Week 9

A strange week - I don't actually feel as if I'm pregnant this week - body seems to be acting as normal, except I cannot get warm. It doesn't help that our boiler has died this week though. Mum says my great gran, Nanny Kimmer, used to say, "That baby's taking all the heat from you!" Let's just hope he or she continues to take the heat in the summer, because otherwise I'm going to be walking around with an industrial wind turbine to keep cool!

I've got my meeting with the midwife this week - Wednesday afternoon, and Scott's off work for half term with me, so he'll be coming too. I think they do blood tests and stuff, no scans. That'll be in a few weeks after the booking meeting.

I'm still nausea-free and not really doing cravings, although I've gone off the Uncle Ben's microwave risotto I'd bought for school :( I'm also drinking lots of milk, which is apparently a good thing.

Scott and I went to Ikea yesterday to buy bathroom stuff (our half-term project) and had a quick look in the baby department. Far too scary to think about any of that stuff yet, but quite nice to think that one day we'll be in there buying bits and bobs from there. We were given a big bag of baby clothes from a lady on Freecycle too this week, with very cute teddy bear snow suits and little vests and stuff. Mango and Marmite are very intrigued...

Please do leave comments and messages - it makes life a bit more interesting for me, and I love a distraction.

Take care all,
Jeanie.
