16w 2d

This week has been on the up and up - last week is now but a distant memory. I guess despite the efforts it has taken for me to get my much wanted baby, im also entitled to feel worried, scared and anxious about things just like any other mummy-to-be. I spent a lot of time last week beating myself up that I was feeling so down about my pregnancy which wasn't helping the situation. Afterall, I am human. I have emotions on high like any other pregnancy. But ultimately, none of my last weeks fears and anxieties take away from the fact that I love and want this baby more than you can imagine!!! We live and learn......


This last week has been good for me. I have started to pop out which is exciting - even getting comments. My belly is starting to harden around the edges, still flabby in parts but there are definitely changes happening! I have been feeling some flutterings in my belly for about a week or so which im told is the early movements of baby. Can't wait until I feel some proper movements or when my husband can feel them on the outside!


I had some prity intense pains this week - was feeling quite uncomfortable with them. I was sure they were related to baby growing but my midwife offered me a scan.... naturally I said yes!!! So we got to see bubs again!!! We are still measuring well, actually ahead a day but whats a day aye! We asked the sonographer if she could see the gender.... she wasn't 100% certain but thought she could so hopefully in 2 weeks time at our anatomy scan this is confirmed.


We are now past the 4month mark - only 5 to go until we meet Petrie!!!
