Just two more sleeps until our morphology scan which will a) let us know that embie is still doing ok, b) let us know about any deformities c) determine the sex of our little one!
I am getting super scared about the scan day, as I know that if anything is wrong with embie, like its heart has stopped beating, that's when we will find out.
Since I last posted I have noticed that I have been snappier than usual (especially at my poor husband). I can relate to it feeling like PMS. I have put on 1kg which I am very proud of, and my tummy has gained another centimetre.
I still haven't felt anything that I'm confident about being embie moving around inside, and cannot wait until that happens.
I have notice a change in my bowel movements in that they have gone a little more towards the constipation end of the scale than in my first trimester. I'm not concerned really as I know this is very common, but I am wondering what has caused the change? Is it just my digestive system slowing down? Is the fibre I'm consuming in a different form due to change of seasons and change of fruit and veges etc?
My only real cravings so far have been boost juice (in the first trimester), twisties and then and now cheezels, and I feel one forming for fresh bun loaf! Notice no healthy ones!
Our collection of baby items is coming along nicely, with embie's nursery starting to fill slowly with bits and pieces. I have formed a list of outstanding items which I am going to try and stick to now, rather than just buying all the cute things I see. After the scan on Tuesday, when we know the sex and safety of the baby, we are going to decide on and order the nursery furniture. As well as buying some more sex specific clothing/blankets/towels etc.
We have decided on a sherbet/pastel orange colour for a feature wall in the nursery, as it goes well with two large toys and the main cot set we have bought for the room. We also wanted to go a unisex colour so that the nursery would be appropriate for all of our future children (fingers crossed) and not just whatever sex the first one was.
After Tuesday (all going well) I might post some pics of the little one, and an update on my tummy if it has grown any further.
