Baby Mini-Me...


Had the '20 week' scan this morning - and all is well! Limbs and body parts all in the right places, internal organs functioning fine, lovely view of the spine - mini-me spent the time upside down and with their back to the scanner! Stubborn or camera shy? Despite being tickled and jiggled, mini-me wouldn't turn and smile, so the photos are not flattering but are functional! We know the gender - but as the grandparents all said they don't want to know, we're keeping quiet for their sakes...

Sky, snow, and scans...

SKY
We got Sky just before Christmas! (I had promised Mr T it 2 years ago and finally got around to sorting it out!) 500+ channels, and still nothing on... How many shopping channels selling stuff we actually don't need is justifiable? And much as I love DAVE with its re-runs of classics, I don't need DAVE+1 to show me everything and hour later when the ability to record stuff the 1st time is very easy. Whilst we're on the subject, don't get me started on the 'Christian Channels'... good grief...

SNOW
again??? I've really had enough. Winter has made its point. I get it. We are capable of decent snow having bleated on about the good old proper winters when we had 40 feet snow drifts and were still able to get to work, school, shops and save the universe... But does it have to make this much of a point? Roll on the Spring!

SCANS
tommorow! The '20 week anomaly' scan is booked for the 24th Feb, 8.30am (!). Assuming of course the snow melts a little between now and then - and the clinic isn't running 1 hour late as it was last time we went (again due to snow!) I'm finally getting excited - was very cautious up to the last scan 'just in case' - but now I am getting a slight bump, and I'm half way and I think I can feel the baby tickling me, I am excited :-)

More soon... well, less SKY and snow, and more baby stuff :-)
