16 Weeks

Well another week rolls by. I won't take my measurements just yet because Ryan has just filled me up with a delicious meal.

I think i'm starting to process the reality that I can't suck in my belly anymore. It is growing and it will continue to grow until this whole amazing process is over then hopefully it will shrink!

We went to the midwife on Wednesday. Pretty uneventful really

My bloods had come back all good...
HIV -ve phew!!
Hb 13.9 (12-16g/dL is normal)
Every else was all good.

We've decided not to do any further test for Downs Syndrome, Spina Bifida etc. This child is a creation of us. Unique and precious no matter what. Some people I guess would just like to know. Many of the major abnormalities are likely to show up on the next ultrasound so we'll wait to then. At the end of the day this baby is still on it's way and we're totally looking forward to meeting this little one.

Next midwife appointment is not until March 14th after our ultra sound scan on Feb 20th.

Until then we grow... and grow... and grow.
