Week 35

Had the scan on Monday. I was very nervous going in, but my mind was soon put to rest. The amniotic fluid situation is normal, as is the baby. It's measuring pretty much on the 50th centile apart from the abdoman and head measurements which are more towards the 95th centile. The sonographer assured us it was nothing to worry about and that the baby was just a little bigger than average. It's currently weighing in around 6lbs. It should be gaining on average about 0.5 lbs a week now so I could be in for another 8lb baby again. I am going back in two weeks for a further scan as a precautional check -up.

It was lovely to see the baby. Couldn't see all of it as it's quite big now. I will put the scan picturs up when I have more time.

The baby has dropped lower now and I have a constant feeling of wanting the toilet. Sleeping is pretty non existent too. I'm so uncomfortable when I'm lying down. I'm starting to believe I'll actually get more quality sleep once the baby is here!

My pelvis has been a nightmare. Some days I can't walk at all or put any weight on my pelvis/hips without nearly keeling over. On Thursday I had a very bored little boy on my hands, so I popped him in the pram with all intentions of going to the park. I got as far as the bottom of the road and had to turn back. I was in agony. The pain was awful. I was pretty tearful on Thursday night, so Darren took Stefan to his Grandma and Grandad's while I rested in some peace and quiet.

Tony, the patio man called and confirmed he would be starting the patio and path next week. Can't believe it's actually happening now after all this time! We'll have a lovely new patio for when baby makes an appearance and can finally entertain outside without stepping in chicken poo or having stones thrown at you from Stefan! My kitched floor will need less mopping too....
