So, its time to come 'out of the closet' so to speak. My burgeoning stomach has made it impossible to hide the fact any longer: I am well and truly up the duff, it seems :-)
Mark and I are absolutely delighted. I am currently 14 weeks and 2 days pregnant (like, who is counting... ahem), so am well and truly in my second trimester apparently! We had the scan a couple of weeks ago, and "Piglet" as he/she is more commonly known is measuring a couple of days ahead of what he/she should be, and looks like a very healthy little specimen... Piglet was asleep throughout the scan (must remember to eat breakfast before-hand next time!), and seemed to be laying face downwards "gutter stylee" (as my friend put it)...
Anyway... I just wanted to warn you that this blog could become very boring in the next few months - as I wax lyrical about a myriad of minor yet painfully embarrassing medical complaints (have I mentioned my constipation and excess hair yet?), and then go on to simper over my undoubtedly beautiful and truly angelic child... those of you with a delicate constitution should delete your bookmark to this site now ;-)
In case any of you are wondering (I know I would be - but I don't care even if you are not) - NO, I haven't had any morning sickness at all (yay!), YES I have put on a vast amount of weight already (including one particular area(s) of my body that believe me does not need any help), NO I don't know what sex it is yet (I fancy it is a boy for no particular reason other than intuition, but would be delighted whatever it is), NO we are now rushing off to get married, and NO we haven't picked any sensible names yet. Mark's suggestions so far constitute "Eric Von Hipple", "Jimmy Hill", and "Bungle Gaylord"! I have decided to go back to work after six months or so off, and have even sussed out a nursery I like in my local area. I apologise now if that offends your sensibilities as a parent, but we all do things differently... and as it goes, that's the last apology I make for our decisions ;-) I like to get things straight up front (hormones? me?).
Tomorrow I have my 'triple test' blood test. Wish me luck... I am hoping and praying that all is fine with this long awaited little one. The sonographer at the hospital mentioned that the 'nuchal fold' was small on the scan (this nuchal fold can be indicative of Downs if enlarged), so let's just hope that that is a good indication.
Anyway... am off to pottery!Speak soon

I like Piggy's suggestions ... and don't dare apologize for anything. I will be sending you my back catalogue of Gina Ford books and believe me, there are plenty of people who get down in the mouth about that! ; )
