Well blog haven’t I been incredibly slack!!!
I am now 18w 6d, nearly halfway! I am having my morphology scan on Wednesday 28th of May.
My 12 week scan was a disappointing experience, the sonographer was extremely rude and un caring we both walked away feeling upset.
Due to my previous miscarriage and confusion with my dates I had had two early scans at which both scans bub was just a blob, I knew at my 12 week scan that baby would look like a baby complete with arms and legs and that we would be able to see he/she moving around.
The lady who conducted the scan barely uttered two words the whole time and did little to reassure me that our bundle was ok.
I don’t want to dwell on that too much so will just leave it there. My downs results came back low risk at 1 in 9744, I was hoping for a lower risk given my age but I am happy with that.
I have now begun to feel bubby moving so that is very exciting, up until now it has been ooh was it or wasn’t it, however yesterday I felt 5 very distinct kicks, it was amazing.
Last night laying in bed Cameron also felt movement while pressing gently on my belly so that was also exciting, hopefully that will begin to make it more real for him, who am I kidding it isn’t even real for me yet!
The last couple of days I have been feeling quite anxious, just worrying that something may be wrong and also that abnormalities will be found at my Morphology scan, I am trying to tell myself to relax and that everything with our bundle is just fine. Much easier said than done! hopefully after the big scan I will feel more confident, however I am worried that I am setting myself too many benchmarks and that this pregnancy will fly past me which it already is and I wont fully relax and enjoy this amazing time.
So each day I try to revel in the amazing process that is happening inside my body, I am growing, supporting, nurturing another growing life, it doesn’t get anymore amazing than that!
Now I will share some photos from Mothers Day 2008 my last Mothers Day without being a Mummy, I consider myself a Mum now but every Mothers Day from now I will be nurturing and adoring our precious bundle.

My bump at 18w 4d
My Mum and I
Cameron and I with Cooper, he had to be in all the photos, check out the pose with the hip action!
I just love this picture of Cooper, oh my is he growing up too quickly.
I also love this picture of Jamie, Lisa and Cooper, minus the dagginess of Jamie, it was an impromptu photo shoot!
This is Cooper riding his motorbike with Dad's assistance, he is such a little revhead, thankfully the throttle is very governed so it only putts along and someone is always holding the bike, I fear if we have a boy they will follow the same path!
And lastly Cooper with his helmet on, he absolutely loves his helmet, always lines it up next to Dad's at home, together with their goggles and gloves.
