We've been for our first scan this morning. Everything is progressing normally even though they feel my dates are wrong and I am not AS
pregnant as they first thought. They ignored that fact I KNOW they exact date this child was conceived, but hey I'm just a mum what do I know !!

I've been wondering if poor Max has a bit of this.  He doesn't really
spit up, but he has weird burping issues.  When I burp him, he gives out

Are you still with us?
I'm getting butterflies for you..;-)

I know when I was small, my mom always made me bundle up, (big time,
hat, scarf, heavy coat,thick socks, rain coats, endless.............)
I  know you have to use common sense like if it's pouring rain or

Well, as I'd mentioned, the OB said that 92% of Downs cases were found using
nuchal fold scan and AFP so I agreed to do the AFP. He called me (yes, you

From a long and very tiring trip, but it was very good to see all our

holiday for this year...
