All that worry....

for nothing!

So the midwife scared us to death, we went for a scan this morning and everything is perfectly normal, even down to the fact that yesterday she said the baby was bum breech like Imogen was and the scan showed she is actually head down......

Lucky??

So I’m driving home last night from work when this idiot decides to slam into the driver’s door and almost shunted me into another lane.

I cannot believe how lucky I was, not only am I absolutely fine but the car doesn’t have a scratch on it!

This morning I had an appointment with the midwife, the baby is measuring 6 inches short for dates so I have to go for a growth scan tomorrow morning, let’s hope my luck holds out!

Just a lil update...

So what’s been happening….

Well I’ve obviously been getting closer to my due date all the time, only 6 weeks to go now and I must admit I’m starting to feel it now!

I don’t think I have put on as much weight as last time as everyone up until about a week ago kept looking surprised when I said how many weeks I am, this is not down to any attempt from me but just luck ha ha

As usual we have left all the things we need to do before baby comes till the last minute but we have finally started to get organised. This coming weekend there is a carpet being fitted in the cellar which will become our bedroom, we can then move Imogen into our room and into a big girls bed which considering she managed to climb out of her cot a few days ago cant come soon enough, and then of course baby Libby can go straight into the nursery as it is.

I am desperate to finish work now, partly just because I know I am and partly because I’m starting to find it harder just getting there now, I finish 30^th July unless my manager miraculously comes back to me about some holidays I am owed that she seems to be studiously ignoring in which case it may be slightly earlier. Either way no more than11 days to go…..WooHoo!!!

We have been telling Imogen that her sister is in my tummy and all the usual things that pregnant mums tell their toddlers, I don’t think she understands at all and think it will be a shock for her, I’m convinced she isn’t going to react well since she was so awful with her cousin when her auntie was looking after her but who knows, she will be around 8 months older and may surprise us, keep your fingers crossed for me lol

She is a delight most of the time, she is talking a lot now showing greater understanding all the time, its quite strange that we can actually have a conversation with her now!

This isnt always good though as she is now throwing lots of tantrums, saying no a lot and generally doing things she knows she's not allowed to do and winding me up immensley lol

She is impossible to punish, nothing bothers her, if we take toys away because she has thrown them or done something naughty she doesnt really react, i will say to her that she will go to bed if she is naughty and she just gabbles "bedtime" and runs to the stairs.

It is so frustrating!

The only thing that i have managed to do to make her understand she has been naughty is withold yoghurt which while in a way it was a breakthrough to find something i can punish her with was also a pain as i actually want her to eat it grrrr

Anyway i am sure this will only get worse as she gets older, i just felt like a whinge!!!

Imogen's First Holiday Pics :0)

I don't usually do a Thursday Thirteen but here are...

Thirteen questions about having baby No 2

1. Should we have left a bigger age gap? Imogen is at the hitting, pinching and even biting stage, admittedly not all the time and it could be worse but I’m not sure it’s what we need with a newborn around!

2. Should we go for No 3? Now we know No 2 is another girl should we risk 3 girls in an attempt to get the boy?? I would really really like a son but I’m not sure I would really really like 3 kids lol

3. Will having 2 kids put us off having 3 or make us think 1 more wont kill us

4. Will Libby look / be like Imogen?

5. Will we be ready? For some reason we seem to have much less urgency to get things ready for Libby, maybe because we have done it before, the odd thing is that we actually have more to get ready this time as we are moving bedrooms into the cellar, Imogen is moving bedrooms to our room and Libby will get the ready made nursery, we haven’t finished painting the cellar yet and we need to get carpet laid, only 11 weeks to go……

6. How will Imogen react to a sister? How will she react to not being the centre of our universe??? Personally I don’t think it’s gonna be a bed of roses!

7. Will we be able to cope with 2??? Everyone kept telling us how our lives would be turned upside down with one and to be honest we were really lucky, she slept through from 6 weeks and that has never changed and I think being older we were more prepared so it wasn’t as much of a shock as it could have been but 2, that’s a whole different ballgame lol

8. How will we manage financially? This month our new government will hold its emergency budget and could quite literally ruin everything for us.

9. Will the washing pile ever go down again??

10. Will the ironing pile ever go down again?

11. Will Chris and I ever have a life again??

12. Is it possible to find babysitters who are willing to look after more than one child??

13. Will we have the energy to go anywhere if babysitters can be found??

Cute! Cute! Cute!

Even if i do say so myself :0)

What do you think??

Of Libby Jane Hall for our new baby girl???
