16 weeks + 1 day

Yesterday I had my 2nd midwife appointment, she is so nice and I really feel relaxed around her. Jon came with me and we heard our baby's heartbeat again. It was 154 bpm and the midwife predicts a girl! or a very active boy! Apparently under 140 bpm is usually a boy and over is usually a girl. The fact that I have a very tiny, slight preference for a boy means I'm ignoring her prediction and waiting til my scan on August 1st where hopefully they will be able to tell for real!
Anyway, all my blood tests were fine, my iron levels are good, there was nothing weird or strange in my wee! Oh and I'm thinking about having a home birth............

On Monday Jon treated me to a shopping trip to Bluewater, and bought me my first maternity clothes!! I got a pair of jeans, 2 t-shirts, and a pair or tracksuit bottoms! Oh they are so comfy! We also bought baby a lovely little white snowsuit in the sales!

Yesterday before my midwife appointment, Jon's parents took us to look at prams, and we have ordered the one we want. Jon's parent's have kindly offered to pay for it!
this is the one we are getting. It has everything we need and because the baby can sleep in the carrycot we don't need to buy a moses basket. They also bought us our cot which was a really good price, and we got an electric steriliser on sale and a bouncy seat for just £10.

Well that's me all updated!

Update!

Okay so I've been really bad at updating!! Jon and I have been away for the last 6 days, we went to Jon's parent's caravan on the coast. We had a really lovely time, the weather was fantastic and it was just nice to be together and be away from work etc.
Anyway I had my scan just over a week ago and it was such a lovely experience! We saw our baby and he/she was looking like a baby! We saw him/her waving his/her arms and legs around and it was amazing. There is a little person growing inside of me! My next scan will be 1st August when we should be able to find out the sex of the baby if baby is co-operative! He/she was very co-operative with this scan, the Dr managed to get all the measurements he needed. I have my next midwife appointment in 2 weeks which will be good, it feels like things are progressing now I'm in my 2nd trimester! It will be December before I know it!!

Anyway here is the long awaited picture!
