What I look like today.
Feel like crap. It’s grey and pissing it down.
Looking forward to seeing Kei though. :D 

Today, one of Matt’s friend brought his daughter round Matt’s house and she is so adorable! Even Matt said (when I spoke to him after work) how cute she is. She followed me everywhere and I played with some cuddly toys with her, even Matt joined in, instead of speaking to his mates and brother. He’s going to be such a good daddy, I just know it. He’s always been so good with my cousin’s kids, they all love him.

Tomorrow we’re going to have a chill out day, we have lots of films to watch and we’re going to buy popcorn, make nachos and have fajitas for tea. I can’t wait! Things are going really well between us, we have had our rough patches before, but we’re going so strong right now, it’s amazing. 

Also, I didn’t realise how late it was, so I need to shower and go sleep! Night all. xx
 

My beautiful baby!

I took these screen shots from the dvd we got from the scan. I’ll have to ask my sister to edit the dvd for me cus I’ve never used imovie before.
Baby likes to press his body/ face right up against my belly, so his face was squished a lot of the time, especially his nose! The lady said that he’s going to be a snuggly baby, which he must get it from Matt, cus Matt likes to snuggle too. As you guys can see, he has such chubby cheeks, I hope he’s not going to be a 10 pounder. Lol. 

I’m so happy we finally got some pictures of him, even though they weren’t brilliant, I’m really pleased! The lady gave us extra prints too, which was nice of her.

Currently baby is doing all sorts of weird stuff, it feels like he’s trying to break out of me, it’s actually hurting when he moves. It didn’t help that I ate quite a bit and in a sort space of time too! Food is just too yummy for me to eat slow/ little. 

My mum and I reckon he looks like Matt. Especially the eye area. I can’t wait to meet him!! 

(Also, I changed it to b&w, just cus I prefer it like this.)

So today I had an appointment with my midwife. She took some blood (with difficulty cus of my bruises from my previous blood test). My glucose tolerance test from Thursday came back fine, meaning no diabetes for me!
It’s always something that is in the back of my mind as it runs in my family.
Blood pressure and urine was also ok.
I’m measuring 28cm at 30 weeks which is consistent with my last measurements (25cm at 27 weeks).
Baby’s head is down, which is why I’ve been feeling so much pressure on my bladder when I need to pee! Lol. So much so it gets difficult to walk, cus I’m trying to hold my wee in. Lol. Also bending down/ over is getting very difficult too. Oh and baby’s heartbeat was very strong, always makes me happy to hear his heart beat.

Tomorrow I have my flu and whooping cough jabs. I’m not bothered about those, just not happy about waking up so early for them!
THEN on Thursday we get to see our little bubs again. The scan is to check that he’s growing consistently etc. I hope everything turns out fine. A big part of me still worries in case something is wrong, as I didn’t know I was pregnant for such a long time. Fingers crossed everything is all good.

Today Matt was being really sweet and had dinner ready for when I finished uni. He keeps talking to baby because the other day baby reacted to his voice for the first time. But Matt’s like a kid and ends up shouting at baby instead of talking to him. I said that he’ll scare the baby, lol. He goes “baby, listen to me, I’m your daddy. Do what I say… kick me in the face NOW!” Lol.

I guess I best get some sleep, else I won’t wake up tomorrow!

SO after 3 weeks wait, we had finally reached the day where we get to see baby on the big screen again! I was hoping we could get a clearer pic of baby and find out the gender too.
WELL, turns out baby has changed positions now. The head is right near my left hip, as opposed to being near my right. Legs are on the right side of me near my ribs (no wonder I was in pain sometimes) and turns out that arms are on my left (baby has really strong punches too!) Anyway, baby’s head was in an awkward position this time, we couldn’t even see the face! WAH.

Back home from work!
All day I kept thinking back to the scan. Afterwards Matt took a pic of the scan straight away and sent it to his brother and mates, bless him.
He said to me as we were walking back to the car, “did you see the baby’s nose!?” in a sort of “how cute was that?” way. 
I’m so happy! :DDDD 

Today was quite nice. Even though I didn’t get to spend much time snuggling with Matt. I spoke to Matt’s mum about what I’d like. Showed her the pushchair and car seat. And she said she’ll get them for us. Like I said before, I didn’t expect her to, it’s really nice of her.
Matt’s kinda finally got around to the idea of me being pregnant. Before, he just put his hand on my belly whenever I said the baby was kicking, now he puts his hand on my belly when we lay down straight away. Today he greeted me by saying “look at my little baby” whilst feeling my bump, “it’s little Matty”. Lol. Quite sweet! I know he’ll be a great dad anyway, cus he’s really good with children and they just love him.
Also, we had dinner at my home today cus it’s the mid autumn festival. And it’s the first time he’s been round for dinner since I’ve told my parents the news. They were fine. I was dreading them asking him a million and one questions.
So all in all, it’s been a good day.
I’m sooo excited for my scan tomorrow. I really hope my baby is ok and there’s nothing wrong. I can’t wait to see him/her!

Or so, I’ve been sat here panicking that I’m going to be massive. I think I’m huge already. And my sides hurt from my belly getting bigger.
I just keep looking at images of other people’s bumps to compare to see if I’m too big. Argh.

Finished work early today (a whole 10 mins, woo), and when I got home, I had food waiting for me. Yes.
Tomorrow’s plans are to go to the gym, chill (possibly carry on with my clear out) and go see Matthew.
I also told my cousin the news yesterday, she’s really excited. I’m just waiting for her to be less busy (she currently has a house guest) so we can have a chat and she can give me some much needed advice on what stuff to buy!
I’m really happy at the moment… although this morning on my way to town I did get a bit of road rage, personally, I blame the hormones… but there are some utter idiots on the road. I was tempted to buy some more baby clothes, but let’s face it, the unisex stuff isn’t amazing and I just end up looking at all the girl clothes!
Matt reckons it’s a girl cus he wants a boy and I reckon it’s a boy cus I want a girl… So we can’t wait to find out.  

I think Matt is considering finding a new job… He told me that the job he’s been looking at will only be on nights though… which I don’t really mind to be honest, but it’s up to him whether he wants to take it or not.
I mean sometimes you have to make sacrifices.
He told me that it’s £15 an hour. Which is really good wage and his friend from college works there at the moment… So hopefully he’s in for a good chance for getting the job.
He said that his friend is 23 and owns a house that he’s doing up and thinking of renting out and buying another house! Crazy.
We’ll see what he decides. I don’t want to push him into anything… but from the sounds of it, he’s finally realised that he has no future at his current work place, which is the best thing I’ve heard in ages. 

I spoke to my sis last night. Asked her about if my parents have said anything. She said they’re ok. So I feel a lot better. Cus I still wasn’t sure how to react from my mum’s reaction. Plus I was so emotional afterwards. She also Said that she’s there to support me when I need it. So that’s a relief too. I’m happy now. :) Also I slept well last night. Instead of 4-5 hours I managed to get 7. But did anyone else have crazy/ very vivid dreams when they were pregnant? Or is it just me? Lol.

that she’s bought me a birthday present. I was pleasantly surprised as I usually just get money off them. PLUS they have recently bought me a dressing table. So I was really not expecting a gift. In most recent years, I have only received a gift on my 21st. Also I got a watch from them for Christmas last year. 
Lol… I know it’s not a big deal to most people as I can see that some of the people I follow on here get spoilt to fuck by their parents! (Which I am insanely jealous about). But my family have never been the type to spoil us. We were always taught that if you get good grades or behave then you will get a reward sort of thing. Haha.

ALSO, my sister has given me money to put towards a camera that I like. So I’m super excited about that too. Matt said that he will give me the rest of the money towards it… But I’m not too bothered if he does or not.

Even though I have no plans whatsoever to celebrate my birthday, and I even have to work on my birthday. I am looking forward to it this year… despite being one year older. Wah!

Still pretty knackered. I was going to go gym today. But my legs are aching from swimming and my previous gym session. So I’ll go on Monday.
I’m dragging my sister along too. :p so I’ll have a gym buddy from now on… I hope!
I’ve got a package to pick up at the post office (my shoes) which I am excited for! I’m going to wear them at Matt’s gig.
Also, I have a huge spot above my lip, like a madonna piercing (opposite side of a monroe). Anyway, I can’t pop it, which sucks!
Now I’m going to eat breakfast, cus I’m soo hungry. Matt and I are trying to eat smaller portions for our dinners, and try not to eat so late. We used to eat at about 8 sometimes. Which is pretty late. At my house we eat at 6. :p
I’m not looking forward to work later. It’s going to suuuuck!

a bit sad.
