Thursday...

Hello.

I just thought it was about time for a little update.

Last night Mr. T stoke my belly and said that he couldn't wait for the little one to arrive. I know that he's gonna be a great dad. He'll probably be much much better at the parenting thing than I.
Not long to go now until we'll go for our first appointment with the midwife. I should really write down a few questions that I have so I don't forget to ask them when I've got the chance.

Mr. T went to work a while ago so for me the rest of the day will consist of telly watching and net surfing. Not that I'm complaining though.. :)
I was actually a little bit active just a few minutes ago. I had to change the extension socket to the telly in the bedroom and make sure that it looked good with all the cables well nailed to the skirting board. We'll see what Mr. T think of it later. But if I don't do it I'll never gets done.
And I don't want to nag to make Mr. T do it. And believe me, nagging needs to be performed when it comes to DIY and him.

He has promised that all the listing in the spare room and bedroom will be completed before the baby arrives. Well, well..We'll see about that.. He's only (!) got 6 more months to go...and already had 9 months to finish it off!

Late night ramblings...

Good night...(well it's night time now..)

Today has been a relaxing and not a very active day for me and Mr. T.
We did some shopping around 2pm and ate our dinner around 4.30pm and have since then just smooched around here at home. Not that this is an unusual thing for us, on the contrary, but I strongly feel that I need to be more active.
The thing is that what do I actually want to and what does Mr. T want to do?
I have thought about going to art museums as I used to like that and Mr. T doesn't seem to be against it. Even though I can’t imagine him looking at pictures or installations for hours.. :)
Another thing I just love is to go to book stores and just wander around for hours and look at all the books, stationary and what have you. But I don't think that that would be going down as well with Mr. T.

I remember being in Sydney with my dear friend Maria. We often went to the largest bookshop in Sydney and spent hours in there. She's just as mad as me.
They had this large chessboard where a lot of intellectual fights between the brains been battled. Some lost and some won. All the same fun! :)

Anyway, here’s some news a bit closer to heart.
Two friends of mine, Carin and Mikael, welcomed their third child to this world last week.
A baby girl called Nova. It’s such a lovely name. Unfortunately I haven't seen her on picture yet but I know she must be lovely. Congrats to you both!

And the baby talk doesn't end there.
Two other friends of mine are only weeks away from giving birth to their second and third child. I wish them all the best!


That’s it for now. I need to get into bed and snuggle up to Mr. T before he goes to work, in the middle of the night, and leave me (and beanie) alone in the cold big bed.

Go’ natt!

Beanie check up....

Good evening.

I and Mr. T just arrived home after being in town since before 2 o’ clock.

We had an appointment with the doc at 2pm. Told the girl at the counter our business when we arrived and was told to sit down and wait. And we waited.....and we waited.... loads of people came and went.... And we waited.
After over an hour and a half of waiting (!) another of the girl at the counter wondered if we were waiting for someone. Mr. T was not very happy at this stage and told them that we had an appointment at 2pm!!!
Then they looked a bit confused but we got to see the doc a while after that.

Fucking muppet behind the counter. She totally forgot about us and she was the one asking us to sit down! Irish healthcare in a nutshell I suppose.

Once we meet the doc, she did a quick scan, said that everything looked now ok and the baby had grown. I asked her about the yellowish discharge I got now instead of the brownish but she said that it was normal. I sure hope so. Think she wanted to go home as she felt a bit rushed.

We waited an hour and a half for something that took under 5 min to complete!

It's only 3 more weeks to go now until I have my 1st proper appointment with the maternity people. Hope that we then can go through my medical and get a proper chat and answer to any questions I might have by then..

Sorry for the rant but just had to get this out of my system.

It’s now time for some magazine reading and chill out time.

Hugs!

Ok, here it comes... Out in the open....bean #2 is with us!!

Good evening,

It's now time to make my new pregnancy public...*TA DAAA**
Ok, so what if I haven't passed the "magic" 12 weeks yet but if something goes wrong later I still want you all to know the joy we're feeling at the moment.

I went to for my early scan today and everything looks ok! *Phew*
Been a bit nervous as I had some brownish discharge on and off since last week but I'm also a bit nervous considering my previous miscarriage.
(Even though that was a late miscarriage..)

The sonographer /doctor said that brown discharge might indicate the beginning of a miscarriage but said that it all looked good. My cervix was long which is a good thing as I said that I wanted them to keep an eye on it.. :)

She scanned my belly for quite some while and then brought in another doctor for a second opinion about something she'd seen on the screen.
The other woman said that everything looked just fine and didn't looked worried or anything. That calmed me down a bit...
But they didn't want me to wait until December for my next scan, I'm booked in for my 1st appointment on the 11th of Dec, so I will go back again already next Friday.
And I've was told I'm in week 9 instead of week 10 but that doesn't matter.

It feels good to be properly checked up upon.

I have two pics of my little bean but you can't really see much but it's a proof that "she's" in there and the little heart is beating just fine.
Can you see the CRL = Crown to Rump Lenght dots... she/he's only about 2,25 cm so far..

The discharge is gone again, strange thing that, it's been really on and off but hopefully it stays off now.

I'm really happy that it all seems ok but at the same time I can't feel too relaxed as I don't want to get my hopes up to much only to be heartbroken later...

Hugs to you all!
Have a great weekend!

Just a little something...

How cute is this?

I wish I had those kind of trick or treatsters outside my door on Halloween... :)

I'm in a mood for cute and funny things and have a peculiar feeling that something good it on it's way.

Is it finally my turn for happiness?

Hugs!

A smile on my face...

Hugs!

Pssst... The parrot in the cage to the left is also rocking.. :)

Good evening... almost good night!

Hi there,

It's been a while since I've update my blog and I feel bad about that.
I've just been surfing around whilst on the internet not paying to much attention to my own blog.

I've a little secret that I cannot possibly divulge just yet but I will in due time.

I'm out the prowl for a job yet again. Yes, I hold my hands up and admit that I'm totally hopeless.
I think, or I hope, there must be something out there that's just right for me. I just haven't found it yet.

Tonight I and Mr. T went to his brother's in Balbriggan. It's been ages since I saw the family and the girls have grown so much. They are so lovely!
We talked a bit about the wedding and the honeymoon. The exact date is yet to be set. We have to call the registrar and get a definite date and time but we'd like it to be at the end of March 2008.

So for all yous in Sweden, you’re very welcome to visit us, even though it’ll “only” be a civil ceremony in a hospital.

Now it’s time to read my magazine and catch up of what the rich and famous are up to these days.

Take Care!

Hugs,
Jess
