Emergency, emergency!!!

I wasn't planning on writing anything until next week, Friday the 13th, day of my first appointment with the antenatal care unit, but something happened this morning...


Since yesterday I've been feeling extremely tired, more than usual, I even fell asleep on the sofa in the afternoon! Anyway: I've also been off food... Nothing appeals to me... My appetite has gone, by the looks of it... But what happened this morning has little to do with what I just said... I think I saw some blood when I wiped after being for a pee... I confirmed that the world can turn upside down and that, suddenly, everything is superficial and nothing else matters... I phoned the Antenatal care Unit but they can not see me until tomorrow... I then phoned Ninewells... God, definitely, has put angels in this world... Some of them Angels are at Ward 35 in Ninewells Hospital... I had a quick shower and drove up to Dundee... I was thinking just about everything... I was thinking good things and bad ones as well... I didn't have to wait for long before they took me in for the scan... The Nurse's faces were very reassuring that, no matter what, everything was going to be fine... As soon as he scan started, the voice of "look at that" brought a tear to my eye... Then they asked me: "can you see the heartbeat?" And there it was!!! My little pea's heart beating away!!! I can not describe the feeling... I supposse it's unique to every woman, but it can not be described with a lesser word than "MARVELOUS!"


The baby has grown an awful lot since the first scan! 10 mm, in fact! Today it measured 18.4 mm :) And everything seems to be going perfectly fine. The Nurses explained that because of the amount of growing of the baby, I will feel exhausted and tired most of the time... Hence my nap on the sofa!!!


Anyway: everything is ok... I will go to Stirling tomorrow anyway, just to have another glance at my beautiful baby pea!


In the meantime, I'm considering seriously another nap!!! See you later!!!
