The 3D scan yesterday was a really lovely experience. Instead of that cold, medical, 'no husbands allowed' type officiousness they have at the hospital, we were treated to a large room with comfy chairs, a very nice friendly DR performing the scan, a large screen monitor directly opposite for us to view, classical music playing in the background, and overall a pleasant relaxed environment which wasn't rushed nor unpleasant in any way. Just the way it should be and worth every penny.
The baby treated us to a show of acrobatics for the next 30 mins, he's extremely lively! He wasn't too keen to show his face, unfortunately, he spent nearly all of the time with his hands and arms over his head, obviously a favourite position. He was lying acrossways in my tummy which I think is a change from more recently as movement for the last couple of days is now focussed somewhere around the middle of the bump instead of the lower part.
From there I went on to have my weekly massage which was, as usual, fabulous. I asked her to concentrate some more on my lower back which has been playing up as usual, and she did. Unfortunately it's now pretty sore and I had to take some Tylenol in the night to enable me to sleep as the pain was quite bad.
I forgot to say that I'm now 22 weeks pregnant. According to that link, cravings are kicking in, which is odd as I thought that you only got those early on, but absolutely accurate. Over the last few days I've found myself craving variously tomato'ish things, fried eggs and [sugar free, of course] chocolate Angel Delight. Hopefully these cravings don't get any weirder, or include anything sugary.
Now I must go and lie down. D is at school and I'm knackered as he woke me at 3.30am for an hour because he has a sniffle... blah.
