When I noticed I was approaching 1000 blog entries, I decided I'd save up something important and post it as the 1000th entry.... so here goes.
Gareth and I are very delighted (and a bit nervous!) to announce that we're expecting child #3!
We had a 12 week scan this morning (the Nuchal Translucency scan to check for neural tube defects) and everything looked great...... we got to see the little baby's heart beat and see it wriggling around.... and everything suddenly became very real!
Not that it hasn't been real for me thus far anyway as unlike my previous two pregnancies I've been suffering almost constant nausea and feeling utterly vile. Hopefully now that the 12 week mark is reached this will subside a little and I will begin to feel a little more normal again.
It's been hard not to write about this but I wanted to wait until the scan to be sure everything was OK...... something about the age factor I suppose (35 = ancient!)
Posted by katie at December 21, 2006 03:24 PMWow, you picked an awesome topic for your 1000th post! How exciting! CONGRATS!!!!
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so yucky. You certainly have had more than your fair share of ills. Its just not fair. :(
And don't you just love the term "advanced maternal age" (I am 35 as well...oh wait, I decided to be 33 again.)
Posted by: Lynanne at December 21, 2006 05:21 PMCongrats again to you both! This time around I have slightly more idea of what you're going to be going on about ;)
Congrats Katie - sorry to hear you've been feeling rotten. I'm sure it will all ease off soon though, and the energy will come back!

Posted by: Salman at December 26, 2006 10:11 PMAdvanced maternal age! Hahahahahaaaaaa, you old git!
We did the Trans-Nuchal check (as they call it here in blighty) as my other half was considered to be ancient too at 38, but it's not available on the NHS, but well worth the 90-odd quid we paid at the time.
It is nice to see the little wriggler..and congrats to you 2 again and rest assured i'll be a regular reader of your uptheduff blog posts.
Lots of love from your partner in musical crime.
