BABY!!
It was the most amazing thing to see that our DUCK is looking like a little baby. Had my Nuchal Translucency scan on Friday and it was really great. I think that these days it is pretty standard to have this screening test done, for most people it is their first chance of seeing the baby. My friend A who is 26 weeks preggo came along for the ride..
I usually dont drink as much as I am supposed to and for the first two scans this was fine, but this time I was caught red handed.. the very nice sonographer actually checked my bladder and was all oh there is only 40 ml in here you need to go and drink more.. Bubbles was in a weird position and it was too hard to get any measurements.. he/she was moving around heaps, which is really surreal since I obviously dont feel any movements yet. Back in the waiting room I was forcing myself to drink more and not pee in my pants. After 30 min we could go back in and have another look and start the measurements. It was so so cool.
The sonographer was lovely and explained everything I asked. It is a bit hard to see the screen since it is mainly facing her and not me, but she gave me a lot of time at the end to just have a look at Bubbles.. He/she though had enough and decided it was time to face away from us. I was told that the results would be available in a few days. After seeing Bubbles and realising that all was well (the sonographer, was really reassuring and while it is not her job, told me that Bubbles looked great, the nuchal fold was fine and there was nothing to be concerned about). I was happy and sad at the same time. This was really a time where Y should have been there and of course having A there was wonderful but it kinda made me realise that it can be quite lonely to have to go through this alone.
The worst part was that could not even get a hold of him and while I knew he was having a party it just felt that it was all me. And that I have to do everything myself, while he gets to be miles away having fun and not having any of the responsibilities. I understand that he has a life outside this whole baby thing and I don’t expect him to sit at home doing nothing, I just had hoped that he would have taken into consideration that I was having the scan and that I would be contacting him.
We are still without a solution for the whole what is going to happen when the baby is here… I have a feeling that he does not realise that he needs to find a job. I did tell him that when I come for visit I will need answers or a plan or something.
I decided yesterday that I am moving house. My friend T was looking for a flatmate and I went over and had a visit and loved it!!! So much nicer than where I am now but the best thing about it, the rent is 80 dollars / week cheaper. I am so excited and hope to move in by the start of August! The other good thing, I will be able to take over the lease in January if I need/want!!
