Dimension
As you may or may not have seen on my dear husband's blog we had our 4D scan on Sunday. What an amazing thing that is! Having been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes on the Wednesday before, I was obviously relieved to see her sleeping happily. Doing what babies should be doing. She was sleeping like an angel, her tiny hands curled up over her face.Although she was being as uncooperative as I am when a camera is put near me, we managed, after much 'brisk walking' around Canterbury, fidgeting, wobbling and whatever other means of encouragement we could think of, to actually capture sight of her face. I sleep with my hands across my face in just the same way and it felt very odd to see her do it too. We watched in amazement as she had a drink, smiled, frowned and poked out her tongue. At one point she managed to get her foot across her face too, which is quite an achievement! Both her grandmothers were also in attendance and it was a fantastic experience. Actually being able to see her face and then to see the movements that I could also feel was something quite amazing.
The house is upside down at the moment, half term week saw two days with the plasterer and a weekend full of plumbing and painting. There is not one room in the whole house that is not totally upside down. It is not easy to negotiate with a baby waddle. It will all be worth it in the end. Every day I tell myself, 'this mess is all for the baby!'
Sometimes it even stops me stressing!
I have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow to see what we can do about my Gestational Diabetes. It has been a week since I found out and no one has given me any advice, so I am pretty freaked out. With only 11 weeks to go, I am getting nervous, and am aware of how much she relies on me for everything. I am terrified that I am eating the wrong things - hopefully they will be able to put my mind at rest tomorrow.
Fingers crossed. I could do with some sleep!
