My oh My, was in such a panic! Turns out it was gas pain and stretching pain combined I think rather than braxton hicks but it was enough to make me a little bit sick and not sleep for ages. Pretty sure that must be code for 'have a party Theo' because he did exactly that haha and he is still going this morning. There is going to be some serious sleep training going on from October! I'm really quite sore this morning but the pain did leave eventually. Think I need to get my pregnancy pillow back out and give myself a lot of support in bed now.
4D scan is in 2 days time woohoo!

Glossing the nest
Last week, we had all the flat glossed (there is a tiny bit of emulsioning left to be done but all in all, the flat is virtually fully decorated). It was the singlemost stressful week this year for sure. For one thing, we got a friend of Lee's in who doesn't drive so I had to do all the picking up and dropping off. He doesn't bring lunch, and thus, I was providing food, not to mention all my juice was gone at the end of the week, and he has got paint all over the carpets, which Lee has had to get out with turpentine. It took Lee hours to clean the kitchen. What a joke.
Anyway, it's done now and we have all our new bedroom furniture. The nursery/bedroom is starting to look amazing, and although Theo's wall stickers and bed in a bag aren't here yet, I made up the cot with his sheet, mobile, a crocheted blanket and his soft toys. So unbelievably sweet. I'm hoping to not have to do any baby shopping post 30 weeks.
My 4D scan is less than 2 weeks away and my next hospital scan is 12 days after that so we are seeing a lot of Theo soon. He is getting big and active and it's really lush. It's amazing the difference this time in instinct too, for example, I am nesting like crazy and hate breaks in my loose routine.
I get sad lots that it couldn't be like this last time and I still feel guilty for being so excited for Theo when I couldn't be for Ellie. Having him healthy and safe to date makes me realise the pregnancy I didn't have last time but I am just not taking him for granted when he is such a special present from my Ellie-phant.

Viable!
In 1 hour and 10 minutes, Theo becomes viable. Wow, 24 weeks already. The relief is that I'm not at risk of premmie labour though after my swab yesterday. I didn't think I would be but it is good to know.
Theo-zilla is estimated 1.4lbs which is about 58th centile for gestation. What a little beast. It was great seeing his little face and watching him swallow but we are pretty sure profile wise he looks like Lee. We hope to find out in 3 weeks as our 4D scan is booked for June 30th and then my next Dr Mckenzie appointment is July 12th. I'm at the midwife a week on wednesday so lots of meetings. I love my doctor, she is really good so I'm starting to have a little bit more confidence being back at my local hospital.
As we get further on, movements are getting more frequent and strong and I love it. I get a fair bit of acid and tire so easily but you know what? My pregnancy is really easy and even the sickness pleased me originally because it was a sign of a strong baby. My friends have had it worse and I'm just grateful to be here.
Lee has now painted our bedroom and the furniture will be sorted next week so our bedroom/nursery is gonna be gorgeous. Putting a deposit down for 2013's holiday soon too. Exciting! Back off to Marmaris in Turkey, which will be amazing.
