Exciting Weeks | Fairy's Tales

Today I am 20 weeks 5 days

I know, I know; I've been slacking! I don't know why but every Wednesday it comes to writing a new blog post and I just cannot be bothered! I don't know if it's because I write these on my iPad and I don't have a proper keyboard so typing on here seems to take soooo long but I really lack motivation! But enough is enough, I might just bite the bullet and buy a Bluetooth keyboard and stand so it's more like a laptop, we'll see! 

Anyway, a lot has happened since my last post, the most important thing being that my lovely boyfriend, the father of my child got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was very romantic but I will not divulge into the details because it's nice to keep thing private. 

The second exciting thing that happened the day after the engagement was that Lee felt the baby moving! I'd been feeling movement from around the 19th of April, just little taps that I totally wasn't sure if it was or not. Everyone seems to say it feels like butterflies and that was not the case at all. It felt like I was being flicked. Lee was away the evening I first felt it but on the 25th of April after we'd just been out to an amazing Indian restaurant we were lying on the settee and I could feel the monkey wriggling around and amazingly Lee got to feel it too. Since then he's felt a kick one other time and we've both seen my belly wave and judder (not just because of the chub). I like that he can experience this too, especially as to start with I wasn't sure if what I was feeling was in my own head!!

The 3rd excitement since I've been MIA was of course our 20 week scan. Now, we haven't found out the sex because to me it really doesn't matter; In fact I may post a whole blog on that. So if anyone out there thinks they're an expert on telling what the sex of a baby is by looking at scans I'd appreciate if you just kept your mouths shut (hormonal mother bitch here - seriously I will get you). Everything is fine with the little being, however during the scan my bladder was soooo full I could barely walk into the room let alone get onto the bed, plus the pressure of the machine, ugh, it was awful! We were in there for a good 30-40 minutes before they let me empty my bladder because the baby was in an awkward positition. Once I'd emptied my bladder, surprise surprise, the baby had turned and they could get all the heart measurements and face etc! I could have told them that!! 

Anyway! This has been a text heavy post, I am sooo sorry! I won't leave it so long next time! I have to go and make tea now so I will speak to you all next week!
