V-day

It's my V-day today, woop woop V-day hehe.

Think I should have checked when I last posted before starting this post. I think it was Tuesday before me and hubby took our son to his first firework display.
He loved it, by the looks of things. Didn't cry until we got in the car but I think that was just because he was tired and getting hungry.

Wednesday - nothing really happened that I remember of. We thought about going to another firework display, up by our home town, but I thought that might be a bit too much for the little guy.
I'm sure we did something Wednesday but can't remember what.
Oh yea stayed in all day, mainly because I don't like to leave the house without hubby or someone I know. I spoke about why in a previous post I believe. In the evening we went shopping as we had to get some ink for the printer. The plan was to get just ink for the printer and instead we ended up coming out with a board game, ink, a dvd and some other bits. Ended up spending £80 odd. woops.

Thursday - I had my 24 week midwife appointment. It went pretty well. My bump is measuring right on track 24cm. Baby's heart rate was 140bmp. A old wives tale would say that is a boy, and I am having a boy. My blood pressure was actually normal. I spoke to her about my dizzy spells and she thinks its because I am not drinking enough. Which actually kinda makes sense. I've always struggled to drink the amount I should. I spoke to her about not hearing from a consultant. If you've come from Baby and Bump forum then you may have seen my thread ranting about how my midwife had to send the paper work off 3 times before I actually got my appointment through.
When I told her I hadn't heard anything from them she was straight on the phone to them, explaining that she had faxed of the forms twice already and gave them dates of when she did them. She told infront of me that she was sending them in about 5 minutes and with the date she sent them and that she was going to put a copy of it in my notes.
About 15 minutes later I got a phone call for my consultant appointment for 3 weeks time. apparently it was the earliest appointment they had. Baring in mind that I was meant to first see them when I was 20 weeks and by the time I do actually see them i'll be 27 weeks. I think that's pretty bad.
I am hoping to find out then whether i'll have to have another C-section or not. I can see the chances of that being fairly high. As my little one had IUGR I should find out then whether i'll have extra scans to see if this one has it as well. I was measuring (by scans) a few days behind possible up till I was about 28 weeks, We think that's when the growth started to slow down. That was round about when my bump stopped growing.

Today - spent all morning in bed. Little one woke up at half 6 for a bottle, went back to sleep till about 9ish then had a little play about on my bed till about half 10 then feel asleep till about 1. It was great I got the much needed sleep. Waking up at night because you need to pee, surprisingly takes quite a bit of energy out of you. I think that might be because your sleep is disturbed.
My little one is about 8 and a half months, and today I stood him up held his hands while my hubby sat at the other end of the living holding out one of his toys. He started walking to him. The biggest smile came across my face.
We went to hubby's parents as we do on a Friday and showed them what our little one can do. As you may know if you read my first post of the blog that he was a prem. He's doing everything and more for his age, and for him to now be walking is scary. He's growing up so fast. He only started crawling last month and now he can walk if you hold his hands.
Oh yea today is my V-day. 24 weeks today. It's gone so fast. 16 weeks till my due date and 16 weeks till my little guys first birthday.
