It's a BOY!

Today we are 17+1 - wow.

I am extremely grateful but still riddled with worries. I don't think the pain of a mc will ever leave me. I've spoken to a few pregnant ladies who have also experienced mc and they all feel somewhat similar - the mc has stolen a little bit of joy from this pregnancy. If we can just get to 24 weeks I'll calm down. Promise. Erm, I do believe I said that about 12 weeks.... *blink*

So: we just arrived back from a weeks vacation which was much needed and appreciated. Private villa with pool and lashings of sunshine. The only major downside to the vacation is that since my return I've done nothing but scratch - today is day 5 and I'm starting to lose patience. I can confirm, however, that sickness has well and truly left the building - hoo-RAY!

... And last week, around 16+3 my bump appeared - yippee! It's all starting to feel very real, esp since we had a gender scan last Thursday and it was very evident we are having a boy - little flasher! On top of that, in the past two days I have felt movements which surprised me - I figured it would be a few more weeks till I felt something.
