Cravings

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Although bec is 12 weeks, she doesn’t seem to be having many cravings at the moment, but if there is one thing that she can’t get enough of at the moment it’s “sports mixture” sweets, there a bit like wine gums but nicer.  so if you have plans to visit in the next few months, bring sports mix :)

Pressies

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

We’re starting to get pressies for marsha, the other day we got a “babies first book” where you can put in the first scan, babies first work, picture etc, it was lovely.  Yesterday we had some yellow rubber ducks  :) wicked i think i’ll be playing with them, never mind marsha :)  Thanks for the gifts, you know who you are :) x

Marsha?

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

People keep asking us, you’re calling the baby marsha?  Well no we’re not, but beck and i always had this joke that the baby bump would be called marsha and as my surname is mellors putting them together is funny [assuming you've heard of marshmellows :)]  So for you all out there, marsha is just a nick name :)

Baby Scan #2

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Today beckie and i went for the babies 2nd scan, this is to check for potential Down’s Syndrome. To be honest we only really did the test so that if the baby did have it or was likely to have it, we could prepare. The hospital seemed packed but we got to see the midwife pretty quickly which i was happy for. Beck had the scan which did hurt her back a little [i'm sure if the kid did have fingers at this point it would be sticking it's fingers up at us] and we eventually got the results. Apparently for a woman who’s 35 the average risk is 1/315 our results were 1/1659, this was good news for us. We also had a couple of other results one for Edwards Syndrome and i think the other was Patterson Syndrome, 1/25000….All fine. Wow what a relief :)
