is it a kind of dream?

Baby is fine. I am so relieved.

Got to see everything, all the bits, even the 4 chambers of the heart, the brain, kidneys, bladder, long bones, all sorts. Switched the scanner to 4d mode but a hand was blocking the view of the face so no movies of smiling cherub faces or anything this time.

And its a girl :) which is very groovy :)

I get another scan at 28 weeks so i'll get to see her again!

Now we gotta start working on names. *ponder*

anomaly scan tomorrow lunchtime, at 22 weeks.

On the NHS.

In 4D.

Pays to be good mates with the sonographer.

:D

i'm inclined to think, just for this moment, that Jake Weber from Medium is the hottest thing on television right now. I may even have to icon.

Probably just the hormones, though. :/

edited: i grabbed icons. i r temporarily happy.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there.

I'm having a nice one already - greeted with a card and gift, Goober didn't wet the bed, and I'm going to cut better half's hair shortly. :)

Got a trip out to the local pub for a nice lunch and then an hour or two at the play area for goober. Sounds relaxing to me; last time i was there i fell asleep! lol

Hope everyone has a wonderful sunday, and do remember to say 'Thank you' to your mum, who has given up so much for you.

There's only one baby! Exactly the same date as i had thought, 11 weeks 0 days, today. Due 19 September.

There's a wonderful article here in Wired magazine about autism. Its a PDF link, warning, danger Will Robinson.

Instead of the usual bullshittery scaremongering over the so called 'autism epidemic' and the need to not miss the window of opportunity to squander your money on bogus chelation therapies and Ritalin/Risperdal, why not just accept autistic children and adults as different?  They're NOT all "trapped in their own world" - really.

Take that, curebies.

Happy Pancake Day, people. :)

We're pigging out as we speak. I'm not giving anything up for lent except tummy button fluff, because I'm not that way inclined, religiously, but horray for the people who are.

And for those of you in Michigan, Happy Paczki Day!

gawd i miss paczkis. They are beyond heavenly.

edit: thinking about it, with the huge numbers of Poles we have immigrating here, Birmingham may soon have paczkis for Fat Tuesday as well! Yay!

Whilst in the bath tonight...
