Yes, from now on on Fridays between 11am-2pm I am going to sit very still in a room with no windows and not move. LOL. Apparently peeing and eating a sandwich are both dangerous for me in those hours! Also, on the way to the scan DH drove the wrong way up a one-way street. Cursed!
Alright, I am determined not to have GD with this baby, no matter what. He or she has been 5 YEARS in the making - so it's just not important. I chose names yesterday, and themes, so no matter what it'll be awesome.
So, if it's a boy: Andrew David and the theme will be Baby Mickey and Friends. (I love Disney so much!)
If it's a girl: Emily Anne, the theme will be butterflies with soft pink and vintage grey as the colours.
Both middle names are after my inlaws. So now I'm pretty darned thrilled about having either.

Update: had my anatomy scan today! It went well, everything went fine as far as I could tell. Today is 19+3, and they confirmed that baby is A GIRL!
Of course with scans there's still a chance they could be wrong, but I should be far enough along to feel pretty safe with that.
Still spotting off and on, annoying as heck, but it's probably cervical at this point. The placenta is now 3cm away from the os so still a tad low but it is moving in the right direction.

XX - not sure, I will ask the GP. They couldn't get a measurement of the cervical length from the ab scan today so with all the spotting still an issue I want to have another check of the cervix in the next little while. I will ask the GP to get another transvag scan though.
I assume that I will get another check of the placenta later on no matter what, 3cm isn't previa but it's borderline. I guess it'll depend on the OB, I start seeing the OB at 28w (yeah it's super late, but that's the standard of care here.)

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
