baby stuff

So i went to the doctor this morning, and he confirmed that i am pregnant. From my dates, he reckons i will be due about 8th September but that could be amended once i start being scanned and stuff (like it did last time). i told him that the line on the pregnancy test was a lot stronger than last time with Poppy even though i did the test at the same point in my cycle, and he said that shows this baby is eager to come because it prolly means that i ovulated earlier in my cycle and the baby settled into the womb earlier too :)

He took some blood and some urine for tests, and i have an appointment to go back and see him in 2 weeks' time. Everything else looked fine today - my blood pressure and all the other checks that he did were 'good' apparently. He is going to be keeping a close eye on my thyroxine and iron levels because both of them got low last time, but now we know to watch for them he says we should be able to catch it earlier this time. He has started me on a prenatal vitamin to be taken everyday like last time, and given me some sheets on dietary needs, but to be honest Sir was so good at working out meal plans for me last time that i think i'll just go with His advice again.

So far i'm feeling really good. Sir has already started rubbing bio-oil into my bewbies, though they're not really growing yet just getting sensitive and achy. And He has plenty to rub into my belly bump once that starts expanding! i'm really looking forward to this pregnancy, but a little bit apprehensive too about how Poppy will react, and whether i'll be able to manage her and the new baby. But we'll deal with that when we come to it. Sir and i need to discuss arrangements for when Poppy goes full-time at nursery, when and how we tell her about her new brother/sister, when we move her into the other bedroom, etc. But for now we are just enjoying the news and letting it sink in. We have told our families though, and will be letting our friends and work colleagues know the good news when we see them after the Christmas holidays.

Oh, and we've got a shortlist of 3 names for each sex: Alfie, Finn or William for a boy, and Annie, Kaitlyn or Jasmine for a girl. And i've decided not to keep a separate baby blog like i did last time, all baby news will be put onto this blog so sorry if you're not interested in that stuff. i just figured that like the pictures at the top show, this blog is about all aspects of my life so i should be able to write about whatever i like here - family stuff, D/s stuff, baby stuff, health stuff, work stuff, everything :) Oh, and it's not too late to leave me a voice message using the gadget in my sidebar - i'd love to hear from you!
