The 'nub theory'

My sister-in-law introduced me to the nub theory, where the angle of the nub in your 12 week scan could tell you whether you're having a boy or a girl.

It seems a little too good to be true though and even after staring at my scan pic for ridiculous lengths of time, I'm still not sure!

Here's the website explaining it all:

Have a read, then tell me what you think my little squid is gonna be! Maybe you'll be better at it than I am.

13 Weeks

I've been ill the last week thanks to my darling son.

He got ill right before the half term and then me and his Dad get ill for his week off! We still managed to do something everyday bar one though so he didn't miss out on the fun things.



So, even though I've had the scan now, I'm still bricking it. I remember all the feelings and pains and whatnot from my last pregnancy and I'm getting them this time too but, I just feel so much more worried about everything! It's not stopped me from buying baby gear mind. (though boyf has put a limit on the spendage!)
I'm planning to buy little and often to spread all the payments out over the next 6 months.

I feel better in myself though. Not so tired, not so ill....still no energy but then again, I'm pretty lazy when I'm NOT pregnant so not much has changed there.



All in all, i'm taking it bloody easy and eating a lot of BLT's.

12 Week Dating Scan

So!

I had my 12 week scan today! Everything is fine in there, baby growing perfectly though was being a bit of a cheeky bugger and couldn't get into a good position for the sonographer.

Still managed to get a good picture though.
Now I just have to try not to freak out about labour!

Back to being me

Well I'm around 12-13 weeks now.

Scan is next week, and I'm finally beginning to feel a bit more normal. I'm not so tired (though both my boys have been ill this week so I'm tired from that!) and I didn't really have any other complaints. It's thankfully been quite uneventful.

The only thing I've been left with now is a podgey belly. It's that awful stage when people who don't know the secret just think I've eaten too many pies-which is kind of true but I've only gained a couple pound really.

I'm getting a bit more hopeful now that I'm nearing the end of the first trimester, mainly because I've had none of the symptoms I had last time from my partial molar pregnancy in the summer.
I felt VERY sick last time and ended up losing half a stone because I couldn't eat and I was too tired to do anything. Of course I'll still expect the worst come the day of my scan but I am being cheeky and I'm on the lookout for cute baby things! Better to start early so the mister doesn't realise how much I'm spending.

Mwahahahaa

Hopefully my next update will contain belly pics. Wish me luck
