Well finally - Pot kicked hard enough for N to feel it too last night! Only once, which was a bit disppointing - it keeps going quiet as soon as N puts his hand on my stomach, contrary little beast.
Anyway - that's the update really, but 8th May - thought it should be recorded.

20 weeks and counting
All still fine for the moment. Had 20 week scan on Tuesday this week. After trauma of getting there (took me 55 mins to do 35 min drive!), N's train broke down AND he got stuck in same traffic I did - all very stressy - scan all went fine! Pot was so cute - wriggly but all curled up, saw spine and ribs and eyes and yawns and so on - really sweet, and lovely to see s/he again. We were both less emotional about seeing it than previous times, mainly I think because of the stress of getting there, but also probably because we were more confident everything was OK because of the amnio. Though to be honest I feel guilty even saying we felt confident - I don't want to take anything for granted or get complacent about any of it.
We have planned a lovely weekend away for my birthday - we're off to Guernsey! Neither of us has been before, and we have a nice hotel with a 4 poster bed which should be quite fun. Just hope it is lovely and relaxing and a nice last break for both of us before I'm too big to want to take trips anywhere!
Bump has really started to emerge properly this week - really pleased it's finally there, I was getting a bit worried! Everyone says I should make the most of it while it's still small, but we're both so excited about it all that it's hard not to be impatient. It could still quite easily be mistaken for just one too many pies (or 100 anyway!) but shouldn't be long before it's really, properly big!
Have decided I need to blog a bit more so that I have a better record of things that Pot did while still pre- the big wide world. List below so far... Also want to keep better track of how I feel as I go along. Maybe if we're lucky enough to have a Pot number 2 some day ( or a Pan, as I call it!) then it will be good to be able to monitor any major differences.
First 3 months - sore boobs, queasy afternoons and when hungry, went off lamb and the smell of steak, went off all alcohol completely, became chocolate fiend, craved pizza, pasta, baked potatoes, milk, chocolate - nothing too weird or wonderful though! And so, so tired... mid afternoon was the worst, which fortunately seems to have worn off for the most part. Now it's more just change of routine, and walking around a lot, that really tires me out. Was in London twice this week and was just so tired by Friday - slept like a log last night but woke up nice and refreshed just before 8 - longest I've slept in weeks I think!
Back is a bit achy at the moment and lower abdomen aches and pulls a bit. Can feel POt moving around from time to time, but not as strongly as I was hoping to. Once in a while, I think I can feel it moving with my hands. N can't feel anything yet - I hope he doesn't feel too left out, it shouldn't be long! Still feeling quite tired, so probably early nights and not too much walking around are the best ideas.
So - what adventures has Pot had so far that he or she is completely unaware of...
- The Other Boleyn Girl premiere
- weekend away in Devon
- set visit to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (met Harry and Ron!)
- Iron Man premiere
- Flying twice with N
- and soon to be holiday to Guernsey
Pot liked the Iron Man premiere, kicked me loads - probably down to the deep bass and very, very loud soundtrack! But hopefully nothing too traumatic.
Anyway, BBQ tonight so must go and make salad to assuage meat-guilt!
More soon
