Had 25 week midwife appt this morning and all seemed to go well. Blood pressure seems to have dropped a tiny bit but she didn't even comment on that so presume it's fine. She measured Pot's bump and it was 23cm - they do it vertically, from just above to just below. I didn't realise that before, I hadn't been sure how they would measure. But now I know! It's just a tiny bit below the middle of the average section of where it should be at this stage, which I was very pleased about. Obviously all the chocolate hasn't had too big an impact!
Everything else is poddling along - L has left work now and sounds blissfully happy - I can't wait until that's us! Won't be too long I know, 8 weeks today, but does feel like a long time. Still, time seems to be going ridiculously fast at the moment so really should just relax and enjoy it all and no start wishing my life away.
We get our new car tomorrow so that should be fun. Have to dig out all the documentation so this will be a short post - for me, anyway.
Feeling ridiculously excited about Pot...

Bigger and Better!
The bump is now a good size - recognisable as a pregnant bump as opposed to a too-much-cake-and-pie type bump. Can feel lots of wriggling and kicking, and we can both see the bump moving now when Pot kicks. Allegedly N might be able to hear a heartbeat any time from now on, though nothing yet - only really tried a couple of times though.
Bank holiday was productive - we had the "paternal" side of the family to stay, and N and his brother and dad did the whole floor of the flat which looks fantastic. His mum and I had a much more relaxing time of it, shopping, reading, chatting, baking cakes, lazing about, watching films - lovely. Nice short week at work too, and had kitchen survey on Tuesday. Price seems to have gone up a lot, which is annoying as we haven't really changed anything from our original spec, so I don't know where the extra £4K has come from! N investigates...
Meanwhile, I only have 9 weeks more of work to go! Am very excited about finishing. L finished on Friday so will miss the e-mailing, but am sure she'll keep me posted. Spider is due in just 6 weeks - unbelievable! Strange how time for her seems to have gone so fast and yet for me it feels like it's inching past. Then again, nearly at 25 weeks, so the appointments get a lot more regular from here on in, which I think is quite reassuring. I think it's 25 weeks, 28 weeks and then every 2 weeks after that. Have registered on a local NCT course so that should be quite fun - not looking forward to the videos, but will be nice to meet new people and learn a bit more about Pot. Bit nervous about the actual birth bit, but will all be worth it when we get to bring little Pot home... just amazing.
Anyway, have a friend from my Disney days coming over for lunch so had better go and tidy the place up a bit. That whole nesting instinct thing isn't really kicking in, though I would like to make it a lot tidier and am getting more annoyed with mess generally. Shame I can't be bothered to do anything about it really eh?!
More soon
