Hello All,
It’s been a busy week this week. I had Monday off work as I had a private horse riding lesson. It was nice to ride on my own and really helped my legs.
We then had our 20 week scan. Everything is fine with our baby. He was a bit naughty though and was quite happy to move his legs and arms but refused to change positions to allow the lady scanning him to view his spine. She was doing a thorough check for lesions and curvature (well she was trying to anyway). I had to go to the toilet to see if moving from bed to chair etc would make him move. He still refused so the lady had to get a more senior radiologist to come in and  check his lumber spine. They were both happy with everything and his growth is bang on track except for his long legs which I think he gets from his Daddy and Grandad Billy.
Whilst I was there I also had the hooping cough vaccine. I have had a sore, swollen arm all week which is normal but annoying when you use your arms  for moving around.
The dressage competition went well today. Lisa the pony was a good girl considering it was her first competition. She stopped when asked and I was pleased with my score. It was such a beautiful sunny day.
Still battling to find a carer. We have a new recruitment agency helping us now and they are really good. We have a few possibilities  to follow up so fingers crossed.
As I am sat here writing this, the baby is kicking away, such a lovely feeling but it’s a shame he stops as soon as someone else tries to feel.
My new bath cushion arrived so bath time will be much easier now. Someone from my work is also coming around tomorrow to set up a more suitable work station. I get neck pain when I lean over my laptop for long periods so want to ensure I have a better posture when I work from home more frequently as the pregnancy progresses.
Anyway, I will blog again soon but please share and feel free to ask me any questions.
