A poorly baby...

Last week you came down with your first sickness bug and it was horrible!

It began Thursday evening but luckily you were better again by Monday. Everything we gave you to eat and drink was coming back. We were given some dioralyte for you and this seemed to help. Unfortunately this bug is going round and me and your Dad got it too!

Your 3rd vaccinations...

Yesterday you had your third lot of vaccinations. You were as good as gold while we were there, just cried initially and I don't blame you. You had two in one go and then one last one to top you off! That evening your temperature rose to 38 degrees and you woke in the night. Thankfully that's it now until 13 months.

Your 2nd vaccinations...

Today I took you for your second lot of vaccinations. While we were waiting to be called Hannah came in with Tasmin as she was getting hers done as well.It was nice going through it together as it certainly doesn't get any easier! This was you once we were back home:

You were fine this time around. You slept quite a lot during the day and your temperature didn't make it over 37 so we were all happy! Next set are due in 4 weeks time.

Your first vaccinations...

Today is the day I've been dreading! It's the day of your very first vaccinations (well minus the vitamin K injection you had when you were born). Thankfully Daddy was able to come along as well for some moral support, you were actually sat on his knee while you had them done. There were two nurses and two huge needles, both were done in your thighs at the same time and you screamed! I felt helpless.

You didn't cry for too long but once we were home you were very out of character. You just lay on me awake and silent so we took your temperature which was a cracking 38.6, as it was over 37.5 we gave you your first dose of Calpol as you had also lost your appetite. This seemed to have worked as when we put you down to bed you slept well. Your next are in 4 weeks which lands at Christmas!

Also while we were at the doctors we bumped into a lady called Beth who we had first met at our antenatal class and then again in Tesco before you had arrived. Turns out she had her daughter on 29th as well! We were comparing notes of birth and how you both are now and they are pretty similar.

Your 4D scan...

Today you are 27 weeks and 2 days and we had booked in for a 4D scan down in Stoke on Trent. It was pretty amazing to say the least.

We were told that you are currently breach and weighing around 2Ib 9oz. The Sonographer actually believed my due date should be around 19th September instead of 25th - you must of had a growth spurt!

This was the only time I was uncomfortable with you. I believe you were sat awkwardly on a nerve in my lower back as I was in agony! Thankfully it only lasted over night.

Your 20 week scan...

Today we had your 20 week scan and we found out you are a boy! We are completely over the moon and can't wait to meet you.

I sent an email round work as well today sharing the fantastic news and some people hadn't even twigged I was pregnant!

Your 12 week scan...

The first time we saw you was on 14th March 2011 - you were 12 weeks and 1 day old and we couldn't quite believe our eyes. You were a mere 5.5cm long and were bouncing around and stretching your teeny legs and arms!

They told me my due date was 25th September 2011. I would spend hours just looking at this picture thinking... he's mine!
