I am just past the 13 week mark. It's all looking good so far. I will be due my 20 week scan in just over a month, which will be nice, especially for my husband, as he hadn't seen the earlier scan. Although we were with the midwife yesterday and he heard the heartbeat, which is good and strong.
I do have to have a whole load of blood tests, this was just a precaution, however we have recently discovered that my sister has a Protein C and S deficiency. This is very unusual, you usually have one or the other, so once I told the mid wife, she was very insistent that I get checked. No big deal, but it's probably best that I know one way of the other. I will probably leave it til the day I have the scan, as it's all in the same place, so if I have anything to report I will let you all know.
It's all kinda weird, as I have wanted to call my mom the whole time, and I did call my dad of course, but it's not the same thing at all. However I'll just have to find someone new to call, and share all the excitement with.

12.5 weeks, but now coping with a bereavement
I havn't posted many entries over the last while.
I lost my mom a few weeks ago, and although I live in holland, I am Irish
and returned to Ireland for 3 weeks.
I have to tell you, my pregnancy is progressing fine. I was checked out by our
family doctor, and had a scan, and have been told that everything is fine, and that
the stress of my bereavement, thus far, has had no effect on the baby. As you can imagine this is a relief.
Now the birth of my child is going to be a bitter sweet event. I am looking forward to meeting him or her (I don't want to know if it's a boy or a girl until he/she is born) but I am sorry my mom won't be here. On the birth of my first child she visited me here in holland for 5 weeks, and was going to do the same thing again, and I am going to miss her input, her help, well I am just going to miss her.
I hope all goes well with this pregnancy, and proceeds as it all should go, as usual, if I have anything to report, I will let you all know xxx
