12 week check up

Yesterday morning we had our 12 week (well 11 and a bit weeks really) checkup and all was normal. We couldn't see that much on the ultrasound although you could see enough to know what was going on. The head was apparently normal sized and the baby had little arms and legs etc - I swear the baby waved at one point! It wriggle around a bit too which was pretty bizarre to watch.

We were both relieved to see the baby was doing well. Meeks occasionally feels like a bit of a fraud because she is so asymptomatic. Aside from tiredness she hasn't really had any other changes. Tiredness is hardly new though. She has always been one of the world's great sleepers - able to sleep anywhere, anytime.

On a slightly related note, they showed a caesarian on RPA last night. I used to be pretty squeamish about watching operations, but seem to have got over it. It was amazing to watch the doctor pulling this baby out of this woman. We may or may not have to go with a caesarian depending on a number of factors related to Meeks' diabetes, but I think, for me anyway, it will help to have watched this show.

So all is going well!
