Hiya folks,
I had an ultrasound scan today, blood taken, and the right side of my nose cauterised. Not standard probably, but I've had a nosebleed nearly every day since May, and they are worried that I'm losing blood every day in this way - was recently very anemic and am just now on the "normal" side of iron and hemoglobin levels, and in the home stretch now, so....
Anyway, baby is fine and in a good head-down position, but rather cramped in there. Not much room to move anymore! Baby is right on the line for the 50th centile, which is good, because everyone is telling me how enormous I look and I don't want to have a giant baby actually! 3 more antenatal classes to go and then we'll be done with that.
Have I mentioned we have the builders in? As well as plumbers, electricians and plasterers? Yes, and they were all in at once today. I was glad to escape to the hospital actually, considering there was no hot water, electricity or a functioning kitchen (for the 4th day in a row for that last one). However, we came home to a newly re-enameled bath which looks smashing and we shall be trying it out tomorrow night. There is so much work to be done on this house, and I am sure hoping they can get it done before Christmas, so we can get the new carpetting, painting and wallpapering done before January 12th, 2010.... not that there is a deadline approaching or anything. Oh, for a house without builders' dust!
