Here I am

Well I think we are up for a new computer. It crashed again and has taken us this long just to get an internet connection, let alone use of excel, word and email, which we are currently too scared to set up. We thought we had it fixed Sunday but it crashed after an hour (while Pete was installing everything). So yesterday he tried a different version of Windows and it stayed on for 6 hours and then crashed again while he was installing again. This morning I fiddled a bit and got just the internet working so am taking full advantage.

So from where I last left you, I managed 3 decent 30-45min walks that week and was most disappointed last Monday when I had actually gained 1.2kg for the week. Didn't do any exercise last week and yesterday discovered I lost 200g, go figure!. Spent last week trying to get the computer working, cleaning and getting Bethany's birthday sorted. We didn't have a party this year, just had family around. My little girl turned 4 on Saturday and she seems so grown up now. Have just tried to upload photos but it seems my computer doesn't want me to, so will do so as soon as I can.

Last Friday while drifting off to sleep I finally started feeling decent kicks from bubs. So hard I could feel them with my hand. Since them I feel them daily and it feels so good. We went for our scan yesterday and I must say I was quite upset and disappointed. We picked Bethany up early from school as we promised her she could come. When the ultrasound lady come in she said "you should have been told kids aren't allowed as I have to fully concentrate and can't be distracted". So Pete had to take her out. He was upset and angry, I could see it on his face. Bethany cried. She said she would come and get them at the end so she could quickly show them stuff. I turned my head from her and cried through the whole scan. The whole time I was in there she didn't say a word to me, didn't tell me what she was looking at or what was on the screen or anything. Then after about 20 mins she told me I could go and half empty my bladder. When I came back, Pete and Bethany were in there. She showed us the face, told us the heartrate and that all the measurements were good and bubs was growning the was it should be and then asked us if we wanted to know the sex. We said if she could tell. Just as she was about to tell us she said "hold on a sec. OK throughout the whole scan I would have said a girl as I didn't see anything but I have just seen a bulge. But there is nothing else. It is common for girls at this stage to have a bulge and because I can't see anything else, I would say its a girl".

So there you go. We're still not 100%. Again. The same thing happened with Bethany. I was determined I was having a boy as in the last month I have had 3 people I know (including Kate)have girls, Karen and Carla are both expecting girls a week before me, Nadia, who is due the day after me is expecting a girl and another lady who is due a week or so before me is expecting twin girls. So that is 8 girls. I thought there was no way I could be having one too, but we'll wait and see.

I have been around to all your journals this morning and caught up with each and every one of you, eventhough I haven't left comments, as I do not know how long this computer will keep going and just wanted to update you all, just incase I disappear again. If we do lose it again, I will try and find somewhere to go to keep in touch.
