I don't know why I've been so bad keeping this journal up lately. :(

Lot has happened since I wrote in here last. Most importantly, on Friday we had our second scan. I was so scared – I couldn't eat properly all morning. Thankfully we didn't have to wait very long once we arrived – along they kept asking us why we had been booked in for a 10 week scan and not 12 – like we're supposed to know! I mean, we went at 6 weeks and then they gave us another scan date at 10. I don't know why! Plus the nurse taking all the information before we went in was going, hmmm, this form wasn't filled in correctly last time, I didn't do it did I? and she bloody did. It doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that she's so thick so doesn't remember what she did or recognise her own handwriting.

But the scan itself? It was wonderful. :) Little Dave was there, heart pumping away and kicking his legs and waving his arms about! It was incredible! (I'm taking his photo into work with me tomorrow to get in scanned and then I'll post it here).We're both really relieved. Also, we were told that he looked 10+5 not 10+1 as we'd thought, so it looks like our due date has been moved to 26th July. It's a shame we're no longer due on our anniversary, but it does mean that I'm starting my 12th week now four days early, so that can only be a good thing. I just want the next two weeks to go well now. *crosses everything*

Other than that, we haven't done too much. Been playing Luigi's Mansion which has been really fun lol, and watching loads of films for some reason. Went to town yesterday to pick up my freebie Mother-To-Be packs, and bought a pair of maternity trousers from H&M. The idea was to try and find some stuff in the sales, but there was very little around unfortunately. Took Dave's pic to our parents but, to be honest, no-one seems as interested in it as M and I. :) I think I'm becoming a complete baby bore now – hopefully things will be better when I get back to work.

Dreading going back to work though. :(

Oh well. Think it's time to start taking those Christmas decorations down again. God, it goes by so quickly. :(

Bored.

M's gone back to work and I'm here in front of my PC. Bored bored bored. I had meant to clean up the house a bit today, but really can't be arsed.

Got scan tomorrow. Soooooooooo excited. I know I shouldn't be cos part of me won't believe that I'll carry it to full term, but I start my eleventh week today – the baby is developing all the little details like hair and fingernails this week. It's incredible. We're both very enthusiastic. I just want to get past 8th Jan, that's all. :(

Will write more when something interesting happens in my life. :p

Happy New Year!

There must be 1000s of “Happy New Year” entries happening right now – from 1000s of people promising themselves that they'll keep an journal this year, as well as giving up smoking, drinking, will do more exercise etc. etc. etc. As a rule, NY resolutions don't stick for me, but this is what I propose:

* Eat more heathily, for me and the baby;
* Walk places more. I'm desperately lazy and always take the car, but I'm going to attempt to walk places;
* Be tidier. Particularly with the spare bedrooms!
* Work harder. I've been a bit of a slacker lately.
* Be more disciplined with my writing. I must get this bloody novel finished.
* Um . . . That's probably it.

So there you go. I bet I'll have broken most of em by Friday, but as always, just making resolutions makes me feel kinda good. :p
Not much planned today – just like last night (Stayed in with M, watched Mothman Prophecies, Vanilla Sky (both great films) and did nothing – it was lovely). Going to my parents for lunch today, then presumably M's parents, and then back home. M's in work tomorrow. :(

And may I take this opportunity to give the finger and swear horrendously at 2002. 1999 was a terrible year, but nothing compared to 2002. A complete cunt (scuse me) of a year, I'm glad to see the fucking back of it. And I pray to God that the start of 2003 doesn't echo the start of 2002.

Right. Bored now. Think I'll go and do me some tea and toast. I think this is the earliest I've ever been up on NY Day. :p

Happy New Year, all my journal/MSN/SHF friends!! :D *hugs*

The Day with Girl Gamers Suck (6)

Introducing my latest project – girlgamerssuck.com.
You know me. I like games. I often don’t have time to play as much as I would like – and when I do play, I’m often kinda crap – but I’ve grown up with gaming and I love it. It’s part of my childhood, part of my life and [...]

The Day I was Ill. Again (2)

Ugh. I’m ill again.
I think I recall crowing last year that I managed to miss most of the flu/coldy things floating about. My Fate God heard me, laughed outrageously, and has been making me pay ever since. Bastard. It feels like I’ve spent the last three months coughing and spluttering. I wouldn’t mind, but the [...]
