It was winter again last night. I looked out some time mid-evening and it was snowing quite persistently, but such small flakes that it wasn’t making any real inroads into covering the place. But, you know how it is when you’re a kid, if it’s snowing you’ve just gotta keep checking in case the mother […]
A good fall of snow for the capital. The best that I can remember since moving here, in fact.
The first bit of good news is that at her last midwife visit, Debs was told that she will be getting further additional monitoring because of her greatly advanced years. As well as the 12 week dating scan and the 18 week anomaly scan she will receive further growth monitoring ultrasound scans at 28 and
After waiting since I was seven years old, when the snow was up to my neck and we had to run home lest we be buried in the blizzard, we’ve finally had a proper winter day again, yay! Britain has been buckling under the strain of up to 150mm (6″ in old money) of snow

Doglet had a second trip to the vet today, for what I thought was to be an x-ray appointment. Because I was working in Glasgow today, Mark high tailed it out of the office a little earlier to take her in for the appointment.
So there I was lying awake for a few minutes at around 4:00 a.m. this morning when I felt two tingly pokes in succession in my womb. Up until now there have been frequent daily swishy, wavy sensations, but this was distinctly different. We’re heading into the ‘quickening’ phase of development when wavy feelings and
After the stress of the last few days, since our first and disappointing midwife appointment, we got into the system the right way today. After a couple of failed attempts to interact with the system directly, we got the number of the community midwife team. This turned out to be in the shape of a
Energy: Debs is doing great. She’s a lot more energetic now that she’s in the second trimester. The uncharacteristic afternoon naps have passed (mostly ;-)) with generally higher energy levels. The bump is progressing nicely too. It’s really pretty noticeable now, but still quite well hidden under a baggy top. If you’re superstitious about the
