October




well Josh is now tube free and loving it. He went a bit mad for food for a while unsuprisingly and got tummy ache from over eating or cried when we tried to limit what he had, all quite unsuprising really! He has so much more energy, not just tired and wanting to watch telly but driving us mad with charging about! His bowels are readjusting, and is getting back to a sort of normal for him, less constipation, some diarrhea. Tummy aches are perhaps more often but nothing awful (comparitively) for a couple weeks, and no sickness either.
Kind of him to let me focus on the baby and impending birth...
baby still has low heart rate and gets weekly checks to see if it drops further but is very active (ie kicks me a lot). the repeat st georges scan was ok, no problems with the baby they can see but they recommend an ECG when its born and a discussion with the obstetrician about monitoring in labour and that they may well 'panic' if the heart rate is 100 in labour.....
i'm still tired and anaemic and low blood pressure especially in the mornings. Just 5 weeks to go though.
Obstetrician for me and blood tests for Josh in the morning, lovely!
