Another baby dream last night. I hope I don't get one of these a night for the next nine months, as they're very vivid and as I said yesterday, you have this gut wrenching feeling when you realise you were dreaming.
We've also found out that they don't do 12 week scans in Hampshire, which is often when you tell the world about the pregnancy and get to show off pictures. It's also the time when the risk of miscarriage substantially reduces. In my head that was a major milestone and I was really looking forward to it, and of course seeing Pip for the first time.
That isn't going to happen now, but we can get a device that allows you to listen to the baby's heart, which scientific research say as long as you only use it a couple of times a week it is fine. One of our friends used one as well. That will be a relief and take a lot of weight off my shoulders.
Today I was really miserable at work, it was really hard to focus. I think the reason is because all this is really on my mind. We're five weeks in now, and it feels like an awfully long time until 12 weeks. We've only actually known for about one and a half of those five weeks, and that feels like ages ago now. I wish that I could just jump to 12 weeks.
