Scan, coming soon

I had my doctor's appointment with my GP yesterday and it all went well. She has a thick eastern European or Russian accent, so I find her a little hard to understand, but she seems nice. She actually went over all my blood test results with me (I don't think I've had a GP do that in any previous pregnancies), and everything looked good. My iron levels are on the low side of normal, so I imagine I will end up needing to go on iron supplements later in the pregnancy.

I got all the paperwork I need for my scan - the nuchal translucency screening one. This will be my first scan for the pregnancy, so I'll be pretty nervous going into it. Anyway, I called and my scan is booked for Thursday 9th January at 11am! Only 9 days away! I'll be 11 weeks 3 days at the time of the scan, so hopefully my dates are spot on enough that it will be the right time for the scan. If not, I guess I'll just have to have another one a bit later. Fingers and toes crossed bub is healthy and growing nicely. I am still tossing up whether to take the kids. The little man would like to and would find it pretty interesting I think, but I'm not so sure about the little miss.

Hubby and I also went mattress shopping yesterday. We had asked everyone for money to go towards buying a mattress for Christmas - so we went shopping. Ended up finding one for $999 that was over $2000, and we only had to contribute $350 of our own money, so that was good. It gets delivered next Monday, and I cannot wait. Our current mattress is so awful, I am very much looking forward to having a comfy bed.

The rest of yesterday was spent at my parent's house with my little sister. She is moving to Melbourne (well, by the time I writing this she has moved). This morning we were all out at the airport to say our goodbyes. Lots of tears - yes, even from me. I will probably have a big messy cry about it when I get a moment to myself. I'm excited for her, getting to start this whole new chapter of her life - but I am going to miss her so much, and the kids are going to miss her, and she's going to miss out on my belly growing and a lot of the new baby growing up... She'll visit plenty, but it's not the same.

Anyway, that's what has been happening. I am feeling okay so far today, but I am quite tired. Hopefully I can get a nap later.
