oooch ouch!

oh my it bloody hurt!
So I had a manual turn of my baby today call a version.
They hook you up to IV/ heart rate monitor give you a injection to relax the uterus and then manually push the baby into the right position.
Its a mixture of feelings pressure/ stretching/ tearing sensation and plain pain, my legs were squirming all over the place, the breathing wasn't working I was holding breath and squeezing Steve hand so hard - oh dear roll on childbirth! It's more of a traumatic experience than I thought as you spend your whole pregnancy being so careful not to get bumped, knocked or elbowed even little kicks from the kids and then you have this immense pressure and movement to shift your baby - v strange.

I nearly lost the plot and then it was done baby was down it was all over, let hope it stays down now as I'm not doing it again!
Although I have to say my ob Christee is AMAZING and so bloody strong, should've known she has a hell of a handshake! she was brill and the nurses at Rose medical were great too, I felt in safe hands.

Phwew now at home, Steve ordered a take away yum and I'm now drinking a white hot chocolate double yum!  in my PJ's up in my nursery, while Steve and Gary are downstairs watching the Soccer - it's lively down there the pressure of the push for the playoffs is upon us.

Awe tooo cute! a man who cries and kisses in public ahhhh!

Ahhhhh can you believe the cuteness of this - the Spanish goalkeeper - World Cup Winners and his girlfriend who is a reported on the tour love it!

it's a wriggling...

So for a while now everyone has been saying 'are you feeling the baby move'

And of course me being a worrier, worried - should I be feeling it? the weird thing is with not knowing what its supposed to feel like, I mean its not like you don't get movement but most just feels like ( and normally is) your bowel movements, wind, wind, wind, oh the joys of pregnancy!

BUT on the 30th of May - I woke up and felt a big kick - and again and again Steve even got to feel it, it was like a really strong heartbeat, and for the last few days it has been happening in the evening and mornings - while I'm lying down - though today I have felt it on and off all morning!

Then the other day - I felt a hard something in my lower tummy and then it went away and the came back again - I think it may have been a foot - its so weird.

I think this left foot may be the culprit for all the kicks, grow strong baby as whether you're a boy or a girl your gonna need to use you feet as football is gonna be in your life!!!
