Flying high :)

I was supposed to have an appointment with Heather (midwife) on Tuesday. But me being as ditsy as i am ( though i make take the opportunity to blame it on the 'baby brain') , i had written down 15th April, instead of March. It threw me off a bit, because it was a lot earlier than i would have normally had an appointment with her, but now i remember that's because she hadn't seen me since my scan, and wanted to go through all the details of it.
I felt so bad that id missed it, especially when i received a text from heather, asking if i was OK. She contacted me yesterday, luckily just as i was going to the loo at work, so i heard my phone in my locker. She said she'd got a spare appointment for 12pm, in Warsop. I thought it was unlikely that i would be able to make it, as we were short on staff, but knew it could be a couple of weeks before my next opportunity to go. So i rang down and asked Shawna. We made the decision that i could probably make it there and back using my dinner hour. I rang Adam, but he couldn't get out of work, he told me to go without me. As soon as id agreed to it, i started getting really nervous, trying to figure out bus times, and getting less and less confident that i would have time to get there, have my appointment and get back, in an hour.
So i gave my angel of a mother a call to see if she could be taxi driver and accompanist, i thought she might enjoy the experience too, as she's not been to any of my appointments yet. She came to pick me up at 11:45 with a packed lunch in tow (told you she was an angel), So i ate my sandwiches in the car on the way there.
When we got there i went and checked in on the computer at the front desk, and asked for a little pot to wee in. I did my sample and sat down next to mum.
It got to 12:10 and i was a getting really nervous, knowing that i had to be back at work in 35 minutes. She called us in at about 12:12.
We did the usual, blood pressure and asking/answering questions, and she asked for details of the scan etc, I told her id felt little movements and made notes. Then finally, she asked for us to listen to the baby. I was even more excited knowing that mum would hear it for the first time,so i lifted my top up and practically dived onto the bed. She commented on my bump, and but the jelly on my tummy. As soon as she put the Doppler on my tummy we could hear little wriggles. Then she pressed in one area and i felt a movement really hard, she said she could even feel it under the Doppler! Must be a strong little Button! Mum was grinning at me, and we heard the little thud thud thud of buttons heartbeat.
Once we'd done that, and asked a few more questions, Heather fetched a doctor in, who prescribed me with some ointment for my eczema.

Me and mum did our usual Wednesday night routine of Aqua aerobics last night, and my cousin Crystal came with us, which was nice. It was really strange, i could feel button so clearly under the water. We had to do side steps the length of the pool. Every single time i went to the left, button wriggled like mad, they must be able to feel the water pushing against them or something. It was really nice, i kept giggling to myself. The instructor said Baby will come out swimming. :)
