Hormones

seem to be getting the better of me. i am bursting into tears uncontrollably at the smallest thing on an almost daily basis at the moment. What is that all about? Certainly made the IT chappie who has been so rotten to me feel guilty today though! Let's hope stuff gets resolved on the back of it! But bus drivers who chuck me off buses for no apparent reason (my pre-pay card didnt appear to work although it had plenty of money on it) into the snow (we are still having lots of snow here- even in central London at the moment!) make me cry too. Hopefully the weekend will be tear- free!

Yesterday I had a mid-wife appointment. All seems fine. She says it is growing nicely- will apparently be a nice sized baby although not too big! and i heard the heartbeat again which is truly amazing. It is just wonderful. Simon hasnt heard it yet but will definitely be there for the next appointment despite them being fairly routine just to hear how magical it is. I have to make a reasonably tough decision though because my blood group is rhesus negative. They have decided to start offering injections to all pregnant women at 28 and 34 weeks but it is essentially a blood product from someone else in case this baby is positive (likely to be as Simon is) and its blood comes into contact with mine for whatever reason- this would make me likely to reject the next baby shouldi get pregnant again as i wouldh ave built up antibodies against it. The thing is it seems quite risky to have someone else's blood injected into me when pregnant so i dont think i am going to do it. i'll have the one after i've given birth and they have established that the baby is definitely positive. But of course since it is now being nationally recommended you are kind of out there on your own if you decide not to have the injections. ahhh. why is nothign simple? i only want the best for my baby- think i would rather wait til the baby isnt inside me any more as then it is only me that is being put at risk by having someone else's blood put inside of me.

Anyway we are off to chester for a week after today so v unlikely to blog. I will try to if i can but no promises at all.

I lost my two ebay auctions by the way! someone pipped me to the post in literally the last minute on both of them- seems i have a long way to go to become a proficient ebayer!
