hospital

Back to hospital yesterday for my monthly check up. had to argue with a new nurse to get her to take blood as she said it wasn't quite a month!!! it was three days short!!!! now im not normally one to volunteer for a needle, however, having had time off work to make the appointment i would not have been happy to have to repeat in 3 days. Eventually she gave in, realising that she'd been looking at the processing date, not the date the blood was taken. good news though as my titre levels are still under 2, however they had now discovered anti C in my blood.
Having had the blood taken i went back to the waiting room again to wait to see the consultant. i say consultant, haven't ever actually met him as it's usually a registrar, and today was no different. noticing the emptiness of the waiting room and the fact that there were only two other expectant mothers there i sat smuggly thinking that today, i may not actually be in hospital that long. However, 1 hour and 20 mins later i finally got to meet the registrar who was very nice, quickly listened to the heartbeat, said everything sounded fine, and booked me for another ultrasound as she wants to check that the antibodies aren't hindering Autumn/Emilia's growth, so back up we shall go on the 19th, but we do get to see our little princess again. Apparently she is going to gain a pound in weight this week which seems mammoth considering she only weighs a pound!! and may be a contributing factor to my extreme tiredness, which seems to have returned. never mind, all in a  good cause.
ps she is getting very strong now, can almost feel myself getting swayed when she kicks!!! she also has a preference to which side i sleep on and repeatedly kicks me if i dare to differ!! typical girl!
