Oh yeah baby

So today was mucho better-o.
I was at a childrens centre with the community midwives and I got to see what happens, When Where and Why. I got to label bloods, and I nearly took blood but there wasnt another woman who needed her blood taking so that was a moo point.

The girls who were 'teaching' me were so nice and welcoming unlike that bitch face from last week. The only crap bits were having to be there at 8am and it being too cold in the office that I downed 3 cups of tea and a watery hot chocolate (ick).
But its so amazing, hearing the heartbeat, feeling the belly, watching it move. It makes me realise how I didnt pay much attention to when I was knocked up. I don't really remember itching much or having sharp shooting pains. Most of the first time mums that came through today had so many questions, whereas me...well I think I was still in denial until he was plonked on my chest 40 weeks later.
*Note to self - pay more attention if and when you get preggers again*
The people that come through there are so different. Some came with partners, some alone and some with babies.One woman was on her 6th child, I was envious hehehe.

My mind did wonder a few times though. Because Ive been sexless since March I was wondering how some of these women got knocked up in the first place. Some looked so timid and one woman was as hairy as a yeti (gave me hope, if hairy Mary can get some action, it cant be long for me!!)

I'm looking forward to what tomorrow brings and hopefully I'll get to take some blood too...Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
