Everything seems to be going well with the pregnancy; Buggy's heartrate is at about 150bpm now, and I'm starting to feel movement and kicking in there every once in a while.
My next midwife appointment is in 3 weeks time.
I have to say that I'm enjoying the 'midwife' experience. They tend to take a lot of time with us; most importantly, I think they realize how fucked up in the heads Mr. Buggy and I are about this whole pregnancy thing actually happening, and seem to be really reassuring about everything that comes up.
I've lost a bit of weight from my last appointment, but I'm betting on the fact that because the weather's gotten much cooler, I'm not retaining as much water anymore. So far I have a total weight gain of 4 and 1/2lbs, which they say is really good so far.
They discussed prenatal classes with us, which are free here in our community. We'll probably start those in October/November some time.
I have an anatomy ultrasound scheduled at the end of the month; by then I'll be just about 19 weeks along. That, I'm looking forward to. I just want to see her, alive and well, measuring normally, organs functioning, moving around in there. Please, just let her be ok.

thank you so much for your comment over on my guest post at cup of jo. I think you are amazing. you are so brave to put it all out there like this. I was never able to and even now I'm shocked that I was able to write a story and actually publish it. when I read your comment I understood and lived every single word you said. I'm thinking about you and your Buggy and sending you many, many positive vibes and good energy from across the pond. x
I just came across your blog and wanted to say congrats and I will be following your pregnancy journey! The 20 week ultrasound is amazing! Keep us updated!
