Today i had an appointment with my OB. Just a regular monthly check up. We listened to Frostys heart beat using a doppler machine. It was pretty faint but regular and my doctor assured me this is normal and will get louder once the baby grows more. She also did a tape measurement of the height of my uterus, i think it was fine as she didn't say anything.
In two weeks i have to get my final screening bloods done. Then they will give me the break down of the Downs and Trisomy ratios. Currently we are at 1:780 for Downs which is really low risk and 1:42000 for Trisomy which is incredibly low risk.
Unfortunatly my Cystic Fybrosis test came back that i am a carrier so Richard has to go and have a test now. If one parent carries it there is a 1% chance the baby will be a carrier, if both parents carry it then there is a 25% chance of the baby having CF 50% of being a carrier and 25% of having either.
My doctor also referred me to a dermatologist to see if we can get on top of my eczema problems and help my immune system recover a bit. I have this appointment in the morning.
My next baby appointment is on the 22nd December. This is an ultrasound appointment as well so we can see how everything looks and whether frosty is a boy or a girl. I have chosen this date also so my mum and dad can come if they would like also.
So just for me i just need to stay positive with all my immune ailments and keep soldiering on, like i keep being reminded, it will be worth it in the end!

12 weeks
Well what can i tell you, this 12th week has been fabulous. When you read everywhere that the fog lifts at this time its absoutley right. I've felt great this week and have had the most energy in weeks.
Unfortunatly the leg is slowing me down and it's getting a little frustrating. I'm also feeling the effects of no exercise now and have probably put on a few too many cake and chocolate pounds than i should have!!
We had our 12 week Nuchel scan on Monday which was really quite amazing. Frosty actually looks human now and did a great breakdancing impression along with lots of waving.
Here are the latest pictures
