They're having me in for regular growth scans from now anyway because of the circumstances around my son who was stillborn at full term. He was 10lb 13 oz and had cherubic features, which is apparently typical for a diabetic mum, but I tested negative for GD the entire time. The letter from my consultant back then that's kept on my medical record advises to treat me as a diabetic mum regardless of negative tests, so that's what they are doing. To be fair though, the daddy was 6ft 7, so he was always going to be a big baby, my husband is only 6ft though, so hopefully this wee guy will be average size.
I want to try and get the nursery ready before he arrives, even though he won't be sleeping in there for a good while. I can't imagine trying to prepare it when I'm sleep deprived and looking after a newborn, especially when some of my uni assessments have been pushed back to the summer to ease the workload now for me. Plus I just like to be organised, but it means that we're having to rejig our own room before tackling the nursery, we seem to have a LOT of "stuff". Mother-in-law is helping though, she lives with us and has time off work soon, so hoping to get the decorating done then so we can get the furniture. We'll get there!
