Seriously, I need to find that money tree.... who knew baby things could be so expensive??
*Shock HORROR*
I wish the the R70k that we spent on fertility treatments could just magically appear in my bank account. I could have a ball with that!
Ever since I ordered the cot and compactum, my head has been spinning planning the nursery. I've got paint colours in mind but I want to get the linen sorted so that the paint matches with the linen (Yes, I'm a bit anal when it comes to decorating!)
So today I set out looking for the linen and fell in LOVE with this set:
It's called "On the Move" and it's from the Gemsquash Designs collection.
Now the problem... It's about R3K for everything that I want (
want not need hehe) then I still need to get curtains, a rocking chair and a lot of other things. But it's sooooo pretty and goes so well with the colours I have planned. Eeeek... what to do, what to do??
On the pregnancy front things are going great :) We had our 16 week scan last Thursday and that went well. Peanut now weighs 147grams, he almost doubled his weight in 3 weeks! He is growing well and as busy as ever. Can't wait to start feeling the kicks!
Peanut at 16 weeks
Our next appointment is on April Fools day (20 weeks) and it will be our first appointment with the doc that will be delivering Peanut. I'm a bit nervous but I've only heard great things about this Doctor so pretty sure all will be just fine.
On the medical front all is well too. I'm feeling great except for the increasing tiredness, some days are so bad that I barely want to get out of bed and other days are fine. I just hope it's not going to get much worse.
I had to visit the dentist about a week ago too.... I had a Root Canal about a week before we did our FET and all of a sudden this tooth started acting up. I was convinced that the Dentist was going to want to redo the Root Canal without any anaesthetic but much to my delight she just checked it out and said all is fine.
Today I had to pop to the GP to have a few moles (8!) removed from my (ever growing) belly. They have never really bugged me before but they seem to have reacted to the pregnancy hormones and grew a bit bigger, I even managed to scratch one off yesterday, hence the reason for my GP visit today. Anyway... it wasn't bad at all and I'm even contemplating going back and having some more removed...I swear it's addictive LOL
Oh and lastly... BOY, have we been struggling with names for this Peanut!!! I've always had my favourite girl's names but never really gave boys names much thought. It's proving to be quite difficult finding something that goes with our surname, without it being too Afrikaans or too English. I had 2 favourites (Liehan or Liam) but DH doesn't like it at all because it sounds too much like my nephew's name (Kian) So those have been scratched from the list. The other choice was Zac but because my MIL and SIL's names are both Zachary (the Afrikaans version!!) my parents were convinced that Zac was short for MIL's name and thus don't like it either. Eish!! So there is one choice left that DH absolutely loves but I'm still on the fence about it... it is starting to grow on me so we shall see!
