Thank you all for your lovely comments after my somewhat excitable blog last night!
I rang David right after I'd written that, and he was as excited as I was, but I could sense a little air of disappointment too, although he did a (somewhat crap) job if hiding it. He wishes he'd been here when it happened. He's never said it outright but I know he feels like he's missing out on this. His sense of duty and protective streak (just a couple of the old fashioned traits he has that I love!) are kicking in. He feels he should be taking care of me, and keeping me safe.
I lay awake in bed all night thinking about that and thinking what I could do about it and this morning I made some arrangements.
My next scan is due on 18th April and I called them up and asked if I could have it done at the hospital in Newcastle. After all, that is where the baby will be born, so I will be transfered there soon enough. They said yeah, they can share the info with Newcastle now, and I can have my second scan there.
So not only am I gonna be surprising him on the 10th, to stay for a week, but on the 15th we will get to find out the sex of the baby together.
I've been thinking about when I move up there too. My college course officially finishes at the end of June and I was gonna move up in July, but there's no reason why I shouldn't be sorting things out now to be ready to go as soon as college is out. I am so ready and I dont want July, August and September to be a mad scramble where I all but go mental. I want to be settled before our baby is born, I want us to be together, sooner rather than later, and I want David with me for the final stretch of the pregnancy. In the meantime, we will just see each other as much as possible.
As for sprog...after s/he had kicked me once last night, and I reacted like a mad woman, s/he seemed to think that meant I liked it, and did it for the rest of the night!
It is a truly awesome feeling that I so wish I could put into words. Those of you with kids will understand. I feel such a powerful bond, and so protective of my bump.
I cant wait to feel Davids arms around me and his hands on that bump, getting to know our baby.
Til later...be well and happy Sunday xxx
peace and love

Hi Badlydrawnstickman!
No, I'm not gonna name him/her sprog hehe. Although yes, that would be kinda cool, but not sure s/he would make it through school in one piece with a name like that!
If its a boy, David gets to name it and he will be called Stanley (Stan) Peter after his and my dads. If its a girl...I get to decide. But as yet I have no idea on names...any suggestions??
Thanks for stopping by xxx

Wow, I really like those names and I know what you mean...some foreign names just seem to flow so much nicer. And its funny also, cause I was toying with the name 'Anna'...its just lovely and simple.
Thanks...if you think of any more, feel free to let me know xxx :-) xxx

My dad's name was Greek (Peter) meaning 'stone' or 'strength' also...and mine is Heidi, which comes from a German name, Adelheide, meaning 'battle maid', which always made me giggle. I was, actually, as my mum confessed a couple of years ago, named after a neighbour's German Shepherd. Sigh...
I like the idea of the name meaning something though, and as a lover of academia (I would study for the rest of my life if I could afford to) Sophia (wisdom) is very appealing! xxx thanks again! xxx

I have travelled to Turkey, though not to Istanbul. I went in May 2000 and not long after they had quite a major earthquake.
I stayed in Bodrum on the Aegean coast (we spent a day on the Greek island of Kos). Whilst there we visited the salt plains of Pammukkale and the Holy site of Ephesus. if you ever go to Turkey, I strongly recommend you go there! Turkey's scenery is breath taking, the only place I've ever been that actually looks just as it does in the brochures! Apparently Istanbul has the equivalent of the population of England, living in a space the size of London - I'd love to go, just to see how they manage that!
If you make it there...let me know, I'll come too! haha xxx take care new friend xxx
