Been okay this week! All is well, thank God, had a scan on Wednesday at 7+1 and Poppy Heart was absolutely fine, perfect heart beating away at 141 beats per minute, and measured perfectly at 10.8mm. I'm just so happy, taking one day at a time and forever thankful things are going to plan at the moment, and I pray they keep going to plan indefinitely.
Been thinking about my gardening a lot as the weather get's better. I worry about toxoplasmosis constantly, especially with Princess Octavia, our Persian cat around, but thankfully Al has banned me from handling the kitty litter. If he's out and she goes, I get all gowned up - hankies for masks, gloves etc and deal with it as soon as possible. Praying all is well. Still, I believe growing up in Kenya and gardening must have exposed me to the protozoa before, so I should be immune. Still, I won't take chances, so I'll ask for a test when I see the midwife next week - apparently there's a blood test that can detects where one is with regard to toxoplasmosis and there's some kind of treatment if need be. Really don't want to take things for granted!
All in all though, things are good, I'm thankful and happy and every single day with Poppy Heart is special beyond words, so I'm enjoying every moment!
Note to Poppy (name likely to change at short notice!):
Everyday with you is special baby! Keep doing what you are doing, grow stronger and bigger for mummy, and keep that heart beating, you clever little miracle! Can't wait to see you again in a week and a half, but till then, I'll keep talking to you and constantly thinking about you and what clever little milestones you are achieving. Lots and lots of love from mama. x x x x x x x
