20 weeks and 6 days scan

Went for our 20 week scan today. Was amazing to see the baby opening and closing their mouth and sucking their fingers. It looks really big now and the sonographer said it weighs 409g! The experience wasn't as nice as the first time as the lady didn't speak for the first bit, which made me worried, and then she wasn't going to give us a photo.

But we got one and as you can see it has a VERY Kenyan face: small nose, pronounced jaw and big mouth! Just like Gregory.

I have been feeling really run down this week and I decided to go to the doctors this evening. I have got some infection, she wasn't sure what (not a UTI which is ususal). So I am on antibiotics and am not allowed to go to work for 2 days, which is really annoying as there is so much to do. I tried to persuade her to let me go in but she reminded me that I have someone else to think about now.

20 weeks

We went for our 20 week check up yesterday, decided to go Kenyan stylee, which is cheaper than visiting a gynaecologist and just as good. The trouble with Kenyan style, as with anything Kenyan, is that you can't be in a rush!

We arrived at the clinic the moment its doors opened, 1pm, hoping to beat the rush as Tim (my Head) had advised me to get there early and we'd only be waiting for perhaps half an hour to forty five minutes. 2 hours and 45 minutes later I had been weighed, had my height measured and my stomach felt by a doctor and we were done.

As this was the first appointment at the clinic I couldn't book but I have booked for the next visit, I do wonder, though, whether this will speed anything up. We shall see.
