So many things have happened in December so I’m going to try and remember them and post some pictures..I’ve been so rubbish with this blogging malarkey. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to blog more often…inspired by a copy of Company magazine I read recently which featured loads of blogs and bloggers.
So, December started off without pregnancy sickness (yay!) but with a horrific cold (boo!) which wiped me out completely. People had been saying that the baby is taking all my ‘goodness’…well that was certainly the case…I felt dreadful!
The first weekend of December was when I properly got my appetite back so the hubby and I went out to Panam http://www.panambarliverpool.co.uk/in Liverpool for a meal and then watched War of the Worlds http://www.thewaroftheworlds.com/.

Work was difficult around this time as I was full of a cold and tired and struggled to keep a class of 16+ year olds entertained every day!! The end of term is in sight!
The week after, a good friend of mine Emma had booked us in for a cupcake decorating class. Now, my fingers are like Cumberland sausages so anything that is fiddly to do is not done well by me. Anyway, after lots of laughs and perseverance look what I produced..Impressive eh?
Inspired by the cupcake making, the husband and I took his mum and dad out for afternoon tea At Cloud 23 http://www.cloud23bar.com/for her birthday. Stupidly I didn’t mention I was pregnant and when the food came out a lot of it was not pregnancy friendly (stilton, smoked salmon, etc.) I was gutted but at least I had all the cakes to eat although actually my sweet tooth has disappeared quite a bit since getting pregnant. Craving more savoury stuff than sweet…especially salt and vinegar crisps!
Love this outfit but i think it's more a summer outfit, not sure if pink chinos are appropriate in Winter!

Mid December was quite traumatic for us…I had a phone call from the midwife while I was at work who had the results of our quad test. High levels of AFP hormone had been detected in my blood which we were told could mean the baby had a spinal or brain defect so I would have to go in for a scan the next day to check. So there I am, sat at my desk on my lunch break being told this news over the phone. A horrible experience to say the least! Bless my work mates who dealt with my crying and sobbing very well and my head of department who sent me home straight away!
Anyway, we went for the scan and the wonderful consultant looked at the baby again in lots of detail and said he could not find anything that would indicate a spinal or brain defect. However, he did say he was going to do all our scans from now on just to be on the safe side. Phew!
