Scan is booked!

I wonder if they think I'm retarded or something. I mean, I call up with a simple question (Is this my scan appointment? Because there's nothing in the letter about a scan or the preparation you need to do for it) and in a slowly enunciated (and slightly bored) tone, the woman on the other end goes, "Yes, dear, that's your scan appointment." 

Well, thanks. You know, I've never had a scan here before, this could have been an entirely unrelated appointment because I'm on the RED pathway rather than amber or green, a little friendliness would have been nice? A separate little letter just saying "HAI! Here's a heads-up - you need to drink a small swimming pool before this appointment, ok?" would have been appreciated... but no. Slow sarkynurse instead.

But you know what? This is probably just the paranoia of pregnancy kicking in here, so I'll just let it slide.

12w scan will be at around 13w and is booked at the start of December. Hubby has time off for it, which is awesome. Still debating giving the wee man to his grandad for the day as there was (again) no advice about what to do with small people (and I know for a fact that most hospitals do not like other children attending in case there's bad news).

SCAN BABY, YEAH!

And then a month later, a private scan, so we will know the flavour :p
