27 Weeks 2 Days: Progress in the nursery, blood tests and a contraction!

I've been pottering around in the nursery this week thanks to only having the two appointments earlier in the week to get to. I finally managed to get the million bags of baby clothes sorted out and packed away in the drawers. Oh and re-contacted the dressing table as well! The supply cupboard is now fully stocked with nappies, wipes and bath supplies, and all of the baby blankets and bunny rugs have been washed and folded and put away. The list is getting smaller and smaller!

Tuesday night I had my very first braxton hicks contraction. It was like a fairly intense period pain but not too unbearable.I knew what it was as soon as it started, even though I'd been saying recently that I wouldn't know a contraction if I fell over it! Haven't had any since though so one practise shot must have been enough for this little one!

After finally getting my blood tests done on Tuesday I got a letter in the mail today saying my vitamin D level is low. I wasn't surprised, I've been really slack taking my supplement lately so was expecting it to be low. But the letter didn't mention any of the other tests (glucose tolerance test, full blood count, ferritin) so I don't know if that means they were all clear or if they only notify you about the vitamin D by mail. I don't see Doctor Hingston until the 29th, so I guess I'll find out then.
