So Ive been gone again for a few weeks! With all the stress and the shock of finding out I'm pregnant again and Alfie suddenly deciding to become the most demanding baby on the planet I ended up getting flu. Urgh it was awful but Im over the worst! I am now 8 weeks gone and feeling very tired!! It doesnt help as I said above Alfie has decided to play up at night. I have no idea what has happened to him but he just fights sleep really bad and screams all night. I dont think hes hurting because if you sit him up and talk to him he stops and smiles. Its just when you leave him in the cot or try to cuddle him of to sleep he starts. Some people think he may be teething, I hope they're right then atleast there is a reason for it!!

Anyway, the reason why I am posting... Some people might remember from when I had Alfie, my local hospital doesnt tell you the gender of your baby through scans because of insurance and cultural reasons. So my last 3 babas have been a surprise. Chris compensation for the leg accident is through soon and he has said as a present he is going to give me some cash to do as I want with!! So I am going to have more than enough to get a private gender scan done without having to worry about money this time round. But I cant decide whether to do it! Its frustrating but exciting guessing what you got and I love after all the hard work of labour you get to find out! But at the same time 3 boys in, it would be nice to know in advance whether I am ever going to get a girl or I am getting sons all the way! Also if I find out I can buy either blue or pink things instead of white and yellow!! Did anyone get they're scan done and wish they had kept it a surprise afterwards? Or has anyone had a surprise baby and found out what the baby was next time round?
