My mood while writing this blog: Buzzing!!!! |
Hi girls
I am still smiling from ear to ear after our scan this morning. I felt sick with nerves when I woke up and felt very nervous but we got there and didn't have to wait at all, my mum was with us as well.
As soon as she put the scanning thing on me we saw baby H and he/she was either drinking or talking, it's little mouth was opening and closing and I said look mum it takes after you already which everyone found amazing - it was instant love for all of us. The sonographer talked us through every little part of the baby's body and measured everything and all is PERFECT! She showed us the baby had a full bladder which means it is feeding or drinking properly. She even enlarged the tiny heart on the screen and we could see the valves opening and closing, I am still gob smacked at how amazing it was. She turned the screen away when she looked between baby's legs so I'm sure the sonographer knows the sex but none of us do which is how we want it.
We all managed to hold it together until we left the scanning room and then we all cried tears of relief and happiness.
After the scan we went to my office and showed all the girls at work the pictures then we went to show my sister and her partner then went food shopping then went out for dinner which was lovely. Next we went to my other sisters house and took my 2 year old niece Evie to the school to pick up my other niece and nephew and took them to the park on the way home, we walked for 2 hours so I'm quite tired but I enjoyed every minute of it.
We bought a matress for the cot today and a few more little bits and we've just spent an hour clearing out the room that is going to be the nursery as the decorator is coming tomorrow - everything is sooooo exciting!
We're having a big bar be que at our house tomorrow with all the family so I'm looking forward to that (if the weather stays nice).
So ladies, we have had the most amazing day, baby H has been moving and kicking all day since the scan and I am just madly in love and so happy.
Lots of love xxx

Friday, 1 May OMG so amazing. Your baby H is perfect. I hope your mouth is feeling better. You can get a temporary filling kit from tesco. Costs £7.99 and should help you until baby H is here. I did have dental work done in pregnancy but i needed it badly. maybe for me it was a risk worth taking as I had an abcess the size of a golf ball in my mouth and it was ready to burst :S. I can't wait to start shopping for my littleones. xoxox Take Care and God Bless. Hope your barbeque goes well. I'm crossing my fingers it's lovely for you. midwife~momma -
