19 weeks - Anatomy scan

Today we had our 18-20 week anatomy scan.

It always amazes me how much detail you can see even on a 2d scan.

She checked the heart, organs, legs, feet, hands, brain. Took her some time to get a good shot of bub's profile, but we eventually got there.

Everything looks normal as far as she can tell, but we will get the doctors report next week.

What was easy to determine, and spot on the scan, was the gender of our little one.

Our beautiful new little one is a......



BOY!!!

When she showed us his bits ( it was very obvious even to our untrained eyes) I think we both thought, 'Oh, its not a girl' for a split second. But we also immediately started thinking about the special relationship that Cadell and this new little one will have.

They will only be 22 months apart. Best buds, brothers. I am so looking forward to see their relationship grow. I love the thought of another little boy, Cadell is so sweet who wouldn't want another with his genes..! Little boys are special, and maybe I am just made to be a mum of boys. We haven't decided of course yet if our family is complete, but I wont be actively trying for a girl. As much as a girl would be nice, I wouldn't change the fact that I will have 2 boys even if I could!

On Friday the 20th March I had my 40+2 appointment, where they did a stretch and sweep and the Dr said he thought I would go into labour that night or the next day as I was 3 cm dilated already, my waters were bulging and everything was looking favourable. I had some contractions Saturday morning but they fizzled out. Then on the Monday I had more contractions and bub wasn't moving as much so we went in to be monitored. She had a few decelerations but everything was fine in the end. They did another stretch and sweep and I had to go back in the morning for my 41 week appointment. They booked my induction for Friday 27th and I was to ring at 6 am to find out when to go in. I rang and was told there was no beds and they would ring again in the afternoon to let me know. In the afternoon they ...
