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!

3d scan pictures

At 36 weeks we got a 3d/4d scan done, it was amazing to see the detail!

18 months old

Our little boy is a year and a half! Time is flying by at the moment. So far, he hasn't been saying too much, but I think he has been trying to say a few things such as 'truck' and babbling in his own lanaguage. He also says 'Yeah' when we ask him something and its something he wants! He is understanding so much now though. We can ask him questions and he definitely knows what we are saying and what he wants/doesn't want!! if we ask him 'where's your tummy/nose/mouth/etc' he will find them and point. He is running everywhere, loves kicking balls around the house + outside, although when he is outside he seems to prefer to explore, try and dig with a little shovel, and play in water! He is fascinated with spinning around at the moment, I think he likes the dizzy feeling he gets!

Lately

This little monkey was a bit proud of himself for getting up on his chair! We spent a morning the other week in the garden with the dogs running round, Cadell loved that and was a little bit sad that he couldn't chase after the dogs! Won't be long before he is though... Its been a funny week as Matt has been off sick all week. I find it difficult to stick to my usual schedule when he's home, so I don't feel like everything has got done. But that is ok. Matt's birthday tomorrow, not sure what we are doing for it yet, maybe go out for a later lunch (after Cadell wakes up from his nap) and not too much else as he is still not 100%. Only 1 more week (next week) of school, and then the following week I will work 1 day and the other 2 days Cadell will stay in Daycare and I have a long long list of Spring Cleaning/Decluttering to get done. I have started on it a tiny bit already as there is so much I want to get done. The week after that, I have the f...
