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!

Our trip to the beach at Redcliffe this weekend.

Things Cadell says

I want to remember the way Cadell says things at this age, I guess the best way is to video but I haven't been getting to do that as much so I thought I'd write them down. His favorite thing at the moment is Helicopters, considering the rescue choppers fly overhead here 3+ times a day it's not surprising. The way he says it is " E - tot - ta".

Today

I wish it didn't feel so difficult to update this regularly.  I feel like  I have missed all these opportunities to record little things that I will want to remember when I am older. I have to say though it is much easier and quicker to type than to write with pen and paper, I guess thats cos Im a lefty. Liam has done a few nights in a row now of sleeping 12-13 hours straight, he goes back and forth with the sleeping but hoping this is it and he has finally settled into a routine. Cadell is talking so much more these days, will attempt almost any word and comes out with things that we think 'where did he get that from?' They have very good listening despite me feeling as though he never listens to me especially when i say No!! Liam is waking up now from his nap. Here are a few photos
