Just had our scan. We have a happy healthy upside down baby who likes to stick their arse in the air (so it is their bum I've been feeling stuck up in the air in the morning when I wake up). They also seem to be fond of having their thumb in their mouth.
Lots of yawns, lots of eye movement and finger curls. Measuring perfectly. Very wriggly and active - and the reason I'm not feeling much movement - I've got an anterior placenta. Though sods law did feel some distinct kicks this morning before we set off for the scan.
Lovely sonographer gave us 8 different scan pics as the little one was doing lots of posing for the camera - including some frankly freaky front-on facial shots which look a bit like a cross between skeletor and a frog. DH reckons it has my lips and I reckon it has his nose and we both think we might have spotted the gender too - but this was neither confirmed or denied by the sonographer.
On the pg thing - I'm loving it. Getting heartburn pretty bad and losing some of my energy (we're off hill walking this weekend so we'll see how much DH has to push me up hills) but other than that (touch wood) all is very very cool. A slightly teary DH gave my hand a squeeze on the drive home from the hospital and informed me how proud he is of how easy I'm making pregnancy seem and what a good job I'm doing of growing the wee one. Bless him!
I've bought a wee bottle of wine to celebrate on our weekend away! Can't wait for a nice chilled out weekend at a remote bothy, log fire, good books, wine, DH and good news from the scan. Catch up with you all on Monday! xx
