hi everyone! it's been a while. had the 20 week scan a week and a half ago…. it's a boy! and all seems well with him. we had the pleasure of a really long scanning session. my parents in law were getting very nervous waiting for us b-c they thought the news might be bad. but it was just that there was a trainee sonographer who had to double-check everything with her mentor. that was nice, in fact, b-c we got to ask lots of questions and they seemed to go about things very methodically and enthusiastically.
we decided to tell our 3.5 year old daughter after we got the OK from the scan. she is thrilled about her baby brother, and speaks to him every morning and sings to him too. on her own she decided to tell him that she loves him. it made my heart melt…
going through a nervous patch again, though, as getting a bit of pinkish discharge for the last three days. not enough to stain a pad, but enough to show up when i wipe, although not every time i go to the loo. called triage at local maternity hospital a couple of times but they said it wasn't enough yet to merit a visit. very hard to stay calm, but trying to! i thought the spotting should stop once we pass the first trimester? am trying to think what happened with my first, but can't for the life of me remember. anyone else experiencing a bit of bleeding? baby is still kicking lots so that helps.
