For those of you that got the email you will see this is a big copy and paste jobby but why attempt to tell a good story differently when you said it right the first time eh? So the best news ever, I’m 3 months pregnant. Pete and I are absolutely stoked!
We had the first scan on Monday and it was possibly the second best day in my entire life (what can compete with the Wedding eh?) The little thing was bouncing around in there, stretching it’s arms and legs (which thankfully it has two of each) and rubbing it’s face (which it has one of). Pete had somehow wangled with work to be back in the country from Thailand for two days just to get to the scan and am so happy he did. We were high fiving and grinning and laughing and actually, yep, when we got out to the car squealing with joy. I know I know, so unlike me to squeal, you should’ve heard Pete.
When we went to the scan we thought I was around 12 and a half weeks pregnant with a due date of 23 April but after the ultrasound technician took the measurements of the body and brain she said it was more like 11.5 weeks. Pete looked down at his hands and quizzically counted off randomly on his fingers and looked back up at her and said, ‘but hold on…. I was away on business during that time’. The technician looked frantically at me, I thought she was going to pass out. NOT FUNNY PETE. It didn’t help that I then jokingly asked if the lady could tell me if it had red hair (runs in the family and is petrifying Pete). She told us straight laced that we couldn’t determine that information from the ultrasound. Righto.
We won’t know the sex until the 20 week scan but will be sure to find out so will fill you all in then. Have attached a some blurry ultrasound images, we think it’s incredibly cute eh? HA, however, if anyone saw those pic’s of Pete as a baby at the Wedding you know we are in for a lot of… people leaning over bassinette, then trying not to recoil too fast in abject horror! But look at him now eh? Gorgeous.
Hope everyone is well, name suggestions for both sexes, VERY welcome.
As Pete’s Uncle David said '”Keep us posted on the news and pictures - they are the most detailed and easily seen scans I've ever seen :-)”, Not a hint of sarcasm to be heard there I’m sure!!! In case you can’t tell what the beauty before you is I shall explain. This is a side on view with the head on the left and the tummy trailing off to the right, the weird thing poking out of it’s face is it’s little hand (it was waving them about by it’s face, it is not growing out of it’s face)
This is head at top and tummy below and little arm waving up to the left. Note massive ju-ju lips just like it’s mama.
And finally little skeletor face, with right hand rubbing it’s eye and big fat tummy. I am already in love despite the fact that so far my pregnancy has been a communion with the toilet bowl. Whoo hoo! babies eh? best news ever.
