The Morphology Scan

At the 19 week morphology scan we learnt that this little lollipop is a BOY!! Just as I had suspected! Everything is brilliant although I have a low lying placenta again. Hopefully it has moved up at my 34 week scan otherwise its under the knife I go!

Right now I am almost 23 weeks. I am getting so many strong kicks now and Damo got to feel them for the first time at about 3am when he just wouldn't stop squirming :)

A signature

I had this made for me to use on a parenting forum. Mila got a Baby Born from her Nanna, Pop and Aunty Jane. She getting some practice in before the arrival :)

my little lollipop

I had my ultrasound on Friday to check on that cyst. It appears smaller so hopefully that is good news (will see the Dr on Monday). The sonographer was fantastic and spent heaps of time showing me different "bits".

Lollipop was wriggling around waving arms everywhere (must have been that glass of coke,lol). There was a heartbeat of 155bpm and a length of 6.4 cms. I couldnt believe the level of detail for only 13 weeks gestation. Lollipop has a beautiful profile and was lying belly down over my placenta with its bum in the air (much like the way Mila sleeps now!)

It all seem so real now and I am so much in love with Lollipop all ready :)

12 weeks today! bring on the 2nd trimester

Yep, I have finally hit the 12 weeks mark. Time for all you folks to find out the news :)

Apart from my 3 colds in 2 months I think I am regaining my energy. Poor Damo has been starving the last few months as I just couldn't bring myself to cooking a meal. The smells are too much. But thats better too. Nausea has gone but looks like the vego-prego will stay. I seem to go off meat when I am pregnant. I have lost 5gs but should start regaining that soon.

I can well and truly feel the uterus above my pubic bone now and I am just waiting for those little flutters.

The Belly

New Years Day (about 21 weeks)
