Feotal Anatomy Scan

On Wednesday I took Mum and Fee with me for my foetal anatomy and 3D scan. Baby was tossing and turning and kicking his legs up so it was hard to see much on the 3D scan. I have included one of the photos although it isn’t all that clear. The photo shows a side view. At this stage the baby is fully formed and just hanging around putting on weight. I also asked the Sonographer to confirm the sex, which she did, although she had to wait a while as he was, ummm…’holding’ himself :)DEFINITELY a boy!


It was great news to hear that all of the baby’s bones are present, he’s heartbeat is strong and his growth is on schedule. Sunday 25th October 2009 (20 weeks) is the half way mark. I can’t believe that there is only just over 4 months to go! I seriously need to get around to doing as much as I can before baby arrives (including picking a name).

After the scan Fee came back to my place to put together the bath/change table. It had no instructions (except the picture on the side of the box) but she did a wonderful job. Take a look.

Boy or Girl? It’s a…

Today I went to see Dr Molloy for my week 17 check-up. Bub is growing in leaps and bounds. Both of our weight gains are on schedule, my blood pressure is OK and because the placenta is lying at the back it explains why I can already feel bub move.

Luckily for me bub was in just the right position, at the right time so I could find out the sex…let me just say that there were a few people that didn’t want to know but after speaking to them today they have since changed their mind. So, here’s the ultrasound pic (taken from the bottom looking up).


Oh, and for those that still can’t guess…it’s a BOY!!!
