The Ultrasound lady was THE LOVELIEST lady!!! We made sure to let her know we wanted to know the sex of our Baby! She joined in our excitement and explained everything she was checking and measuring.
First she checked the brain- Perfect! Everything was where it should be! She measured the size of the head then she scanned down so we were looking up Baby T's little pouty nose- no cleft lip and everything in its right position! Then she checked the spine, bladder and the kidneys- Perfect! All blood flow was going to the right place! Then onto the arms and hands, legs and feet- 10 perfect little fingers and 10 perfect little toes! At this point Baby T yawned a massive yawn!
She measured the bones in the arms and legs and then moved down to the Baby's bottom so we could hopefully get a peek at whether we had a girl or a boy! Baby T had been bouncing around and kicking me the whole ultrasound so luckily the legs were in the right spot... We saw 3 little lines and no bulge! We have a baby GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so confident it was a girl before we found out so it was just a confirmation for me! I cried tears of happiness!! We are having a little girl! A little bundle of pink!!!
After the 'potty shot' the ultrasound lady moved onto check her umbilical cord... All perfect with blood flowing perfectly! Then the mission of finding a good view of her heart began.... She did not want to cooperate. At one stage she was face down, then flipped over with her thumb at her mouth, then with the biggest amount of effort she bounced off my uterus like a trampoline and had her feet up at her face with her hands!! I had to stand up and dance around to get her to move around in there... 5 minutes later and we had a good view!! 4 chambers with blood flowing perfectly, no holes and a separate stomach! Our Baby Girl is perfect! A healthy baby girl! The ultrasound lady asked what we were calling her... We told her the name and she was the first person besides us to refer to our Baby girl as her name!!! It is perfect!!! The name is perfect!! A surprise for you all to wait for!!!
At the end the ultrasound lady switched on the 3D scan so we could see her little face.... Oh my precious!!!!!!!!!!! She had her little hand up over her eye and we could see her button 'pig' nose just like mine!!! I can't stop looking at that photo of her! Our baby girl has my nose!! We even had a friend comment on the photo that she has my nose!!!!
The ultrasound lady showed us our baby Girl's measurements... All were perfectly average except her head which is on the larger side (she has me as a Mum so a big head is expected)....which hopefully slows down since the head is the first part to come out of me... OH DEAR!!!!!! She weighs 361g and her head is 18cm around with 16cm around her little belly!!
After the most amazing 30 minutes we were done!! I have felt like I am walking on a cloud since then!! We sent messages to our family and friends to let them all know our baby is healthy and a girl!! Everybody is very excited!!! Only 20 weeks until we meet our little princess! We went straight to the shops and bought our baby girl her first pink outfit!!!! I could get lost in all the pink newborn clothes!! I can't wait to start planning her nursery and buying the cutest girls clothes!!
Well that is all for now.. I will post again on the weekend for the Week 20 update!
Love from Us (all 3 of us) xoxo
