We have finally met our baby - well seen at least! We had the scan Friday morning and I was getting so impatient sitting there in the waiting room, I just wanted to see him/ her!! The midwife had a quick look herself before switching on a big TV screen where we could see our baby. It was much better than having to look on her tiny screen. It was such an amazing experience, we were both close to tears. I didnt want to leave the room, I could have stayed there all day just watching it move.
The baby wouldnt stop wriggling around so it proved difficult for the nurse to measure it and to take a good picture. Every time she went to take the picture it would roll over and have it's back to us. So cheeky already!! We got three pictures - 1 for me, 1 for David and 1 for a scrapbook we are going to start to chart the baby's life. We are both so excited now we have seen it for the first time. I take the picture out of my purse and just stare at it a lot!! It's made it so much more real now I can see it, and I have become more attached now I know the first trimester is behind me.
Health-wise I'm feeling OK. I was sick on the morning of the scan, but I think that was because I had to drink a pint of water and usually first thing in the morning that's not such a good idea on an empty stomach! We have booked our next scan and neither of us can wait to see how much the baby has grown.
