Baby's First Scan

Well - here's the Pope / Mary Mags.....

Pictures aren't the best but BH (aka Baby Hughes) was movin' and groovin'. The best pic is of BH stretching, where it appears longest - has already inherited it's parents fat guts.

Thankfully, and we say that with much glee, there was only one in there.

I'm actually 14 weeks - BH was measuring 8.5cm long and the sonographer said it's brain was perfect (again, taking after it's parents). Ian was asking if there was a willy there - wishful thinking on his part I think.....how big does he think these things are?!

After all that, went for my height, weight (??) measurements and blood pressure. Then we had a longish session with the midwife - going through all the stuff etc etc. BH is being born at the QEII (not the ship unfortunately) which is situated about a 15-20 min drive from our place in Welwyn Garden City and due date is still 4 July.......had all my bloods taken then we were off. Going back on 17 January for a Serum Screening, which basically checks the risk factor for Downs Syndrome. Then next session won't be till early/mid-Feb for my 20 week scan and further stuff - that one is going to be great.....only 6 weeks to go (christ, that also means I'm halfway there!!).

Hope you're all well and have an awesome New Years - have a drink for me & BH. Don't have a drink for Ian coz I'm sure he'll sort that out himself.

Lots and lots of love,

Sez
