Just a short one!

Ok, this is just a short post. I made Angus some bibs and I'm fairly happy with how they turned out! It was really simple. I just got a pattern of the net, but you could easily make one up yourself. Or even just trace around a bib you already use! The front is just cotton whatever fabric I had and the back is an old towel. Word of warning though. If you're going to cut up a towel, be aware that it makes a HUGE mess!! But it's easy to clean up.

This is my favourite with bugs on it!

Here are the other colours

Woo Hoo it's blooooooo!!!

We found out! And we couldn't be happier! IT"S A BOY!! Wow. I cried when she told us. I couldn't have cared either way, but it's great to know and to find out he's all healthy. He's growing wonderfully. I'm amazed at his growth too. At my first scan at 18 weeks he was measuring one week behind but at my more recent scan he was measuring a day ahead! I couldn't believe it! It's wonderful. So I went out and bought my first gender specific item. Three little blue onsies with cars on them. Hehe. So cute. I do have to go back at 24 weeks for another scan because they think there was an amniotic band but they're not sure. If you don't know what this is, it's a thin piece of the amniotic sac that has broken away and is floating around in the amniotic fluid and it can wrap itself around part of bub and as he grows it can basically cut the circulation off and essentially almost amputate the part of the body. But, it is very rare and highly unlikely that that's what it is. So I'm not worried at this stage. If it's anything then it's more likely to be an amniotic sheet which does no harm to bub at all.If it was the former then it would have been picked up at an earlier scan and there were no other signs to say that it was there. Bub looks perfectly fine and healthy, plus another scan just means I get to see him again in a few weeks! So here are the pictures I got of him.

Morphology Scan Relief!

Hey all. I haven't been around for a bit and I only thought to do this because someone mentioned to me that I haven't posted in a while, so here it is. The latest addition.
Not much to report really. My pregnancy is going really well, finally. I'm currently 19 weeks, yay! I went to have my morphology scan done last Friday, 2nd July 2010, and I was a complete wreck going in there. But the first thing she did was piont out the heartbeat and I cried tears of relief. That was all I needed to see. She did do a few measurements and all seemed well, but bub was still a bit too small to get everything that was required. I have to go back on the 12th July for another go. She tried to see if bub was a boy or a girl but he/she had their legs crossed, so we couldn't tell. Although she did say that she couldn't see any boy bits, but she didn't want to say it was a girl because she wasn't sure. So I'm sure I'll find out ont he 12th. I hope. Although when it comes down to it, it's not really important as long as it's healthy. I'm also starting to get the nursery organised. I have the furniture but there are still a few important bits like a cot matress and change table mat that I haven't got. And I'm sure I'll get plenty of everything else further down the track.Of course I alreadty have most of the stuff I need because I got it during my first pregnancy. It's just been packed away for a while. It's nice to be able to get it out and get ready to use it finally. I'm feeling really good now too. my morning sickness is gone and I have more energy, but I am still getting tired in the early afternoons and it's now getting harder to reach my feet. Lol!! I'll post a recent picture of my roundness too, just so you can see how things are progressing. Bub seems to be growing right on shedual. And my tummy is too. hehe. Sel calls me a ball with arms and legs. Hehehe. It's so funny. I have to get him to put my socks on because it's getting too hard to do it myself.
Well that's about all I can tell you right now. I didn't get any pictures of bub the other day because I didn't have my scan done properly, but I will when I have it done on the 12th.

This is me at 18 weeks and 1 day. But I feel like I've popped even more since then.
