First scan

So it turns out I am actually already 13 weeks pregnant. My due date changed again.

What is it about scans that make everything alright? It seems like all is worth it.

This one didn't move the arms and legs like a bug as my first one had done in the first scan but jumped a couple of times, turned around, almost walked in the womb. It seemed to me like the facial features looked more like me.

Now I need to start thinking about ways of breaking the news to my first one.

It’s A Baby!

I had my first scan today and the moment I saw my baby on the monitor, I gasped in shock. It really is there. There is really a baby in me. And it is fully formed.

This puts things in perspective. Until now, all I felt was the debilitating symptoms of pregnancy but now nothing in the world matters anymore. I simply cannot believe that there is a baby in me, kicking and jerking. I am overcome by the pride I feel for my little one’s fingers and toes, big head and belly. It is simply incredible and beautiful!
