The scan was sooo special. Obviously before hand I was a nervous wreck because I wanted our little baba to be okay and plus this was the anomaly scan so they really look into detail at all parts of the baby. Seriously, the couple of weeks leading up to the scan I could have turned into a ball of wool, I was knitting all the time cause I wanted to take my mind off things and not worry, I didn't touch my finger nails once though, YAY!
So anyway, the morning of the scan I was sooooooo nervous!!! Matthew's parents and my Mum came with us, the Mum's came into the scan room but Matthew's Dad wants it as a surprise so he didn't come in. It was lovely having them there, even if they could only come in at the very end. I still had my Maff in there with me and he made me feel sooo relaxed as he always does. I lay on the bed and this time it was a different nurse, she was amazing! She really told me what was going to be happening, what she was going to look at etc and said that she was really sorry but she wouldn't be able to talk as she really needs to concentrate. I felt sooooo at ease! Especially as she showed us our little baby before she did the tests. HE was the most gorgeous little person in the world. It was amazing seeing the baby on the 12 week scan but for the 20 week scan it was just the most amazing thing I've ever seen, he looked like a proper baby and he was sucking his thumb ahhhhhhhhh, we saw his little mouth moving as he was sucking and then the nurse moved the machine down and we saw his amazing little heartbeat fluttering away so well andddddddddd we saw a little winkle! IT'S A BOYYYY! I didn't see it as I was wiping my eyes because I was just sooo happy at seeing him but Maff just turned to me and whispered "I think we're having a boy." The nurse carried on with the test and said everything had developed well, his heart, his brain, his teeny tiny lungs, his ligaments - although it took her a while to see them because little man was wriggling around as usual hehe! But then she showed us his little spine - WOW that was amazing, she said the spine had developed really well yayy!! - Obviously them gigantic, minging vitamins and minerals tablets really help. And then before the Mum's came in she said that it is "pretty clear your having a boy!" and she also said that he's the right size for 20 weeks and a little bigger- uh oh, does this mean I'm going to have a 9lb baby like his daddy?! arghhhhhh! The Mum's were soo happy! He was actually waving when they came to look :) what a cutie!
Maff and I are soooooooo unbelievably happy. We were very shocked that it was a boy because we just felt that it was going to be a girl, plus I'd done every single gender test a million times and they ALL came out with girl - I won't be doing them again! People keep on saying, "are you dissapointed that it's not a girl?" Are they for real?! Maff and I are going to be a Mummy and Daddy to the most amazing gift we could ever want! We have created the most amazing thing on this planet and I have the most greatest pleasure to be able to carry him in my stomach and help him to grow, he's going to be a Mummy's boy for sure and him and Daddy are going to be the bestest of friends - WE CANNOT WAIT!!
Now he's growing soooo fast! We actually have 19 weeks left until the due date (unless he comes earlier) and then we get to hug and kiss him soo much!! He can now recognise voices and songs yay! Maff talks to him all the time and has done since we found out I was pregnant. I love it when he talks to him cause it must be hard for a man as he doesn't get to feel the same things as me, but Maff really makes an effort, I think he's going to be such a wonderful Daddy! Little man is kicking me sooo much, I love it. He kicks even more as I'm just about to head off to sleep or wayy too early in the morning- little monkey! This week I've been singing "My Heavenly Father loves me" and "Love is spoken here" both from the LDS primary song book and little man LOVES it! He kicks me tons when I sing these to him yayyyyy!!
Maff and I love him sooooooo much and talk about him every day. We've been buying a few things already and it makes it seem sooo real - Our little baby will be in these outfits and in this Moses basket - yes I already have his Moses Basket, Asda baby and toddler event is amazing... in just a few short months- Say whatttt?! We are the happiest Mummy and Daddy in the world and feel sooooooo blessed right now!
Love

Congrats to you both. You're properly glowing! I always thought that a boy would make the best first baby. He gets to be brave and strong and look after all his brothers and sisters to come.
