Nuchal traslucency and nose bone

Both perfect!!!!

I saw the baby again yesterday!

As always I sart off being really scared and thinking that they're gonna say something terrible and that my pregnancy will end there on that bed the way it did three years ago.

Yesterday was a refreshing and HOPEful day!  We got to see our baby .... his perfect little profile, his strong beating heart, his little hands over his face.....

The Doc said that we got to see quite alot of things considering I'm 12+6

She measured baby's nuchal traslucency three times and everytime she said it was perfect hubby and I squeezed our hands a little tighter.  We held hands through the whole scan.  I really needed hubbies support and he is always at arms length for me to hold on to!

I have only recently been introduced to what is called The Nub Theory.  I'm getting quite a culture on what a boy's nub should look like and what a girl's should look like.  Then I look at Minu's DVD and get confused.  It's not that it's important.  I love the baby to bits already.  It's gender will make no difference.

I won't deny that I would have liked to have had the experience of raising a girl.  Not being a mum to one.... because I already am a mum to a little girl!

Another boy would mean..... triple the boy love I get!  it would mean more cars .... or animals.... or dino's.... even footballs.  It would mean that I will have the honour of having another big pair of eyes look at me everyday as though I'm some kind of beauty queen even when I'm feeling under the weather and look like a lorry has hit me.

Another girl would mean..... PINK!  it would mean that her sister can lend her some of her baby clothes.  It means princesses and dolls.  It means shopping!  It means that I, and the rest of the family will have a whole new experience in raising a delicate little girl.  It means big brown eyes will look at her daddy thinking he is her prince charming and she'll wrap him round her little finger and he'll love her all the more for it.

I won't tell you all what the doc said it was...... I'll tell you after the doc

as I said... in the end....I just want a screaming baby... alive and kicking.
