16 weeks

I suppose I should be updating every week but never get round to it.

I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday.

As always I get really anxious just before I get into the room.  We went in and the doctor's first reaction to my belly was:  "oh my!  you can tell you do clexane!"

I looked away as I do a the beging of a scan.  Then I here the doc say "ok.... so here are the arms wiggling away".  I then pluck up the courage to turn and look at my little child.

The doc. explained that the scan was a preanatomy scan.  A bit like the scan I had last time with my NT scan.

Doc said everything looked fine.  That everything looked as though it was continuing as normal.  He said that he thinks baby is probably a little boy.  He said he's 90% sure but we'll find out properly for our anatomy scan in 3 weeks.

I must be sincere.  I was just a tiny bit disappointed.  I would have liked to of had a girl experience.  I now know I won't have one for the rest of my life and am slightly sad about it but...... then I think.... I have a live baby kicking and punching inside of me!  I am thankful and greatful to God for him!

The doc was surprised I didn't put on weight since last time.  He didn't believe me :(  I hope I don't look too fat!

He told me to carry on with the medicine I'm already taking.  He wants me to have a glucose thingy done.  I'm not looking forward to drinking that horrid sweet stuff.  Never mind.

When we left his office he actually congratulated us on our pregnancy.  I didn't say thank you or anything because I firmly belive it brings bad luck..... but hearing him was strange and hopeful at the same time.

Now I'm looking for a boy baby name.  I never thought I would want to name the baby with the masculine of his big sister's name.   As time goes on.... and thinking of other names..... none seem to be right for him.  Am I making a mistake?  should I not use the same name for my baby boy?  Will I think of my baby girl everytime I call his name?  But surely I'll be thikning of her everytime I look at my baby boy, won't I?

I hope to update when I turn 17 weeks and not leave an update with such a big gap.

My fetal doppler hasn't arrived yet :(  hurry uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!
