15-20 Weeks

We're now into our 19th week and in a weird kind of nomansland between scans so it's interesting to think what's going on with the baby. Our next scan is now just over two weeks away on the 18th Jan.

Happy Digital Christmas

OK so this isn't directly related to our pregnancy, but there are a few similarities in terms of social media coverage! Enjoy the video and a Merry Christmas to you all :)

It Could Be A Girl

From our completely amateur experiments with the doppler we have measured an average heart rate of 143bpm. This points to our baby being a girl, apparently, along with the wife's pillow facing south and the sum of her age at conception and the month of conception equalling an odd number (32+9=41). We haven't tried dangling wedding rings over her tummy or divining rods yet!

Baby's Heartbeat

This is amazing! We have recorded our baby's heartbeat using a doppler machine that we have borrowed from friends. So amazing!

One Step At A Time

Today's good news is that we've had the results back from our last midwife's appointment. The Down's Syndrome Blood Test gives our odds as normal at 1:2200 and the Spina Bifida test has come back negative. So a healthy baby, here's hoping :)

2nd Midwife's Appointment

We're now 15 weeks 6 days and ticking along quite nicely. In the last few weeks Mum-to-be has started wearing some maternity clothes as her jeans and trousers were getting a bit snug! Today we attended our second midwife's appointment, which went fine. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat and some blood was taken for various tests. It's funny to think that by our next appointment on the 18th January we'll be 21 weeks and over halfway there!

Here's to everyone having a Merry Christmas and to our last as just the two of us before Junior arrives :)
