Bubba bump is measuring exactly to dates. I am 11 weeks, 3 days today and that is exactly what came up at the scan. Heartbeat was a perfect 153bpm. Bubba was asleep when we first started the scan, but after a little bit woke up and then had the hiccups! Very cute!
Bubba was also grabbing onto the umbilical cord with his/her hands and kicking around a bit. The man doing the scan was really friendly and explained everything along the way - where all the important bits and pieces were and pointing out when bubba had hiccups. He also burnt heaps of images and a few videos onto a CD for us. The kids were both with us and I think they were pretty interested in the whole thing - the little man especially. Even the little miss, after she got over her fear of the doctors (she is not a fan of hospitals at the moment) and realised no one was going to do anything to her, she sat quietly and watched. After the scan she kept pointing to my tummy and saying "Baby. Look at the baby". It's really lovely having the kids involved.
Hubby had to rush back to work, so we haven't had much of a chance to sit and bask in the wonderful news together. I am over the moon though. I have had a big smile on my face ever since and have been showing anyone I can scan photos!
I am seeing one friend this afternoon to tell her. The poor thing, I sent her a cryptic text message and she was starting to worry about me. I've assured her it's good though and not to worry. The last two friends we wanted to tell in person are coming over for a BBQ tomorrow evening, so we'll tell them then. After that, we can go public. I was going to wait till Monday when I'm 12 weeks, but I'm not sure if I can wait till then! We'll see.
I feel like I can feel excited and happy and really believe in this pregnancy now.
