20 weeks and counting

Hello everyone. Another baby update so yes, that can mean only one thing - a blog entry from Gill. (It makes a nice change from all Tony's old waffle).

I find the scans that we have to have a strange experience. You long for the next one to come alomg as it is the most amazing thing to see your baby and hear its heartbeat, but there's so much more to it than that. Measurements are taken from every angle and vital oragns are checked and scrutinised. Thankfully all went well last Monday at our twenty week update. We saw our baby so clearly on the screen. With hands stretched behind its head in a 'chilled out' position it clearly takes after its parents. We saw the soles of the baby's feet and at the end of our twenty minute session, the cheeky thing started sticking its tongue out! Tony's favourite moment was seeing the baby's face in full - had he spotted a family resemblance? Not unless one of us has a 'Skeletor' in the cupboard.

The other big thing at this point is being able to find out the sex of your baby. We couldn't resist this opportunity but we're keeping it to ourselves for now!
