Quiz Night and 28 week scan

So we had another scan at the 28 week mark, crayon is still being shy, so we dont know the sex yet. But all the measurements were fine so its all looking good, its gonna be healthy whatever sex it is.

And last night we won the quiz night at the Isobar again, I think we need to split up into smaller teams though, to give other teams a chance, we dont want to become that team that always wins and everyone hates.

60%girl? (if you wanted to know)

…its got a penis sticking out, but out of the leg… haha. not really. (i’m reading a really interesting book about medical ‘mutants’ by armand marie leroy, and the biology that happens behind the creation of physical oddities. fascinating, but maybe not the best read when you’re pregnant…)

scanner did good look at the heart, and so far so good. and the hands (which they couldnt see the last time) were very peek-a-boo across the face or thumb sucking/nose picking – so those look good as well.

initially the scanner thought it was a boy, but legs were tightly curled up bound around that area, so she spent 20 mins trying to persuade baby otherwise. no such luck. however, from the investigations she did do, she said it looked like a girl. bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. crayon being coy.

…however, we got 2 full fledged yawns on screen. so it has a very cute yawn – be it boy or girl.

so i’m left not being able to make my floral baby duvet arrangements for another 4 weeks until next scan.

c’est la vie.

20 week scan

Well we had the 20 week scan today, everything looks fine, the nurse wasnt worried about anything. But little crayon was being his squirmy self so she couldnt get a clear enough view to see for sure if its boy or girl. At least thats what she said at the end, but Laurel and I harbour suspicions she forgot to look.

We have another scan at 24, just to check the heart (it all looked good today) because Laurel has a bit of family history of heart issues. Pretty low risk though. So hopefully then we will find out the sex.
