Baby Pak

So... keeping up with my updating my little flailing blog.. we had a morphology scan on Valentines Day (around 20 weeks pregnant).. I was hoping to find out the sex of our baby but with our experience with Jayden the last time (he was too overly active - we had to wait till he was born) I didnt have much hope.

Like Jayden, this one kept on turning.. and moving.. and tossing around.. the scan was quite a detailed one, and the sonographer had to take a whole heap of photographs of the baby. Well, surprise surprise, baby moved so much that one point the poor frustrated sonographer exclaimed "My goodness, will this baby stop moving!!" 

Ah well, lets just say I was mortified and yet secretly proud of Baby.

Towards the end of the scan (around the 1 and half hour mark - yes because it took thaaat long for sufficient pictures to be taken) I asked the anticipated question... "Do we know the sex?" With that this long-suffering lady embarked on another 15minute search 'down there',  only to conclude that she thought it was a girl but couldnt be sure. So, she got her supervisor in to take a closer look. Her supervisor after peering at the image, then goes "Congratulations, I'm 90% sure its a girl."

Stunned silence. 

"A baby girl?!! What will I do with a baby girl?? I dont have any fashion sense, can't braid my own hair, and from what I've heard about girls, they are harder to raise.." Well, and its no secret that Josh wanted another boy. His reaction was about the same as mine ' stunned silence followed by "well this is INTERESTING..." ha ha..

Well, so.. we are 90% sure that we are have a Baby Girl. Here she is - my gorgeous child anyway, and we will look forward to this adventure together.   

To my baby princess.. 

I know Daddy and myself weren't really expecting to have a girl, and we still don't really know what to expect, as long as you are happy and healthy, we will be happy. You certainly kick and move alot, not much more than your brother!  The difference was to me, that when that nice lady was poking and prodding you, you didnt react as fervently/indignantly as he did. But you waited, and was patient. Only after about 6-8 hard prods did you react and kick out, and even then it felt different, more like "okay i dont like this, please stop!!" instead of "STOP poking me!!" Well right now Mummy is at 24 weeks - only about 3 more months to go before we see you face-to-face, but this we can tell you now - we love you already.

Love,

Mummy and Daddy
