The 12 week scan

As you can see, baby has grown quite a bit since being a jelly bean! It's head circumferance is now 86mm. That puts it at 13 weeks as of 19th April. They have given me a due date of 25th October.

It finally feels real now it looks like a proper baby and now that my miscarrage chances are much lower.

I bought my first baby magazine after the scan but will not be buying anything else for a while! We're going to the baby show on 22nd May so will be able to recearch things better there as it'll all be under one roof. We have no room to store things yet anyway until Rich has finished the bathroom. The spare room/nursery has loads of tools and clutter in it. Oh, and a whole in the wall where he knocked through when fitting the shower!!!!!!!

Finding Out!

We found out we'd finally succeeded on Valentine's Day. Couldn't have been a better day really. Even though the test said positive I still didn't believe it was finally happening! So much so that I organised an 8 week scan through a clinic my acupuncturist recommended.

At 8 weeks I still felt no different and was convinced something was wrong or the pregnancy tests were wrong. I was very relieved to find everything was growing in the right place and that there was a heart beat. This is the picture of that scan. Baby looks a bit like a jelly baby!! It measured 13mm, so tiny at that point.
