Yesterday was not only my birthday but my 12 week scan and it was absolutely amazing!! By far, the best present that money can buy!
I had a scan at 7 weeks just to make sure that everything was going ok because I couldn't bear the idea of having to wait 12 weeks (I've never been very good at suspense because I have an overactive imagination and am very capable of thinking the worst for no apparent reason). The scan was enjoyable because we got to see the heart beating away but the baby just looked like a cashew nut so it was hard to get overly excited about it.
But yesterday, the moment the ultrasound was in place, we could see the baby waving his or her arms and feet around and bouncing about in there. It was absolutely incredible and I really wish that I could afford my own ultrasound machine so that I could look at the baby every day!
I'm starting to get my head round the idea that I'm actually going to have a baby now!! I'd been struggling to believe that I was pregnant never mind starting to grasp the idea that there's going to be a baby in 6 months' time. That might sound silly but we had such a hard journey getting this far that we'd started to think that it was never going to happen for us. We'd even started to plan how we could have a fulfilling life without having children of our own but now all of our dreams are coming true.
I'm so happy to have this little miracle growing inside of me. It makes all of the fatigue, sickness, smelly breath and well-done steaks more than worthwhile!
