I Never Thought A Nose Was So Cute Before

Baby at 13 weeks
Baby at 13 weeks

So, I had my NT scan today to check for Downs Syndrome (I am going to call it an excuse to see my baby’s heartbeat again).

The little one kicked and wiggled it’s way into many and varied positions (none of which the sonographer wanted, but all of which were very cute). Luckily I had the patient guy who is willing to answer questions and he spent alot of time smiling at the little one and pointing things out to me.

Like the nose, as seen above.

I am so very relieved to have seen the little one so active and to see a nice strong heartbeat (165bpm for anyone interested).

AND even bigger news! I had thought I was feeling flutters for a while now, but was also telling myself that it was wishful thinking, today the ultrasound confirmed that I can feel about 70% of the moving the baby is doing (I was feeling and watching at the same time. Very cool).

So all is well in my world today.

    I must say, that is as close to an actual baby looking ultrasound picture as I’ve seen.

    She has your mum’s ears.

    The new look is f***ing ace actually!

    Many congrats! All my ultrasounds were NEVER that clear. That’s one for the family photo album. If you still keep those, what with being a bloggy high-tech family and all.

    Has it really been 13 weeks? Geez, time is just flying by – and I haven’t had one bit of morning sickness. This, THIS is the way to be pregnant!!! From 10,000 miles away!!

    (I just thought about that for a minute, and you know, it’s pretty a-fucking-mazing. You’re on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD and we can talk every day.)

    Ooooh, this is so exciting!!! What a cute, happy, squirmy baby you have!

    I enjoyed my NT scan too. The baby was moving so much, it lasted an hour or so. I loved seeing the baby move.

    And, I too love your new design!

    I’m so pleased to see your baby – s/he is so precious and it’s always a privilege to see other peoples scan pictures. I’m on a catch up (again – so slack) and am sending you love and hugs and wishing I lived in a house as next to you as it gets in the country so we could put the world to rights together some evenings.

    Yay! Does Amy have a nickname for the baby? I’ve forgotten if you’ve mentioned that.

    Very cute nose.

    Love the new look, too!

    I was at the vitamin store the other day and a grandmother was in asking about homeopathic sleep aids for her small grandchild–who has a hard time sleeping. And you know what? THEY MAKE HOMEOPATHIC SLEEP AIDS FOR CHILDREN!! Want me to send you some?
