Well today was emotional, having been through so many scans in the past only to be disappointed, I was a little nervous about todays scan - although I have already had 3 good scans during the earlier stages of this pregnancy it did not ease my worries too much.
Thankfully the first thing the midwife said as she was scanning - before I even looked at the screen - 'there's a nice strong heartbeat', that was the most wonderful feeling and really put me at ease, and allowed me to enjoy the rest of the scan - it was amazing!
She had a good look at the baby as a whole before measuring the length - I am measuring 13+1 weeks, then she showed us the hands and all the fingers, it was amazing how much detail we could see, the bones were even visible. Then she moved on to the legs and feet, which were crossed as that point! Then the head was measured and all seemed well.
Baby was being very still though, so I had a little cough and jiggled around a little, and baby started moving around kicking its legs and waving to us, it was wonderful to watch. It is beginning to feel like it's really happening now - there is a little person growing inside me, due to make its appearance on the 6th December 2010 (we'll see!!) just in time for Christmas :o)
