Ultrasound # 2

last Friday was my second ultrasound with Dr. Kasby, after my blood results from the nuchal test came back high risk for downs this was our choice to have a 2nd scan to check for soft markers of downs and then go from there. So once again drinking my water so I had a full bladder for the scan and then waiting nearly 40mins in reception, I got to the point were I was busting and just had to go and then start again. We got to see bub again and it is definitly growing, it is amazing to see how even in just 3 weeks it has changed so much. It is very overwhelming to see this being and know that its growing inside me, wow.. It is still slowly sinking in that I'm pregnant and going to be a mum, Its hard for it to feel real at times because I can't feel bub move yet and only have a little belly but when I see bub up there on the monitor little heart beating away, moving around It feels so very real. So everything looks good, the heart is good the chambers all function well and blood flow is good, which now puts me over the 1:300 mark, bub wouldn't cooperate and get in a good position for Dr Kasby to see the nasal bone which he said would be just icing on the cake, but he was confident everything looks healthy and our bub is developing well so that was enough for me. I can let myself relax and enjoy my pregnancy....

It is funny how the second thing people say to you after the initial Congratulations is alway's "are you excited...?" what do I say, of course we are amongst a lot of other feelings, excited,scared,in awe. If you aren't jumping up and down on the spot,eyes popping at the time they ask you this it seems to make people concerned? To be honest it's still all sinking in and there's so much to think about, to wonder about & to plan before the birth.
