20 weeks!

Today we went for our 20 week scan. It doesn't seem like 2 minutes that we had the 12 week scan -albeit at 13 weeks! It's going very fast, baby will be here in no time. We'll have to make sure we're ready, these still so much to do and get but we're not panicking just yet.

The scan lasted about an hour as the nurse was quite thorough doing the scans etc but also as baby was in a very awkward position, the head was very low and leaned back so she couldn't get to the top or back of the head to check the cerebellum.

In the end, we ended up going for a walk and having a bite to eat and drink and seeing if that would get baby moving. We were about 30 minutes and even then I don't think it had moved far at all!

The nurse eventually managed to do all the checks and measurements etc and said we had a healthy baby, about 30cm in length from top to toe! We were asked if we wanted to know the sex but we had agreed not to prior to going in but I could tell Milly would've found out on the spot had I not been there! I still don't think it stopped either of us seeing if we could se anything though! But we didn't so we're going to have a nice surprise, which is what we want. Looking forward to all the birth classes and stuff now, though not sure when they're starting.
