On Monday 9th Feb we were scheduled to have, what we thought was our 12 week scan. So after downing 500ml of water and holding for 1 HOUR, we set off to see our baby for the first time. We were both really excited and had been looking forward to this day for a few weeks now, as you can imagine. We had borrowed a video camera and were looking forward to taping the scan and the sound of the heartbeat. After a short wait we were called in and i was squirted with gel. We had a really grumpy young girl performing the scan, she wasnt very pleasant at all. She told us the baby was too small (i freaked out) then she added too small to be 12 weeks, and she decided we were only 11 weeks (okay Ami baby is just fine). She was getting annoyed because she couldnt take the measurement she needed as baby needed to be 4.5cm and was only 4.09cm, so she sent me to the bathroom to release half of my bladder!!! (easier said than done) After waitng for another 20mins she called us back, pushed on poked around a bit more, but still no smile on her dial. We were asking "is that our baby's arm, leg etc?" I asked if we were able to hear the heartbeat, after a big sigh, huff and a puff she agreeed. Wow what an amazing sound, a strong 153 beats per minute, PERFECT. Ad jokingly said "so it only has one head then?" She answered with "I cant tell you anything with the baby this size, you'll have to wait till your next scan" Geez, no sense of humour in this one!! Anyhow she wouldnt let us video the scan due to legal ramifications (yeah like we could sue her for being HORRIBLE!) After another huff n puff she agreed to print us a picture, after stating "you wont be able to see anything anyway" So here we have the very first picture of our baby to start the album. Head on the right. How cute :)
