Had our first ultrasound today
And it went really well. Everything is right on schedule, a good size and we saw the little heartbeat! Such a huge relief to see that tiny little pulse. Not like in Japan with Toby where we could actually hear the heartbeat at this stage, but it was wonderful just to see it. We got a few pics from the scan so the baby book has started.
We were relieved to learn that there's just one baby in there. Twins is something that we really feared. The thought of having Toby and another baby is daunting enough. I think twins would just about kill us.
Toby has taken an interest in it all and went to the ultrasound with us. He looked at the screen and pointed out the 'teeny tiny baby' who he insists is a 'brudder'. We'll definitely kind out the sex but it won't be until the 22 week scan. It's going to be so hard to wait that long! We found out Tobes was a boy at the ten week scan but, again, that was in Tokyo with a super-duper ultrasound machine. NHS doesn't quite stretch to super-duper.
I must admit that I'm imagining a little blonde boy. Smaller in build than Tobes. J thinks it's a girl. Just like with Toby we have a favourite girl's name but we have no idea about boys' names. Hopefully it'll just come to us like Toby's name did later in the pregnancy.
I'm feeling quite ill and actually threw up in the shower today. I think this is just the beginning. It was really bad with Toby. J had to cancel a business trip because I was so sick that I couldn't take care of myself. The morning sickness was awful. It's going to be interesting to have to deal with that AND take care of a two year old. It's a whole new world.
