A new pic of Baby Boo

We're 15 weeks and 5 days today and quite lucky to have a second scan...even if it comes with a long list of other tests.  Small price to pay in my book!  This scan was amazing as we got to see a lot more of the litte one  - in this scan I could really make out some of the features of growing boo; arms and legs, the spine, the brain and the heart pumping away.  But, the cutest of all was a full hand view with all five fingers that you could literally count off.  There was also what appeared to be some thumb sucking and general all around movement.  Quite funny to see and as we got to the profile shot I shouted out 'how cute!' so the scanner took a picutre at that point.  Looking at BB's profiile below all I can think is how adoreable!  You can literally make out the eyes, the mouth and what appears to be a little button nose.  We're already in love!

Up the Duff

That's right, we're preggers!  So hard to believe since we just paid a visit to the doctor to see about getting some help.  Come to find out I've not been under the weather with the flu but suffering from mild morning sickness.  The best part of finding out was that it was on the day of our 5 year wedding anniversary!  So needless to say it was a fantastic pressie! 

We're 7 weeks right now so it's still early days but we couldn't wait any longer and told both sets of parents today.  We shared the news with Rob's mum and dad over lunch and they were beyond happy.  Then off to skype to tell Kat & Don but unfortunatly their web cam wasn't working so i couldn't see their faces.  But based on their verbal reaction I'd say they are quite excited.  Kat has been IMing me ever since just bubbling over with excitement!!

We'll give it a bit longer to tell all our friends but are dying to break the news.  I have so many questions for my friends who've had babies it's gonna be so difficult getting through the next 6-7 weeks.  Fingers crossed! x

It's Official!

As if it wasn't 'official' from the first couple of tests but somehow seeing the little one on the screen makes it all feel real.  That's right, we had our 13-week scan today and got to see everything - movements, heartbeat, the little arms and legs.  It was brilliant!!  I swear s/he waved at us during the scan, as if to say 'hello!  i'm ok in here!!'  So the due date is 3rd April - 2 days before my birthday in fact.  How amazing that I could share my birthday with such a precious little suprise!  Can't wait to meet him/her but in the meantime here s/he is:
