Since my last post we have had our morphology scan and another quick scan with our ob. Both concur that embie is doing well, and is within whats considered normal for this stage of pregnancy. They also both concur that it is a girl!
We have been calling her Ruby ever since!!!
With the morphology scan we got a cute lil 5min dvd that shows her moving around and all her lil body parts like still shots of both legs, feet, arms, hands etc.
I'm so excited to be having a little girl, although would have been just as excited to be told it was a boy! I love that it makes it seem more real, knowing the sex and I also think it is helping with the bonding of all three of us!
I've been feeling really healthy over the last few weeks. My belly feels like its grown heaps, but when I measure once a week, its not growing that quickly really. I have still only gained a total of 1.4 kgs so far, and I lost a lot more than that in the first trimester as well.
I expect to be gaining around 1/2kg a week for the rest of the 2nd trimester????
Ruby should be about 17 cm from head to rump right about now, and if she's anything like her parents, she'll probably have some long legs to boot!
I've bought lots of pink stuff to even out the blue clothing I already had from previous pregnancies and am now happy that she will be pretty in pink.
Within the last 2 weeks I am now confident of the movement she is making and some of her kicks are unmistakeably strong! My husband felt his first kick at 19 weeks 6 days. We seem to feel them the most in the late afternoons/evenings and the position I sit in on the couch seems to be ideal (that is where we have both felt the most and the strongest!).
Loving being pregnant and can see me wanting to be in this situation a lot more in my future, which is a big change to the first 12 weeks when I was so scared shitless that I didn't think I'd want to be pregnant ever again!
