Today marks Duncan as being 12 weeks old. It’s so hard to believe that he is 12 weeks! In exactly a week he will be 3 months. He’s growing up so fast that I don’t even want to blink for fear of missing something.
I mean, I might miss something like this:
Or even like this:
And that would just be a bad thing.
He’s starting to prefer to fall asleep in bed than in my arms. I suppose that’s a good thing but it sure does make me teary eyed! However, he sleeps better where he can sprawl out and for that, I don’t mind!
Well today was it! The first scan for the baby and let me tell you I was very nervous about it. I was scared that she was going to put the thing on my stomach and then tell me bad news.
I got all worried for nothing though as once she put the wand thing (don’t know the name) on my stomach there popped up baby!
She did her measurement thing and all was well. Everything looked great! Two legs, two arms, one head, ten fingers and ten toes were all accounted for!
When we first got in there she had asked if we brought anything to record on. We weren’t told about this so she popped one of their discs in and recorded the whole thing for us to bring home. I thought this was quite awesome as now we have the ultrasound pictures as well as a DVD of it all. The video can be found:
This little baby was bouncing all around in there. I am not looking forward to the karate kicks this kid will be jabbing into me. Okay, I am a little…a lot! It’s going to hurt though. Those little legs and hands were going, going, going!
They did find a cyst on the left ovary though which she said was the size of a golf ball and they have to keep an eye on it. Due to this cyst they scheduled me another ultrasound at 18 weeks. That is on November 30. Hopefully by then they can also tell us the gender. I’m not sure how these things work but I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
How exciting! In about six weeks, a month and a half away, we will know whether there is Audrey in there or Duncan.
