Little Lammer has an identity

Yesterday saw our second scan for bean as we have affectionally been calling "it". Our appointment was for 10:15, so I left work at about 10 and luckily only had to wait 15 minutes as opposed to the normal half an hour behind schedule. I was a bit apprehensive as I lay down on the bed as you never know waht to expect, is everything still going to be ok etc.

Well a few seconds later there was baby, a lot bigger than what we had seen a mere 5 weeks ago! The scan was absolutely amazing we saw so much, we could see the vertebrae, hand bones, jaw bone, as well as the body and head so clearly now. (Well as clear as you can get on those sonor scans...ladies who have had them know what I mean). We had asked her if she thought we/her (we didnt know what the hell to look for!), would be able to see the sex of the baby, at 14 and half weeks. She actually said no she did think so as they dont like to speculate so early as it can sometimes be mis-diagonised due to the genitals being swollen, that I girls 'thing' can be mistaken for a boys 'thingy'. Anyway she asked what I thought it may be, and I said I didnt have a strong feeling either way (although I will share with you deep deep down I had a slight inkling that it would be a boy-but didnt want to voice this). I told her that Clive had a strong feeling it was a girl....why you ask? Because April is a 'girly' month he tells me! Never mind the fact that I am quite sure males have been born in the month of April.

So Marie our Doctor has a look and she says 'hmmm well your husband's intuition is...... wrong!" She said it's definitely a BOY, it was quite obvious where willy and two accompaning balls were, and showed us on the monitor. Well now that we knew what to look for of course it is obvious, you also need to know where on earth the angle of the sonar is. Wow how much more real it makes it, I must say I am so much more excited that I know what the sex is, I think than if I had not found out. So little Joshua will be making his way into the world....Doc better not say next time it is a girl all of a sudden...me thinks I will ask again just to be sure. She said though she felt 99.5% confident and we could go out and buy blue if we wanted, as it was quite 'prominent', I am sure Clive had a huge grin on his face, but could not see as Doctor was in the way.

Other comments she made about our baby boy:

He has a cute nose
He has long legs and nice calves
He has a brain - hahaha - had to put this in...
He is a thinker, his one hand was always on the side of his head as if he was thinking of course I said that is just like his mom

So overall, everything is well and we are so excited!
Happy Friday all from the Lammer family - it was just the two of us now it will be the three of us!
