Latest Scan Results

Haven't written in ages- so much to update with!
Trip was amazing- Paris, Rome, Florence and Venice were great. We saw all the sights, ate so much food and belly even popped- I officially look pregnant!
It was also great seeing friends and family in LA. The in-laws surprised us by buying us the pram we wanted (Baby Jogger City Elite)- it's such a great pram! We also went to town buying a ridiculous amount of baby stuff with the Aussie dollar being so good. Originally we bought a few gender neutral clothing items, then thought- screw it! And bought a whole lot of girls clothes and a whole lot of boys clothes. I'd love to have one of each so you never know!

We had our morphology scan today. It would be too easy to have everything go smoothly now, wouldn't it???? The morphology scan is where they look at organs and body parts etc to make sure all is ok. Very relieved that the majority of things are perfect, and oh my god- the 4D scan is just amazing! We could see so much detail- especially on the face. Just adorable.
Well, unfortunately it turns out our bub has a little hole in the heart. Luckily it's very small and the doctor told us holes this small usually correct themselves between now and 2 years of age. Apparently 1 in 200 babies have them.
 But of course, just another reason to have a bit of a stress. We're booked in for another scan at 31 weeks to check on it. Fingers crossed that it has gotten smaller, or even gone.
We told the doctor we didn't want to know the sex, so she made us close our eyes during certain parts of the scan- apparently baby had it's legs apart and would of been a give away. I was leaning towards thinking this bub was a girl, but a few things and ways things were worded by the doctor now makes me think it's a boy. So based on what I'm feeling, and what the doctors have said (I swear I read into every single word they say WAY too much!) I am 50/50 split down the middle. So, that's probably a good way to be so I don't have expectations either way!
Next entry I'll update with pregnancy stats and bump pics!
