Our 13 week scan

Had our 13 week scan on Tuesday, 31 December 2013.

Baby is doing really well and doctor is very happy with everything.  Baby was kicking up a storm and waving his/her arms.  Our doctor joked and said that baby is having his/her own New Year’s celebration.  I still can’t believe there is a little person growing inside of me.

I am so glad that we are now finally approaching the 2^nd trimester.  I am hoping that the tiredness and nausea will wear of soon and that I will get some energy back to actually clean my house, cook food and be a good mother and wife.  I feel so guilty for being so tired all the time lately.

Our next appointment is 28 January.  I will be 17 weeks then, so hopefully baby will play along so that we can find out the gender.  Hubby thinks boy, I think girl, but maybe only because I have a girl and can’t really imagine myself with a little boy.  Either way we will be happy as long as the baby is healthy and the pregnancy goes well.

We sat last night and made a short list of 5 girl and 5 boy names.  We did the same with our daughter after 12 weeks and when the gender was confirmed at 16 weeks I chose my favourite name from the list, this time around it will be hubby’s turn to choose his favourite name.

 

I am so excited and can’t wait.  Once we know the gender I am definitely going to the shops to buy a blue or pink outfit.

 

In my previous pregnancy I also did a pregnancy  checklist and I would like to do the same in this pregnancy, it helps to pass the time, although, this being my last pregnancy I really don’t want time to go to fast as I would like to enjoy each moment, even all the aches and pains:
