12 week scan

On Friday we had the 12 week scan, although shell was 12 weeks +6. I got to see our little baby, it was so amazing. The lil bug was jumping and kicking. I was in owe. All of our dates are exact to the T. On Feb 4th is when Shell got pregnant,that is the day we did the AI, so its amazing. I cant wait untill the next scan which is at 21.5 weeks. June 13th is when the next scan wil be and we will get to see if its a boy or a girl. I am so excited for it. I just wish my mom and family back home could be apart of our journy to parenthood, it just seems unfair sometimes to my family. 

I can get a jealous about the fact my family is missing out an shell's family gets to be here every step of the way. Well anyways the baby is healthy and fine, they wasnt concerned with nothing. All the measurements are where their suppose to be, so we are glad everthing is fine. I cant wait till October now. 

Blood test results

Yesterday shell got her blood test results back, as we knew, she is a carrier of thallasemia type B, her moms is also a carrier of type B as well. We knew this already. Shell's mom is full cypriot greek, shell is only half but still is a carrier, she is the only one out of the 6 kids that is a carrier. Its nothing to worry about, the donor has to be the same type of carrier for it to do any harm and he said he isn't so we have to take his word on it. We are going to have the baby tested though when s/he is born. We have our scan Friday, and we are so excited.

We have the scan next week, I am so excited. I really can't wait to see our "lil one" for the first time. Shell is entering her 12 week by the end of the this week. She had a bit of morning sickness yesterday but today she seems fine. The time is going by quick, I didn't expect it to go by so quick but the first 3 months have, I be the last 3 months goes by slow haha. Well either way Im still super excited and I cant wait till our lil one is born.

Midwife visit

We had the midwife come the sunday just gone. She discussed all the things she needed to with shell. The midwife was a bit worried because of the past pregnacy problems shell had, but that was over 12yrs ago. Were not worried. The GP got the dates wrong and so did the midwife, they put shell's LMP as the conceived date, so their off by 2 weeks. The midwife said they will have to move the scan forward. 

On Tuesday we found out the new scan date will be April 20th at Noon. So we are officially 10 weeks 5 days. Oh wow so excited. Our "lil one" is growing so fast, cant wait to hold him/her. Our new due date is October 27th, instead of Nov 10th. 

Appointment dates.

Okay great news,yesterday the midwife called and gave us the scan dates and also the specialist appointment for shell's heart. The 12/13 week scan date is May 1st at 9am. The Specialist appointment is May 15th at 9am. The midwife will be doing a home visit on April 1st at 10:30am. Wish it was a bit later than 10:30am! I will just be getting home at 7:30 from work, oh well, midwife is for shell anyways. So finally been given our dates and now we can't wait for the 12 week scan so we can see our baby.

Still waiting...

It has been two weeks and we still haven't heard from either the GP or the midwife. So annoying we just want to know what's going on.  Well if we haven't heard anything by friday will call and see whats up.

I hate the waiting game, im not very patient lol. Well Shell is 5 weeks 4 days now, she hasn't got the morning sickness yet, which is good. The heart beat of the fetus beats at week 5, so our "lil one" has a heart beat, so precious. Also the brain starts to develop this week as well. So exciting!  Will update soon as I know more......
