22 week fetal assesment scan

We went for the 22 week fetal assessment scan today! Its quite an important scan, assessing all the little details of the baby. Heart, brain, feet, blood etc, to check if all is normal and everything is a 100% perfect! Weighing in at a healthy 569g and is about 26cm in length.

It was so nice to see the baby in such details again. The lady who does the scan really took her time with all the details. The baby was curled up and was sucking its toe! So sweet. Also waved at us. We don't go for another scan like this again, so next time we see such detail is when the baby is here - in approximately 17 and a half weeks time!

Also forgot to mention that I started a pregnancy exercise class last week called Aquabellies. Lovely class with other preggie girls.

21 weeks - Baby room

Baby seems to be moving alot more this week. Definite kicks and movement going on! I can't tell if I put my hand on my tummy if I can feel it from inside and out... so Shane is still struggling to feel anything! Tummy also on the increase in size although have been lucky enough to have only put on 1kg so far!

22 week fetal assessment scan on Tuesday! Watch this space for more updates!

We have also taken the first step to making a baby room! Ordered a cot and compactum this past weekend and it will take 4-5 weeks to arrive. Most excited! Here is a pic of what the baby room looks like now. Excuse the boxes, but that was us unpacking from the move! But its lovely and spacious and across the passage from us. Need to replace those 'lovely' blinds too!

So we have finally hit the half way mark! Can't believe it. Feeling very excited now that we have moved into our new house and we have a 'baby room' - even though its only filled with all our stuff we don't know what to do with. Hopefully soon we will have a cot, new curtains and slowly make it look more like a room for a baby!

I went for a check up yesterday and had a little scan. Monkey Junior is doing well and is growing at the correct pace. Weighing in at a whole 300 grams! I saw baby open and close its mouth and move around quite a bit.

Next big scan on the 22nd of this month! Excited as its much more detailed!
