Oh, .Zanny...

I really hope everything is okay with your little one. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts!

Good luck honey. I hope everything is fine!

I hope everything goes well for you dear! I am sure your lil one is ok in there!

Well I had my scan... The sonographer took my baba's measurements and she's measuring smaller than average all over, they're expecting her to only weigh about 6lbs if she's born around her due date. There's less amniotic fluid than normal, too, which explains why my bump was measuring small.

They said apart from being small she looked healthy, she's moving a lot and her heartbeat is strong. Well, I say "she".. It's still not 100%, they "didn't have time" to see if they could determine the sex.. But while they were measuring the length of the legs there was a shot of her bits and to me it looked more like a lil 'hamburger'.. I couldn't see any obvious boy bits sticking out anyway! But then i'm just going by other gender ultrasounds i've seen.. This little one could still turn out to be a boy.

I have another scan in two weeks to see how she's getting on, they said they wanted to keep a close eye on me from now on. So after thinking i'd only get two scans, i'm now booked in for my fifth! It's been amazing seeing her grow. She's head-down, and has been for a while now.. So they couldn't really get a good profile shot of her like they did last time.. But I didn't get pictures in the end anyway, because the machine you buy tokens for pics from only takes exact change and I didn't have enough.. Grrr.

I'm actually slightly relieved that my baby doesn't have a huge head, coz apparently they run in my family, and I wasn't too keen on the idea of pushing that outta me! Her measurements are within the "normal" range, they're just right at the bottom end. So hopefully she'll be perfectly healthy.. Just small and cute

Aww, a petite little thing!

I'm so glad she's healthy! How many weeks do you have left now?

5 and a half, i'm 35 weeks on monday =)

I'm glad everything went well! Did they tell you to drink more water? Drinking more water is supposed to help replenish the amniotic fluid. And if you saw the "hamburger" i'd definitely assume it's a girl. I had a scan at 38 weeks and it was extremely obvious that he's a boy, the sack was huge! So you have to pay for pics? That's wicked lame. Oh well, at least you got to see your little girl again!

Yup, it's hard to hide a penis and testicular-thingies!

Sounds like .Finn is packing already!

I'm thinking pink, .Zanny!

They didn't tell me to drink more water actually, but I will do, I don't think I drink enough as it is and I know being dehydrated can cause problems. I just hate needing to pee every five minutes!

Yeah the pics aren't expensive, I just didn't have the right amount of change, which annoyed me coz my boyfriend hasn't been to any of my scans and he misses out on seeing her.. I wanted a pic to show him. I'll make sure I get one next time.

yay! Everyone think pink!! My boyfriend will be devastated if he doesn't get the little girl he wants.. He's such a softy hehe
