12 Week Scan

Before going in for the 12 week scan, I was nervous. Seeing the baby was the exciting part, but this was also the test for Down Syndrome. 

Seeing the little moving image, which actually looked like a real tiny baby now was incredible. Nathan didn’t believe that it would actually look like a baby, with a formed head, legs and arms. The sonographer showed us the beating heart, the liver, the spine, legs, arms – it was surprising how much you can make out already.

All the tests and measurements of the baby calculated a low risk status for us. Which was very good, a normal healthy bub! Now it is time to focus on growing the little thing!

At work, the suspicions were up. It was getting too hard to keep it from everyone, so we ended up telling them prior to the 12 week mark. It was great to have so much support and excitement from work mates, just made Nath and I all the more excited and couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces!
