Happy Saturday! Yesterday's appointment was great - my GP confirmed what the tech was so confident about, that everything looks perfect. I finally got to hear the heartbeat too!! Good strong beautiful heart, the rhythm of it just shot through me. Next scan late November, along with the 3screen. Hopefully we'll get a pink or blue flag to wave too??!
Had lunch with my girlfriend and her little baby girl, sometimes hard to see her - we were initially due the same week, but she's over the moon for us now and it's perfect big brother practice for Isak. He was amazing, tickling her softly, singing songs, digging up his old baby toys for her. I think he'll be an amazing brother. She also gave me a bundle of mat clothes, which my expanding tummy is grateful for.
In other real life news, an old friend and his wife have unexpectedly had their babe 3 months early, but he's rocking the nicu and going really strong. They've taken it all in stride and typical to their humor have declared "Third trimester is for chumps". Beautiful shot of big daddy hand with wee fingers within. Sending them big love.
And... WE'RE TELLING MY PARENTS TOMORROW!!! With help from the last scans. I can't wait. (Also because we're having Indian food, which I've been craving like mad.) A great happy weekend to everyone!! Cheers!
