It looks like baby is a little girl but we aren't going to rush out and buy pink just yet until we are more convinced hopefully by the next scan. Bruce and myself don't mind whether we have a boy or a girl as long as baby is healthy!! I know everyone says that but seriously with the problems that we have had with Jason we really mean it, as long as baby is well, full term, big and healthy. I want to have a BIG baby this time and I really, really, really want to get big and carry till 39/40 weeks. Have my caesar according to plan, be able to set up the nursery at our leisure and also have the baby shower before the baby is born! Everything with Jason was done backwards and rushed. I want to be able to breastfeed and if that's not possible at least bottle feed without any kicking and screaming and feeding for hours! With Jason I was never able to experience the bond a mother has with a child happily feeding away. Crawling, walking and talking on time. Heck I don't even know when the right time for those things are. At lease all my baby books will come in handy now. All my what to expect books were totally wrong about Jason LOL.
It's really wonderful to be pregnant for the second time. Having gone through what we went through with my pregnancy with Jason, to us EVERYTHING seems different. My tummy is already bigger than it was when Jason was born and I have felt movements from 14 weeks. Lots of kicks here and there but internal movements where Bruce can't feel yet. I am so looking forward to him being able to feel and see baby movements as well. Scans have been very exciting and special for us and not a concern every time we go. Of course the first few were nerve wracking for us but everything is perfect.
I must admit I was nervous about the comments I would get about me being pregnant. I have had the odd "are you crazy" comment. Ok not in those exact words but I know what they mean! Some of my favourite comments have been "you are very brave" and "I admire you". Mostly I have had wonderful comments from all over full of excitement for Bruce, myself and Jason and great well wishes.
I am looking forward to seeing how Jason will react to baby drinking and eating and really believe that a sibling will be the best thing for Jason. I have been told that siblings make the best "therapists".
