It's a ... baby!
After getting the 12 week scan yesterday, T (aka Gaia aka Gaidrusa :) and I are excited.. we're going to be parents!
We've known from the 2nd week but we've tried to keep it semi-quiet in case things didn't work out, but they have and we've seen our baby now. We don't know the sex (too early to tell anyway) and we don't intend to find out until it's born.
I can't adequately describe how exciting this is for us (anyone who's already a parent will understand). I've always been a bit unsure about being a parent and there's been significant doubts as to whether it was even possible for us. So to see our baby waving it's arms around, even if it's just on a monitor for now, is... well, it's really, really hard to explain. Earlier scans showed a blob with a heartbeat but now we can really see a growing baby. The further along we go, the more I'm looking forward to having a little person in our lives.
All indications are for a perfect, healthy baby that is currently 5cm from head to tail-bone (ie not including legs). T's got a bit of nausea (which we hope won't last), pregnant mother's bladder (needs to pee a lot) and what she calls "baby-brain" but otherwise is in good health. In fact, she's still losing weight, although that'll change soon. Her tummy's not showing yet but pressing with your hand, you can feel a firmness there and the rest of her is slimming down.
*deep breath* Happy? Hell, yeah!
