Hello Munchkin!

Hi Guys!

I haven't written in a while, but you know neither has anyone else!!!
So we had the 1st scan yesterday and it was so exciting I really can't wipe the smile off my face! It is is just so nice to know that there is a baby down there and yes everything is fine. You start to worry that perhaps I was imagining being preggers, as it's such a long time in between seeing the baby.
I reckon the best part was when we got to hear Munchkin's little heartbeat! So amazing! It is so fast 140 beats per minute I think the Doctor said (I could be wrong, because I was paying so much attention to the sound). Here's a pic of the heartbeat!

So all is well we have our next antenatal appointment on Friday, where we will find out the results of the Nuchal Translucency test, which basically is a test for Down Syndrome. We are not fussed either way, in the end having a baby is the most important thing!
Here is my favourite photo of Muchkin, she/he was moving about so much that the little blobs you can see near its mouth are its hands.

So we have booked in for our 19 week scan, and that is on the 11th November so 6 weeks today! Woo hoo! I also booked us in for our antenatal classes, we chose to do a workshop instead of the long course. So we do two Sundays in a row, which I prefer and I'm sure Matt will, so they aren't Till February, but they fill quick so needed to book in early!
Well thats all for now, gotta get back to work!
