19 weeks 3 days today which means I've had the anatomy/gender scan a couple of days ago, it went really well and Squirt was fully co-operative, actually so co-operative that the first thing that popped up on the screen was his boy bits....yes that's right people boy bits!!! This little dude isn't shy at all!!
I hate to say I told you so....okay...actually that's a big fat porky; I actually love to say I told you so!!!!! This belly is batting for Team Blue! It's very exciting and probably somewhat of a relief to Sara as she's been buying boy clothes since week 14 and it's also going to be less emotionally taxing for them at the birth as a girl would bring up so many memories....not to say that we wouldn't have been happy if it was a girl, that would have been just as great, it's just honest to say that yes it is easier because it's a boy.
I absolutely love the anatomy scans, seeing every little aspect of this tiny life that has grown in just a few weeks, the human body is absolutely amazing! seeing Squirt yawn and cuddling into the placenta, seeing him stretch out his legs and seeing those 10 little fingers and those 10 little toes is so magical and it doesn't matter how many pregnancies you've had, those scans simply aren't repeats of 'what you've done before' because this is a unique little life you are watching before your eyes, a completely different human being, a whole new beginning and an entire new addition to the family.

| Squirts feet! so cute!! |
The sonographer was amazingly nice (a huge contrast to the stone faced lady at our very first scan!) and even sneaked in a couple of 4D images for us! As soon as Squirts face came onto the screen the room was just filled with gushing parents (and Aunty of course!). He's very very cute and I actually think he looks a little like Daddy even though he hasn't started putting on much of his baby fat yet!

| Looks like Daddy! |
For Lance's parents this is going to be their first grandson and for me and Sara's parents it will be their 4th grandson (includes my baby boy Hudson whom I miscarried). I wonder what little personality he will have; will he be a motor head like his Daddy, Uncle and Grandad? or will he be an amazingly awesome bookworm like his surrogate Aunty or super smart like his Aunty Tasha? ...or the dreaded shopoholic like Mummy? maybe a bit of all?
What colour eyes and hair will he have? How tall is he going to be? A giant like Daddy's side of the family or a tiny little package like Mummy's side of the family? ooooo all of these questions add's so much excitement to his pending arrival! Babies are just so much fun, exhausting - oh yes indeed! but oh so much fun!
19 weeks and 3 more days of sleep till we meet this little man!!
