We
went for a scan today. What a relief that all our babies are fine! It was so
good to see them all again. Our fetal medicine specialist asked me for a
third time after he’d finished scanning if I was sure I wanted to continue with
the pregnancy! I almost screamed. They are really making me feel quite
pressured now, and I think it’s a little wrong to continue asking me after 6
weeks and after seeing that all the babies are doing so well. Anyway they did a
full anomaly scan today on all the babies, even though this is normally only done
at 20 weeks. This is when they check all the limbs, organs and skeletons and
measure everything as well. Everything was there and the right sizes for their
gestation! YAY! There’s also no sign of TTTS at this stage, so fingers crossed
this keeps being the result. We also found out some very exciting news. Our
baby number 1 is a.... BOY!
They
wouldn’t tell us themselves as it to early to 100% confirm but they said they
would look in between the legs so we could have a look. There was no mistake
that he is a little boy, but we couldn't really tell for the others as he was
rushing by the end so wasn’t talking us through everything as he was going
along.We are so over the moon that we are having another little boy. I was
worried that Luke would be bombarded with a house full of sisters. I have an
instinctual feeling that the other 3 are girls...Mart thinks more boys. I
definitely think that the identical twins are girls, but we will just have to
wait and see until the next time I have a scan in two weeks.
But
until then here are the pics of my four little stars.
Baby
1 - Our boy
It
was so hard trying to concentrate in work for the rest of the afternoon! I kept
looking at the scan pics and being totally amazed that I have four babies
inside me. I wonder whether I will ever get over the shock.
When
I picked Luke up from Nursery all the staff were waiting to see my scan pics.
They are all so friendly and encouraging. Lyndsay the nursery head also let me
know that she has contacted all the childcare training colleges for me to ask
if they would have any students looking for placements. Apparently I could get
someone to help with the babies a few hours a weeks for up to six months. That would
be amazing!
