Repeat 20 week scan

Scanned again.

I had to have a repeat 20 week scan because baby was not in a good position the first time, well in every scan I have had the baby not been in best position or they have moved so much, the sonographier could not accurately measure or get the photos they needed. 

I am now 23 weeks and have had the scan. Ben was allowed in with me again which was amazing. It was so lovely to share seeing our baby again. The sonographier was training, therefore had a more senior person showing him. This meant that we got lots of time to enjoy watching our baby moving around. Especially watching his heart beat as that the area they had to still see. The student sonographier was lovely. However our baby was giving him a hard time as they did not sit still long enough. He was struggling to find what he needed to see and the other one was teaching and showing him. But it was good for him to learn on a wiggly baby they said. 

But overall our pot of gold is growing fine, is all healthy with a strong heart. They have big feet and long legs but a little head just like Ariyah. 

We spoke about Ariyah in our scan and how Ben carried and they were so understanding, did not even reacted and used correct male pronouns and dad's the whole time again this felt so good, as it settled our anxiety. We were able to relax and enjoy seeing our baby on the screen. 

The pregnancy in general is going well, I am getting lots of big movements and kicks now where you can actually see my belly move. The baby is on the move pretty constantly now which still takes me by suprise being jabbed from the inside. I am feeling really good to. 

Sickness has gone with few random feeling of nauseous mainly if I eat something sweet. Getting bits of dizziness here and there but drinking lots helps. Now I am getting into the end of my second trimester and getting quiet a bump I am getting back and hip pain. It is becoming hard to sit up and walk for long amounts of time too. My sciatica plays up at night and does keep me awake. I have not been sleeping well, tossing and turning to get comfortable then when I do the baby kicks me. So I cannot win haha. 

We have told everyone close and now official announced it on our social medias. So will make these blog post public now. Therefore hopefully update more often.  Here are some of our announcement photos.
