The morning had come for our Anatomy Scan and I could barely sleep the night before. I was both anxious and nervous, because this was a momentous occasion for us, but also just very happy and excited. I had started feeling baby move around 17 weeks. Really soft and light flutters, but I was definitely feeling it. I was really happy and excited to know that this little one was healthy and to find out whether bunny was a boy or a girl.
We got to our ultrasound and as I layed on the table I let the tech know what a big moment this was for us. At our last Anatomy Scan, we had found out the news of our sweet little girl and it was filled with a whole range of emotions. We had never experienced a happy anatomy scan before so we were navigating unfamiliar waters that day. She was the sweetest tech and was so understanding! I asked if she could talk to us a lot throughout to make us feel a little better and explain everything she was seeing. She gladly obliged and started to put the wand on our jumping bean. The tech laughed throughout a lot of the ultrasound because of how much bunny was moving around, which always puts a smile on my face! We kept hearing one positive thing after another: 2 kidneys, bladder, stomach, perfect brain and head, good nuchal fold in neck... the list goes on with positive praises of our healthy baby!! We both breathed a sigh of relief and happiness.
Then came time for the big reveal! She moved the wand a bit to get bunny to move its legs and there it was... "Well... I see 3 lines...It's a girl!" Ahh, I cannot explain how happy I was to know that Lyla was going to get a little sister! All along I felt like it was another girl and it was an amazing feeling to know that we were going to have another little girl. Adam grinned ear to ear and could not be happier to have another daughter!
18weeks 2days. Her sweet body after dancing around and doing the worm :)
<3 Can't wait for her arrival!
