Its funny how some times things go slow and others they go really fast. Waiting for the 12 week scan took for ever. We had our little calendar that we were crossing off the weeks and it was a very nervous and exciting time.
The 20 week scan came around so fast. We had spent a week in Samoa which make the time fly and with school starting the first couple of weeks just slipped by. Before we both realised it was time to the 20 week scan and to see our baby again.
Chelsea is definatly showing now with a nice round tummy. Its very firm to touch so we know that baby is in there and growing well. She has also started to feel it move a little and I'm sure one night I even felt the baby move.
After school we rushed across town to the Rototuna Radiology where we were booked in for the scan. We arrived just in time and were sent straight in. It was amazing to see baby again and so large.
We were both amazed at how much we were able to see. All the bones as well as the heart, kidneys, bladder and brain. It was reasuring to know that everything was where it was meant to be and that baby is growing well.
As for the sex... I made sure that we didn't find out. Chelsea feels a little bit let down that she doesn't know and going through all the scan photos she was trying to find any signs of a penis.
Everything is done now, no more scans... Its just a waiting game...

Update
Wow its hard to believe its been so long since I have written a post and yet nothing has happen but stuff has happened.
I guess one of the biggest events is the trip to Samoa. Your mother and I took a trip to Samoa for 8 days where we stayed on both islands. While in the play you were settled except of a bit of turbulence when you kicked in your mothers stomach.
Samoa was really warm and we got to swim in some beautiful waters as well as with turtles.
The next biggest news is the fact that we are going for your 20 weeks scan this Friday. Its hard to believe that we are half way and that we will get to see you soon.
Your mother and I have decided that we don't want to know if you are a boy or girl but we both have a suspicions. I guess the next post will be some more pictures of you. We had another visit from Katrina last night where we discussed the pain management for your birth. Your mother doesn't want an epidural or any major drugs that could affect your health but I guess we will just have to wait and see how much of a 'pain' you will be when you come.
