4D Ultrasound

The long awaited 4D ultrasound...you can only get it between 25-28 weeks...and so I waited, and I'm finally past 25weeks!!! yay

So I called, my excitement brimming over the telephone. Wednesday 11 September, I was told! The morning thereof I was up since 4am, excited like the child on her first day at a new school!

And there we were. The sonographer tells us that there has to be fluid in front of  the baby's face in order for us to get pictures of her...and if she's awake we'll even get to see as she blinks. Mind you on our way to the practice she was awake and kicking...when it was time to take her pictures, missis was fast asleep with her face pressed against her hand, and that pressed against my uterus. So now, there's no fluid in front of her face...and she was sleeping, she also refused to wake up for nothing and nobody!!! Stubborn much? Yellow says from the little that he did see, she has his sister's nose...how cute.

And that's how time ran out for us, I was told to eat chocolate and have some coke when we come again next week (now they tell me!!!) So for those of ya'll planning on getting 4D ultrasounds, know this before you go. Sigh, now it's to wait again before we get to go...we're scheduled in for the 18th, hopefully this time around we will actually get a sneak preview!!!

Keep an eye out for her readers:):):)

Silver lining?

I just read my last blog...and if that was a 'pothole' I have no idea what to call the past few weeks! I am five days away from 7 months, almost reaching the third trimester!!!

I don't know if it's the culmination of hormones, the actions of those I love most around me or just everything meshed together into one big ball of a mess...
It's so hard, I never imagined that I'd feel so low in what is suppose to be 'the happiest time of my life'.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has actually been through this stage, I spoke to a friend of mine who went through similar trials. I've shared so much with my readers, let's take it a step further.

I felt lower than low and alone, like I had absolutely no one left that genuinely cares for me, or this is what it felt like for me. I know I've had the best support system ever, but when the one person that you want and need the most is not there, it feels like the world can end. That's why my respect for single mothers grows more and more each day, how do you do it??? You have to be some kind of super woman!!! So we went through what was the roughest of rough patches in our relationship yet, a true test of 'what is meant to be does not come easy'. Here we stand on the other side of all the BS and what not...eish, it's not easy!!!

I don't want to dwell on the negative so much, I'm trying to avoid all things stressful, but we are emotional beings, baby is at some point to be exposed to these feelings. But like I said before, SEEK HELP if you're drowning in these emotions!!!
