A couple of what seems like days - in reality weeks - ago, I posted announcing our pregnancy, and here we are already at 20 weeks and 1 day. As shown here, he’s still there growing all the time, kicking Hannah whenever he wants… and just generally making her tired.
For those unable to really understand these ultrasound scan jobbies, the head is on the left facing the screen, and the larger right hand blob is the upper torso. The whiter line at the bottom, and the tiny little paw-print looking thing is it’s hand.
This photo is actually from the second scan over 2 days - we had a regular 20 week scan yesterday, and the sonographist spotted that the kidneys were slightly larger than normal. We doubt it will be anything major, but we were referred to a consultant we saw this morning to check the scan in more detail. The placenta is a bit low, so we’ll be having a 32 week scan, and possibly even a 36 week scan as well… we’ll see.
The other thing we got from the scan is our initial suspicion that it’s a boy may indeed be wrong - neither the sonographer yesterday or the consultant today could find any winkies, and today it was in a very good position for checking. The rather annoying thing about that is that we’ll have to think of a girls name (on which we have still not agreed, and probably never will, heh!). Freya is a name we both seem to like at the moment… but we shall see!

I like it spelt Freyja… But that’s maybe just me being different.

Yes, that sounds different and it sounds O.K. with the surname, Freya Titcumb! It’s bit of a difficult surname to put with some names I prosume it has a nice meaning as well.
