We have just had our 20 week ultrasound for little baby Hobson no.3. It all went very well with all body parts and organs presents and working. Up until a few days before the ultrasound we were going to find out the gender of the baby, but in the lead up I was remembering how exciting it was when Milly was born and not knowing if she would be a boy or a girl - so we decided baby no.3 would also be a surprise.
I have to have another caesarian, as it is the safest thing for for me and the baby to do given Henry and Milly where both born that way. We have tentatively booked with our obstetrician 16 November as the date of birth.
The pregnancy is going well. I had yucky all day sickness for a twice the length of time I had it with Henry and Milly, but pleased I didn't actually vomit. It was just that feeling of something rotting away in my tummy and feeling very green. My energy levels are back and now I'm just starting to struggle with a large tummy getting in the way of putting on my socks, trying to squeeze through doors with a full laundry basket on my hip, or trying to squeeze through doors when someone else is trying to come through too. My body is swelling up with all the fluid and no doubt preparing itself for another biggish baby.
Below is a 3D photo taken at the ultrasound scan. The photo shows the baby's head and one shoulder. I think it looks like a mini Grace Jones - check out those cheekbones.

Oh my god, You are giving birth to Victoria Beckham!
How amazing that these types of scans are on offer. Is it all part of the deal in Oz or do you have to pay for it. In my day no one had scans, although I did have an x-ray when Sophie was due to confirm that she was still breach, ( she was ), and it was amazing as she looked like the skull and cross bones from a pirate ship flag! Years later I tried to get the xray from the hospital as a keep sake, but it was a year too late as that archive had been destroyed.
