19 week scan pictures

Wow two blogs in 1 week, how crazy is that!! Thought I would put photos up of Tahi so all could see what he/she may look like.

Robs first thought when he saw it was "Oh no, I think it looks like me!". I had to reassure him by letting him know that 'Honey, that's a good thing!"

These pictures were taken in miod-October, at the 19 week check up. All is growing well.

These are its feet
This is the head and arm reaching up to the face. Umbilical cord is that funny swirly line next to the arm. If you look closely you can see the osephegus and its big muscles
Here it is snuggling up to by uterus (I guess!)
And here it is giving us the thumbs up that all is OK!

Can't wait to meet the little thing!

Liz and I painted

So as part of having a baby that nobody (expect our sonographer) knows the sex of . . . we have been given lots of white singlets and body suits of various sizes! Very handy but difficult to tell each one apart. So Liz came over and we spent the night painting.

Below are the finished products! Its tempting to make a career out of it.

While I'm at it I better post photos of the bump for those of you who know we are pregnant. For those of you who don't, Rob and I are 6 1/2 months pregnant. Due 7th January 2009, gender unknown and is affectionately being called 'Tahi' (being Maori for one) until the time comes as we can confidently choose a gender specific name.

All is going well. I'm healthy, have lots of energy and eating plenty. Apparently I look like my Mum in this photo to!

This was me at 6 months. Still quite small but it reckon its because of my tight abs (he he he). It also means that I'm more comfortable.
