Its been a while since I last mentioned my pregnancy, so whats been going on… Well I had my 20 week anomaly scan on Monday, it was really exciting to see our baby again we wanted to make sure that everything was fine with the baby and also to find out the sex. however baby was having other ideas, Tads (as we have been calling the baby) just didn’t want to play ball, Tads was lying face down in the placenta, bum in the air giving us the finger, it just couldn’t be asked to move so the sonographer could get a good view, so luckily we have an appointment to go back in two weeks so that we can have a good look and find out if its a boy or girl 
Other than the usual, my pregnancy seems to moving along quite smoothly, cant believe that I’ve crossed the half-way line already, before you know it, it will be Xmas OMG…. that’s scary!!!
So whats been happening with the little one then…Well has been gaining weight steadily, swallowing and getting the digestive system working, has also developed a whitish substance on the skin called vernix caseosa this helps protect the skin during the long soak in the amniotic fluid and about the size of a large banana.
Isn’t it amazing how quick things change from week to week, its a bit like the weather, until next time
