These are the comfiest belly undies in the world! I bought a pair just to test them out, half joking/half curious, but the support around the stomach is just lovely. I will be going out to buy more of these sexy pants. This is the treat Nug got before he headed back to Japan this morning!
My belly is growing at a faster rate these days. It has really grown alot in the last 2 weeks. I can now feel him kicking my ribs and it's quite uncomfortable at times. I can't believe I only have 10 weeks to go!
I went and had a very thorough ultrasound on Wednesday, at a specialist ultrasound place. It's routine to do it at 20-22 weeks gestation but they don't really offer it in Japan so we decided we'd go and have a good look at our little one. It was quite exciting. They checked the baby all over... his nose, mouth, feet, kidneys, stomach... you name it. We saw the 4 chambers of his heart, the blood flow, the aorta. It was magical! (And of course we were very proud and relieved when they said his heart was 'textbook' perfect!) After they did all the routine checks, which took about 45 minutes (he was being a bit difficult though I appreciate it must be squashy in there), they took some amazing 4D pictures of him. These took ages to get because he wouldn't move his hands and feet away from his face, but eventually the second sonographer was able to get a few good ones. It is a bit crazy seeing him look so real, with his chubby cheeks and button nose. I can't stop looking at the photos. Love at first sight!
The past 4 weeks have gone so quickly, and now Nug is on his way back to Japan. I just hope the next 10 weeks go just as quick and our little family can be together again. It's going to be a tough couple of months and we'll miss each other so so much, but we have this amazing little surprise to think about now that will make it all worthwhile.
gorgeous little face! big belly!
