T Minus 4 Months (or thereabouts)


Got a call on Dec 1st to say Triple Screen test results all normal - phew! Dec 8th was definitely the hightlight of our pregnancy so far when we got to see the Bean for the first time as a little human being at the 18 week ultrasound. We asked to know the sex and were told in the first few minutes that we were having a boy - very exciting! Very active little guy - I have a feeling he will be kicking me lots later on. Had my company staff party at the Empress that night and announced to everyone that we were having a boy while flashing around the ultrasound pics. Started to feel belly flutters but had first real kick while lying in the bath on Dec 20th. Got quite a fright - was all relaxed and literally sat bolt upright when he booted me. Was a nice early Christmas present. Spent Christmas with Ian's family up in Courtenay as my family just left for their Caribbean sailing adventure a couple of weeks ago. Stayed in a villa at the golf resort Crown Isle - bit of a romantic getaway for our last Christmas just being the two of us. Celebrated the New Year with friends at the Irish Times - had my first non-alcoholic beer - not bad! Beats the non-alcoholic wine.
