24 & 25 Week Update

Wow these weeks are really just flying by (that's my excuse for never updating on time). It feels like I should only be coming up to 20 weeks, not a few weeks off 30 weeks!

We had our 4d scan last week and it was simply amazing. I really regret not getting one done with Leo actually, would have been very interesting to compare their pictures! As it is we can already tell that bubs looks so much like his big brother. I'm looking forward to our second 4d scan (at 30w4d) because we'll be able to have an even better look at his cute little features ^-^ I am so in love with him already!

Cheeky little man had the cord over his face for half the scan and then his feet on his head for the other half. He's such a little cutie. The ultrasound tech was amazed when we could see him starting to open his eyes and said she had never seen a baby of this gestation do that, one strong bubba we have!

Tomorrow!

So I'm 19+4 weeks pregnant and tomorrow is the day of our 20 week morphology scan! I could not be more excited :-)
I keep getting little butterflies in my tummy (some of those are little baby kicks, which are getting stronger all the time now!), partially with nerves and partially in anticipation of seeing our bubba and hopefully finding out the gender.
People assume that because I have a boy I want a girl this time, but that is simply not the case. I actually would really love another boy to provide Leo with a little brother so close in age (they'll be 22-23 months apart eek!). However, I have had a strong feeling the whole time that I am carrying a little girl and will of course be thrilled if this is true. Looking forward to baby shopping and planning for our new addition. I was very disorganised first pregnancy and having a toddler means I don't really have the luxury of sitting around reading maternity magazines and day dreaming.
I know everything will fall into place though :-)

We're also talking about buying our first home in the new year and this is just about the best thing for us! We're in a very small 2 bedroom house at the moment (technically 3 bedrooms, but one is a study/storage room) and we don't even have space for a cot here! I'm also really looking forward to knowing we are providing for our kiddies in the future AND decorating!! Expect to see a lot of inspirational pictures here in regards to that haha.

Gotta head of to bed soon, but some cute pictures of Leo before I go!

Love his little cheeky face!

Giving me death stares as I kept interrupting his relaxing time

That's a couch on either side of him, this is where he chose to sit
