The previous two days passed so slowly, I thought they were never going to end. Nights of little sleep certified my excitement and impatience, and a low tolerance of anything non-baby was its manifestation.

We left nice and early, getting over to Heidelberg a good hour before our appointment time. We filled some time by getting a coffee and a bite to eat at the nearby McDonalds; a lot of people and families have no doubt done the same thing at one time or other.

Today is Wednesday the 16th of April. In two more sleeps we have our 20-week ultrasound, the big one where we get a good idea of how the baby is coming along, and also where we find out the gender!

Not long home from our first ultrasound!

I’d been looking forward to it for the past week and all day at work I couldn’t concentrate properly – lucky I had a day full of meetings and could kind of zone out and think of our baby.
