I know!! I still cant believe it myself! Leah bet me £1 last night that the baby was a boy, but i was so convinced it was a girl, that i accepted her bet (guess whos £1 out of pocket now!)

On the way to the scan, Pete said to me that it almost felt pointless as we both knew it was a girl, and i said it will help Leah accept it. When we got there the receptionist asked what we had already and what we were hoping for. I told her we already had two girls and would really like a boy, but think its a girl. We were then led upstairs to the scan room.

The woman was lovely, very chatty and smiley. She kept us waiting ages while she checked over babys organs etc then she said that the babys legs were open and would i like to hazard a guess. I thought boy but didnt want to tempt fate so said girl. She laughed and said it was a boy, i was so shocked i burst into tears! I looked over at Pete who had gone quiet with a smile on his face, he couldnt believe it either! I kept asking her if she was sure it was a boy, and she zoomed in on his winky, it is fairly obvious! I really wanted a boy but have been hedging my bets for ages, and was sure it was a girl, and didnt want to even hope for a boy. But now ive got one, i want to shout it from the rooftops!

On the way home i got so many texts asking for news, but i didnt answer any until i had told the girls. Leah is smug that she was right (again) and Ella is struggling to say brother, let alone know what it means! Pete is still shocked as am i, but so happy! I darent even believe it really is a boy! We had decided on Tyler, but Petes not 100% sure on it now that its definitely a boy, watch this space!

Ive had so many lovely texts (and a couple of remarks i would rather forget about) and its been such a lovely day.

I just cant wait to meet my new son!

I cant wait to find out the sex now, 5 days to go! If im honest i think its a girl, which will be handy as we have so much pink stuff already and my friend Caz has a little baby girl so will get lots of hand-me-downs! We are still struggling on the naming front, it will be Tyler James if its a boy, but no idea for a girl! I quite like Freya now, as does Pete but he has trouble pronouncing his "r"s (which didnt stop him suggesting Kara!)

Baby is getting very big and very strong now, it was kicking Ella in the back yesterday which freaked her out a little bit! Ive been getting lots of Braxton Hicks lately, and some of them hurt as well! I also have a chest infection and a nasty spot on my chin which just wont go away!

Thats about all my news for now!

I cant believe im 20 weeks pregnant already, halfway to meeting our little pickle! Who incidentally isnt that little anymore! The scan was today, i was so nervous! Im usually a little prickly beforehand but this time i was terrified something would be wrong. I think i felt that because we have two healthy children that our luck would have run out by now!

But as it happens, this little one is a survivor, everything measures average except for the abdominal circumference which is slightly above average (no prizes for guessing who's genes are at fault there!). The sonographer was very nice, but she was really pressing hard and im now aching all over! It turns out baby was in an awkward position for measurements of the heart and had no desire to move! In the end it gave in, and we got the pics we needed.

Words cant say how pleased i am baby is ok, its a little cutie too! Pete said he thought he saw two dots between the legs,  and he thinks they might be testicles, we will have to wait another two weeks before we find out whether he was right!

So my mind is at rest now! (for the time being anyway!)
