And there is a baby....

Finally managed to start a blog!  Who would ever have thought?
Today has been a big day.  Had the 12 week scan for the baby this morning.  Have been absolutely dreading it.  It was at the 12 week scan in February that we discovered Isaac had died.  We had no idea anything was wrong until then.  So this time around my anxiety has been high, and not even wanting to think about the possibility of a baby until I could make sure that little heart was beating today.  
My reaction is weird, but probably normal.  I have two gorgeous, healthy children.  Both born after trouble free pregnancies and births.  Never had any anxiety then before scans.  I lose one baby, and I forget that pregnancies can be ok... I just expect problems.

But all is well with this little one.  He or she has all the appropriate bits, and was wriggling around quite well.  So all good.  Now maybe I can start to plan a bit for their arrival!
