Yesterdays fluid check

fluid check went fine, she said it's lookin better than it did last week and as usual at fetal medicine they seem to forget theres a baby in there and not just a 'condition' so never got to see his face etc, just quick look at his heartbeat and the the fluid and then it was over, never got to see his face last week after the lung measurements either, disappointing as i guess just gettin to have a wee peek at his beautiful face after things like lung scans would just sort of make it a wee bit 'easier', just hate how he gets treated like a condition rather than a baby, my beautiful, loved so much, wee baby boy.. BUT...

got to talk to Sandra afterwards and was saying to her we never get to see him and as usual, the lovely person she is, offered to take me back through for her to give a quick scan to see him, she's done this a few times, it just helps so much, she's a star,

Mum came with me yesterday so was nice to have her see him as well and i think she was taken with the scan and seeing him etc, he had a full bladder and was flashing his crown jewels lol, kept putting his hand up by his face and generally just looking very cute as usual and i got a pic. She said he's happy in there and doing fine and is a good size, estimating at 7lb 1oz this week, exactly a week before was 6lb 12oz.

Just before leaving i asked if i'd be back there now and she said no, the fetal medicine unit has been a big part of our lives the last few months i think i'll miss it in a weird way, won't miss the fear of the lung measurements etc but still, visited there with Nathan and now with Sunshine, just hope sooooo much we never have to visit that unit with any future pregnancies, if there is any lol

So i'm now 37+3 can't believe we'll be (briefly) meeting our little man for the 1st time in just over a week, so scary, can't believe the time is here, going to miss his cheekiness while safe inside he's such a wee character. Just wish i could be excited about meeting him.

Not sure i'll be updating again before i go in as will be nothing really to report and i'm sitting here as ready as i'll ever be, bags packed etc.

 Thanks to every1 who's following Sunshines journey and for keeping him in thoughts and prayers etc.
