We had an ultrasonic scan last week to check the size of the bambino (no pics/vids this time). They found that he is above average size (like his dad) and the amniotic fluid is also above average volume but both are well within normal limits. We could see more detail at this scan - it looked as if he was chewing something (a pie?)
I'm having trouble finding a newborn Liverpool FC kit for him to wear as his first set of clothing. I'll certainly have to get one in time for Liverpool beating Manchester Utd in the European Cup Final.
This week we went to our first antenatal class. By the interval, most of the couples had turned quite pale after hearing all the gory details of what will happen during labour and birth, especially after the demonstration with the rubber pelvis.

20 Week Scan
Today was our 20 Week scan. Everything is looking fine and the baby was very lively again. It is apparently 30cm long from head to toe, which is bigger than I realised. The midwives seem to have stopped measuring in terms of fruit sizes now e.g. "size of a grape", or "size of a tangerine". I suppose you could say that it is the size of a large banana with an kiwi-fruit stuck to the end.
The big news is that it is a baby boy - and there was no doubt about that!
That means that we need to start thinking about names again because we have only agreed on girls' names.
The nursery is taking shape. It has an underwater theme, so there is plenty of blue paint on the wall, which works out well.
We had a look at push chairs today. I reckon the puschair decision is going to be even harder than agreeing on a name.
Anyway, here are the pics of all the ultrasound scans we've had. The scan today was the final one that is scheduled.

Baby movement
Lindz has been able to feel the baby moving now for about 3 weeks (since week 17) and it was at first a bit like a wispy spider walking around inside (although Lindz hates spiders). Now the baby's movement feels like she being heavily prodded from the inside!
On Sunday night, I was able to feel this prodding from the outside, which was quite exciting. I resisted the urge to prod back in retaliation.
Apparently, it's unusual to be able to feel it externally until about 25-30 weeks, so I was pretty lucky to catch it at the right moment.
We should find out the sex at the scan this week....what will it be?

12 week scan
Yesterday we had the 12 week ultrasound scan and Baby Bridge was moving around quite frequently. We are gradually ruling out names such as Ruddeger, Seven, Soda and Nick Jr.
