We had our first appointment with the midwife this morning and she seems very nice.  Her name is Bec, and she is the midwife that I have all my appointments with, ring when I go into labour, and she does the home visits after the birth.  If she is away for any reason, her off-sider is Tess whom we met when I was pregnant with Nathan and we really liked her.  So I’m feeling good about this new system of care.

We had the morphology scan for Bugalugs 2 last Friday, and although we were told on the day that everything was fine Bec couldn’t find the report on the computer yet.  I’m always impressed by what can be seen in these scans.  The baby wasn’t quite as active as it had been for the NT scan, but it did a bit of wriggling around and at one stage it was drinking the amniotic fluid and we could see his/her jaw going up and down.  We didn’t find out the sex of the baby, although Andrew thinks he can tell from one of the scan photos.  I, on the other hand, don’t think he really knows what he’s looking at.  😀

All in all everything is going well, and I don’t have another appointment with Bec for 6 weeks, which brings us to early September.
