Well today was a very weird day. The weather looked miserable and I actually started to panic for the first time this pregnancy that something was wrong.
Mark arrived home to take me to the scan and was late as usual. I am panicking waiting for us to go whilst he is busy on the phone and making himself dome lunch. It turns out he thought I was telling the scan was earlier than it was to make sure he would be on time. This led to a mad rush to the car and me ending up driving.
So I am driving along still worked up and the wind blowing at about 70 mph, from all directions the sky is black and Mark says ‘ It looks like the end of the world!’ Talk about making me feel better!
We park the car and make our way to the scan department and it is empty and very eerily like. I have never know it so bare! I just constantly felt something was wrong.
The lady called our name and off we went for the scan. She asked if we would like to know the sex and we said if we could, yes please. Squash was very low down so she kept going over the top of my trousers with the scanner and then she went quiet. Mark noticed I was worried so asked what she was looking at, she explained and all was fine…phew!
She then informed us we were having a boy, told me to get ready and went away to print some pictures and fill in my notes. At this point the tears came! Mark thought it was because I was expecting her to say girl. It wasn’t that at all, after wanting 4 children in my family there is other chances but 4 boys would be lovely too. It was because of the whole day and all the stress and also because I hadn’t decided on a boys name! Yes I know he’s not here yet and we have 20 weeks to go but I felt like this baby needed a name to be appreciated.
Whilst sat in the petrol station 20 minutes later I made a decision and chose the name Jake, I’ve always liked it but saw it as a short for Jacob. However, after reading about the name and that it is a name in its own right and has 4 letters it is the name I have chosen and Mark likes it too!
Later I felt much better, I now had a name and Rhys was going to have a brother which I think is great and I was able to get excited about shopping. Many people think finding out takes some excitement away, but this time I have to disagree. When we were unable to find out about Rhys, we got excited about buying all the baby essentials, but we have all that now, so this time I am really excited about buying BLUE things!!!!
