Week 27 Scan

Hi everyone,

Just want to give you an update....or actually a history on little Jade!

History in short:

• Found out we were pregant: 25 March 2008
• Felt her move the first time: Was in Week 16 - not sure of the exact date as at first it felt like bubbles then after a few days I realized its her introducing herself to mommy.
• Found out she is a girl: 19 June 2008
• William felt her move: 2 July 2008 @ 21:49, we were lying in bed when she introduced herself to her father
• Due date: 27 November 2007
• Name: Jade Catherine Alexander - We both liked Jade from the beginning and Catherine is her Great Grans name from mommy's side and also her Aunt from Daddy's side - Her due date is on William's Aunt - Cathy's Birthday so we thought it would be nice to give her the name Catherine after these two amazing women in myself and Williams life!
  

Now for some new news. We went for our check up yesterday, Dr. Markram is very happy with her. Since her last visit she has picked up almost 500g, which makes her now a whole 1kg!! Yesterday she was 26weeks and 5 days old, but he said she measured like like a baby that is 27weeks and 4 days old - which is great news, because it means that she is very healthy!

We also booked my bed for the Hospital yesterday, that was very exciting, it makes everything feels so real! I must admit I am a bit scared to go to Hospital as this will be my first visit ever to a hospital, but I am sure it will all be okay! lol

This morning, we went for our 3D sonar at Medforum. Daddy and Ouma Nettie went with, they were both very excited to see her. The placenta was a bit in the way, but we could still see her nose, eyes and chin very nicely and her chubby cheeks! lol. It looks like she has mommy's nose and her daddy's chin! It really is amazing, we are so fortunate!

Our next visit to Dr. Markram is on the 25th of September and the hospital gave us a free 4D scan which is on the 17th of September then Granny Irene will go with to see her!

We all have our own time when we think she will be born, the doctor said her due date is the 27th, but we can be ready anytime 10 weeks from now. Her daddy thinks she will be born on his birthday 29 October, Grizelda thinks the 14th of November, Ouma Nettie agrees with William end October/beginning November and I think only by the 21st of November (or maybe I am wishing for then) Either way we all cant wait to meet her and hold her and love her!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day and week, will write soon again!
