It’s going to be a Boy!
Tomoko and I went to the Catscan place today to have the 19 week baby scan!
This is the scan, where they can tell you if your baby is going to be a boy or a girl! They also take a whole lot of measurements of the baby, including it’s heart rate, size, head size, number of fingers and toes, etc… He’s normal size, and weighs just on 320 grams.
We just had to know what the sex of our baby was (you know, gotta sort our the names, colour of the nursery, the type of toys, the colour of the clothes, et al) – well, not realy however, that’s our excuse!!!
Well, we asked if they wouldn’t mind telling us our baby’s sex. It’s going to be a boy!!!
Tomoko was petty sure it was going to be a boy (call it a mother’s instinct or whatever), I on the other hand, was pretty sure it was going to be a girl! (how I’d know, I have no idea <grin>).
Ofcourse, we don’t mind what sex our first baby is!!!
Mum is delighted, and I am sure dad will be too. I really hope, dad will hang around to see his first grand child! Tomoko is going to call her parents tonight. Actually, the timing is all really good, because Tomoko’s sister is about to have her 3rd about 2 months after ours is due (ours is due 10th June 09), and Tomoko’s sister in law are due to have hers 2 months earlier than ours. So, there will be babies everywhere in the Takano household the next time we go to Japan.
