Such a huge surprise today...Well, several surprises.
I’ve been staying at Baxter’s flat for almost two weeks now, and I finally got round to registering with a doctor and a midwife nearby a couple of days ago. I can’t exactly go home to my parents’ place and see my family GP, so I registered as a temporary patient at a surgery near Bax’s flat. The doctor was pretty horrified that I’m around halfway through my pregnancy and not registered with anyone and haven’t had a scan or anything, so he registered me with a midwife and arranged for an urgent scan.
Which was scheduled for today.
I was getting ready to leave and go to the appointment, when the doorbell rang. There, on the doorstep to his own flat, was Baxter!
He said he couldn’t let me go to my first scan on my own, and that he’d love to go with me, if I wanted him to. Hell yeah I did!
So together we went off to the hospital and they did my scan. They think I’m around 22 weeks but the baby is a little small.
I got a lump in my throat when the image appeared on screen. Then they turned on the sound and I cried so hard when I heard the heartbeat. It’s fucking real. The little bean that’s been relentlessly kicking me all day long is an actual real tiny human. I expected the image on screen to be grainy, but it was so clear. It was a breathtaking moment, and Baxter held my hand the whole time.
And then they asked us - as if we were a couple - if we wanted to know the sex of the baby.
It’s a girl…She’s a girl…I’m having a girl! And I couldn’t be happier.
