My DD's ultrasound pic. I really like the way this one turned out. I just wish I had one for my DS but they weren't offered back when I had his scan done. :(
Journaling reads: After major surgery in ‘98 I was told that I couldn’t have any more children. However, the medical profession didn’t take into account the sheer ‘bloody-mindedness’ of your mummy! I knew in my heart that I’d manage it somehow. You were SO wanted.
This scan was concrete proof that despite everything, you were as determined as your mummy that you’d be part of our family. Your dad and Callum and I went to hospital to see how you were and we asked if the nurse could tell if you were a boy or girl but it was difficult to tell. You were sitting cross legged, determined to keep things secret. Over the months, we attended for more scans but you were always coy and not ready to share who you were.
Almost from the beginning though, I ‘knew’ you were a little girl. Nothing anyone said would change my feelings. I bought little girl things and started picking girls names from almost day one. I was THAT sure.
It wasn’t the easiest of pregnancy’s and towards the end it actually got kinda scary for everyone concerned, not least of all your mummy who had to endure lots of weeks in hospital because of complications and it was a BIG worry that either you and/or I wouldn’t make it.
But we did make it, and now, looking back, this is where it all started. Right from the very beginning, even before conception and against all odds, you were determined to be with us.
