Pink or blue?

So I appreciate that my blog title is very gender stereotypical however me and hubby could not think of any good titles that were more politically correct! 
Besides baby clothes definitely do not reflect an open minded approach to gender with mothercare almost without expection having three colours for newborn clothes, blue, pink and cream! 

So my lovely husband for a treat brought us a gender scan so we could find out the sex of our child early. 

So its all a bit posh, firstly I've been told to have a full bladder and also 20 minutes before to have a chocolate bar and sugary drink- this is so baby is active in the scan to get a good view! I did do a very good job of filling my bladder and although they only ran about 10 minutes late I was suffering!! 
We went in and the bed had a comfy furry cover on - still had that kitchen roll type tissue on top though! There was a massive plasma TV screen in front of you to see the baby on. 
So the sonographer showed us the head first then the arms and legs and I just couldn't wait to get to know the sex. She kept on looking for quite a while to get lots of views to make sure and then she told us .........

                                                                                             GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We already feel incredibly blessed to be having a other baby and we are very excited to be having a girl as it means we can get nice girly things!

It was such a treat to see baby pebble, we even got to have a little look in 3d, this gestation isn't a great time for 3d but the sonographer managed to get a good view of the baby's face (even if pebble is a little skinny looking at the moment!) 

Then pebble got camera shy


So the inevitable happened- after the scan we went to Mothercare....

 
Girl clothes are just so sweet- I did notice that it was near I possible to get a newborn outfit that wasn't pink so we got a pack of 3 baby grows with some peach in too and a creamy pink outfit! 

So excited!!
