We "knew" we were expecting a girl and had already affectionately named my bump "Ellie belly" so when our friend offered to pay for a sexing scan for a Christmas present we couldn't wait to have it confirmed.
I was 22 weeks when we went to find out, lying there on the bed looking at the screen my heart sank as i saw 2 white dots I looked at my husband and his face dropped, he thought it too and said to the sonographer its a boy isn't it? She looked at us and said no im pretty certain your expecting a girl and the 2 dots you see are her ovaries.
We were right we were expecting a girl and what a lovely shaped head she has from the scan photo, we were overjoyed, my son however was not and was very disappointed to learn he would be having a sister and not a brother.
Little did we know that in another 3 weeks time i would be in hospital and Ellie would be making an appearance sooner rather than later!
Sharing our ups and downs of a premature baby and beyond....our little fighter Ellie born weighing just 600g (1lb 5oz) endured 4 operations with many obsticals in her way but after 25 long weeks in a hospital far from home she came home!
