I was arranging my move to Ireland getting things boxed up and throwing things away glen was helping "will you sit down liv" he told me as I was sorting the kitchen out "I'm fine" "we've got the scan in 2 hours your blood pressure will be through the roof please just sit" I gave in and sat down at the table glen started holding things up and I was telling him what to keep and throw away "where am I gonna put my stuff" I asked "were taking it to Ireland it can go in my house" he told me "why don't you go and have a relaxing bath and I'll carry on" he told me "you mind" "no go relax" I disappeared upstairs running myself a bath I soaked for a while before getting ready for the scan glen drove us to the hospital I have my name and waited for us to called for our turn "Olivia Hudson" I stood up we were taken through to the room "how you doing Olivia" "I'm good thanks" "how've you been since the scare no bleeding or pain" I saw glens face crumple with confusion "no everything has been fine" "good lets weigh you and then we can have a look at baby" "ok" I stepped on the scales "you've out on 6lbs that's not as much as I would have liked you eating regularly aren't you" "yeh can't stop" "it's not concerning me too much but I would like you to have put on more the next time I see you right if you want to pop on the bed for me" I went and laid on the bed she put the gel on my tummy and started scanning me "so because your 20 weeks we should be able to tell the sex of baby if he or she is in the right position are you wanting to know" "we do yeh" I told her we'd discussed it earlier on in the week and decided we did "well I've got a good view your having a girl she's growing perfectly" she spun the screen round so we could see I looked at glen e was beaming "it's a girl liv" he said grabbing my hand we left with a few copies of the scan glen hasn't stopped smiling I was in shock I think it had hit me I was actually having a baby glen had noticed my quietness "you ok" he asked "yeh it's just overwhelming" I told him "I know" "I'm having a baby I'm actually having a baby in 4 months" "no were having a baby liv it's gonna be ok I know it's scary I'm scared too and I've done it before" "I don't even know how to change a nappy" "I didn't either we'll do it all together liv" "I know I think reality has just hit I'm gonna be a mum" he opened my car door for me before getting in the drivers side he drove us to Nandos for tea we started discussing baby names both of us hating each others suggestions
