Well it has been a while since we have put pics of our latest scan, which was on the 29 April. We have been to Durbs and back and Andrew even had a visit to Olivedale Hospital.... Let me fill you in.
Durban was good, we had a lovely time visiting with family and friends, I even had a baby shower thrown for me by my friend Mel - Which was lots of fun we (meaning our son) got spoilt rotten. Thank you to everyone who came and made it so special! Andrew and I both appreciate all the wonderful gifts we were given. We got to spend time with Andrew’s aunt and uncle and his cousin and her family which was lovely, also spent the afternoon and evening with Andrews sister Catherine and her family and friends. We also spend time with Andrews best friend Adrian and of course spent time with my dad.
We got back from Durbs, quite tired from the long drive but excited as we were going to the Doc on the Friday to see our little one and to get the doc to confirm that he is a little boy! From the scan pic you can see clearly what he is. Showing off most probably :) We were delighted to hear that he is growing well, the doc could even see contents in his little tummy from him swallowing amniotic fluid, and all the developments that has taken place is amazing. It was lovely to have my mom in law with us, she enjoyed seeing her grandson. So doc was happy and so were we.

Andrews little visit to the hospital started when he was complaining of lower back pain, eventually after the pain getting really intense and making a visit to the emergency room on mother’s day, he was admitted to hospital on that Tuesday with confirmation from the specialist that he had a slipped disc, where he was given strong pain medication which helped the pain a lot. The specialist said he didn’t want to operate yet but he went for physio and an epidural (pain block) and was released on Thursday afternoon. He hasn’t been back to work since as he has been in loads of pain still. We just need to keep praying and doing the exercises from the physio and it will hopefully strengthen that way and NO operation will be needed. It has been a tough 2 weeks but we just have to keep the faith.
I’m doing well (24 weeks now)- tummy growing and our little boy is kicking up storm(already training for his Man United debut – how many titles will they have by then?) , it’s so amazing to watch my tummy move every time he kicks and punches but of course every time I tell Andrew to look he stops kicking! One of these days I will get him to stare long enough at my tum to see!
Our next appointment is next week Thursday where we will be booking my bed and hopefully our 4d scan as well which we can’t wait for. And we will try not wait so long before our next update - things have just been really crazy here!
God Bless and thanks for your prayers.
Andrew, Renee and baby boy Buttons
