Barney all came along to see their little one on the screen (Jimmie said he will just wait til next time as playing on the computer is more fun).At first I went into the scan room on my own while the radiologist spent quite some time taking measurements and looking for various things (heart, stomach, bladder etc) She said baby is measuring perfect for due dates (19th December). Then she invited Dan and the kids in to see. Little Barney was very excited to see the little person who's cot he had chosen and helped put together earlier last week. He has already bought baby's first teddy bear (a very large crocodile from Ikea). He was full of chat and questions for the radiologist. He announced that our baby looks like a dinosaur, and I suppose he's quite right! Much to his disappointment baby had it's legs tightly crossed for the entire 15 minute scan and so we couldn't find out whether it is a girl or boy. But Barney doesn't need any confirmation - he knows for sure that it's a girl, and if it's a boy he will still love it anyway.
Baby had the hickups during the scan (something which I can feel he/she has a lot these days) and we could all see its little chest jerking with each hickup. The radiologist managed to get a good picture of babys face (see photo above which doesnt look anything as clear as it did on the screen at the time) and we all saw baby opening and closing its mouth, then lift its hand up towards us. Barney said the baby was waving at us and trying to say hello. How sweet.
It's such a miracle. How amazing to see my next grandchild already!!! That put a smile on my face today. Glad to see you are still doing the blog, didn't realise you had resumed yet. I dont always think to check unless I get a 'prompt'. Nice pic of you and your beloved at the wedding x Fungi

ReplyDeleteWow -- these are impressive -- all we got was a crumpled black and white polaroid taken with a box brownie. You kids don't know you're born these days.
