Speck! Now showing in 4D!

Today we had a 4D scan at Future Babies in Reading, who are fabulous btw. (The fourth dimension is time, in case you were wondering.) I don't have words to describe how wonderful it was, but instead, let me refer you to the piles of tissues I've gone through since the scan started.

We have the world's most beautiful baby boy, and yes, I'm wildly biased. We've already re-watched the DVD and I've had another good sniffle.

He kicked, squirmed, wriggled, rolled over and back again, snuggled up to the umbilical cord, waved, played with his face (as usual) and happily rolled around with legs akimbo. Definitely a boy :P

And... he smiled too! See?

Speck's first smile

Further pictures can be found on Dave's flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/ukdavew

PS. Looks like he will be big (or I have gestational diabetes). Currently he's measuring at 27+4 and weighing 2lb 9oz!! Eeek.

Ok, I'm pretty embarrassed to admit this, but--

Pictures of in-utero babies make me queasy.

I can handle all sorts of nasty lumps and bumps, section bits of necrotic intestine, mop up vast amounts of bodily fluids and deal with...baby flies. With nary a twitch.

But - delighted as i am that all is going well with Speck! - that picture makes me want to stand on a table and scream.

*Blush*

I think there's something *very* wrong with my maternal gene!!!!

Wow, loads of comments! Thank-you for all the lovely things that you've said about Speck :)

Hope you didn't have nightmares, Andy!

It is so amazing what science and technology can do these days! Just amazing. We didn't have anything like this when I was pregnant with Jake, and that sure doesn't seem very long ago.

I hope you made copies of the DVD so you don't have to worry that you're wearing it out! :) :) :)
