John: Another fantastic occasion! The Fetal Doppler was more great preparation for the scan, especially since the scan didn't involve the heartbeat or any sound (perhaps I should have brought the Doppler for some discreet heart beat monitoring as well). We weren't overimpressed by our scanner again, (maybe we're expecting too much of the NHS staff!) What a joy to see Flump again! I was reminded recently at Grandad's funeral of how uplifting it is to see babies, when Nathaniel was a blessing of joy to all of us despite our sadness. However, this doesn't compare to how it felt to see our own little blessing. I'm finding it hard to imagine how awesome it will be to see them face-to-face. Anyway, we have four pictures of Flump, all slightly different. My favourite is a good close up of Flump's face, in which I believe they look like a cute little monkey. Our own little chimp!
Stel: While John thinks Flump looks like a chimp, I think the baby has daddy's nose! It's true. When you see the photos, you'll see. The best bit was when the baby opened it's mouth very slowly and waved! Our sonographer was a bit odd...it was certainly the first time I've ever been asked to lie on my side for her to get a proper look at certain angles. Leah had the same one and was asked to do the same thing. And we have both been asked to come back in three weeks as she couldn't see the heart properly because of the way the baby was lying...I think it's the sonographer, not our babies!?
Anyway, Flump is currently breech (which I think is why the sonographer couldn't see the heart properly) and measuring in the normal range for all measurements! So we praise God for that and really thank Him for this incredible life he has knitted together. We are so amazed at how He has provided everything our child needs and we really look forward to meeting our precious little wonder to see God's intricate work in detail...thank you for all your prayers and kind words!
(By the way, we have found out the sex of the baby - those who want to know can find out!)
