Baby

Well, most people are aware by now, but Carla is pregnant. The baby will be due in March 2009, so one year later than Jacqui and Jacque's baby boy who was born on March 1, 2008.

We don't know what it will be yet, still a few more weeks until we can tell.

Here are some of the first scan pictures we have. It was interesting to see the development and realise that something is really there. Watching it kicking and moving around was also nice. We had the scan as it was at the 12 week stage, and needed to have certain things checked like the nose and the thickness of the neck, these apparently are both important to check to see if the baby is at a high risk of down syndrome.

Our baby was not very cooperative, and the doctors really struggled to get the right angles, so we had to have a break and walk around several times to try and get the baby to shift positions. On the fourth try (4 scans later) the doctor managed to get what he needed. ( Either that, or he just gave up and told us everything was okay).
