The 'First Scan'

So it happened, the first scan....

We soon forgot about needing a wee in the waiting room thanks to the PINT of water they ask mums to be to drink! (Always a good idea to ask a pregnant woman to take on AND HOLD on to even more water)

From the moment we went in, the atmosphere was relaxed, sonographer was a dab hand with the gel and went off in search of bubba.

She found him/her very quickly, jaws dropped from mummy and daddy to be. I cannot explain the moment in words other than WOW!

Everything was checked, all fine and I thought great, amazing experience I will never forget.....then I realised pregnancy has the ability to stop you in your tracks, reach into your heart and tug!

Why? A little black dot on the picture, our little baby's heartbeat. Quite simply breathtaking and a moment I will hold forever.

To see that working away while he/she is growing inside the womb is something every man should experience, in no way should a father be able to leave a woman after seeing that either

February 24 is a day I will not forget in a hurry, it was a day we said hello for the very first time to our baby
