So Lauren and I visited the doctor's this morning for her first ultrasound. Needless to say, the proud father-to-be (that would be me) was only interested in the print-out so he could show everyone at work, and ultimately, create this post to our family blog for the world to see. So, without further ado, here 'HE' is :)
Of course, Lauren keeps calling him 'our little bean'. If you ask me, in this picture at least, he looks more like a little peanut shell!!! Don't tell him that when he grows up though, OK? I can hear it now ... "When you were in your mummy's tummy, they took a picture of you and your Daddy said you looked like a peanut shell". That will go over really well I'm sure :)
So the next ultrasound is supposed to be at 20 weeks; or in layman's terms - in 2 more months. By then (so they say) 'he' will look more like a baby. We'll see about that; the doctor's thought this picture looked like a baby too!
I'm writing about this next part, only because if I don't, Lauren will. So, while we were watching the peanut shell swim around...yes, I said swim... we noticed he was kicking his legs in a style that looked like a sturdy alternating leg beat - as if he was swimming for dear life (You've got to start them early these days with the likes of Michael Phelps to compete with - c'mon you Brits, we'll show 'em...in 20 years perhaps!) Oh yeah - why I'm writing about this bit ... dad-to-be (remember: me) got all teary eyed - in light of the fact that our first child can already swim :)
Ok, nuff said. Time to go. Take care all. Will write again soon :)
Jamie.
PS - I keep saying 'he' or 'him' - we don't REALLY know what the sex is!

Hello Peanut, Grandad here. Let's face it, that's a lot better than your Dad's name for his dear younger brother!
If you're half as good as your Dad in the water Phelps will have no chance!
This is for Jamie... You're sooo jinxing yourself, you guys are gonna have a girl :) Although, Jason was the same way about it HAS to be a boy, but at least until we found out that it is in fact a boy, he always caught himself saying he and him and edited it to 'or her' !! Haha! You know you're going to have to find out! I'm pretty sure, from the looks of it, you've already changed your mind on not finding out..?? I hope!!! I need to know if my son's going to have a future best friend or a future girlfriend coming along!!! He or she is super cute!!
Very exciting! Can't wait to see the 20 week photo!!!
