Last pregnancy, I remember looking at the images on the screen and thinking "what the heck is that!? What is that women looking at? I don't see a head...it's all a bit blob like..." But second time around I feel a bit like an old pro. I can actually see what the radiologist is talking about and it all strangly makes more sense. Hmmm, maybe I should study this radiologist stuff - after all I do seem like a natural. And what could be better than showing pregnant women their baby for the first time. Oh, but then I guess the downside would be having to inform a pregnant woment that something may be wrong, or further tests might be required. Gulp....I can't think of anything worse than that. Ok, maybe I won't quite my job just yet.
(This is a picture of the baby's spine....if you're not used to looking at these things, it's kind of hard to pick out....just look for the little white bumps...)
This is a profile of the baby's head and shoulders with it's hands up in the air. It almost looks like it's about to suck it's thumb. Look at the little fingers....cool, eh?
I'm feeling better. Still exhausted from pregnancy, full time work, looking after Luca by myself while James is away, and house stuff. Ahhhhhh.....HOUSE STUFF! so much to do, and think about....and I'm strangly craving bagels (rock salt with guacomole to be exact) and strawberry milkshakes. Not together, now that would be kind of gross. The milkshakes in NZ are different than those in the states. Better in my opinion. They're less ice creamy and thick, and more milky. I'm sure they must be mainly made with milk, so I feel like I'm getting a bit of calcium when I drink them. Surely they can't be too bad for you. Same with the bagels...guacomole is a good fat, right? Not sure if I can say it's the pregnancy making me crave the food, or I'm just eating because it's comforting with all the stress. Probably a bit of both!
