Swimming (and a surprise!)
September 6th, 2006 by Annalena
Today mum came to my swimming lesson at the Harold Holt swim centre and took this photo and video. You can see how much fun I was having.
The reason mum came to swimming today rather than going to work was that she was having an ultrasound straight after my lesson.
Yes, I’m going to have a baby brother or sister!
I don’t really know what that means yet, but when I do realise I’ll definitely be very excited. The baby is due around mid-March next year, and so far everything is going really well.
Here are a couple of stills from the ultrasound. The first is from 4 weeks ago - although my parents thought the baby was over 12 weeks old it turned out to be only 8 weeks 5 days old and hadn’t even formed arms or legs (hence the name “Stumpy”). The second picture was from today, but isn’t all that clear since the baby was lying in a difficult position. At least it seems to have legs now, although this picture makes it look a bit like a monkey.
