365 China Photo: One-A-Day

We went back to hospital this afternoon for Canthy’s 20 week scan. Having a scan is always an emotional experience and Canthy always starts crying. Despite the doctor and I telling her there is nothing to be afraid of she cant cant help it. I also find the experience emotional especially as today the scan would tell us if our little tiger has properly formed and all his body parts are there and working. It sounds silly but the doctor scans the baby and counts it’s hands, arms, legs, feet, etc etc. Throughout the process Canthy is gripping my hand and my heart is in my mouth as we hear the doctors say “one hands, two hands, one foot, two feet…” It was really hard to see anything on the screen as it all looked blurred so we just listened and hoped for the best. Finally when the doctor told us that the baby is good and strong with all it parts working well, we feel so relived. Canthy eventually stopped crying and we walked out happy and relived. Only another four months to go and a few more scans but everything is looking good.
