Friday 13th - Lucky for some

We had our 4D scan today. After hearing the dissapointing stories from friends etc, Claudia and I went with very low expectations. The radiologist started off by warning us NOT to expect too much. There is a 1 in 6 chance of actually being able to see the baby' face.

As the scan started it became clear that Riley had her face squashed up against the placenta. This makes it very difficult to get a "nice" picture.

After a bit of prodding and pushing, trying to persuade her to move, Riley finally obliged, and we managed to get the following pics, which are amazing...

Just to show her displeasure at being prodded, Riley actually stuck her tongue out too. In the videos it is possible to see her opening her eyes and yawning etc.

Fantastic. Emma was lucky 10 years ago to have video of her regular scan. All Leo got in England was a couple of regular scans from which we have a few printouts. What a change.
