We (JJ, The Bean and David) had our 18 week ultrasound today. The friendly ultrasound lady checked whether all the bits were there and were roughly the right size and were doing what they should be doing. (They were). Bean waved a little bit, pushed his/her feet against the walls a little bit, and yawned a bit.
Bean's heart beat at a runner's pace, four spaces contracting and expanding like a playground paper choice-maker. Bean's fine vertabrae slotted in line along its little spine, rib cage all present and correct. A filigree 3 centimetre-long thigh bone was moved around occasionally, moving into space. Bean's brain was peered into.
It was all quite staggering.
We left the lab and wandered back to the car. Well, JJ and I wandered, Bean floated.
