Dashing...

 "Hello there mum, it is nice to see you - but no - I will not roll over into the position you want so the lady can take my photo"

And Dash did not change his mind through his photo-shoot yesterday so I got to lay in different positions to try and get the sprout to smile and show us his little self.

Getting to hear my second son's heartbeat was wonderful, racing along - just like Charlie's did when he was in there. 

Just watching those little chambers flush in and out too fast to really see clearly, counting ten fingers and toes, seeing two eyes and that all the bones are where they are meant to be... knowing that I've made another one that seems OK... Made me a little teary.

When you are a first time mum you have so many horrible statistics about losing the baby, the second time around you can't help but be a little bit scared (even if everything went spot-on first go). So a scan that went as wonderfully as this has made me very happy.

I do love my beautiful boys. All three of them. What a lucky lucky lady I am.
