Week 8 - Jelly Bean



On 19 September 2003, Sharon and I were on our way to the hospital to get a first glimpse of our baby. This was a big occasion for us because we had been trying for a few years to start a family, and then finally one day, it happened. We were very excited!

After a short wait in the Nuclear Medicince Centre at John James Hospital, we were shuffled into a small dark room, and then the ultrasound began...We didn't know what to expect for our first ultrasound, but we soon found out. At the 8 week stage not much can be seen except for a small pulse, which was the baby's heart beating. This was the first baby photo of Junior, and because of his shape, we named it Jelly Bean!!
