Nesting
We’re not doing a lot of nesting, but Ayako just finished sewing a new cover for this bassinet that we borrowed from our friends Adam & Karen. So far, Sebastian Ghastly, the cat in the print, does not seem to be scaring our cat away, and he is determined to make the bassinet his. Maybe we’ll have to wrap Sakana-chan (fish-child, formerly “the creature”) in pungent herbs to keep it from being smothered.
We’re at 31 weeks now. Ayako thinks it’s taking forever, but for me it’s going by terrifyingly quickly. She’s at the stage where she jumps occasionally due to a sharp kick or a sudden leg cramp.

Fingers, toes... check
Today we went to St Mike’s for the 20 week anatomical scan. He, or perhaps she, is doing just fine. Weighing in at 308g, everything is on schedule, present, and well-formed. The Integrated Prenatal Screening (IPS) results were in, and showed no cause for alarm. The creature was quite calm today, and seemed content to just wave to us, rather than dance around. The little hand opened and closed a few times, in a surprisingly baby-like way. See other images.

Birds and bees
Ayako: “I have a baby in my tummy.”
Sophie: “You ate a baby?”
Ayako: “No, I didn’t eat a baby.”
Sophie: “How did it get there?”
Ayako: “Well, there’s a seed in my tummy, and it’s growing.”
Sophie moves on to other things, presumably as confused by that explanation as I am. Babies come from seeds? How did the seed get there? Later,
Sophie: “Where is the baby?”
Ayako: “In my tummy.”
Sophie moves on to other things. We’ll never know what she really thought.

Spine... still there
Our local clinic wanted to practice nuchal translucency scans, so we had another one this week. Always fun to check in on the creature and see what it’s getting up to. Boy does it like to dance around! More early pictures.

Spine... check
The creature sucks it’s thumb already?! This was the first nuchal translucency scan. The result was normal. It was moving around a lot, and Ayako was asked to cough to reposition it. It bounced around like a pin-ball. Ayako has started apologizing to her belly when she coughs or sneezes. More early pictures.
