K, who is down from PNG for three days, called this morning and invited me to her ultrasound.
this was the first time she'd seen a proper dr. apart from the woeful manners of the specialist, the nurse was very nice, and surfed all over K's belly with the reader thing.
she's 15 1/2 weeks, and it was quite amazing. all the little fingers and toes were visible, and you could even see its spine
the connection between the slight bulge on her belly and the clearly human creature on the screen was hard to make. it's only 18-20 cm long now, but has a proper face and even beat its tiny fists at one stage.
dr would not say whether it's a girl or boy yet; but it was conceived on day 10 and we certainly couldn't see any male genitalia, we think it's sure to be a girl.
she's not back until August, a couple of weeks before she's due, and I feel bad that I'll probably be away until a couple of days before it's born. It was so good to see her again, and really a privilege to see her baby before its father (who is back in PNG) even could (she now has a video and photographs of it)
