Week 12

I have been looking forward to this week. This is My First Scan week. I'm going to see my baby!!!! Shame, Husband is away to work again and will not see our little Bean.
Last time I was pregnant, he missed all scan appointments, classes and labour (which technically wasn't long as they c-sectioned me pretty quickly). Before going to hospital to have a baby, I pushed and forced both engagement and wedding rings on my swollen finger because I didn't want to look like some miserable asian single mother. I was on the edge.

This week I also need to go to the recording studio, we are still working on one particular track that I start to hate as I've listened to it so many times it hurts my ears. Producer makes me write lyrics. I can only come up with super cheesy, soapy lines however hard I try. He challenges me more and eventually my "brain" shuts down.
All I can think about is this song that comes into my mind and won't leave:
"If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?"
Simple words written by Tim Hardin.....why can I not write like Mr Hardin???

Right, back to scan. Turns out I am not 12 weeks pregnant but 13!!! Baby is healthy, developing as should, active and very cute. Poses for a picture that I take home and show my mother-in-law and my son. My 4 year old is amazed, he wants to see the scan picture again and again. Points out at the area around the baby, then asks:
- Mummy, is that your tummy?
- Yes, darling.
- Oh dear, your tummy is sooooo black!!!

My due date is now 12th December!!!
