"The nervous system develops rapidly at this time, especially the spinal cord and the brain. Brain waves can be measured, and the head is getting bigger as the brain is developing."
This is so true. Went for my final 'emergency' scan today, to check the viability of the pregnancy, i.e. to check f0r the heartbeat. Al came too, so this was the first time he's seen the bean. However, for me this was pretty much the first time too; as instead of a single piece of frogspawn, there was a tiny 'space prawn' baby complete with visible heartbeat pumping away in it's pip of a chest. I couldn't believe it. You could even see a shadow where the brain is (too me it looked rather large for it's size, but that's not surprise with our genetics eh? Tee hee, only kidding) There were shadowy little eyes, and you could even make out the umbilical chord. Still no clear sign of arms and legs yet, but hey - he/she's got a massive brain!
I'm deliriously happy! Keeping my mouth shut is proving tortuous! I just want to show baby bean Davis to the world!
Anyway, I'm going to scan the picture hopefully tomorrow, and I'll post it then so you can see it for yourself!
