Our First Scan

Having found out Sharon was pregnant (so early) we rushed off for our first scan at the soonest possible moment, 7 weeks.

Our doctor of choice was Dr. Czarnocki who was based at the Westville hospital. He immediately put us at ease when he called Sharon into his office. “Can my husband come with?” she asked. “Only if heez da fader” was his response. At that point any tension Sharon was feeling was instantly lifted. The appointment went well and I’m pleased to say that he included me in all important questions such as “have her boobies grown?” and “are you making da love?”

Nick, who of course knew the news by this point, had given me permission to cry upon the birth of my child. Unlikely, was my initial thought. That said when I saw my first scan and the tiny heartbeat I came pretty close. I guess I’d better prepare myself for the inevitable.
