23rd Oct. 2010 - Luke's Photo shoot

I am so excited to wake up one Saturday morning to attend a photo shoot...

Lianne had her photograph taken in school 3 days ago and I don’t have any plans of having my own pictorial. It’s not my time to shine today coz I can tell that I start to look a bit puffy.  I don’t feel like posing in front of the camera, not that I’m not proud of my big bump… but because today is Baby Luke’s revelation day.

I should say it’s a revelation day coz we can now see how he looks like. He is only 28 weeks and 3 days old in my tummy but we’ve got the chance to take a look at him. Thanks to the advanced technology for giving us the chance to peep on Luke’s face via 3D-4D scan. I booked my appointment with Baby Bump in Oldbury, West Midlands few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to come to their clinic. I managed to have a good sleep during the night and I have already spoken to Baby Luke to grant us a big favour. Please impress us!…if you can stay awake even for few minutes and wave to us, that will be great. I want Luke to let us feel that he is doing ok for now and feels really comfy in mom’s tummy.

I was honest with Sharon, the Sonographer-In-Charge that day about the medical issues concerning Luke but we both agreed not to discuss any of those concerns because we’d like to enjoy the mother and child bonding session and forget any problem, even for now.

Lianne and Marlon are both giggling behind me as they see Baby Luke stretching, moving, yawning, swallowing fluids and even frowning. This is such a wonderful experience. I will not trade this important moment with anything else. I am all over the moon.

For me, this is a priceless experience. I am aware that in few months’ time I will be facing another chapter of my life, but for once, I forgot all the worries and fears. I put the entire problem behind and enjoy every single second feeling the close ties between me and my baby boy.

All I know is I am happy and the feeling is incomparable. We’re just so excited to see him soon…At least for now, I know he is pain free, comfortable and happy
