The Fields of Athenry




Hello Bean part 2.


Well today was great for two reasons.

Number 1 reason for a good day was that we got to see Bean again. Manda has a very very cool friend who brought us a session at a private clinic for an ultrasound scan. It was even more special as neither of our Mums had ever seen an ultrasound scan of their kids (my ma had 3 boys and m's mum had a boy and a girl) so there we all were in this private clinic m's mum & dad, my ma, me and manda. Into the little room we went and Bean appeared in a matter of seconds. It was great to see the grandparents faces as Bean moved to and fro. Elbows, feet and and face came into and out of focus and there were "oohs" and "ahhhs" from all. What an event it was I'm so pleased that they got to see Bean.


The 2nd reason is that Ireland beat Scotland in the Six Nations championship. It is a big deal to rugby fans in northern Europe and I'm a Paddy whilst the misses is a Scott. The Irish managed to win by a point but the victory means bragging rights for another 12 months.


Eireann go Brach !



Low lie the fields of Atherny,
Where once we watched the small freebird fly.........

I'm so happy for you both that all is going well.
There is no pic of 'bean' up there now but I'm sure I did see one yesterday???

How amazing is it when your 'bean' gets legs, hands and a little face.

I hope M is feeling ok and getting to enjoy being pg. :)

Hugs
