Today has been simply the best day of our lives. It is with immense happiness that we can say that Deborah has given birth to a healthy and vital baby girl, Marcail Erin Begbie today at St. John’s Hospital, Livingston. She weighed in at 3090g, or 6lbs 10oz in old money.
We had growth scans at 28 and 32 weeks with the result that the head circumference was somewhere just about the 50th percentile on both occasions, but the abdominal measurement was above at 28 weeks and below at 32 weeks. As a result we were asked to go back today for a further scan, carried
It’s getting to that stage where Debs is a different shape every time I look at her. This morning she woke up, then a short while later lifted the duvet followed by a shocked exclamation. Turned out to be nothing to worry about, just some stray limb that was attempting to leave her abdomen by

Today we met with Dr. Rane to discuss the results of our 16-week blood test and the fetal anomaly scan we had a week ago. Should mention that the scan came up normal, showing no signs of any congenital defects and on track development…you go Little One!!!
The first bit of good news is that at her last midwife visit, Debs was told that she will be getting further additional monitoring because of her greatly advanced years. As well as the 12 week dating scan and the 18 week anomaly scan she will receive further growth monitoring ultrasound scans at 28 and
Saw Rita, the midwife, this morning and I really like her. She seems to really know her stuff and is very forthright and honest. Baby heartbeat is at around 148 beats per minute and very regular (she said, hmmm, a boy?). You could hear it moving around too. Baby has moved up out of my
So there I was lying awake for a few minutes at around 4:00 a.m. this morning when I felt two tingly pokes in succession in my womb. Up until now there have been frequent daily swishy, wavy sensations, but this was distinctly different. We’re heading into the ‘quickening’ phase of development when wavy feelings and
