Here is a truly terrifying picture of the spawn. I like and fear the picture on the right side due to the eye cavities and seemingly evil grin on its face.

I`ve been seeing a lot more families around with babies lately whether they be in the streets, restaurants or supermarkets. The baby boom must have been of truly epic proportions 50 however many years ago for they are seemingly unescapable even now.

Perhaps that should be I`ve taken more notice of them than before for in six months that person will be me. It`s a sobering thought. I saw a young family on the train to Tokyo - a snapshot of a scene I will be in in the very near future. Spoonfeeding it, calming it down when it`s agitated or I don`t know what.

It was a strange feeling when I saw the picture. My God that`s its head. The whole ultrasound experience is like a journey into another world. The misty wave view at the start like in a flashback sequence in the movies, the searching around for the body and then the focus onto the head and grin. The best thing is knowing that it`s healthy, has a seemingly fully functioning (or at least forming) head and is of a healthily average weight. What more can you ask for?
