Fingers and toes

Today Godot revealed that since the last ultrasound it had managed to grow some adorable little fingers and toes. Unlike previous times it was a little less cooperative and clearly shied away from the noise and pressure. In the end the technician managed to find all of the things that were supposed to be there (four chambers of the heart and such) and once more we heard the beautiful sound of a heartbeat. And then, our child took advantage of its first time on film to show off a little by drinking, yawning and generally moving its mouth (already talking), then making dramatic hand motions (hand to forehead, hand out saying "stop") and trying to suck on its tiny fingers. Even the technician started to laugh!
