Holding hands

It says on the nhs (national health service in the UK) website the following about a baby at 16 weeks. 

"Around this time, your baby's hands can reach each other – they can form a fist, and hold each other when they touch."

You are around 16 or 17 weeks old now. It makes me smile to think of you investigating your world, such as it is right now, and coming across you tiny hand and holding on. Giving yourself comfort and maybe a firm shake and a "How'd you do?"

Your mother had a scan the other day to look at her liver. While they were looking your penis got in the way. So now we know you're a boy. Actually, these things are not definite and it is possible they made a mistake. But for now we are trying out boy names on you to see how they sound and feel. Can you remember any of them? I used them when I spoke to you from time to time. David, Benjamin, Oliver, George (after a favorite uncle of mine) and Samuel have been a few. I think we will wait to meet you and see which suits you best.

Love you xxx
