Does Anyone Remember "Skeletor"?

G'day all xXx

This story comes from that magical day 5 months ago during my 12 week scan...our first meeting with lil Alexander, and it always makes me giggle to recall it xx

My partner was running late (he had to drive from Bridgwater to Caerphilly!) and I'd already had the scan; luckily we had an AWESOMESOCKS sonographer who gave us another scan when he reached us so that he wouldn't miss a thing.

Anywho, we're having the scan and the image on the screen is pretty much what I expected to see (having bombarded myself with Google Images leading up to the appointment), when he shifted round to actually FACE us!
My partner was oooohing and ahhhhing and generally making weird noises of amazement but I was wholly unnerved:

"Shhhh....I think he can SEE us!"

I truly believed my baby had cottoned on that we were spying on him and utterly convinced that he was even FROWNING at us for the intrusion!!
The weirdest thing of all (for ME) was the fact that his face looked quite skeletal - which I guess makes sense given he hadn't been cooking long by that time - but it reminded me of that bad guy from the cartoon "HeMan"; anyone remember Skeletor?! The memory of that little skeletal face lent itself to our concocting a pre-birth name:

Flump Skeletor Phillips

Not as cute as "Bean" or "Watsit" maybe but definately unique :)

xXx Big Love and blessings to all you and your respective Bumps xXx
