A look at Baby Fro

I've been lazy the past couple of weeks, not writing in this diary. But usually it's down to getting the right feeling at the right moment and having the time to do it. It's not like my life has been completely uneventful, although mostly everyday is similar to the next, but there is usually some kind of news which comes from somewhere which is worthy of comment.

For example, Rock Chick's 4D scan. Or rather 3D but the company who do pregnancy scans calls it 4D. It must be some kind of gimmick. The last time I heard of the fourth dimension was from a story called the Time Machine. I'm sure there is no such thing as a time hopping baby, but it is an interesting thought. So, Rock Chick, Dangerous Sports Lad and Sparkling Eyes took a train journey from the East of Scotland to the West. Glasgow to be precise. There they had an appointment with a scan machine. The one thing they neglected to do was to tell Little Baby Fro it was picture time, if anything like Rock she'd need time to compose herself in the appropriate way and give a beautiful big smile. Taking on another trait which Rock has, Fro decided it was a day just to lay in bed and sleep. As Rock lay there the woman ran the scanner over her belly and the Fro as if wanting to keep the world out just put her arms over her face in the classical foetal position, curled up all lovely and warm, not wanting to play football or anything, awwe, she was quite comfortable. The scanning assistant advised they go for a walk, or maybe drink some fizzy drink.So they did, they tried again. Yet again though Fro was not being helpful, so Rock threw in a few star jumps as well. The situation was desperate as the assistant doing the scanning would of rather given them back their money than do her job.  Eventually a dozen or so pictures were taken and a couple of short videos. There is one picture I have where Fro is showing her face, but she really is taking no notice at all of the world and slept happily during the entire event.  I saw this photo and was overcome with emotion and happiness, she is the most beautiful baby I have seen. Of course every baby in the world is the most beautiful, but to me Fro was definitely the most beautiful baby in the world. I believe from the out start Fro is going to be a handful for Rock, because like Rock, Fro doesn't believe in doing what other people want her to do and does her own thing, in her own time. With luck she will take on the calming side of Dangerous's demeanour rather than his drama queen side. She is beautiful and I so can not wait to say hello and be called pops. Sparkling is also very happy to be a glamorous nanny. To the point she will be doing a cat walk for a cancer research fund raiser. This is a very wonderful and special time for all of us, and it's so good Fro is just taking it in her stride.

Sparkling was not happy with the assistant who admitted to hating her job. Which is a disappointing thing at a precious moment in the lives of all those looking on. In her get back way, Sparkling has now written a very long email of complaint and vows to send it every day if she does not get a reply. I gave her some advise, and suggested she track down the Chairman, and Chief Executives of the company, for these sorts of people hate to be bothered by their customers complaining. They will do their best to avoid them and then usually do their best to make up for it. I bloody well hope so.

So my beautiful baby Fro, I am going to hold up to you a glass and say welcome to this world, I'll also write a little book on life's lessons for you. It won't be attached to your umbilical cord because there has been a gene invented to make you wise. At least you will be loved very much and happy.
