Little Joseph Henry gave his mum and dad a huge smile…from the womb.
Excitedly watching the ultrasound screen, Louise Henry couldn’t wipe the smile from her face as she waited to catch the first glimpse of her unborn child. At 17 weeks pregnant, she was overjoyed to see her baby’s face, hands and feet for the first time.
But as she and her husband Sam beamed at the blurry image before them, neither one could believe their eyes – their little man was smiling right back at them!
“Your primary concern at that stage is that you have a healthy baby, but to see the foetus smiling was absolutely fantastic,” says Sam happily.
And when their gynaecologist explained he’d never seen such a young baby smile in his entire 40-year career, the proud parents knew they had a very special child on the way.
“It was wonderful to see and we hoped it was a reflection of how safe and secure he felt,” says Sam.
Now, at three-months-old, Joseph is still a little bundle of joy. The gorgeous bub giggles happily at home and his parents have no trouble getting him to turn on the charm for the camera. And while the little chap isn’t too worried about anything more than his next feed and clean nappies, everyone who’s seen the scan has been blown away by his apparently cheerful countenance.
