It’s a boy!

Posted in Family at 5:56 pm by rachel

I went for a 22-week ultrasound on my 30th birthday last Tuesday. What a wonderful present to see more images of the little one, and to find out that it’s a boy!


Crafty Baby at 22 weeks.

Another big surprise was that the ultrasound technician turned on the 3D machine, so now we have some very baby-looking pictures of our son. He looks a little confused or squished or maybe just bored.

What a week! After the doctor’s appointment, I was off to London for my 30th birthday dinner at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant The Warrington. It was delicious, from the pre-dinner sip of wine I allowed myself to the sticky toffee pudding and all the soup and steak and vegetables in between! I am loving my 30s already.

Bootees for Milo

The British post is serious business: a pair of bootees I sent on Friday were on little Milo’s feet by Saturday! It just makes me smile seeing those things on real baby feet.
