A new arrival on its way

Finally! Have been meaning to update this page since last year, but never got round to it. As most of you should know by now, we are expecting an addition to the ‘family’ in early April. The due date is 3rd April so we’re getting pretty close now to the peace and quiet being shattered at home. Beck is doing really (and has been pretty good throughout) and is starting to get pretty big now - and still has a few weeks to grow! Below are a couple of prints from the scans at 20 weeks just after we got back from our germany trip. We had to laugh as it looks like baby is laughing in the print - in reality we think it was just opening its mouth ready to suck its thumb. Still looks funny though!

The print below is the baby's face which looks rather like that of an alien than a human - but we have been assured that's normal! :-)

We didn't want to find out what the sex of the baby was. We decided that we'd rather get a surprise in April, and besides it makes it more fun for others to buy baby things as they should be fairly nutral. A good way to slow the flood of baby items pouring into baby's room!

Beck had her baby shower a couple of weeks ago and the way she described the aftermath is probably quite appropriate; she said our lounge looks like the baby factory monster threw up in it. So we're pretty sorted for most things now, we have a cot from one of Beck's mum's friends, a pram from Beck's dad and maz, getting a highchair from Beck's mum and rex and my parents are making us a change table. Beck and I have bought new curtains (Winnie the Pooh) and painted some draws for in the baby room and another of Beck's mum's friends said he will supply us with some nappies and baby creams, etc. Bring on 3rd April!

That'll do for now. Will try and get permission to take a pic of Beck on day to post on here too!
