Oh Boy

We had scan #2 this morning and I'm very pleased to report that baby S is fine -- the right size, weight, brain OK, spine good, the right number of fingers and toes and is 'swimming' in the right amount of amniotic fluid, fed from a right sized placenta.

Oh, and he's a BOY! Yay!

And the Easter Island angularity of the first scan seems to have passed to more naturally human features.

..So now we throw away the baby name books (we were undecided on girl's names) as George Frederick Haymer S is alright as he is thank you very much.

(Haymer, btw, is a name given to the males on my wife's side of the family).

While all I wanted was for a healthy baby and its sex was immaterial, I am looking forward to a more evenly balanced gender spread at home.

it wasn't allowed, but yes, certainly my first choice. Thought, the little blighter has the wonder of Clash and CFC indoctrination to come and there's nothing ma can do about it!
