Baby Update

On the 20th of December, we went in for Baby’s developmental scan. Turns out all of Baby’s organs appear to be in good working order and everything appears normal! But those of you who are familiar with the story of when I first met G’s parents may find it funny that Baby’s head measures in the 95th percentile. According to our doctor, Baby’s currently average legs will likely catch up to his head by birth, so we’ll likely be welcoming a baby with my head and G’s stature come May. I’m thinking I’ll opt for an epidural… :)

Sadly, he was napping face down against my pelvis…making it a bit difficult for the sonographer to make out the baby’s sex. Guess it’s meant to be a surprise. We’ll have at least one more scan before May, at 28 weeks. So, maybe baby will cooperate and give us a gander. Until then, our nursery plans are gender neutral. We’ve found a photo of a nursery that we like online and *may* attempt to use it as loose inspiration for planning our baby’s space. The jury’s still out, so stay tuned. We’ll likely get started in February though we have an introductory day at John Lewis scheduled for 8 Jan.

Also coming up, our Babymoon! As a Christmas gift to one another, we’re traveling to Thailand for our last international travel trip with baby in utero. A couple years ago, we considered Thailand for another trip, but decided it was a bit too mainstream and touristy for what we were looking for. So, we opted to hold back. This time, we were looking for something suitably mainstream and touristy so that, hopefully, we won’t suffer tummy bugs or other icky bits of more adventurous travel. We’ll leave on the 20th and are very excited for our Thai Cooking Course and Elephant Play Day excursions. Fingers crossed for good weather and good times as we won’t likely be able to take a international pleasure trip again until next September/October!
