As promised, more baby news more of the time here at What’s Doing. Last week we went for our twelve week check up. This involves blood tests, an ultrasound scan and an associated nuchal translucency test (try saying that when you’ve had a couple of glasses of Chambourcin).
In summary, all is well, and Todd Too even managed a wave or two during the ultrasound scan.
Bets are now being made about gender. I’m staying out of it but SWMBO is convinced that we’ve got another boy on the way. Ciaran’s
helpful suggestion was to phone the local radio station Nova. Their sports reporter can allegedly tell a baby’s gender by asking it’s mother random and meaningless
questions. My response to him included a couple of choice words. We may find out the answer at the eighteen week scan in (come on now …) five weeks but I probably won’t announce it here. That way people who wish to remain in the dark can do so.
SWMBO is still sick. Judging by her last pregnancy the morning sickness will hang around until about three hours before the baby is born. It’s nice to know that she is taking it well though and doesn’t ever complain about her condition.
In non-baby related news, SWMBO has perverted the music selection in the car by putting a Kylie CD in the stacker. Serves me right for buying her the
album in the first place I suppose. The good part is watching JFGP in his car seat
bopping along to what seems to be his favourite artiste. Fear not 70’s throwback, the re-education has started and I’ve been playing him It Bites and Marillion at every opportunity.
