From the tummy: Week 20

December 12: As soon as it was known that the little person growing inside was a girl, Daddy got another good news - he landed a new job. But it also meant he had to fly away for couple of weeks for training.

Highlight of this week was their trip to Gold Coast. Their 8 night stay had lots of picture, lots of fun - but mommy couldn't get on any of the rides. Too risky for me. Overall, they had a good time.

From the tummy: Week 19

December 3: Mommy had the scheduled scan today and all pointed to a healthy baby growing inside. Daddy couldn't wait and asked the sonographer if it was possible to know the sex of the baby. The sonographer made sure they really wanted to know. She checked over a few images and announced - IT'S A BABY GIRL!!!

On the morning of the scan, daddy subconciously took a blue shirt off the hanger and went on to iron it. But he accidentally used too much steam and it spoilt the shirt. Then, subconciously again, he reached for a pink shirt, ironed it and put it on. It wasn't till mommy noticed the color that he realised the coincident. Signs!!
