Hot dog or hamburger?

Today I had the 19 week scan, ie the big one, the oh god oh god I hope everything is alright and it's not just gas scan.

Good news is that Usurper is doing well, all major morphology markers are looking good for a healthy, 'normal' baby.

And we most certainly were able to find out the gender.

But I'm not telling right now, other than to state loudly and proudly that the poo monkey is going to be a big sister and we, the parents, are thrilled*

*Until the birth bit, and the no sleeping bit. Minor details folks, minor details.

I'm an auntie!

This morning, my sister and brother in law became the proud parents of beautiful baby girl C. She is healthy and delicious in every way, and the new parents are both doing well.

Welcome to the world little one, may your stay be a long, healthy and happy one. You're already very very much loved, even though:
1. Your parents pinched the name we had picked out when/if we have another girl (first in best dressed as they say, and it really does suit you)
2. You decided to puke mucus all down my back (hey, what's a bit of baby vom when you're family?).

The poo monkey adores you too, and was very happy to tell all and sundry that the "new baby here, out of auntie n's tummy house".

I couldn't have put it better myself.
