Congrats you two!!

Would you like me to fly my son over there and have him stay with you for a few nights so that you can get a little preview?

I think we'll wait until Sept and then gradually build up to a son the age of yours.

I prefer girls, I'm a real tomboy at heart but I feel like it'd be easier buying girl stuff, because I already do that

I had wanted a girl because every child I see regularly is a girl, it feels like I know more about them than little boys. However, I've now realised that the Scalectrix, lightsabres, and Lego can be justified far more easily. And my Nerf guns will be cool vintage toys by the time Joseph is old enough to play with them. Although on three Lego front, can I really justify the three foot Lego Star Destroyer (to go with the small, 10 inch model I already have) when I'd build it and spend the next five years saying "Leave it. It's not a toy."?

My mom bought a ton of boy toys for me once I was older than 6 because I'd complain that I hated my pink room, pink bed, pink doll house, pink piano, pink guitar and 20 pink haired dolls. My dad was rich, so I had a ton of instruments and toys.. but I always just wanted one of them out of the group that I got. I still can't understand why a kid would want so much stuff.

I love nerf guns, and legos... Dang, I wish mine didn't go in the trash now... Haha. I don't like getting muddy, though... And I'm kind of like a 60 year old, my back is bad so rough housing is a bit out of the question for 3+ year old kids... hah.

Thought I'd share, 20 week scan.

He wasn't cooperative for the photos today, it's not the best shot we have of him.

Thanks to you Chris and Char for sharing the pic, thoughts and experience with the pregnancy

[chris-uk]

Nearly 24 weeks now.
This week has been grim, Char's had a cold since Monday, I caught it a couple of days later. If you think a cold is bad it's worse when you are pregnant. We're both pulling through now though.

[guidofatherof5]

Get well soon.

Glad you are both getting past the cold. I know it's scary to be sick when you are pregnant. Thanks for sharing the pic of the ultrasound. I still have Julian's ultrasound pics just like that. Funny, Julian looks exactly like your little guy in that pic!
