Long time no speak!

Hang on, let me get rid of these tumbleweeds… go on, shoo… shoo…

Well, contrary to what you may have been thinking, neither Sophie nor I are dead and our little unborn baby boy is doing just great judging by the pummelling he is giving his mummy’s internal organs. Either that or he’s desperately trying to re-enact that infamous scene from Alien.

Since our last update it has been several whirlwind months of moving house, unpacking innumerable boxes, buying new furniture and putting it all together and/or shifting it in to position, waiting for phone lines and broadband access and then trying to get the damn router to work… pardon my French.

But now we’re in and settling well in to our new home. The baby’s room is nearing completion bar the wardrobe which seems to have gone AWOL since leaving the shop’s warehouse – hopefully it will turn up soon. Everything else is nearly in place and the cute cotbed is taking up a sizeable portion of our bedroom ready for the triumphant arrival. I think we only really have the bags to get ready in time for whenever labour kicks in though I expect Sophie will disagree.

We recently had a 4D scan of our little boy done and what an amazing experience that was, seeing him up on the screen in such detail. He has Sophie’s nose and beautiful shapely cheeks, and apparently my mouth though he still appears to be able to do the “Sharpe Pout” despite this. When Sophie gets the scanner working I am sure she’ll post up the pictures so you can see what our forthcoming baby boy looks like.

So we’re in to the last 6-8 weeks. It’s now really up to him when he decides he wants to make an appearance. The oft mentioned baby name issue has been paired down to just two names now. Typically both Sophie and I have different preferences! Not a problem as Sophie will be so out of it after the birth that it’ll probably be left to me to communicate the name so it will end up as my choice. Shhhh! Don’t tell Sophie!!

More frequent updates to come along with a few pictures. Promise!
