I think most people know by now. We're going to be going back to the land of tiny onesies, burping and sleepless nights. Oh, and cuddles, coos and cuteness.
She's due on June 6, 2012 and we can't wait.
Yes, I said she. We went to the 20 week ultrasound scan last Monday and were pointed to girl parts not boy's. Aidan was with us when we found out. He stared and stared and stared at the screen. And on the way home he couldn't stop talking about "the little baby inside mummy's tummy, a girl." (Or Girrul, as he pronounces it).
If you're wondering why I haven't written about his before. Why the boy who couldn't stop blogging about his wife's first pregnancy has only just mentioned it now. Well, there's a reason. Or a few really.
I'm a bit more exhausted when I come from home work these days and on the weekend. And when there's time to write - like when Aidan's napping or asleep at night - there are other things that need doing.
Plus, we wanted to wait to tell everyone after the 20 week scan. We did this with our first and just wanted to make sure everything was OK before we went overboard and got thoroughly-bloody-excited.
But the real reason is that we were getting very excited around February. We were expecting then, too. We went to the first scan but found out it was a blighted ovum. Things were growing but not the baby. So it was a huge disappointment. It was also a very scary time when Erin reacted badly to the medicine she had to take. I can safely say the night she was rushed to hospital was by far the worst of my life. And I didn't even have to endure the suffering she had to.
It knocked us both for six. We're over it now, as much as you can be, and feel extremely lucky to be having another child on the way. And hopefully, having written this, putting it out there, there'll now be plenty more free flowing pages to come.
