Day 138 in the Big Riley Womb
Posted by Chris @ 8:14 pm
Well today was Dawn's 20 week scan (at 19wks and 5 days) and I am pleased to report that baby Riley is fine, with 10 fingers and toes, a healthy heart and legs and arms and everything, but no more scans now, boo! And yes, we know the sex, and whilst the sonographer warned us that is was a best guess and she can't be 100% sure, she thinks it will be a little girl!
Imagine that, we're going to have a daughter. One amusing anecdote I've heard about having a daughter already is “if you have a son you only have one boy to worry about, if you have a daughter you have all the boys to worry about!” That made me chuckle.
In other news I've been feeling the baby kick for the last week or two now, that is a bit weird and wonderful, and Dawn feels it moving all the time! Anyway we've been told from now to the baby being born will fly by, and it is the time to start buying things, so any donations welcome ;o) And don't forget, it could still be a boy, so don't go mad on pink things!

Woo! Yey!But how does Dawn feel about you referring to her as Big Riley? I mean, I know she's pregnant and will soon look like she's swallowed a Space Hopper but that's not very sensitive of you...

I have already thought up a 'Flowers In The Attic' type plan for Alice when she reaches a certain age, and a shotgun should keep away any unwanted boys!!!!Tony, when a woman is pregnant it is the only time a man can say that they are getting big without getting a slap in the face. Make the most of it I say!!!!

Congratulations- girls are the best! Dawn will be able to play at dressing her up all day. But be warned - even if you try to limit it, you house will slowly turn pink - ask Christian.This comment posted by Victoria

No scan piccy as yet, need to scan it in and haven't got a scanner. It isn't as good as last time anyway, so don't get too hung up on it!This comment posted by Chris
