The family just got bigger

Well we can finally reveal something that we've been keeping close to our chests for the past few months: Kate is 15 weeks pregnant.

If you've been wondering why this blog so far had much more in the way of musings on life/universe/everything than actual details of our life what you might all want to read, it's because most such details over the past few months have involved coping with morning sickness, getting up early for visits to the prenatal clinic, and other such things that we didn't want to post publicly until we were pretty confident that the pregnancy was going well.

Anyway, our last visit to the ultrasound clinic was great, as you can see from the scans: yes, there's fingers, legs, a brain, and luckily it looks so far that the bub has got Kate's nose rather than mine.



Kate has spent much of the day sorting her clothes into things-she-can-wear-now, hand-me-downs-that-will-prove-useful-in-a-couple-of-months, and not-for-a-good-while-after-the-birth. On the plus side, the morning sickness, which at one point was so bad that she couldn't even drink tea, has now receded enough that we had garlic in our gnocchi tonight.
