Those of you on the ‘maybe baby’ filter already know this, but Doug and I are pleased to announce that we’re expect­ing a little person, due to be born at the end of Janu­ary 2009. The ‘work­ing title’ for this pro­ject is “Harper Cloud” – the name goes for any gender and we’re not going to find out before the birth.

We had the 12-week ultra­sound today (the pic in the user icon is from the 8‑week ultra­sound) and I’ll be post­ing video to the ‘maybe baby’ filter later today. The 3D ultra­sounds are kinda freaky! It’s amaz­ing how human a 6.6cm-long foetus can look! The best bit was while wait­ing for Harper to roll over so the tech­ni­cian could check the neck (for the Down Syn­drome screen­ing), we saw little hands waving around and feet kick­ing and squee!
