Hey Baby, I guess you were a little shy, so we couldn’t really be sure about your gender. No matter whether you’re a boy or girl, Daddy and Mummy still love you. We’re glad that you are growing well. After all the junk food for about two weeks, I will be a little more careful with…

*Throwback post to week 12* Hey Baby, Oh my, how you’ve grown. From just a static jellybean with a pumping heart, you can now move your tiny hands and feet! Mummy has been really worried about you. I’m sorry that you had to endure those days and nights of my hard coughing. But I guess…
