Well, our latest scan has revealed there were no boy bits to be seen on our baby. Now this has a high probability of me giving birth to a baby girl, but no-one would be stupid enough to say this 100% for sure. So, we have named our baby girl Selah (say-laa) Grace and will hope that the odds are right... if not, then well have a funny story for 'his' 21st. It helps me to feel more connected to the child within having a name and gender, though habit still has me calling her 'baby'...

Anyway, Selah is a word often seen in Psalms, and is a Hebrew word that is a musical term meaning 'pause', 'stop', 'reflect'. We can imagine that our baby will make us pause and reflect on the beauty of creation, and the beauty of grace (hence her middle name 'Grace'...Selah Creation just doesn't have the same ring!).

On that note, I'd better go and check the banana cake in the oven before it burns. I just hope the unmarked container of white stuff really was baking powder else I'll have a banana pancake.
