And arms, and legs, and a HEARTBEAT and a chin and other official fetus attributes that made our eyes widen and cloud with tears. Even better, everything is fine and measures all that it should. Thank God.
You can see for yourself here!
We are obviously thrilled and so, so relieved, although somehow we’ve managed to stay remarkably zen about this whole thing, give or take a couple of hormonal and fraught rows last week, because we are women and we women do hormonal so well, don’t we?
So there you go. We managed to squeeze in our civil partnership ceremony AND celebration dates too. Does anyone actually want to fly over?! If so, we’d be delighted (email us)!

I cannot believe that profile. So beautiful. This makes me so happy.
RE– civil partnership ceremony invite. You have no idea how much I wish we could. The kitchen remodel beginning this week unfortunately tells me that the answer is no.
