Last year around Bonfire Night celebrations, little man was only 7.5 months old so he wouldn’t have really understood what was going on, or noticed much. This year, being 19.5 months old, he is obviously more aware. He has had 2 Bonfire Night ‘celebrations’ this year! Last week we went to his Nanna’s and we had a feast of jacket potatoes, hot dogs and beans. And of course fireworks! (Well, we didn’t eat them, obviously…) We took the warm option and stayed inside looking through the kitchen window to watch them. With the lights out, he could see the shadows …

But you think it is …
The ‘Berry’ Pregnancy Diaries – week 21
Thursday 17th October – 21w 1d So excited we have our scan tomorrow! I still have no inkling of the gender whatsoever, but from previous scans and my bump, I would say 75% of people have commented that they think it’s a girl. I just don’t know! Friday 18th October – 21w 2d Today was scan day! I wasn’t feeling as nervous as usual, only slightly, I was just excited to see our berry again.
