Gender Reveal and Our Baby Shower

It's a BOY! 

M and I are so excited. M had his suspicions that we were having a boy, the old wives tales and predictions indicated otherwise though. I could never guess, but when we were sat in the hospital waiting for our 20 week scan appointment, I turned to M and confidently admitted 'I think we're having a boy'. 10 minutes later and it was confirmed. All the parents we idolise have gorgeous little sons, we're looking forward to having our very own. If he's anything like a miniature M, I'll be the luckiest gal in the world.

Can you feel the beat of your heart as it slows down, won't you fly with me

The reflection in my mirror is someone I don't recognise anymore, she has mid length dark hair, no make up and a pregnant bump. All she wants tonight is to be the only person in the world, just for a bit. She wouldn't hear the comments about the size of her 'big' bump, she wouldn't have to watch her circle of friends change again, she wouldn't feel left out because of her age, her ex would stop asking for her friends number, she could feel a sense of control and ultimately she could believe in trust again.

All the things you never told me, back down, fly now
