All about feeding our little foodies

21 week pregnancy update

We have had an amazing week this week, seeing our baby at the 20 week scan, finding out that she’s healthy and finding out that she’s a little girl!

It’s May day bank holiday today and Alistair had some work he needed to do so Harry and I went for a walk with my parents.  It was such a nice morning, Harry loves being in the great outdoors so it’s nice now the weather is getting warmer that we can do this more often.
