A day later then usual, because my website crashed since so many people wanted to know what the gender wasĀ at the same time yesterday. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again today š To make it up to you I added a little video from the moment we cut the cake that Bo made with her phone. …
He or she… what will it be? Soon Denny and I will know whether we’re having a boy or a girl. I often ask people whether they had a preference, and usually get a pretty standard answer: it didn’t matter, as long as it was healthy. Do people really think this? Is it strange to …
