Who is Baby T?

The perfect recipe

Mr T and I have had lots of conversations about our baby girl as you can imagine. We talk about what she might be like, who she will look more like, if she will be a teacher….Our process has been sped forward somewhat, with the thoughts of being parents being a bit closer than we originally thought….we have sped read on labour, nicu and preterm babies. So it is nice to stop and think about the little person at the centre of all this and how wonderful she is going to be. It is a nice way to escape the seriousness and at times scary journey we travel.

Mostly though we think she is going to be a fighter. Strong, courageous and healthy.  I have a good feeling about her; that she is going to be able to cope with whatever life throws her way.

Baby T is going to be creative, a little bit cheeky, a little bit of Mummy and a little bit of Daddy. Stubborn, impatient, free spirited, independent and head strong like Mummy. Nurturing, loyal, inspiring and focused like Daddy. The mixture will add a little bit of curiosity, happy go lucky, adventure and down to earth to create a beautiful Baby T.

Baby T is a girl, so she will of course be beautiful, and we hope she will be whatever she wants to be. I want her to be girly but not too girly, and to protect her from the gender stereotypes in our big wide world. She will we be her own woman. I don’t want her to be stuck in a female profession if she does not want to be…she can be an engineer, a fire fighter, a pilot…whatever she chooses. She can have barbie dolls and like Disney princesses if she likes, but she can also have lego and building sets too.

Little Baby T will be special no matter what the outcome, and we will love her all the same, firefighter, florist, musician, or teacher……24 weeks, 3 days and counting!
