Crikey - It's a Posting!

Wow, 13th March. That was a long time ago. Doesn't bode well for post baby blogging, does it? Anyhow, I'm here now and that is what matters.

A few weeks ago we had our follow up scan, presenting us with our last sighting of the baby before it's arrival late September. It looks thus:



Tips for men and other people who can't make out scan pics: it's the head and upper torso.

Helen and I promised each other we wouldn't divulge the names we are considering for the baby, but I feel that I have let down my loyal reader with my long absence from blogging. So, as long as you don't tell Mrs P. I let you know, here are the fore-runners in the Name-A-Parsons Stakes.

Gary II "Son of Gary"
Uke
Ram-Man (I'm particularly keen on names featuring punctuation)
The horse group: Stallion, Mustang or Colt
Slack-jawed
Baron von
Another

Problem is there are sooo many great names, I don't know which to go for. It is tempting to give the child 4 names - one to be used for each season, or maybe a name for each month - I'll have to check up on the laws for that. Fear not though, I am taking the task of naming my firstborn very seriously...

And don't forget, all contributions welcome - each and everyone will enter the grand draw on September 22nd.

Good to see the blog back after a long absence.

Anyway, on the names question, how about Parsons Parsons? Partly because it's awesome when people have the same first and second name, like Neville Neville, but partly because it has a certain ring to it. If you two do that, I'll call any future child of mine Maddison Maddison (though I accept this is slightly easier for me, as Maddison now appears to be an acceptable first name in some quarters).

Catherine (well, obviously)
