The Bean

The Pregnancy (May 2005 to Jan 2006)
The Bean was conceived in May 2005 and was due to pop out on February 18th 2006. Here is his own story...

Is that happiness... or nausea?

That's a teeny beany heart, apparently

Osian's Naming Day - 9th April 2006
A Naming Ceremony is one of the oldest customs and rituals in human history - it creates an opportunity to welcome the child to the clan, family and community in which he will live. A bit like a Christening, for infidels.
