As I know many people do not tend to read comments on blogs I wanted to share with you the comment made by my father.
" Naturally we are more than delighted about the reason for this blog, the smallest member of our family (as of now). We want you to know that we remember how we felt when we were in this position and YOU were the object of our amazement, and are overjoyed to share your feelings that so closely resemble ours then "
Thanks Dad!
On another note, I have had a pretty hectic day, and the bump was really digging his heels in, and on a full bladder too...and in a moment of madness I had harsh words and told my unborn child to 'stop it!' My goodness am I a disciplinarian in the making? What a thought!
Baby now 6' from head to bum - not sure what piece of fruit that relates to though? Answers on a postcard...

Basic Facts:
- Baby now the size of an Avocado - but as mum quite rightly pointed out, if it was an Israeli avocado it would be a hell of a lot bigger than the ones we get here!
- Baby is moving A LOT, and I can now feel it, more than just fluttering but not yet full-on kicking.
- Heard the heart beat for the first time today, was very strong, so much so that the Midwife commented "That's very strong for 16 weeks and 3 days!", she was very precise about other things too.
- I am now getting to a dangerously high emotional state, but more of that below.
So we are now well into Month Four (16 weeks and 3 days), and have been feeling the baby move around for about 2 weeks now. I am growing quite a lot as, I am told, is the little one inside me. The sharp twinges I have just started feeling are even more than the fluttering which is a bit like when you are nervous and your tummy does a little butterfly flip.
From my point of view my tummy looks huge looking down on it, but I am pretty certain that from the front it is pretty non existent and from the side I just look, well.. fat...so the fact that two people have now given their seat up for me on the train I can only put down to the way I rub my tummy in a often futile attempt to 'look pregnant'…as was the situation on Monday morning:
I was going in for a half eight meeting, yes on Monday morning - I KNOW!? And the train was absolutely packed so I was standing up. And after two stops of me getting increasingly grumpy and absently doing the tummy rubbing thing, a nice young lady stood up and offered me her seat, well I was a little astonished, and caught off guard I sat down mumbling something like " umm, your very kind...umm". I then spent the next ten minutes biting my lip trying not to burst into tears like a complete moron! These sudden and very guttural emotions are still taking me by surprise, but I managed to only let a few stray tears seep out. I managed to finally thank the young woman as she was leaving the train at Kew, she was of course very nice about it, but I'm sure she thought I was the rudest pregnant person ever!
Anyway, here’s to a slightly less stressful week next week with my crazy late nights working in town becoming a vague distant memory and the kitchen sink draining as it is supposed to! Oh yeah and I’ll be 33, which of course is just so much better than 32.(that’s what I’m telling myself anyway, so shush, no comment…as I believe it!)
