18 weeks and 1 day, Meeting Daddy

Hello Auntie Sophie,

well we've had another busy week and mummy and daddy have been super shopping again.

On Sunday mummy and daddy collected our new wardrobe from Stubbington and the lady gave them some baby clothes for us as she'd bought a bundle from an NCT sale and they were already going to be too small for her baby boy who is due in a couple of weeks!
Daddy got all the wardrobe bits up to the spare bedroom and mummy cooked. we made mummy have a naughty day on Sunday, we made her eat 4 lollipops, have banana and chocolate chip muffin with custard before dinner and then semolina and jam after dinner! dinner wasn't very much , just some roasted vegetables to make sure there would be room for all the puddings.

On Monday mummy and daddy got a letter to say they have all their courses booked now. so hopefully when we arrive, they'll know what to do with us. mummy says she's looking forward to the days she gets to spend at Ashurst with us. Daddy is going to come up every night after work and have dinner with mummy and cuddles with us before we all go home together.

We are now the size of sweet potatoes and about 12 cm long. we have been practicing how to swallow, suck our thumbs, yawn, make faces and have a good old stretch. And we get the hiccups, which gives mummy the hiccups, we like that, it's funny, and it makes daddy laugh. Plus when mummy hiccups daddy says 'Hey Beans' to us.

we have been doing loads and loads of moving about this week, sometimes its enough to make mummy just stop what she's doing. we don't hurt her, but because we're getting stronger and stronger now she really knows when we're on the move.

on Wednesday mummy sold her old blue bed to make space for all our stuff.

Thursday mummy wore a top to work that she thought she'd get loads more wear out of, nope! we reckoon it was her last day to wear it until after we're here.
Friday she did the same! silly mummy.

This is us making all mummys clothes too small on Friday.

even though we make her tops too small, mummy did buy us a moses basket from small ads (her favourite shop!) it's the one they wanted and only £10 so now they can get a new one too so we both have baskets to chill in the garden with mummy in the summer. Mummy also started using some of her vouchers and got us a really smart changing bag and some fancy nappies for just £2.00. Daddy likes this sort of shopping mummy does, he says it's better than when she can fit into all the stuff in Winchester and hides it in the wardrobe pretending she's had it for aaaaages.

Friday night we all went out for dinner with Auntie Lucy and Uncle James, mummy didn't think she was very hungry but polished off a spicy bean burger a bowl of onion rings and nearly all her chips, there wasn't a pudding she could have but we think she'd have tried squishing one on top of us if there had been!

Daddy bought a new pillow for mummy. it means she stops rolling on her back when she's asleep, which isn't good for us as we don't get as much oxygen or blood as we'd like, plus daddy says it stops her from snoring too! So now mummy has a nice comfy pillow to sleep on her left side which means we're all happy.

On Saturday morning (today) daddy put his hand on mummys tummy to feel us moving. He was talking to us so we wiggled back near his hand, he can feel us!!! He says we're very little but he can definitely feel moving and it's not mummy's gas.

So today we're all very tired. we have been to the shops and used more vouchers to get more nappies and a gazillion wet wipes.
mummy and daddy took the blue bed apart for the lady to come and collect it next week. They built our wardrobe and put lots of our stuff in it, it's looks very smart and Jess cat has already been under it and on the top of it. They have also moved the changing unit and filled it with all the re-usable nappies they've been given for us, daddy says we're going to have very well dressed bottoms!
Daddy took loads of their stuff to the charity shop, so that they don't over fill the loft and forget whats up there. They now just have the corner bits to sort out and then the room is really ours. All we have to do is get here.

So thats us, we're pooped now so will probably have an early night tonight, we'll try our best not to wake mummy up at 6.30 again tomorrow morning.

speak to you again next week
lots of love
from
The Beans xx
