we heard you yesterday. we've grown our ear bits well enough to be able to hear stuff now, although everything is still a bit muffled in here. we're looking forward to saying a proper hello when we're out.
this is the outfit we made mummy put on yesterday, so you can see that as well as filling the screen when mummy was talking to you, we're making good progress on the doorway filling too!
we are now the size of aubergines. about 9 inches from the top of our heads to our bottoms. we've made it to over a pound and a half and this week mummys tummy has added a new cm and a half. but she says its good because it means we're going in the right direction to be just the right amount of squishy. she also said it might have had something to do with her eating biscuits and crisps this week instead of her fruit and vegetables. she'll eat those next week.
we know we've got a bit more space in here as we've been moving around loads more this week than the last few weeks. mummy and daddy can see on her tummy where we're moving. they can't tell which bits are hands or feet but they can see lumps when we poke bits out.
we've wiggled a bit lower down now, so mummy has had to wear a bump belt this week which helps to carry some of our bump weight and makes it a bit more comfortable for her.
and we are teaching mummy what times we like to be awake. definitely 5.30 every morning. then again around about 11 ish, 4.40 in the afternoon as mummy walks back to the car and then at 8 and 10 at night. so now she knows.
Bean 2 in the top bunk keeps waking up with the hiccups. mummy felt sorry for me the other morning as she said I was hiccupping so much it was making the entire bump shake, and as I'm only little she said it must have been a really big deal for me as all of me moved with each hiccup.
I slept through it at first on the bottom bunk, but when I start to roll around, if it makes mummy's tummy hurt, she taps the bottom of her bump lightly and it makes me, Bean 1, move a different way so I don't squash her bladder or make her think I'm trying to move it.
when we stretch our legs we make the whole bump change shape, especially down mummy's right hand side, we make it feel quite hard and then as mummy tries to work out who it is, just when she thinks she's got it,we move, ha ha!
mummy did get to have a foot fight with Bean 2 this morning, mummy tapped her bump and Bean 2 kicked back for a little while. mummy and daddy said it made a change from being booted in the ribs.
mummy only has another 5 weeks of work, so has said she needs to make sure she goes for 2 mile and a half walks every day so she doesn't turn into a hippo.
daddy bought our car seats today! we're having grey ones with bubbles embroidered on them and fancy bases that stay in the car to make it easy to get us in and out quickly. and mummy and daddy are going to get the summer covers to brighten them up and help to stop us from getting too hot. when it gets cold we can have fleecy covers to keep us snuggly on car trips. Daddy is already picking out toys to hang on the seats for us to play with.
so just our cot beds and wheels to buy.
mummy and daddy are going to see the midwife Kate on monday. they'll get to hear our heartbeats and Kate will check that mummy is still healthy as well as making sure we're alright. (even if she did scoff crisps and biscuits this week). they got a letter today to see the consultant in a few weeks time, he will be the man who will look after mummy and make sure we arrive safely on D day.
Daddy said this is the first time in months that mummy hasn't known days in advance what she wants to eat, all she can tell him is what she doesn't want, and apparently thats not very helpful.
so thats about it for this week
we'll let you know how our heartbeats go and maybe if we're awake, we'll have a bit of fun with wiggling for the midwife so she can't catch us!
speak soon
lots of love
from
The Beans
