we hope you're having fun, even if you're just going into Winter.
we've had loads of sunshine here, we like to wiggle around when it's sunny and mummy sits outside, although we don't like it so much if the sun shines straight at mummys tummy, it's too bright.
we are now the size of cauliflowers all cuddled up. but we don't look like one! we have hit the 2lb mark, so mummy has noticed how much more weight she's carrying around. we're quite heavy and sometimes she wears a special belt to help hold our bump up.
this week mummy's middle bit measures 117cm, thats more than half how tall mummy is!
we're layering on our baby fat which is going to help us to keep warm once we're hatched, which is also making mummy very warm too. everyone in the office has been saying how cold it's been, mummy has been more than toasty.
daddy puts his ear on mummy's tummy and can hear our heartbeats and hear us moving around. sometimes we give him a little kick in the head. we think its funny and so does mummy.
mummy has done what she hopes is her final shop this week. we've made her quite a bit bigger so a lot of her clothes she's been wearing have gotten a bit tight.
so her shopping list this week has been... under crackers as she claims the other ones were in danger of cutting off the circulation to her legs! 2 new bras for her expanding boobs and then, good shopping stuff...
some nice vests, a floaty orange top, some cotton cropped trousers in a beigey colour which she really likes (and wears with a belt now so they'll last until we arrive) and then the blue birdy dress she bought today...

mummy and daddy saw lots of clothes for us today that they really like too, but haven't bought any yet.
mummy and daddy went to a class on Tuesday. it was a breastfeeding class and mummy and daddy thought it was very helpful and also really, really funny. the lady gave all the mummy's wolly, knitted boobs to use for the feeding practice. mummy and daddy said they looked like little french berets and hope that none of the grandmas make berets for us!
the midwife taking the class gave mummy 2 of the baby dolls, poor mummy was a bit frightened as she couldn't even scratch an itch on her foot without dropping the dolls. the midwife showed her the best way to feed us would be to put our legs under each of her arms and have us down her sides with our heads up front, a bit like carrying rugby balls! this seemed to work ok for mummy.
daddy said it was funny because at 8.30pm all the mummys suddenly got really tired and started yawning and looking sleepy, it was past our mummy's bedtime so must have been for the others.
the following evening, daddy had his turn to be worried.... he made mummy show him how she'd be able to feed 2 babies on her own when daddy goes back to work. she had to get all the cushions on the sofa how she wanted them and showed him, we think she's going to be fine. we'll try to be good and feed at the same time so that mummy gets a break, otherwise it's going to take her 2 hours to feed us both and then she'll probably have to start again.
we've been enjoying another long weekend, mummy wakes up when we do at 5 but she's been able to go back to sleep as she's not had to go to work. we make her ever so tired by about 3 in the afternoon, sometimes she's quite amazed how she even gets home of an evening.
mummy and daddy have their appointment with the consultant on Tuesday afternoon so they're looking forward to what he has to say and any advice they can give them about when and how we arrive.
we could be hatched in ten weeks, we're very excited, mummy and daddy are too.
looking forward to seeing you on skype when we're hatched.
write again soon
lots of love
