29 weeks, acrobatics and curry strops

Hey Auntie Sophie,

we've had quite an eventful week this week.
mummy was still a bit poorly on Monday so she stayed home and slept lots, even through all our moving and growing we've been doing. her spots on her arms have now gone but her feet still swell up lots, we think thats now more to do with us than cooking fish for daddy.

On Wednesday we went to see the Midwife Kate who listened ot our heartbeats and said they're very good, and then tried to work out where we were, she thought we both had out heads up by mummys ribs and feet at the bottom. after that we went over to Southampton to have our pictures taken.
we're both in the same bunk beds we've always been in, heads on mummys left, bums and feet on mummys right! 

Hello, it's me Bean 2! I got my picture taken first because I'm easier to see wahey!! it's a good job I'm at the top because I'm littler than Bean 1. The sonographer lady was able to get all my measurements and estimates that I'm about 2lb 7oz right now and I'm almost as long as I'm going to be when I hatch.
this is my photo, mummy says it's easier to see if you look at it on the side and then you can see my little face looking back.

I have really chubby cheeks and a little round head. the sonographer lady says my nose isn't really as wide as it is in the picture, it's just I was wiggly so make it look a bit blurry. mummy and daddy puffed their cheeks out afterwards to see who they think I look like, they don't know! but because I'm littler than Bean 1 I've still got plenty of room to move about.
also because I'm in the top front bunk, it means most of the wiggles mummy and daddy see and feel are me!

Hey! it's my turn... Hello, I'ts me, Bean 1. gosh Bean 2 doesn't half squish me, even if I'm the bigger one. I'm 2lb 15oz and I don't have so much room to do the crazy jerky moves like Bean 2 does. but I do like to make myself comfortbale on mummys bladder, it's like a big cushion, aah. and sometimes when I stretch my legs out a bit I push on on of mummys nerves and make her leg feel a bit funny. she doesn't mind too much unless she's walking down the road to the shops because she bends over a bit and gets worried that people might think she's having us in the street!!
this is my picture, it was much harder to get because of sprawly sprawlerson upstairs, what a camera hog. so poor mummy had to do loads of acrobatics again to be able to tip Bean 2 out of the way a bit so they could see me...

so this is my profile, mummy and daddy say I am definitely a thumb sucker as I'm at it again. what can I say, I'm comfy on this squishy bladder so I might as well chill out, I can't do much else down here.
the sonographer lady says I look like I might be thinking about getting into the right position to hatch, mummy and daddy are very pleased about that. they'll know better at the next scan on 8 July.

mummy and daddy are quite surprised at how quickly all the appointments are stacking up now, we'll see Kate again before the end of May and then the consultant a week later, then a week and another scan and it's just a whirlwind. mummy says its a good job she's finishing work next Friday otherwise she'd never be there anyway with all the appointments she has to go to now.

so we've been doing lots of growing, we're still like big cauliflowers so you can see us when you do your groceries. we respond to light when mummy shines her phone at her tummy and generally we just do a lot of moving.
poor mummy had a couple of nights of good sleep and now we're back at it stretching and kicking and wiggling about. daddy says the feet wiggling comes from mummy and the rolling around all snuggly is from him.
on Thursday evening Bean 2 went for a mental stretch, arms and legs out in all directions made mummys tummy stretch out wide and not forwards like it usually does. after about a minute all bump shape went back to normal. phew!

Friday mummy and daddy went for a naughty curry, it's what mummy fancied for dinner, but we didn't. boy did we let her know about it too. Bean 2 kicked and pushed back on mummy's stomach so she couldn't get any more in, and Bean 1 rolled around on the bladder and the leg nerves to make it nice and uncomfortable for her. then we kept her awake for most of the night with our moving around. well what does she expect sticking all that rice and spices in here with us, it's not like she didn't know on Wednesday that we're short of space in here.
so even though it was a Saturday morning and we all should have been having a lie in, we woke her up at 5.30!! we couldn't really hear as we were tucked up under the duvet but we think she might be booking in an afternoon sleepy today. Daddy did speak to us for a little while and asked us to play nicely so mummy could have some more sleepies this morning, we did, for a bit.

so thats us this week. we're moving around a lot more now and sleep for just a couple of hours at a time, in fact we're having a wiggle right now!

P.S..... This is our outside this week, all 119cm's of it!!

have a lovely week and we'll speak to you next week
bye for now
lots of love

The Beans
