we've had a very exciting week this week and its been mummy's last one in the office
we've been sort of meeting people too.
On Monday we decided to be ever so wiggly and thats how we're probably going to be until we hatch!
Auntie Sammy had her hand on mummy's tummy and Bean 2 kicked her, then Auntie Nicky came around the desk to feel too. It turns out that Auntie Nicky has never felt a baby kick from the inside... she screamed and ran away. everyone laughed so we weren't frightened. Mummy met Auntie Annie for lunch and had a big cheese toastie, we couldn't her what they were talking about, but they laughed a lot.
Mummy and Amy had a lovely frappucino from starbucks on the way back to the car park, we liked that.
Daddy has been in London all this week so mummy got to pile all her pillows up like a big nest on the bed, it made her more comfortable, but we still didn't let her sleep as much as she'd hoped. sorry mummy.
Mummy met Auntie Rachel for a coffee on Tuesday, she's cooking a Bean too and they're both looking forward to meeting for lunch once we're all hatched, Rachel's Bean is due out in August so we're all going to be lovely little summer babies.
On Wednesday Auntie Emily felt us kick too, that made her jump but at least she didn't scream like Nicky did! Mummy was so tired after her walk in from the car, it is a mile and a half you know, so she managed to get some parking at the office for her last 2 days, even if she still walks like a duck that rode a horse all the way to work! thats mainly because Bean 1 just scooches down onto mummy's bladder, its very comfortbale to sleep on, but not so easy for mummy to walk. Mummy met Auntie Clare for lunch, she had lots of shopping bags but said mummy couldn't see what was in them until we were out! mummy says Auntie Clare is naughty for doing so much shopping for us, but we know how excited she is to meet us.
On Thursday mummy was in lots and lots of meetings, there wasn't a single comfy chair until later in the afternoon. at lunchtime she went to starbucks with Auntie Amy and Auntie Sammy who had a bean seance! they both sat either side of mummy with their hands on our bump. And they were both freaked out as Bean 2 gave their hands different kicks. Auntie Sammy had warm hands so got more tippy taps and hiccups, Auntie Amy had cold hands so got the bigger kicks and rolls.
Friday was mummys very last day in the office before we hatch. she was quite glad of that because she's now ever so tired and her poor feet have swollen up like a hippo's. she thinks there is a hippo at marwell zoo wondering how on earth its meant to walk around on the silly little ankles it suddenly has!
there was a good luck balloon tied to mummy's desk and a washing line with lots of pretend tiny baby clothes strung across her desk. mummy made lemon muffins for the office and they were tasty, we're glad she managed to eat one for us yum yum.
at the end of the day all the office aunties and uncles gave mummy some lovely presents to pamper herself with before we arrive, then we all went to the Black Boy! it was lots of fun because the pub is so odd, there are lots of things all over the place and it's mummy's favourite because there is so much to see.
mummy got some more presents, inlcuding a book to read to us so we can learn our numbers up to 5, we like it when mummy reads to us, and a comforter each from the Auntie A-Team. one is a cow the other a sheep, they're really, really soft and we're going to like snuggling with those. Auntie Julie gave mummy and daddy a lovely bottle of fizz to celebrate our hatching with, mummy says that it will be nice to have something other than lime and soda but had better not have too much as she hasn't had anything stronger than a cup of tea since September so will probably fall over!
lots of people had to go but Amy, Sammy and Annie stayed on with mummy and daddy and had dinner. we made mummy accidentally eat all Annie's cheesy chips so had to get her some more!
mummy and daddy can't believe that in 8 weeks at the best, we'll be here. how mad is that from so long ago and all mummy's injections and funny moods.
on Saturday mummy and daddy tried to sleep in but we had other ideas, daddy talked to us for a while which we really liked but it didn't make us go back to sleep. so they got up and went to Winchester, bought some breakfast pastries, went home and had a lovely afternoon nap. in the evening they went into Southampton to watch a street show, it wasn't very good so they went back to Auntie Lucy and Uncle James' house for a cup of tea. Bean 2 was extra wiggly so mummy put her phone on her tummy so Auntie Lucy could see it move, she didn't like it so we just had to wiggle without the phone. we like freaking out people!
Sunday was another early start, sorry mummy and daddy. Daddy tidied the garden, mummy did loads of laundry and then we all went to Auntie Mel's for her birthday party. it was lots of fun. Mummy is looking forward to starting her leave on Monday, but we're not sure that we're going to chill out much.
we like wiggling and it makes us nice and strong.
so this is our bump this week...
we are now the size of butternut squashes, about 40cms long, mummy's middle is now 123.5 cms.
And we could be here any time from about the next 5 to 8 weeks. hooray!!
speak next week
lots of love
from
The Beans xx
