well this week has been much better.
Flashy cat is feeling better too so mummy and daddy are happier which means we are as well.
we have been layering on more squishy fat and are about 4lbs each now. mummy's middle is 127cm!
we can regulate our own body temperature too, so with each week we are stronger and stronger and if we arrive before too long, we should be ok and not need much help. we have been doing lots of moving too and mummy says its nice that she can feel Bean 1 moving about more now, especialy at night when the feet stick out by mummy's right hip and kick daddy!
this is our bump this morning...
on Monday mummy did some more laundry of all the baby stuff they've been given and a few of the new bits mummy and daddy have bought. mummy says she's not sure when the washing will ever end, and perhaps it won't until we leave home in a gazillion years!!
Tuesday mummy had her groceries delivered. she likes that very much as it means she doens't have to go to the supermarket ever again and daddy gets to have his weekends too. After mummy put everything away, she was strangely excited about doing it too, we went over to see Jess and her baby Lucy.
mummy used to work with Jess from HQ but both of them are on maternity leave now, yay! mummy liked Lucy a lot and Jess says she can't wait to meet us. it will be nice to meet her too.
Wednesday was mummy's pampering day, she had her hair cut which was nice and relaxing, then went and met Grandma W in Romsey for some general mooching about the shops and some lunch. mummy bought another different packet of nappies for her and daddy to do the soft test on... they want to make sure that we have the comfiest bottoms possible for the first month or so before we get to wear the nice soft reusable nappies. mummy also printed off a lovely picture of Jessy cat which is now in a nice frame in the lounge. when mummy got home she was pooped, so we all had a little afternoon sleepy with Flashy cat.
on Thursday we went to the doctors and saw the nurse so she could take mummy's blood pressure, it's back to where is should be now. and the nurse said that the high reading the week before was actually the same as mummy's normal reading 2 years ago. as for mummy's huge swollwen feet, well she's just going to have to put up with them until after we hatch. then they'll got back to normal, but she gets to paint her feet in calamine lotion every night which stops them from getting too hot and itchy. mummy says 'thats nice but it doesn't stop them bloody well swelling up though does it'! daddy says he's happier as he gets to sleep at night because mummy isn't all scratchy.
mummy went into Winchester for a starucks with Auntie Amy whichshe said was lovely, and she only misses cathicng up with Amy and not actually being at work. mummy then met Kate and Annie for a picnic lunch for Kates' birthday. it was very nice to sit in the sunshine with mummy's friends, and then go home for another afternoon sleepy!!
Friday was mummy's excited day... she had another delivery which was the big twin feeding pillow for us...
on Friday afternoon, daddy came home early and they went off for a bump shoot. mummy and daddy had lots of pictures taken with our bump as mummy says a set of nice pictures will be much much nicer to look at in years time than her great big maternity pants!! They get to see them and pick the ones they want on Tuesday.
on Saturday Grandma & Grandad Booker and Auntie Vicky & Uncle Jack came over. Auntie Vicky bought mummy a paddling pool so she could put her hot fat feet in it, mummy said it was absolute bliss...
daddy and grandad took the old bike shed down and put up a shiney new one which daddy is much happier to keep the bikes in. Uncle Jack cooked the food on the BBQ and us, Grandma B and Auntie Vicky all sat in the sunshine watching all the boys do all the work. Mummy had to go upstairs and put her feet up as they were lovely and cold but swelled up so much she almost couldn't walk...whoops!
On Sunday we went into Southampton for a coffee with Auntie Sammy, it was very nice to see Sammy and hear her talking to us. mummy bought some more bits for our hospital bags, she just needs some lovely soft baby towels for us and we're set. Daddy needs to pack his bag too now.
so thats our week this week.
we've got a busy one coming up with visits to the consultant and a scan too. Auntie Rachel is coming to stay on Thursday, mummy hasn't seen her for 2 years because she's been travelling all over the world with Uncle Steve, we're excited to meet her.
can't wait to show you our pictures from the bump shoot and the scan...
speak soon
lots of love
from
The Beans xx
