Bumpwatch!

Here is the bump at 30 weeks + 4 days.

The Volvo

Conrad would like everyone to see his baby friendly bargain-mobile!

Checkup day Again!

It was midwife checkup day again this morning. Everything is fine, heard a good heartbeat and the infection seems to be clearing up. I am measuring bigger than my 30 weeks, but this could be for any reason and nothing to worry about! Baby seems to have settled head-down, but plenty of time for this to change!
Also got a family size bottle of Gaviscon for the heartburn!

A minor setback

Well, the Dr confirmed this morning that I have a urinary infection. It's harmless for the baby, mostly just unpleasant for me. But it does mean a course of antibiotics and yet more blood samples to check kidney function!

On a happy note, the aquanatal class was absolutely fantastic, here's hoping I am well enough to go again this week.

A Flurry of Activity

This time last year we were soaking up the sun in Limone - hopefully it's not too long before we go back!

In terms of pregnancy, this week seems to be the time when everything starts to happen. We saw the midwife on Wednesday, everything seems to be as it should and we heard a strong and clear heartbeat. These checkups now become fortnightly.

On Monday is a glucose tolerance test to check for signs of gestational diabetes, and it means not eating after 5pm Sunday - how will I ever cope!?

Thursday is the start of weekly aquanatal classes at the sports centre, which involves gentle stretching and toning exercises.

Also a big Happy Birthday to Martin and Tanya for this week.

Conrad goes all 'Handy Andy'

Thanks to Ken and Vera, the lovely cot has arrived safely on the Island and Conrad has done a great job building it. Now baby H has a nice place to sleep!

I'm getting bigger!

Here I am at about 20 weeks, much bigger now and almost fully developed. I am looking healthy and putting on weight steadily. Mummy and Daddy decided not to find out if I'm a boy or girl.

Little Old Me!

Here I am!

This is me when I was about 12 weeks old, I was still very small and developing quickly!
