Heeeyyyy baby baby....

A little note to the baby....


Well baby, we went off to the Evalina Children's Hospital in the Big Smoke last Thursday to get your heart checked out, make sure it was growing properly and all. What a day. So you decided that Thursday would be a good day to do somersaults, kick and punch and poke, go diving deep deep down and generally wriggle and jiggle so much that the consultant had to ask us to come back in a couple of months when there's no chance of you hiding!!

He was pleased generally though with what he could see, when you stayed still long enough that is. Just one little area that he couldn't get a good image of - nothing serious, he just wants to make sure everything's fine and as it should be.

And then you evidently had worn yourself out with all that excitement, and didn't make a peep all the rest of the day when we saw your auntie and uncle. Typical - I get the impression you're going to be a right little handful!!

You have had me and daddy in stitches though recently, what with your diving skills - it's been like something out of alien, a huge great lump protruding from my pelvis... nice!! And then you poked daddy back, that was funny.

Last night was very silly. Daddy came to say goodnight and put his head really close to my belly and started singing "Heeeyyyy baby baby" and didn't get any further than that because it obviously woke you up and you gave a massive kick!! So he did it again and you nearly got his mouth ;) He was well pleased that he got a chance to feel you wriggling about and poking all over the place again, but I did have to remind him that maybe last thing at night is not the best time to go waking you up like that....

We get to see you again on Friday! I'm really hoping that along with all the dancing and diving you seem to enjoy at the moment that you show enough of yourself so that we can see whether you're a little boy-baby or a girl-baby, although some of my friends have been joking that what with all the weetos I've been eating you're more likely to be round and chocolately with a hole in the middle ;)

It's nice being able to look down and see where you are, it's incredible to think how big you must be and how on earth you manage to fit in there. Can hardly believe we're halfway through this pregnancy - you and me babe, we're doing well!

Love you baby :)
