Baby diary 2

Well James darling, it's been weeks and weeks since I wrote the last entry. You are now nearly 32 weeks old, which means only 2 months left before you are expected to make an appearance! Your cousin Loussia was born about 4 weeks ago on the 3rd of May. You won't remember this but as I held her in my arms you kicked her bottom through my tummy! Seeing Loussia made me wonder even more what you look like and what your character will be. I can't wait to get to know you!

I'm getting nice and big now as you grow, and although it's getting uncomfortable to bend down I am happy to see how well you are growing. You must be nice and healthy in there! From scans and tests we have had we can tell that you are doing well, even though I panic every so often that you are not thriving for whatever reason. Because mummy has wide hips you stayed quite low in my abdomen for a while, and so we thought you might be too small, but you soon popped up and now you are exactly the right size and sitting where you should be! Also, because the placenta is on the front I can't feel you kicking and moving about as much as I would like and that worries me sometimes too- but I'm sure you're having a good go in there! I can feel you now just under my ribs, moving your feet around.

We already have lots of things for you - a crib to sleep in, a pram to go about in (so I can show you off to everyone), a car seat so we can take you home from hospital, and lots and lots of clothes! We have bought some pale blue paint for the nursery, but so far Daddy hasn't had time to redecorate as he is working lots of overtime to earn extra money to buy things for you - and in between I keep arranging for us to do things and see people, so we've been out of the house a lot. That will change when you get here - we won't be going out anywhere near so much!! But believe me, we won't mind at all - staying in with you will be more fun than any going out could ever be.

Anyway gorgeous boy, must go now and do some work - I still have 2 weeks to go before I can give that up!

Big kisses,
Mummy
