Summer!!! 28 weeks!!!

Yay, summer is finally here after a long, long winter! Sven and I have really been enjoying the sunshine and warm weather!

Sven has been working hard around the house in preparation for our little man's arrival. He spent this weekend hanging curtain rails, assembling the changing unit, and painting our entrance hall, poor man!

I haven't been doing much this weekend, just the usual shopping for baby, gardening and tidying! I must say that the latter has not been a priority of late! This bump gets in the way of much of the house work! hehe! That's my excuse and I am sticking to it!!

I am 28 weeks on Tuesday and am feeling fab! I have loads of energy and am not as tired as I have been. Morning sickies are still around, but only on the odd occasion - like twice a week! I was in Argos (a shop) this morning and was sick, but had no where to go...you can imagine the rest. NOT NICE! I have my midwife appointment on Thursday, which I am looking forward to! Hopefully we will discuss our birth plan.

Anyway...Here are some pics from today, I made a spatchcock lemon, garlic and rosemary chicken on the Braai – it was fab! Check out my big belly and Sven's even bigger pout!!!


Mama mia!
ooooooo.....big bump!

Mr DIYPout!!

Hmmmm...Chicken...good!

Jelly Beans Nursery mural

So, I finally finished painting JB's nursery mural on the 11th April. We love it!!

I wanted to paint something bright and colourful, and it is also our theme (we have linen and a moses basket with jungle/ safari animals on them)

Anyway here are some photos.

IT'S A BOY!!! 22 week scan

We had our scan this morning and as well as all the measuring and checking that baby is well, they told us that we are having a boy...well it was a bit hard to miss!!! heheh!!!

Our little boy seems to be healthy and is weighting about 464grams! Sooo tiny! This scan was the most amazing and fascinating experience!

I had thought all along that we were/ are having a boy so it was nice to have it confirmed. Poor Sven was a little shell shocked at first as he thought we were having a girl! He is thrilled though. We now have a major task to find a boys name that we both like!

Happy days!

20 weeks pregnant, and gorgeous

I took some pics of Meez this morning, and here are a select few.
For the full set head on over to Flickr.
The lady is looking gorgeous at the moment, innit!?

More on the kicking story

Just to add to Marisa's post - It's true that I really did feel a kick. Two, in fact. Very distinct, and quite strong thuds. Kinda like you imagine Thumper thumping his great big paws when he's chatting to Bambi. Kinda cool. VERY cool actually!!!

And, it seems like the morning sickness is going away. 4 days apparently without any bowl-hugging. That makes my missus a happy missus.

Baby movements felt by daddy!!

Monday 10th March

Daddy felt baby move this evening!!!! Just a little bump, but he definitely felt it move twice!!!

Hehe! I am so happy that he got a chance to feel Jelly bean move!
