22.5 weeks Pregnant!

I finally got around to taking a photo of the bump today! Took them myself, so they are not the best...running for the timer with a bump is tiring!!

Things have been and still are quite busy! I am trying to empty my studio of all the bits and bobs that I have, in preparation for the wee mans arrival. Need to find homes for some paintings!!! The room needs a big clean, new lick of paint, and perhaps the carpet needs a clean too! So much to do so little time.

Anyway, really excited and can't wait to do some shopping and sort out everything for the wee man. I have bought him two new baby grows, as I just couldn't resist and thought he deserves something new seeing as tho almost everything will be a handme down! :)

ANOTHER BABY BOY!!!

We are thrilled to bits that Ethan will be getting a baby brother!

Baby is so cute, so active and already so big!!! His legs and stomach are on the large side, so I will probably have to go back for another scan at some point. It all depends on what my midwife thinks.

The scan was amazing, we had a trainee Dr in the room with the Sonographer, so we had an extra long scan as the Dr had to have a go scanning. I was so thrilled to see baby again!

His profile photo looks so much like Ethan's - there is definitely a similarity!

We have a name and middle name all picked out, I am tempted to say, but I think Sven would kill me! hehe!
Guess you'll all find out when he is born.

Baby Heart beat at 19 weeks!

Christmas with Ethan and baby bump

We celebrate Christmas by going to a carol service at the village church with some friends and their daughter. Ethan enjoyed the singing and seeing our neighbours children. Then later with Ethan opened a gift! Christmas morning we woke up early (as is normal with kids) and went downstairs.

Ethan was straight into the gifts and opened them up all by himself. Ethan was so very spoilt by all the family, and some wonderful friends.

We had a lovely Christmas lunch, with my family. Mum and Andy brought over two huge legs of lamb that had been slow cooked, I made tons of veggies, and Sabrina and Will made a dessert! All very yummy and we were stuffed at the end of it all. We all had a great time, and later watched Ethan open more pressies!

Come bed time we were all exhausted, and flopped into bed early!
