The First Baby Kick

At 15:27 on December 29th 2006. Jen has jusy called me all excited....Its just kicked. She has been playing classical music to the baby in her car for weeks now and booom there it is. We have been stocking up on the disposable stuff at the minute, after some great advice from mary-ann. All ready for the new year now, lets go...

Cleansing the soul...

Week 16 and Christmas

The baby is forming brown fat deposits under thier skin, by the end of pregnancy this will account for 2-6% of their total body weight. This will help them maintain their body temperature when they are born. The baby weighs in at about 5 ounces (142 grams). This means that the baby now weighs more than the placenta. No new structures have formed. Loud noises outside may actually cause the baby to startle from now on, so we need to be quiet......

Week 16

December, Christmas is coming. We are off out shopping today and starting to decorate. We had a sports do last night with Jens school and we also went to see her school production of Doctor Faustuss which was great but probably a bit too compicated for most, a lot of it was in Latin. i thought it was fab but 'cultural' Jen got lost in the plot.
Anyway week 15 stuff starting to feel much better but the headaches are driving her mad. Jen went to doctors this week and glad to say the trusty NHS(No Help Sucker!!! as I fondly know them as) have again not helped...just prescribed more painkillers that don't work. We have had Sarah and Brad staying with us this week and we have been working like mad so a nice Saturday lay in was called for....anyway onto week 17....
