More info at 24 weeks

Just had my 24 week appointment with my mid-wife today and all seems to be fine. Had some people hassling me about a picture so here is one. Just been swimming so not the best pic but at least you can see how the bump (and the rest of me) are growing... Hope you happy now Lauren :>)

24 Weeks

Had the final scan today, they did not give us a copy but checked the heart and face of the baby. All is very well, no signs of any issues on all fronts so far so good.

The next scan...

Jen has another scan today, to check on the baby's facial area to see if all is well. I will post a piccie when we get one. Cheers

120 days to go...

Not long now till the little one comes along. We went to Caroline and Trefs Wedding this weekend it was fab. I (Dan) also completed the Reiki II course this weekend so its been really busy. Over the next few weekends there is rugby union on too, roll on the six nations. i think Gareth may be tinkering a bit too much with the side and positions at the moment but hey ho that's rugby. I think we should win it or at least come second this season, but pray for no injuries eh!

The date is set for the wedding...

Well, we have set the date with the vicar and the venue. It has been finalised (99.9% as 16th August 2007). Hope you can make it, cos it will be a good old knees up.

Week 22 - one small step for man...

The baby is getting bigger and continuing to practice for extrauterine life. This week HE has developed eyebrows! He weighs about 15 ounces (425 grams) and is 27.5 cms or 10.8 inches total length! Any suggestions for names?

so far we have had John, Paul, Ringo,George, Han (solo), Chewie to name but a few...thanks for the offers...

Week 21 - Welsh rugby is saved!

Well,

Welsh rugby is saved

Its a Boy. All went well at the scan, thanks for all your messages. all is fine so far, saw the heartbeat and brain and arms and legs etc....the ultrasound bloke seemed really happy. It seemed to be a 'good size' according to him as well. We have to go back for a scan of the baby's face on the 29th of January to check for any abnormalities and to see how good looking he is (probably very good looking if he takes his looks from Dan!)

Anyway, so far so good....

Week 20

We have just been to the Church where we should be tying the knot. The vicar seems really nice and we have got to back on the 21st to set the wheels in motions Banns etc.
The scan to tell the gender of the baby is on Friday, yipee, at last! So will keep you all posted...what do you think he/she is...post your comments and lets see if you are right...

Week 19 - and Wedding Venue

ok this is the venue. its Hampton Court Palace, garden rooms. Some info on the venue for you...

The palace was appropriated by Cardinal Wolsey's master, Henry VIII, in about 1525, although the Cardinal continued to live there until 1529. Henry added the Great Hall - which was the last medieval Great Hall built for the English monarchy - and the Royal Tennis Court, which was built and is still in use for the game of real tennis, not the present-day version of the game.

Queen Jane Seymour gave birth to Prince Edward, the future King Edward VI at Hampton Court in 1537 and died there twelve days later, and her ghost is said to haunt the staircase in the Palace still. Queen Catherine Howard was arrested there in 1542 and is said to have run along the Long Gallery 'hanted gallery' screaming for King Henry VIII to save her, before his guards caught her and dragged her away. A ghost is said to haunt the palace, sometimes screaming in the same hallway. Others report seeing the notorious King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

Hampton Court is the site of the world-famous Hampton Court Palace Hedge Maze. Planted sometime between 1689 and 1695 by George London and Henry Wise for William III of Orange,

In 1604, the Palace was the site of King James I of England's meeting that led to James's commissioning of the King James Version of the Bible. It has the famous 'real tennis court' which is still played in today (bloody english still crap at it though).

We are thinking of St Marys Church in Chessington, followed by Hampton court for Reception and evening party, Hotels about 500m away which we will sort out and get details to people.

Baby doing well at moment, kicking Jen all about the place but she seems to be coping well.

Week 18 - New Year

Well a few exciting things have been happening here at the moment. Firstly the first kick that Dan felt, still seems a bit weird...Also new year...The party we had had meant that Jen came third in a quiz where her subject was complex numbers, whatever they are....And dan won the X-Factor prize, signing the beatles Helter skelter. So great so far, cooool. Happy New Year to all out families,

Dan and Jen
