UPDATE....

I know I have been really scarce over the past two month ;~)
I have given you our latest update below and will do my best to do my usual catch up over the next few days to fill you in what has been going on here during my "absence" - once I have managed to catch up, hopefully you wont feel like you've been abducted by aliens - hahaha

Flutterbug @ 20 weeks



This weeks sees us reaching the "half way" mark till we meet the newest member of our little family. Thankfully the nausea has just about gone and I am feeling fit and healthy. Chris and I had our appointment with Prof Nicolauo and we very happy that all is well with little "Flutterbug". He/she is pretty much on (or slightly over) the 50th percentile and we were told that should we get to 40 weeks we could expect a 4kg baby ;~)... Given Zara's birth weight at 37 weeks, she would also have been around 4kgs at 40 weeks so I guess only time will tell. There are still days I have to remind myself that I am pregnant even though I am sporting a nice "bump". I am starting to feel baby moving around more and more but due to the position of the placenta, the movements have been quite shielded up till now. Zara is very sweet about "our" baby. She too has a baby in her tum and she told Grannyannie a few weeks ago that "when baby comes out Mommy's tummy, baby will come in my hands and I will give baby to Mommy's arms". Yesterday we had some photos taken and Zara was loving our baby giving my belly big kisses and huggles.


At the end of the scan, we tried to get a 3d pic of Flutterbug's face but he/she is apparently quite shy, and was not interested in us poking and prodding so kept shying away into the placenta or behind hands and showed us that we may well have a thumb sucker in our midst ;~)
