She's a girl!

Baby Jones is a girl! We only found out towards the end of the scan, it looked like maybe she'd keep it secret, but she must have known how desperate we were to find out! The scan was amazing - the detail, and how developed she looks. Her gorgeous little mouth and lips, her hands clasped together, and legs crossed at her ankles - just as she had them in the first scan (so nonchalent). I couldn't be happier.

And now we've been able to make a few purchases - pic attached of a little cardie I picked up today. The first thing I picked up was a little pink dress, as had to have something pink, and she gave me a tiny little kick! She'll be a born shopper...

2 sleeps to go...

2 sleeps until our 20 week scan! Feels like we've been counting down for ages, but also hard to believe we're half way!

And I've reached another milestone... I'm officially weighing the heaviest I've ever been! Surely I look pregnant now, depending on what I'm wearing anyway.

Feelings are far more frequent, still definitely like bubbles, but perhaps more of an obvious feeling - almost as if the odd one is popping.

Baby Jones, can't wait to start thinking of you as our Baby Boy or Girl!

Definitely, maybe

Sunday evening, sitting on the couch watching tellie, Ollie on my lap, and definitely thought that maybe (definitely, maybe!) I felt the tiniest little 'flick'. Or was it just that the cat moved?! Come on little baby, make it a bit more obvious!!

Interesting to see the votes so far indicate the feeling is we're having a girl... just under 2 weeks and we should know!

Bubbles or butterflies?

It seems like the perfect time to start this blog, as I wait anxiously for the first real 'kick' - this weekend I think I've felt... something...

"They" (who are "they"?) say you first notice something that feels a little like bubbles. For something that's described as the size of a baked potato this week (week 17), bubbles sound pretty cute. And it's probably a good description. Not quite like a tummy rumble (I definitely haven't been hungry), but lighter. I think I've only felt it a couple of times, and can't be sure that it is the baby, but time will tell...

I wanted to write this blog on my 'baby kicks' for several reasons. First, because it's all new and exciting, and I have no idea what to expect. Second, if friends really are interested in how I'm feeling they can get as much detail as they actually want (I won't be getting too personal for my colleagues who may also end up here). And - I think it will be a nice record of my pregnancy.

ps Had the best baby cuddles with Lucy today!
