Baby Contortionist

Hello my darling….. It has been a while since I have written to you and for that I am sorry. There has been a lot going on for you and me, mainly growing!!

You are now 17 inches long (ish) and doing a fab job… I feel that I need to write purely because I have been sending you some bad vibes lately, and I just want the following noted for the record….

I am overjoyed to have you in my life, and can not wait for the magical day when we get to meet properly. To see you in your Daddy’s arms will bring me so much happiness I can’t even begin to tell you. Lately I have been grumbling a lot… felling really tired and hot, and I have at times become frustrated with you for being such a little fidget bum!! I am sorry baby!! Really I am…. It is just getting herd – no less so for you I should imagine, being squished can’t be all that much fun.

Daddy and I were at the hospital the other day and during our visit there was a bit of a clue to your long debated flavour….. Girl – this is based on your heart rate being above 140 (you average 150) I’m not so sure – old wives tail maybe!! A couple of our friends are also expecting babies…. Both are having Girls so maybe this is the year of the ladies… we shall see.

Position wise (a use of words which you will probably find highly disturbing) you are head down… getting ready to go… your bum is sticking into the right/front of my rib cage and you have found a nice little nook for your feet. As long as you are happy and healthy it is no hardship to share my body with you for the next 8 weeks.

It will all be worth it once you are here. Enjoy your wriggling little one.
