Week 22

I've just entered week 22, it's Friday, I've had a very tough week and an even tougher day. On top of that, I can't have a whiskey and N's working tonight until midnight. So, it's chocolate brownies, juice and blogging for me.

By the way, non-alcoholic beer tastes just as good as real beer. No kidding. We've been getting some very hot weather lately, so I can still drink that perfect pint in the pub garden! Life isn't all bad. It's just today :)

So, some pictures!

Tim (N's brother), Sally-Ann and Jamie are expecting another addition to their family in the beginning of September.


Holly (N's niece) opening her birthday gifts with her mum, Caroline (N's sister).



J fed the elephants at Colchester zoo.


Jk, cousin Tom, Granddad David and N went to the Imperial War Museum's Aviation museum in Duxford while C and I stayed at home and prepared Ch for her Mathematics Government exam (GCSE).


Here I am at 21 weeks.
 


And our 21 week scan where we got to see the baby squirming and stretching and moving about.


We then had to go for a more detailed scan where we could clearly see the lips, nose, heart valves, brain lobes, ear, fingers, toes... it was AMAZING!!! The picture imprinted in my memory is the frontal close-up (straight on, not like this side-view) of the baby's lips (opened and puckered) and nostrils with one hand near the side of the face... I think the baby has N's nose.



This is me today. I've grown alot in a week, so I thought I should give you another pix. I look unhappy, but I'm just concentrating :) I should have cleaned the mirror! You can see my long tube-shaped prego pillow in the background too. Oh well, it helps me sleep.


We're trying to think of names. Feel free to blog some of your middle names or fav names to give us some ideas.
