Midwife Appointment - Thursday 22nd February 2007

Went for my second Midwife appointment today. Nanny Trisha came along with me too. She heard the heart beat for the first time.

The Midwife measured my bump again and said that it was 28cm long! when she listened to the heartbeat she asked if we knew the sex of the baby and I said yes a boy and she said definatley with that heartbeat. She said that Lennons head was now at the bottom and his feet up the top, this explains why I thought that he had turned yesterday. She did say that his head is not engaged yet, which is good!

Nanny Trisha bought Lennon a lovely outfit for him to wear home from the hospital, I have packed it in my lovely pink labour bag. So far I have packed;

Feeding Nightie
Knickers
Small Changing Mat
Scratch Mittens
Hat
Vest
Baby Grow
Bib

I have started to write check lists of everything I need for the labour and slowly I am getting bits and pieces.

My next appointment is on Thursday 8th March 2007 at 12.15.

Pancake Day - 20th February 2007

Baby Lennon enjoyed his first taste of Pancakes today. He is looking forward to tasting them for himself next year.....

Lennons First Football Match - Saturday 17th February 2006

Wayne, Bump and I went off to watch Brighton vs Nottingham Forest today at the Withdean Stadium. It was Lennons first taste of football and he is not even here yet! he kicked all the way through the first half but settled down for the second half. I think he is definatley going to follow in his Dads footsteps and support Nottingham Forest. Its a shame they didn't win though the score ended up 2-1 to Brighton :-(

Terrible Heartburn - Tuesday 13th February 2007

I am getting extreme Heartburn at the moment, there is a old wives tale that if you get heartburn when you are pregnant your baby will have lots of hair on their head......

Developments for 28 Weeks

The heart is beating at 120-140 beats per minute - twice the speed of mine. The babies nostrils have opened and 'breathing practice' continues.

By 28 weeks the baby measures about 26.5cm long and weighs about 1.3kg (3lb)

Booking in Appointment with the Midwife - Thursday 8th February 2007

I went to see the Midwife today for my booking in appointment. I heard the babies heartbeat for the first time, it was very strong and sounded like a train going along. The Midwife measured my bump and it measured 26cm, which is good as it should be a cm for each week you are. Granny came along too and enjoyed hearing my heart beat...
