39 Weeks I Hear You Say

39 weeks pregnant. Wow. This pregnancy is lasting forever. The baby is classed as a mini watermelon, so I’ve been telling the wife ‘she carried a watermelon’ like that there Dirty Dancing film 🤣

We’ve got the boys photo ready in the hope the baby is coming, I’ll pop in some before and after photos, and also if the wife could of she’d have bounced her way to the moon on her maternity ball.

This is the wife’s last week at work - she’s so excited as she’s starting to struggle a bit.

We had our 3rd wedding anniversary also and went for a banging meal at the harvester. Because who doesn’t love a harvester!

Still no sign of the baby. 🙄

So, What was it?

The day started sleepily. Both being rather excited to sleep very well. Having been adamant this whole time, I woke up this morning having a feeling it’d be a girl. We traveled to my parents, myself and my dad wore blue, mum and the wife wore pink. Thankfully my dad drove as I was super excited. We drove all the way to Window To The Womb in Romsey. I’d highly recommend going there over the Reading branch. The interior was really nice, staff extremely helpful and there was an abundance of parking. We checked in with the receptionist, and we had to fill out a form on a tablet. I liked the feature that we could put both of our names ‘baby of Kelly & Louise’ We got into the room for the scan, it was definitely very roomy indeed, there were 2 sofas for my parents to sit on and well as multiple screens to look at. We heard the very strong heart beat again of our little jelly bean. And saw a little 4D sneak peak. We all had to close our eyes when the sonographer was looking t...

How We Told People

Because we had been trying for so long, we had thought of many ways to tell people we were pregnant. We know it was super early, but we were super excited. And we were only letting certain people know. My parents, the wifes dad, my brother, the wifes brother and sister in law, the wifes sister, and also one of my cousins who I'm close with and 2 of my aunts and uncles. So you know, just a little circle. Bar my aunts, uncles and Cousin, everyone else got cards and baby grows announcing we were pregnant. For my cousin and her husband, they had covid at the time so we offered to take them round some Costa coffees. The first heartbreaking issue we encounter was when we gave my aunts scratch cards - they know we're generally jokers so they didn't trust us. But they scratched them off anyway, they're those scratch cards you get off amazon that basically say we're pregnant once all scratched off. So yeah, they were both shocked and excited. The one ...

Week 22 - The One With The Heatwave

Week 22 - the week of the great British heatwave. We’re currently on the 2nd day of over 35 degrees (but obviously we’ve had plenty of glorious late 20 degree days before this point). Which would normally be blooming glorious had we been abroad. But as our lovely great british houses are made to keep warmth in, you could imagine how we are all sleeping. Especially the wife. I’m waking up in the night to get playing on her phone and just struggling. Lady bug is kicking around as she’s all like mummy’s help I’m like a boil in the bag rice. Aren’t we all darling, aren’t we all! Some things have come to light this week. The wife has been really emotional, which has been hard to get a handle of as I’m used to her being like a brick wall when it comes to emotions. She’s had comments about her pregnancy belly, and the ‘strange’ line. It’s not a strange line, it’s your body. Embrace it baby. We brought a cheeky hot tub! Nice little one for the 2 of us. We had our niece and ne...
