Our little lobster baby

We have news!

Percy's going to be a big brother! Due date 9th May.

The keen detectives/stalkers among you will have already worked that out. It was obvious, in the blog before last I wrote "I was flicking through this magazine at the dentist" dead give away. I generally avoid the dentist unless it's for free. I was meant to go about a year ago, but I thought "nah I'll just wait till I'm pregnant again". They phoned me up 2 weeks ago and I was miraculously ready for an appointment. Had two fillings topped up for free. Thank you NHS.

But anyway back to the baby. The scan was really fun it was moving around a lot which was cool to see, it made it's hand into a 'C' shape for the photo. What does this mean? does it want a name beginning with 'C'? It looked like a little lobster claw.

I've been sick quite a lot which has been grim. A few times I've been looking after Percy on my own while puking into a bucket, he kept asking "what you doing mummy?" and then one time he said "my be sick" and started pretending to be sick. Then he said "can't do it mummy, you do it" as if it was a chore that needed to be completed.

We told Percy the day before the scan, We showed him pictures of him in my tummy and him as a newborn and he kind of gets it to some extent. If I say "where's the baby?" he says "in mummy's tummy". He seems cool with it as a concept, who knows whether he'll be cool with it in reality. To be honest I don't know how I'll cope with it in reality either. Newborns are tough. But I'm excited to become a family of 4 and meet a whole new fresh half me half Dan human.
