Sometimes I do wonder if the bump has really been growing, so I have done a little montage to check... and yes, its definitely been growing!

Just as a postscript to DaddyB's entry thought I would add in a couple of details from yesterday's scan, and how pregnancy is going at the moment...
BabyB did look all fine and well on the screen, though MummyB thought he looked massive! Am amusing moment came early on in the scan when the sonographer hesitantly asked whether we knew what the sex was, and when we said yes she was highly relieved because BabyB's dinky was very visible and she didn't know how to hide it from us! DaddyB is very proud that his son is already so well-endowed! ;o)
The scan seemed to show that I was about 3 days ahead of my due date, so there is a chance that little BabyB will show up early. As long as he is healthy and well, MummyB wont be disappointed!
All else in the pregnancy is going well. MummyB started maternity leave yesterday, and it is a massive relief to not have to trek to work each day, and gives her lots of time to get all the little jobs done which she has been saving. She went to the supermarket today to buy lots of ingredients, so over the next couple of days there will be loads of yummy healthy meals going into the freezer, ready for life post-Baby!
MummyB is still a pretty achy, but is happy thats the only real complaint at the moment. Appetite also seems to be massive, so BabyB is obviously craving the calories to help continue his growth! At the moment it is not unusual for MummyB to have two breakfasts (the first one being at 5.30am when huge hunger pangs wake her up) or to be found spending most of the day snacking on cakes and fruit between meals. Thank goodness for tesco doing an offer on Mr Kipling cake boxes!
So bump is still growing... though mummy is wondering whether it can really can any bigger... and if it does, whether she'l ever be able to get up from the sofa without help!

4 weeks and counting
We had the 36 weeks scan yesterday. Main reason was to check that Placenta had moved and natural birth was going to be possible.
All was perfect :-) Our little boy is just fine and weighing about 5lb10 at this moment in time. All his measurements are just about centre of the bands they should be so we couldnt ask for anything more.
Now really really cant wait to meet our little boy in the flesh.

Well almost there
Well nursery is about as ready as its going to be. Clothes are in wardrobe, we have alot of the basic creams wipes nappies etc in changer.
Decoration of nursery is as complete as its going to be for now.
Get more and more nervous as days go by and we get closer to the day our boy enters this world. I still havnt done all the reading I should have :-(
What we have done is alot of working getting the garden up to scratch for the summer. Hundreds of bulbs have been planted. Lots of plants as well to ensure a nice bright colourful garden this summer.
Tonight we try and complete the packing of the bags :-)

32 weeks and 3 days
Well, only 53 days until our due date, which is still feeling so near yet so far...
Mummy & DaddyB are pretty much ready, with everything pretty much bought and organised.
MummyB begins her maternity leave in 3 weeks, which is is looking forward to, not least because of the bad backache she gets having to spend 2 hours in the car commuting... DaddyB will probably be relieved when he doesn't have to massage Mummy every night too!!
Mummy is getting lots of aches and pains now as BabyBeaumont gets even bigger, and stronger - sometimes he is kicking MummyB so hard it is bruising her inside!
BabyBeaumont is stealing so much iron from Mummy though, that she now needs to take supplements to make sure there is enough left over for her. But the midwife says he feels perfect and is already in the right position for the big day!

MummyB's bump at 32 weeks... everyone thinks she looks ready to pop! No wonder she has such bad backache ;o)
