Expecting Bubble (written months ago but forgot to post)!

So as most of you are probably aware we are expecting baby number 2, known as bubble.  We are so excited to be expecting a little girl, although I still don’t quite believe the Dr and I am being very cautious at buying anything girly.

We have been very fortunate that friends with older babies are passing their clothes to us. It is funny with Myles we had 95% of things brand new, even though people tell you how little you will use things. This time we are so happy to receive hand me downs, the new born clothes are barely used and as I am discovering, it is much better to save the expense until they are older and wear their clothes out with all the running and park time.  

We have begun the process of choosing names, with one standing out to us. It has been on our list since we had Myles, but with so many friends having babies we are waiting and hoping that the name is still ‘available’.

This pregnancy has been quite different then with Myles. Firstly, this time I had the dreaded morning sickness, although it seemed to last all day and I frequently had to get into bed in the afternoons. I am so lucky that our son is chilled and happy to play and spend time with mummy!

The other difference is having a two year old to run around after! Quite often, now the sickness has passed, I forget that I am pregnant. We have told Myles he is going to be a big brother and there is a baby in my belly. The first time he heard this he laughed as if we were completely crazy, as time goes on he seems more accepting of the idea but I think its fair that he still finds it a little odd!

My brain is slowly leaving me, I cannot retain information for long and I am sure my poor husband hears the same conversations at least twice a day as I forget what I have said! 

We are now in the last trimester and time is passing so quickly. My next main challenge is an 11 hour flight back to the UK at 7.5 months pregnant, in economy… with a Myles! It will be our last trip until baby is born in late February.

Fingers crossed that the rest of the pregnancy continues as text book and in just over 3 months we have a loud, manic household. 

It seems here in California they automatically give you some 3d scan pictures. Pete and I personally find these a little weird but it is very clever,  bubble didnt want to play and hid so we only got this one! 

A 3d image ... kinda freaky! 

Update: I survived the flight although would NOT recommend it to anyone in late pregnancy! Only 26 days to go until due date.
Myles is now referring to himself as a big boy and seems happy there is a baby in my belly... Poor thing will get a shock when she's here and demanding attention!
