Mike and I are both keeping very well, although I did get very sick Monday through to Tuesday this week. I have recovered now. Mike thinks it was 'The Vomiting Bug' which has been going around here. My symptoms did seem to corroborate that!
Mike has redefined my size recently as 'barrel'. Not very complimentary I would say! But, he has felt the baby kick and was very pleased! I feel it nearly every day at the moment, but still very lightly. The last scan (10 days back) showed everything going well. Measurements all seem to be on the median line.
I have been to Mothercare already, and it is a good store. Do they have it in NZ too?
We had the first baby scan photo at 13 weeks. I have since had the 20 week scan and got a photo from that too. There is just one baby on the scans - unless the other one is very good at hide and seek! We don't want to know the sex until it pops out, but I haven't detected any 'dangly bits' on any scan so far. Mind you, I can hardly tell hands and feet, so how I would recognise anything else is stretching things somewhat!
Mike is working as a normal contractor again now, after being in a startup for about a year. He seems very happy with his new job. He comes home happier every evening now. And I was speaking to our friend's partner, who also left the company when Mike did, and she said the same about him. And Mike's happiness is what counts the most anyway.
I have finished my study, but I suspect I should be starting some more to keep any boredom away. I may do some database work, as I only have one exam that covers that, and it doesn't date as fast as other IT skills.
I went to Wimbledon and I'm holding out hopes for a visit to the French Open next year, just to round things off. A trip to Lords is also something I want to see.
Mike and I went down to Buckingham Palace for the Tuesday of the Jubilee long weekend. We were in a crowd of 1,000,000 other people! It was worth it just for that experience!
