A peek inside my womb.....

Two weeks ago we had a 4D/3D ultrasound. This was a unique experience that opened the window to our little one's warm cosy home. The baby spent the whole hour in the same position. Facing out towards the placenta and laying sideways. I tired to drink some hot chocolate but this baby was snug as a bug.

In the pictures you can see him/her with its feet up to it's mouth. And there are some shots of its arms up near its face. This little person as so much room in there but obviously seeks comfort in using less space. My tummy is not very big and I feel this baby is going to be smaller than Maisie and what the twins may have been if they were full term. I might be wrong but within myself I am predicting a baby of about 3.5KG which is a small baby for us. I can say that this baby has the same nose as Maisie and the signature chubby cheeks like Jessie and Maisie.

As everyone knows, Nick and I know the sex of this baby and it has a name. I am now counting down the weeks till I can properly introduce this little one to you all.

I am starting to prepare myself mentally for labour and beyond. I am really looking forward to sharing this journey in the coming weeks.

The first dance....

Last Friday as a family we attended the girls first dance. It was a fundraiser at their preschool. They had to get sponsors for the night. The local pizza shop donated pizzas and all the parents brought a plate of food.

It was such a good idea to raise money and have a fun family night out. Surprisingly Maisie had the most fun out of all of us. She is a real little groover and caught the attention of many admiring parents.

We danced the nut bush, chicken dance, hockey pockey and even had a game of limbo rock. How funny it is that generations of children get a kick out of the same party dances and games.

Sadly I only have a couple of photos as our camera ran out of charge just after we arrived.
