Latest developments from Pip:
- Just been swimming. Well, Mummy has and I went along for the ride. Great fun. Can’t wait to try AquaAerobics on Wednesday after my scan… #
- Just playing with technology. I guess I take after Daddy. #
- Starting to develop a whitish coat of a slick, fatty substance covering my body; protects my skin from the long bath in amniotic fluid. #
- Yay – having my photo taken again later today. I’ve combed my downy hair especially – must remember to wave to Mummy & Daddy – more later. #
- Forget artist’s impressions – here’s what I really look like: http://bitly.com/pip-20wks {sucking my thumb!} #
- Apparently after I swallow amniotic fluid my body absorbs the water in the liquid and moves the rest into the large bowel. Sounds gross! #
- I’m looking much more normal in my latest portrait: http://snipurl.com/babyrew-20weeks #
- But lots of people say they prefer my scan photo than the artist’s impressions :o) #

Latest developments from Pip:
- Woohoo – I’m officially half-way to being ‘cooked’ today. It’s been quite a ride – looking forward to the second half. #
- Latest stats: I now measure around 6 inches/ 15 centimetres long from crown to rump and weigh about 9 ounces/ 240 grams #
- Artist’s impression of what I look like now; if this is right I’m definitely going to be a contortionist: http://snipurl.com/babyrew-19weeks #
- I’ve got hair sprouting on my scalp! Daddy is going to be so pleased! #
- The nerve cells for taste, smell, hearing, seeing, and touch are now developing in my brain. Can’t wait to test each of them out… #
- The next ten weeks or so will be my busiest and most active time apparently – soon Mummy’s womb will be too crowded to have fun. #
- Mummy & Daddy are taking me to see my Gran & Granddad, Aunt and Cousins in Andover this weekend. #

Latest developments from Pip:
- Latest stats: I am now 6 inches/ 14.2 centimetres long from crown to rump and weigh about 7 ounces/ 190 grams… #
- My chest is now moving up and down to mimic breathing but I’m not taking in air, only amniotic fluid – nice. #
- Here’s the latest pic which shows you roughly what I look like and gives you an idea of size and scale: http://snipurl.com/babyrew-18weeks #
- This is the week for presents: thanks Donna & Andy for my lovely cardigan; thanks to Dawn for my lovely toys – can’t wait to play with them. #
- I need to kick a little harder – Mummy says she can’t feel it yet. Perhaps I’ll try some somersaults whilst she’s trying to sleep ;o) #
- Woohoo – more presents – this time a beautiful play mat from Adam and Pippa’s Nan – thank you! #

Latest developments from Pip:
- I am now an impressive 5.5 inches/ 13 centimetres long from crown to rump and weigh approximately 5 ounces/ 140 grams. #
- This week a protective substance called myelin will begin to slowly wrap around my spinal cord. Sounds nice… #
- Off to Silverstone with Mummy to “run” the Race for Life – 5k here we come! #
- My skeleton is mostly rubbery cartilage, which will harden later. With wobbly bones I’d probably dance like Daddy if I tried at the moment #
