  • Youth Ministry: If I were to do it again… – I was asked, “If you were to go back and do youth ministry again, as you once did, how would what you know now change how you would lead a youth ministry?” So, if I were to go back and lead a youth ministry again I would…

Latest developments from Pip:

  • To start the week with a ‘aw bless’, especially for you, here’s a photo of me and Mummy on the beach: http://easyrew.com/pip-at-the-seaside/ #
  • Yay – almost into the third trimester. We’re on the home straight! See you all very soon… #
  • Mummy is likely to put on about 11 pounds during this last trimester – and only some of that will be me ;o) #
  • Just back from the midwife – she listened to my heart beat & measured Mummy’s tummy. She’s very happy with Mummy’s health and my progress… #
  • Latest stats: I now weigh 2.3 pounds and measure 38 centimetres from head to toe. #
  • Happy Birthday Daddy!! My Cousins and Auntie are come to stay for a few days to help us celebrate. #
  • Just like Mummy, my own fat layers are forming nicely now. It’s all about growing outward now… #

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Sorry about the lack of updates – Daddy has been a bit busy. Normal service will now be resumed… #
  • Just heard Daddy chatting to me, so I decided to give some proper hard kicks. He & Mummy seemed to be very pleased with me… #
  • Latest stats: I now measure 36 cm / 14.5 inches and weigh 2 pounds. Another 5 or 6 pounds to go then ;o) #
  • Check out these gorgeous pictures of my cousin Amelie: http://easyrew.com/cute-overload/ #
  • I’ve now started to open and close my eyes too. Not a lot to see in here though – except when Daddy shines his torch on Mummy’s belly. #
  • I’ve only just started waking and sleeping, but I’m dreaming already. I mostly dream about swimming, and getting out and meeting everyone. #

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Still growing – I now measure14 inches/ 35.6 centimetres crown to foot and weigh a little more than 1.6 pounds/ 760 grams. #
  • Think I’m just about ready to open my eyes… #
  • What’s that sound? Wow it’s getting noisy in here. Guess that means the network of nerves to my ears is complete. #
  • Still practising my breathing – bet it will feel odd when I breathe air though, rather than amniotic fluid. #
  • Daddy’s coming home today – I’m very excited, and so is Mummy! #

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Weight-watcher stats: I now weigh nearly 1.5 pounds/ 660 grams. #
  • I now measure approximately 13.5 inches/ 35 centimetres from crown to heel. That’s quite a growth spurt in a week! #
  • I’m making stronger breathing movements but has no air in my lungs yet. Occasionally have hiccups too…weird. #
  • Scientists say that I now respond to touch. Will have to put that to the test and surprise Mummy &Daddy. #
  • Apparently if you shine a torch on Mummy’s tummy I should be able to see it. Hope they try that at Camp… #
  • Yay – my first day at MK Camp {http://www.mk-camp.com/} #

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Been quiet for a few days sorry – apparently there’s been a lot going on out there… #
  • Latest Stats: I now weigh approx. 1.3 pounds / 600 grams. #
  • I still don’t have much body fat and my skin is quite thin and fragile, but I’m now well-proportioned. #
  • My brain is growing rapidly, and I am now starting to fill the space in Mummy’s uterus – that’s why she’s eating less. #
  • Today Daddy is heading off to Summer Camp (@mkcamp) for two weeks, so he’s asked me to take care of Mummy. I’ll do my best… x #
  • From crown to heel I now measure approx. 11.8 inches/ 30 centimetres. That’s the length of a school ruler. #
