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 #
Latest developments from Pip:
- I’ve made it to the size of an Avocado (about 5 inches long) and now weigh about 100 grams! #
- Here comes a growth spurt: will double in weight over the next three weeks, and add inches in length. Got a feeling it’s going to be tiring! #
- We’re all off to see the midwife today to make sure me and Mummy are doing ok. #
- I’ve just been checked out by the midwife: all is well. My heart is currently going at 140 bpm. # Mummy asked if her tummy was larger than expected, midwife replied: most of it is liquid and wind {tell us something we didn’t know ;o) } #
- I think I’ve found the umbilical cord – been playing about with it and squeezing it – probably shouldn’t squeeze it for too long though ;o) #
- My circulatory system and urinary tract are in full working order, and I’m now inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid through my lungs – eurgh #
- It’s great fun in here, and I think I can hear Daddy repeating the word “Dada” over and over. Can’t wait to get out though – much more fun. #

When I signed up for a hosting account with Dreamhost, the package included a free domain registration. I decided to go with a domain name which linked to the personal tagline I’ve used on this site (and in my email signature) for the last 10 years: Brain-free since ’73…
The domain in question is www.brain-free.com, and I’m currently using it as a personal portfolio site:
The site has been built with WordPress and the uses excellent Ipseity theme by H3. In time I plan to add further information to it about me, my skills and interests. I know it’s a bit of a vanity site, but I’m cool with that.
Please take a look at brain-free.com – I’d love to know what you think of it…
