Pip – Week Sixteen


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. #
