Pip – Week Thirteen

May 8, 2009  |  Baby  |  No Comments

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Mummy and Daddy have been referring to me as “him” so far, but have just switched to “her” to be fair on me. #
  • I’m growing really fast now – almost 3 inches long. #
  • I now weigh about an ounce – that’s approximately the same as half a banana… #
  • Mummy & Daddy have collected my first Bounty Pack – my first nappy is safely stored in my baby-change bag ready for when I arrive! #
  • My fingerprints are now in place – amazing! #
  • If I’m a girl I already have approximately 2 million eggs in my ovaries; if I’m a boy, there won’t be nearly as many ;o) #
  • Woohoo – my ears are in the right place now! #
  • Mummy is still feeling sick a lot of the time and tires easily – sorry Mum. #

Pip – Week Twelve

May 1, 2009  |  Baby  |  No Comments

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Well that’s pretty much everything in the right place now – from tooth buds to toenails. #
  • Daddy has asked me to say ‘hi’ to all my new visitors – can’t wait to meet you all in person. #
  • Apparently I’m ‘starting to look more human’ now – how rude!! #
  • I’ve started my second Trimester – woohoo! #
  • My liver is now making bile and my kidneys are secreting urine in the bladder – what a beautiful mental image. #
  • Out with Mummy & Daddy to have my photo taken – we’re all looking forward to it. #
  • Loved having my photo taken – think I may have wriggled a little too much though ;o) #
  • Have a look and see what you think: http://snipurl.com/pip-first-scan #
  • Apparently I will be in here a little longer than first thought. D-day is now 11th November, not 8th. Good job I like it in here… #
  • If you prod Mummy’s tummy I’ll squirm – but Mummy still won’t feel me move for a while yet. Imagine the fun I can have when she does ;o) #
  • My reflexes are starting to kick in – touching my palms makes my fingers close, & touching the soles of my feet makes the toes curl down. #

Pip – Week Eleven

April 24, 2009  |  Baby  |  No Comments

Latest developments from Pip:

  • I’m now 4cm long! #
  • Almost at the end of my first trimester – whatever that means ;o) #
  • Been resting a lot these last two days, but only ‘cos Mummy has a nasty cold :o( Get well soon! #
  • Woohoo! My fingers and toes have now fully separated – no more webbed feet for me… #
  • I’ve started stretching and moving around – and I *love* it! Apparently it looks like water-ballet – not so keen on that idea though. #

Pip – Week Ten

April 17, 2009  |  Baby  |  No Comments

Latest developments from Pip:

  • Mummy slept really well last night, and is sleeping pretty well at the moment – I guess I should settle down now too – goodnite… #
  • Apparently I have a big head (wonder who I got that from) – it’s half the length of my entire body! #
  • This is roughly what I look like at the moment, gives you an idea of scale: http://snipurl.com/babyrew-10weeks #
  • I’ve just started swallowing and kicking – don’t think Mummy will feel it yet though as my legs are so tiny. #
  • Mummy and me have just been checked out by the midwife – all is well. Not sure if Daddy needs to be checked out too… #
  • I can feel my fingernails growing, and I’ve started growing tiny peach-fuzz hair (just like Daddy!) #
  • I’m pleased to say that Mummy has been feeling a little better today – less nauseous and not so tired; still struggles with smells though x #
  • My heartbeat sounds like tiny horses galloping…I guess that’s healthy though. #

Pip – Week Nine

Latest developments from Pip:

  • I’m now the size of a peapod and weigh less than a tenth of an ounce. #
  • Mummy is very tired, and I’m still making her feel sick pretty regularly, but I’m sure she’ll love me in spite of it though x #
  • By the end of this week I should be 2.3 centimetres long. #
  • Tasty! I’ve just started growing a tongue… #
  • My eyelids are fused (don’t worry though, they’re supposed to be) and won’t open for another 19 weeks – not much to see in here anyway ;o) #
  • My wrists feel more developed, my ankles have formed & my fingers + toes are clearly visible – arms are growing longer & bend at the elbows #
  • The inner workings of the ears are almost complete, and my genitals have begun to form (the two things aren’t related!) #
  • I’m going to have my picture taken on 28th April – mummy and daddy’s Wedding Anniversary – I can’t wait! #
  • I’m getting stronger – my bones are coming together now… #
