and so it begins...



The third trimester has dawned.
... and with it, a growing reality that we will be soon be parents to a tiny little screamer. . Many friends have asked for photos of the happy parents to be, and the growing bump so here it is.
Things are going well - baby is growing every day, and oh-so active. It's done nothing but kick me all day today.
We did a bit of preparation this christmas and new year holiday : bought some sheets for the cot, ordered a new mattress online, went to the hardware shop and bought some bolts to put the cot together. Baby now has a bed to sleep in. I bid for a 'moses basket' on eBay, but didn't win it, so will keep looking.
We've done a bit of planning too : dates for mum (grandma) to visit, and the on-going name saga.

FETAL FACTS :
In the last 2 days the baby has grown eyelashes. It can now respond to light and dark as it's eyes open and close.

I think this site is awesome! You are so clever and what a lovely photo!
Fact: Sienna was born with almost no eye lashes that I could see, and now they are about 7mm long! She slept for 9 hours in astretch last night! Yayeee!

I know you two will make fantastic parents to the little bump. I'm really so excited about a baby that's not even here yet. The Lord has been good to you both, I pray that His hand will be on baby through pregnancy, and for the rest of it's life.
