24 weeks today....25/7/2011

i can't believe i am now 24 weeks pregnant with you my lickle moon. everyday i am amazed that i have a baby inside me, growing from something that was once too small for us to see by our eyes alone. but now you are so big i can see you kick and wriggle and head butt me all day long. i can tell you're going to keep me busy when you're here because you are always on the go, day and night.

today was a big milestone for me lickle moon, because i know now that there is a chance if you were born early you could still survive. i know that is a really strange way to think, but i suppose because of the work mummy does, seeing lots of very premature babies, this is something i am very aware of, of course i hope you stay in mummys tummy until november though and i'm very sure you will. mummy has to just stop finding things to worry about, (silly mummy).

we are starting your nursery now, mummy has created a beautiful, giant, winnie the pooh mural, which your grandad is going to get printed for you at his work. and then your aunty lucy and mummy are going to paint it. it is going to fill the whole wall, i really hope you like it. we have all of your furniture ready to put together but we need to find you some bedding and curtains that will match your fabulous room.

i also just bought your 'just born' outfit, ready for the day you are here with mummy and daddy. its got thumper on it and it is so sweet. you have matching vest, sleep suit, hat, booties, bib and even a sleeping bag - you will be the most co-ordinated baby. (much to daddy's disaproval i also bought you a pair of little shoes, now you can only wear these if you're a girl because they're girls shoes, but they are so cute and also a bargain so i had to get you them...just in case hehe)

and today.... mummys friends started to plan our baby shower, i am really looking forward to this because then every one will come together to celebrate mummy (and daddy) expecting you and might also bring you a gift or too.

so, we now have less then 16 weeks to go until you are due to be here and mine and daddy's arms. i cannot put it into words how excited we are that you are coming but its all starting to feel very very real. especially as everyone things im so big carrying you already.... i dread to think how round mummy is going to be by the time you are due... the world 'blimp' comes to mind lol. but mummy doesn't mind in the slightest, as long as you're safe and happy.

love you lots and lots my lickle moon,
love mummy xxxx
