Big baby???

So with the scan last week measuring Edge's head in the 95th centile and the news from both Grandma's that we each weighed 9lbs 3oz at birth, it looks like we won't be having a tiny baby!! The midwife told me today that babies birth weights are around the average of the parents birth weight. So unless Edge makes an early entrance...show me to the pain relief!!

Anniversary surprise!

Straight after our scan, Richard took me for a surprise 8th wedding anniversary trip to Swanage. He had arranged with my work for me to have time off and had packed for me. 

Swanage is a special place for us and it was Edge's first visit there. We stayed in a B&B called A Great Escape, run by a slightly eccentric lady called Sue and had a lovely room. For dinner we walked to Gee Whites and shared tempura prawns and a massive cod, chips & mushy peas. We took a walk along the pier and found our plaque. We took photos of us both and Edge with our plaque. The evening was finished off eating a '99' flake watching the sun set over the bay. I couldn't have wished for a happier anniversary. 

The next day we went to Brownsea Island, via the ferry and little island boat. We felt old, having joined the National Trust, then eating our lunch of soup and a roll!! We saw peacocks and noisy chickens and strolled around enjoying the warm sun. 

On our way home that evening we stopped at Kiddicare - a massive baby store - and looked at buggies. Who knew there were so many to choose from...and we're still not certain which one to go for!

We talked and talked in the car (and I dozed a bit!). I love Richard so much. I told him that I didn't think it was possible to love him any more than I already do, but I adore him so much and love him more and more everyday. I love Edge more and more everyday too and can't wait until he or she arrives, so we can all have fun adventures together. 

All Good At 20 Weeks

Head - Bigger than average

Leg - Smaller than average

Feet - Just right

Everything looks just perfect. We spent a little longer watching Edge today. The ultrasounder had to do a detailed check of all the major organs etc and all was well. The only time we couldn't watch the screen was when she checked 'down there' as we don't want to know if Edge is a boy or girl. We will find out soon enough. 

Although we have listened to Edge almost every day we haven't had the pleasure of seeing since 8 weeks ago. 

Such fun :-)

Waiting for 20 Week Scan

Well here we are again. Weeks have travelled by an now we are waiting for our 20 week scan. It's our anniversary today. 8 years. 8 years of being with the most amazing person I could imagine. 8 years of being married to my best friend. And today, we get to celebrate our anniversary with a scan. Almost every day we listen to Edge but today we get to see Edge. 

I don't think I am nervous. I'm excited an looking forward to seeing how much edge has grown. We may even find out whether we will have a boy or girl. Hopefully not but you never know. 

Happy Days :-)
