Gemma’s pregnancy has now past the half way stage.

Knowing this makes everything seem all that much closer. The time has flown by since we found out that Gemma was pregnant. It really doesn’t seem that long ago at all. That means that its not long to go until all those sleepless nights again!

There is not huge amounts of news to report at the moment. The baby is kicking a lot more, he must be practising his technique for the football team. Gemma’s bump is expanding quite rapidly now, and she is looking really glowing with it.

I’ve finally managed to scan our latest ultrasound picture from our 18-20 week scan, which you can see now below.

He is looking a lot bigger now, as you’d expect, and here is what he looked like at 12 weeks.

The other day we went to Mothercare to get a few things for the baby’s bedroom. We got a wall border, curtains and a lightshade, plus a Grobag (sleeping bag, for those not in the know) for the baby to sleep in when he’s big enough. Once we’ve finished transforming our garage, we can finish off the bedroom.

There’s something quite magical about feeling your baby kick for the first time.

For the past couple of weeks Gemma has felt our little moving about inside her belly, but last night was the first time I’d be able to feel it. Even though I’d experienced the same thing when Gemma was carrying Ellie, it still felt just as thrilling.

He’s obviously getting a lot bigger and stronger now. His kicks are being felt on the outside now. I’m not sure what was going on in there, but I can imagine that he was trying out for the Welsh football team! He was having a good old thrash around. I don’t think he appreciated all the attention.
