Its been a while since the last post but things have been far from static in Naomi's belly. After a month that started with our first picture for the family album, there is a definite roundness beginning to take shape, and a real sense of something living inside Nays. All is going very well at the moment, everyone knows now and it was amazing showing people the scan picture, but I'm a little concerned that the mood swings are yet to materialise, I think maybe they're being saved up and with a month left I'll get tumble dryered. But I'm not complaining. Nays has her appetite back and she's not so tired, though as I write this she's sleeping at 4 in the afternoon (her boss won't be reading this), and I'm soldiering on, its tough though. We went to Brighton last weekend for Herb's 30th (yes 30th) and Kristy brought her ultrasonic microphone thingy that lets you hear the baby's heartbeat. I was a bit unsure cos its one of those things that can cause panic if you don't hear what you think you should, but it was amazing, the little heart was pounding away clear as day, its those things that make you realise how amazing this whole thing is. And also think f**k.
Things are moving pretty fast now. Nays belly seems to get bigger everytime I get home from work. She's started to feel movements too which is really mad, still can't feel any kicking from the outside but she knows its there. We cleared the small bedroom out for the baby which was quite a strange feeling, its like preparing the room for a new housemate or something, its weird to think that in 4 months time there'll be 3 of us living here. Been putting off buying stuff but that needs to start too, the list gives me a headache but its got to be done. Mom and Dad came down and brought Willy and the Square World, my favourite book when I was little so thats in place ready for me to read. Not sure whether its a particularly good idea exposing a baby to Jeffrey Archer at such a young age but it tugs the heart strings anyway.
