Locked, loaded & ready...

Following a growth scan last week, it was comforting to find out that even though my bump is measuring big, baby boy is actually measuring average in size :) Phew! Now all those dreams of giving birth to a 12lb baby have subsided.

On another note, the midwife had a good old feel around at my tum on our last visit and told us that our little man's head is now engaged and he is in position, back to front, ready for birth yippee! It does look blatantly obvious from the outside too as my bump has dropped down quite significantly. Let's hope he stays that way now, only 6 weeks to go.....

32 Weeks

With the countdown into single figures and only 8 weeks until D-day mama is getting big!! Slowly but surely simple tasks such as putting on socks or shoes is a lot more effort than it used to be.

Baby Fleming is still very active but as he gets bigger, them cute little kicks are now turning into big rolls as he manoeuvres himself about and let's just say it's not always the most comfortable of experiences haha :) What is really cute now though is, when he gets hiccups I can feel it. It's so sweet...

Here we are at 32 weeks:

4D Scan

Today mummy & daddy went to sneak a peek at our little munchkin at Babybond in Leeds. It was an amazing experience getting to see baby pulling faces, pouting and sucking his thumb. It's strange to think he is making all these little movements that I'm not even aware of. He seems very photogenic and behaved himself so we could get some good pics (and I reckon he looks like his dad) xx

Our handsome little man... 

..sucking on his hand.....

..such a cute little nose.... 

..and such a pouty baby :)

28 weeks - the final trimester

Baby Fleming is getting stronger and more active by the day. It's so sweet that he's even established his own routine so he has regular times of the day where I know he'll be having a wriggle, although his 6am shuffle tends to wake me up (I don't really mind though as it makes me smile). 

He's also very sneaky... as soon as I tell anyone he's moving and they go to have a feel, he stops!! I think he just likes to make mummy look stupid - either that or he's shy :) but luckily last week I managed to catch him in action on my camera (please ignore how pale I am lol).

Here we are at 28+1 weeks...

Chunky Monkey

Mummy had her fundal height measured for the first time this morning and yep, it's measuring big - either I'm carrying a lot of fluid or I'm going to give birth to a proper little bruiser haha

24 Weeks

There have been quite a few developments in the last few weeks, my bump is coming along a treat and so is our little monkey - baby Fleming has become increasingly active and Shane can feel it too. It's even stranger now that the kicks are so strong that I can even see them as they make little ripples and humps across my tummy :)

Here we are at 24 weeks....

 

Movement!!!! at last

After weeks of 'was it, wasn't it', me and Shane settled on the sofa and as he began to talk to my bump there was the strangest sensation that made me quickly sit up.... what could only be described as my little man giving me a jab from the inside :) It was sooooo bizarre but sooooo amazing at the same time!
