week 40

Today is the due date! It’s hard grasp that the date that we have been looking forward to for so many months is finally here. However, there is no little Lannefors-Turnbull baby in sight (no we have not decided on the surname yet), and there are no real signs that he will be here any […]

week 39

I keep thinking it’s only one week left of this pregnancy but of course I’m aware that it might just as well be three. I had my last midwife appointment on Monday. The baby is still in the correct position and we could hear a good, strong heartbeat. I raised my concerns about the fact […]

week 38

I just need to start off by saying – how on earth can there be a fully developed baby in there?? Yep, the baby is now completely ready to take on the outside world! How amazing is that!? Yesterday we passed 38 weeks and every day I have to remind myself that we are getting one […]

Week 37

I have been back in London for a week now after a relaxing and fun time in Sweden. Not only did I get to spend 10 days in beautiful Österlen but I was also surprised with a baby shower organised by my wonderful friends. I can’t believe that they were able to pull it together […]

Other times the couples surprise their families in similar ways. I think it is an absolute joy to watch! Before getting pregnant I was thinking I […]

I think Little B has now positioned himself correctly. Yes, we are expecting a little boy. I thought I would put it out here on the blog as it feels a bit impersonal to refer to him as “it”! Anyway, the reason why I believe he is now in the right position is because I […]

week 32

The UK is going through a heatwave and it has been about 30c for almost a week now. It’s not the ideal last trimester temperature, but one should not complain! But if I can complain a little I would say that the heat is challenging my mood. The other morning for example I was getting […]

week 31

I didn’t manage to make an update for week 30 as I was sick and passed out in the bed all last week. Today at lunch time Kiwi and I made a visit to Rosemary Gardens, which is a park 5 minutes from our flat. It was so nice to feel the sun on the […]

Do I have Gestational Diabetes?

Good morning from a rainy and grey London. It was many weeks ago the rain was this heavy, but the sound of it is calming and restful. I have made myself a cup of green tea from Pukka. It’s smooth and warm and the perfect contrast to what’s going on outside the window. Since coming […]
