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 […]

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 […]
We are now in week 34 (as from Wednesday) and what better way to start a new pregnancy week than with our fourth and last scan. Everything looked good. Little B is growing well and the placenta has moved up and placed itself where it should be. It was also confirmed that Little B is […]
I love watching pregnancy announcements on YouTube. In most of them the women surprise their partners with a gift of the pregnancy test or a piece of baby clothing. 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
In the second trimester I forgot I was pregnant all the time, but now in week 29 I am reminded way more often. The baby is making cart wheels (at least that’s what is feels like) both day and night. Little one, I don’t understand how you still can have so much space to move around? […]
Hello third trimester (as from yesterday)! I am so excited to begin this 12 week short(?) count down. The baby is about 39 cm tall and weighs over one kilogram now. Apparently the third trimester can bring out similar symptoms to the ones that are common in the first trimester. I believe that means tiredness […]
