Things that go bump in the night...

Like my second child. In fact, he kicked so hard the other night it was actually in my dream. Weirdness! He is most certainly making funky moves and doesn't appear to fit as snugly as his brother did BUT that could well just be me not remembering what my first pregnancy was like. This beautiful child is all arms and legs! I'm not complaining, God knows I need this. And it is wonderful to feel and see him move at all hours. When I was expecting Josiah, he used to have periods of wakefulness and then some time when he was clearly fast asleep. This little pickle doesn't appear to ever be tired. I wonder what he'll be like...I am completely fascinated by this thought.

Norty...

I had some pate and toast this morning...I've also had brie this pregnancy. I was told that a lady in Morrisons worked her way through the cheese counter when she was expecting so I don't feel all that bad now! I imagine if I get listeria, so will Elle who also indulged with me.

30 weeks...

I have 70 days to go or 10 weeks left! Oh wowza. Weirdness.

I'm feeling very pregnant now. This boy child within me is moving constantly which is highly lovely, albeit sometimes slightly uncomfortable. I believe he has now turned around so is head down or just grown so big it feels different when he kicks! But I'm definitely feeling kicks under my ribs rather than a head shoved underneath!

He is about 40cm top to toe and currently won't be able to feel temperature or pain yet as his nerve endings are still maturing. Something I never knew. It's so strange to think we're going to have TWO children. Thankfully, Josiah is completely fascinated by the idea of a baby in my tummy and always wants to involve the baby in what he's doing. Which is just lovely and very reassuring. I have been very emotional this week, very, very emotional I mean. Daft stuff. Hormones.

Today at the prayer meeting, I was praying for my boys and started praying for the Holy Spirit. As I did so, the baby (who was very quiet for a majority of the time beforehand) suddenly sprang into action and created the most incredible shapes in my tummy, as soon as I finished he stopped. I love that this one loves God just as much as his big brother.
