Week off!

After the excitement of a few weeks ago we have settled back down to a nicely normal life again. I've returned to work with no problems (apart from a little stress), and have now managed to make it to the end of half term and a well earned rest. Mum and dad are in tenerife so have had to rope in a number of Helpers to pick up/ drop off Mia. But we've managed!! Baby seems to have grown a lot and my belly has the odd day where it looks much bigger, then seems to deflate again, feel a bit like Beyonce!! Baby is now 19 1/2 weeks and 24 cms long, and is a complete fidgeter like it's dad!!!!
We are now counting the days to the next scan on thursday, when we hopefully find out what sex boo is and we can finally stop calling it 'it' and can start the shOpping woop (Huw is not so thrilled about this part)!!! Recently dragged him round MothercAre to a lot of "how much"s and "do we need that?" so may have to go without him and with the MIL instead who will be far more excited about the baby shopping!!
Have had a little early nesting where I've spent hours moving furniture and dusting and polishing skirting boards (I kid you not)!! Have also got back into baking and have made a vanilla and buttercream sponge which will hopefully wing it down west to the IL's tomorrow, if Huw doesn't eat the lot!!! prety sure the nesting was a quick phase as I definitely have the CBA feeling at present!! Never mind, a lovely week off, some time down Broadhaven and family coming down to stay. Mia has cheer camp for a few days so a couple of girlie shopping trips are in order. May find it difficult to resist buying Boo a few little things. I can buy some White can't I??!! :)
