Coolest Hat in the World

She takes after her Dad

The little lady seems to have developed a habit of her Father’s:

Taken from her second set of scans:

Note the similarly extended middle finger….  ‘course, back then, I called it, now a her, a little B*$£^%!!!! – should have called it the little B*!&h.

Sweetpea updated

Just back from our week 37 appointment in the maternity. Judy continues to amaze me. It’s all good. Scan indicates The Bump is approx. 6lbs.2oz. Also clearly visible, Sweetpea has it’s father’s dashing good looks, is tall, also just like it’s father, and incredibly intelligent. Not surprisingly, also like it’s father.

Ok, the last bits were maybe stretching the bounds of reality.

It does have my nose though.

Of course our little bundle of joy is fast approaching the time when it’ll be joining us in the extra-womb world.  As it’s getting bigger the scan photos are getting harder to make sense of what you’re seeing.  Nonetheless I’ve included a few shots from the 35th week and 37th week scans.

Week 37:

Sweetpea

So, not wanting to burden the child with any names which might pigeon hole it, i.e. Kung Fu Panda, we’ve settled for the moment on Sweetpea.  31 week scan passed relatively well, slight concerns about the blood flow through the umbilical cord and that the baby was a bit skinny.  Long and thin is fine with Mum though, at least when Sweetpea decides it wants to join the world outside of it’s womb.  We’re now on a fortnightly scan schedule to monitor the growth of Sweetpea so here are some of the scans from week 31 and as a bonus, so you only have to read one post from me, I’ve also included week 33′s scans.  But don’t worry, there’s still week 35, 37 etc. to go yet.  We’ve had our first Anti-natal class as well, on the 17th of November.  Very illuminating.  We were one of a minority of Irish nationals there, and without sounding too bloody racist, I started to get really sick and tired of the constant chatter in the background as the other people present translated what was being said to their native tongues.  I was well focused on what was being said so I really could have done without the chatter.  God help them next week if they don’t shut up!  Anyway, here’s the photos.
