Lovely Days September 17, 2010
Hello Little Pumpkin,
well. We’ve had an absolutely fantastic week. You’re over the cold you’ve had for 8 weeks except for a bit of a runny nose, and you wake up every morning and run about the house laughing and playing and giggling and riding your bike and reading and eating and just being full of energy and HAPPY in general.
Our week – morning adventures
I savour our Tuesday mornings, when we get on the bike and ride off to Pilates. We look at stuff along the way, have a chat, and generally enjoy ourselves. It is fun. And today, Thursdays, are pool mornings. We get up and out of the house early, do a swimming lesson, then have a second breakfast as you toddle (more…)

Hello!
Well Poogie, I’m still sick. But I’m not going to dwell on it as it’s really boring and I’m over it. So. I got a few shots of you over the past few days that I wanted to share.
The increased mobility and ease with which you roll around has meant some interesting sleeping positions. I haven’t captured any of those, but got you just after you had woken up in the cot, trying to claw your way through the bars. I’m sure I put you to sleep with your head at the other end and actually under some kind of cover…
you’re trying to work your way out..
You are doing much better than me. Today is Saturday, so thank goodness, your dad is at home to keep you entertained all day (though big thanks to Grandma K who came over to help out for a couple of hours each day when I was feeling totally rotten and got you out and for a walk etc while I slept). You have been super-excited to see and play with your dad all day, with the biggest smiles reserved for him.
Playing with dad
You’re getting so big!
Love and kisses
mum
P.S. I have been tapping away at my computer a little each day.. And yesterday we made the change – our blog is now moved and at www.my-speck.com … Our own new space to write away to our heart’s content. If you’re reading and you have it bookmarked, you can update your links, but the old blog is redirecting to our new home anyways. If you’re subscribed via emails, I think you mighta got an extra one yesterday, sorry! Hopefully it’ll all be back to normal from now. And lastly, if you already link to us from somewhere else, we’d appreciate if you could update your links (though again, the redirects will sort it out if you don’t)! thanks ..
P.P.S. Christmas is less than a week away and I haven’t managed to do much at all to get ready. Lots of presents and food NOT DONE YET. And no sign of recovery yet so a few people may be getting big hugs rather than nice wrapped gifts 🙂
so all your bits appear to be in the right spot, you've 5 fingers and an upper arm 2.19 cm long. February 3, 2009
Hiya Speck!
good news – all is well with you and you have 4 chambers in your heart, a lot of blood going around in different directions in your body (and seemingly – from the technician’s comments – you importantly have it flowing on both sides of your bladder), you have a stomach, kidneys which have a lot going on, a nose, lips, mouth and fingers and toes. In fact, the scan was quite exhaustive and lots of you was measured. You are in the normal ranges for it all. Your nose bridge bit got measured (why??).. And your upper arm (humerus) was 2.19 cm long. That was the only one I managed to ask about. The rest was too quick. Its all on the last page of the video we got.
Anyway. It was a little strange to see you down there. You are much bigger than last time and you were moving around like a crazed thing. In fact, you were kicking very hard. No I know why I can feel it – it was odd, but you were kicking at the same time as the technician was checking your legs, and I could see you kicking and feel it (right on my bladder – which was full due to the scan so it was very uncomfortable) at the same time. Bit freaky. So, you kick really hard by drawing your little legs right up almost parallel with your spine (very flexible you are!) and then moving them down and extending your feet all in one big very swift movement. I.e. A huge big kick very hard and fast. So that’s what I can feel. Your dad laughed a lot. You also look like you’re sucking or attempting to suck on the area around my placenta. Photos…
Speck - you at Week 19!
Woot! Exciting. I don’t think we need any more scans, so that might be the last time we see you before you come out. You have big thighs. Round and wide at the top like mine. And you have indents on your feet like mine too. We got a photo. Maybe all babies have them? I don’t know.
Speck - its you again!
Anyway, I love you! I am excited and your dad is too.
Your foot at 19 Weeks.
Keep at it! Love mum
