Another two weeks

Due to flu and various other ailments, it's been two weeks since my last update (again). My nasal passages hurt like hell, I have a mild dog cough and on Saturday I managed to break a wisdom tooth on a Jelly Tot, but apart from that, the world is good!

The twins continue to grow at speed, Elly and I spend a lot of time now with our hands on her tummy feeling all the kicks and movements and there are some evenings when you can almost imagine they're dancing in there!!

For a couple of weeks we were also convinced we could feel them inside the uterus. Now and again her tummy would be hard and we decided it was a head/bottom/large bony bit sticking out, it turns out it's a Braxton-Hicks contraction - a sort of trial contraction - which happens quite regularly at this point in the whole pregnancy process - bah humbug, I liked it better when we thought it was the girls!!

Mrs Tink, our tiny little tortoiseshell cat seems to be pining for Rasher at the moment, for the last two weeks she's been off her food and won't settle, wandering around the house shouting at anything and everything. As I've been off for a week she's spent a lot of time sitting on my knee and I wonder if it's made a difference and settled her a bit. Yesterday she went back to her own bed on the landing for the first time and she even settled into Ham Time again. Poor old Monkey, she's stone deaf and for the first time ever, the only cat in the house, it must be very confusing for her. Fingers crossed she'll be OK.

In happier news, we're off for another 4D scan on Saturday and according to the latest pregnancy info they should have their eyes open so here's hoping for a really cool DVD - it'll be the last time we see them before they're here for real in February next year!
