Hey Ladies.. I'm back! (If you noticed I wasn't here lol...)
I've been in London for 3 days and it was FAB. I've tried to catch up, so before I forget...
Teeny, your little man is GORGEOUS!!!! His nose looks perfect - I must say I was a little worried myself when I saw my baby on the 3d ones as s/he seems to have a fat-ish nose.. And looks pretty masculine to me, so if it's a she i'm worried that she'll be really ugly! But this is the first time I've (kinda) said it out loud.. and I feel awful for even typing it. No-one else has mentioned my bub's nose, and i'd be fuming if they had (especially if it was perfect like your baby's is!). Still, I'll love my little bubs no matter what... It just came as a shock to me as DD looked COMPLETELY different, and so petite (but they do have different dads).
Lovely scan pic MrsJ!
I LOVE the yummy mummy bags, but can't afford one - especially with London. Bekklez - I'm not having a Glucose test this time, but I had one last time and I passed it. I can remember i didn't like it very much! Oh, and chalk me up as another one with 'damp' issues - I'm glad it's normal!
Well, London was amazing. We got there Tuesday lunch time, and went to the Natural History Museum, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey etc.
Wednesday we visited Buckingham Palace, Downing Street etc. We also saw Macbeth at the Globe (which I cried my eyes out at - there's a scene where some children get murdered and one looked just like my daughter - not pleasant!) but it was so well acted and so good to see how it'd have been originally performed - It's the best performance i've ever seen. We did the Globe tour too, then went to the Tate modern, and had a sightseeing trip back down the Thames by boat.
Today we got up early and went to Madame Tussauds, then the Hard Rock Cafe and home.
So, overall a REALLY packed few days - I can't believe how much walking i've done. I don't have any ankles anymore; my feet just blend into my feet, with little sausages on the end that are my toes. I also can't believe how nice people were on the tube offering me their seat - I know it's a stereotype, but I didn't think that anyone would offer in London, especially with the tube being so packed. It was really refreshing - we even got to skip the que into Madame Tussauds so I didn't have to stand about.
I think it was maybe a bit much for me now that i'm home, but it was definitely worth it. We spent a fortune, but it's the last holiday-type getaway we'll have till our honeymoon this time next year.
Another thing I noticed was a small, regular tapping in my tummy - as if bubs was kicking me in time to a drum. It wasn't till I read a pregnancy mag that I realised that they were probably hiccups - how cute!
Right i'd better dash - got all my unpacking to do!
