Peanut

For the lack of a better current nickname, this is Peanut. Also known as The Surprise We Couldnt Reveal Because Of The Next Blog Post. More on that later.

So this is our bundle of joy, due on New Year’s Eve. Of course, due dates mean nothing to babies, and I anticipate this one to carefully forecast and select the Hottest Day Of The Century to be born on, in January.

But we are delighted.. Really over the moon. Lots of discussion went into this decision – This is my 4th baby, and N’s first. But it was now or never, for many reasons. And we were surprised it happened so quickly! (If anything, N feels slightly cheated out of the fun part..) It was clearly meant to be.

10w, 1 day by my dates. Better pictures coming in a couple of weeks! It was so exciting to get a glimpse of him/her, and to see it wriggling and moving around so much. Great heartbeat, at 135bpm, and all the bits and bobs in the right places. Oh, and just the ONE in there. PHEW.

I have had morning sickness for the first time EVER, but thankfully over a week ago it subsided, just in time for exams. The all-day nausea was really quite difficult to deal with. Otherwise, I am feeling fantastic, positive, and overjoyed :)

The trio are very excited at having a sibling join the tribe.. apart from E, who is 10, and Knows How These Things Happen. Boy did I get an earful for that!
