What makes you tick?

Today, Little D has been more active than ever before! Normally, Clare will say "Come and feel...he's moving about!" but by the time I've got there, he's stopped his wiggling. However, this evening he's been so active that I've been able feel him for ages as he shifts himself around. He seems to respond to noises on the TV and in particular the music of Meatloaf and the Lord of the Rings film... well, I guess there's no accounting for taste!

There is nothing major to report about our appointment this week. He is still growing in his own little way. The measurements were more tricky to take because his head appears to be engaged and our consultant couldn't get a good enough view of his long bones to get a reading. His head and body are doing well so things are looking good for the big delivery. The consultant seems very happy with his progress.

We had a neonatologist in with us to do the measurement and she filmed the whole proceedings for some case study she was doing. My son's debut on the big screen...I'm so proud! Unfortunately, she didn't let us have a copy but I'm going to keep an eye on You Tube just in case!

Clare's fluid was at its highest and she is pretty uncomfortable. The extra fluid is wearing her down a bit and, even though she wants him to stay in for as long as possible, she would quite like him out so she can have her body back!

We also hit a landmark milestone on the 1st of September. Andy Jr will now be the oldest in his year rather than the youngest (which would have been the case if he'd arrived prior to the 1st). Praise God for his many blessings!

This week is a busy one. Obstetrician on Monday; Paediatrician on Tuesday; Pregnancy massage on Wednesday; Addenbrookes on Friday. Please pray for wisdom for the consultants we see and strength for Clare as she rushes around to all these appointments.
