The last couple of weeks have been really lovely pregnancy weeks. Last week, we started our pre-natal (antenatal in the UK) classes. It's a very small group of us that meet on Thursday evenings at the teacher's house. It's really nice because it's very casual and quite social. Because there are only 3 other couples, we cover what ever it is we want to cover (although the teacher does make sure she covers the essentials). It's been lovely for me because I certainly don't have a social life and having other couples to share and discuss things with has been really enjoyable.
This week, my midwife was on vacation and her replacement was wonderful. During my examination, she showed me the babies head between her two hands on my belly. She showed both Wayne and I by directing our hands as well - it was amazing. She was so enthusiastic about it as well (my midwife has no personality and doesn't seem to enjoy her job in any way). It was the most enjoyable midwife appointment I've had to date - I only wish I could replace my midwife with her for good.
The most exciting thing this week is that today, we're going to have a 4D ultrasound! We're going to get an actual peek at what our baby looks like! I am so excited, I'm jumping out of my skin! I just can't wait! I'll scan the photos and post them as soon as I can. Have to run - we're leaving for our appointment in a few minutes!
My in-laws just left after a five day visit. I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday. He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old). They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit. The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery. Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display. He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful. We walked right in,
