6 weeks 6 Days to go!

Hello Bump, (sorry we know your name be you a boy or girl and we are not telling for a few more weeks yet.

Can i just say 6 weeks 6 days bump till your here wow where has the time gone! Can’t wait to finally see you, I have been rubbing your mums belly lots and you have been kicking me a lot!!

What’s been happening since last time, well me and your mum have been to 3 baby classes so I have a very rough idea of what to expect, still feeling a little nervous about handling you, but sure that will pass. Been getting lots of practice on your niece Eve she is about 2 weeks old at the moment.

Other exciting thing is your Room is decorated and ready for you the bed is in and i have moved around our bedroom as well so Ann will have you nice and close.

Your mum is now really be with you, but i think she is doing very well, 3 weeks and she finishes work at last! I have been really nervous for her and you with all the shifts and night work she has been doing, she has had a really bad itch which has caused a few sleepless nights but I think that’s good practice.

So let’s do a little about me and your mum as we are at the moment.

Me I currently work for an insurance company called Willis, I have been there nearly 2 years and I sell commercial insurance policies. It’s a fun job with some great people and a lot to learn. I am 31 just over 14 stone and a few grey hairs!

Hobbies I enjoy playing on the computer on a MMORPG called Aion at the moment and I play a table top war game called War machine and I have just started a new army called Menoth, (I am hoping to get your mum involved in painting them for me to help try and distract her when she is on maternity)

Your mum is currently very pregnant with you and has a huge belly; she works at Salford hospital as a nurse on the stroke unit. From everything she says she enjoys her job and the people she works, occasionally has a bad shift but I think that’s normal.

What’s coming up? 

Tomorrow is our trip to the hospital for another baby class and hopefully a viewing of the maternity sweet where we are hoping you will be putting in an appearance.

I am attempting to learn a nursery song for you Swing Low sweet chariot once I find a decent version ( reason for choice is that it was the last song My Dad chose and I think it would be a nice way to have him in your life). You would defiantly off liked him and he would of spoilt you outrageously makes me smile just thinking about it.

It’s difficult though trying to find a version of it and Ann laughs at me a lot as I am not a music person and struggle with it.

Anyway, I can defiantly say I am now firmly in the exciting dad camp for you and think I’ll be a nervous wreck come July I have a count down for you at work and everything.

Anyway Love you see you Bump

Lots of Love Dad

12 Week Scan

Well 12 weeks and a few days!!,

And to start things off hello bump I can see you and I know you are in there, if you can tell this was the week of the 12 week scan. Now I must say wow!!!

lets start this by the beginning of the day, woke up and got to work, and all I could think about was the afternoon scan, had some really urgent things to get done, however just couldn’t concentrate on it was looking forward to seeing you so much. Your mum managed to change her shifts and leave work super early I think she was excited as well!!. On getting to the hospital don’t mind saying was getting a little anxious as I am not a big fan of hospitals, we must of only been there for about 5 minutes before being taken into a little side room, your mum lay down on a hospital bed and a very lovely mid wife popped some gel on her belly and turned on the scan and....

Hello little one, what a magical time it was. This was the first time I have seen you and I don’t mind saying I managed to see you before your mum got a peek in ( One of the few times I think I will be first in this process and I made the most of it!). The mid wife was brilliant at turning the camera into different areas and also made you have a little jiggle. I have now seen your fingers, toes, legs and it was fantastic I must have sat there with my mouth open for the entire experience. Even if it was only a few minutes.

After that we had a 1 hour wait to see the midwife with both me and your mum wondering what was going on and why did we need to see a midwife. Was no mention of that in any of my reading!!!. However after about 5 minutes with the Midwife where she said everything looks normal at this stage (few!! and happy days what a relief) we left. during the wait I tired to share you with my family using a picture message so those lucky few that it worked properly for got to see you within minutes of me and your mum seeing you and sorry to the other brothers and sisters I hope you now enjoy my sharing via this means.

Also Bump 1 week on  :)

Baby thoughts

Well coming up on the 12 week Mark and its all interesting. Loads
going on and not sure where to start.

Well let's start by saying I am excited. Well that's a understatement
I have spent the past few weeks reading about pregnancy and babies as
to be honest I hadn't really thought about it much. I knew you would
be coming at a certain point but had no idea when. Your mum has wanted
you to come along for years and its my fault it's taken this long.ask
me about that when your older. I think we are now in a good position
for you. And as ready as I am likely to be mentally anyway.

At this point i can see you as a little bump that has been a interesting concept as i know you are in there. and cant wait for the 12 week scan pictures of you which are 24 hours away this time on tuesday i am sure ill be a nervous reck.


As this is really a new experience both in having you and writeing things down ill leave this here

I hope you enjoy this.
