Week 14

You are each about 8cm. The size of a lemon.

Your hearts pump at 140 beats a minute and your kidneys produce urine. You have lanugo (fine body hairs) and your eyes are more in the centre of your face now.

An update on mummy:

Mummy felt better this week but still a bit sick.

My tummy is protruding more and more and I have hardness in my abdomen now too. I bought some palmers anti stretch mark cream. I get itchy skin on my legs so using more moisturiser.

I am getting excited about you and being hopeful and trusting God that you won’t get tangled in each other’s cords!

I have been singing ‘break every chain’ and saying ‘you may live and proclaim what the Lord has done for you’.

Daddy has been planning where you are going to sleep in our room when you arrive.

Been watching YouTube for ideas on what you will need and how I will feed you.

Feeling tired even on short walks. Tired but happy. I crave cheese and guacamole.

You and me..what did we do this week?

This week we managed to go into work Wednesday and Friday but still mainly working from home.

Went to friends one evening and talked about pregnancy, ate moussaka and watched ‘Bridesmaids’ and ‘what to expect when you’re expecting’ – very funny.

Mummy bought your new tandem pram (twin Icandy peach blossom in blackjack colour) in faith! It was a bargain on eBay. Mummy and daddy went to High Street Kensington to collect it from a lovely Chinese American lady called Esther. Just what I wanted for you both. The best and top of the range!

Went to visit our Nigerian friends at a BBQ to celebrate their month old baby boy. Lots of Nigerian food and some very happy guests when I said I was carrying twins!! I held their baby and thought about one day holding you in my arms precious twins.

It was nice to tell a few more people at our Wednesday group and get to know our new vicar’s wife better 😊
