Week 16

You are now 11cm. The size of an avocado.

You kick and somersault and have perfectly formed fingers and toes. You can frown. You now breathe in and out tiny amounts of amniotic fluid, getting ready for when you breathe outside mummy’s womb.

An update on mummy:

This week I have been off the progesterone pessaries as I shouldn’t need it anymore but a blood test showed it was a bit low for twins so going back on them to ensure you are going to be ok!! Thankful to God for his provision and that we have been prescribed progesterone from the Life Fertility clinic and having blood tests.

Whilst on holiday mummy had her first colostrum. My bump is harder and bigger. Sleepless moments at night time. Less nausea but still need to eat breakfast as soon as I get up.

Only feeling sick in the mornings. Feeling up and down. Craving feta and salads.

You and me … What have we been doing this week?

Mummy and daddy were very excited to take you on your first trip abroad. We flew to Kefalonia for our 10th wedding anniversary. Very hot but beautiful scenery. Mountainous drives, stunning beaches, noisy cicadas, cute geckos, turtles at the harbour, glistening pool and shady gardens. Long road names on google maps. The planes flew over Ammes beach. Kittens and cats hungry for feta, wasps wanting our food but the Greeks used burning coffee! Pythos, lake in a cave.
