32 weeks and 4 days

Hello again!

Hope you are well. It's been about 3 weeks since our last blog note...We are all doing fine! Sean has been to Seaford today for a Beach Lifeguard exam and I've spent the afternoon at The Plough in Litlington, enjoying food, friends (Henry, Jane, Anna, Charlie, Terry, Wayne and Jessica) and apple juice in the sunshine! Got to meet Charlie Branson who is already 6 weeks old! Very cute! Can't believe it's almost our turn...!

Anyway, saw Sandy our midwife (and her student midwife) on Tuesday at 32 weeks. All is fine, bump measured 32 cm, heartbeat was good and so was my blood pressure (125/75) etc. I have only made it to one "parenting class", Sean's not made it to any...was on a bit of a guilt trip about this but Sandy said not to worry! Have got a load of books, friends and family who can fill in if we have any questions...and I guess we'll just have to figure it out one way or another!

The cot arrived yesterday so we have our first piece of baby "equipment"! Also got a wardrobe, little cupboard thing and a belated shoe rack (for our wardrobes) from IKEA. The bathroom is all done, the shower and bath are great, the sink is lovely too. Need to clean up the tiles and paint the walls and ceiling white plus get a few bits in there, then it will be perfect! Other than that we're clearing out the office/guest room as it will be Beanie's room as well.

We had a load of snow arrive last Sunday, it was mad! Looked lovely, thankfully I was at home, Sean made it back from Seaford just in time around 2pm, as it got worse! Beautiful though, have a few pics to load up including some bump pics...as they have been requested! I keep wearing trackie bottoms and tshirts at home so not very glamourous...!

Nearly finished at work...last day is 30 April! Have got a last trip to Coventry, 2 away days with the office and my last volunteer day next Friday so that week will fly by. Then we are spending the weekend in Woking with Kath, Janet's mum, which will be nice! We have Jessica and Chris' wedding on 3 May too. So will be busy!

Hope the nice weather will stay as I have time off in May before the arrival and it would be nice to spend some of it outside!

Anyway, will stop now! Take care, miss you all and talk soon!
Love Stina, Sean and Beanie
