baby pilk kicked david in the head!

hey

so baby moves around a lot now, the only way i can describe it is like bubbles popping inside you... but the more you get used to it the more it feels like a baby moving around... david was trying to listen to baby swimming around last week and baby pilk didnt like it, so baby pilk decided to kick daddy in the head... how funny! this baby doesnt like it when the midwife tries to listen to its heart beat either and kicks away... which is funny to feel it and hear it on her machine at the same time. everything is fine with the pregnancy... i am measuring perfectly the right size at the moment, the only complaints i have are terrible heartburn which used to be only in the evenings but is slowling creeping into my day aswell. Whoever created double action, mint gaviscon i will love forever!!!! i have a bit of a bump thats been forming now since about week 19 and it seems to get bigger every day... this is me at 21 weeks...

so baby pilk is growing fine and dandy, we are so happy in our new house (well we moved in jan, so not that new), its great having a garden, i even did some gardening this week... oooh there is a first time for everything! We dont have a lot of baby things yet but are slowly getting things together... still have 18 weeks to get it all so no rush at all! I am still working and plan to work until the middle of June - about 34 weeks pregnant so should be pretty huge by then ha ha ha.

David just finished a 2 week placement at Gloucester hospital audiology department which he totally loved! he got to work a lot in the paediatric dept and test lots of little babies hearing. He espcially enjoyed meeting "the cutest little downs syndrome baby ever" for some tests. I love it when he works on placement because i see how happy he is going to be in his job when he graduates from university. He struggles sometimes at uni, he loves the lectures and finds then really interesting and loves learning, but he hates essays - i think we can all relate! but starting in september he will be working at southmead hospital full time (and he will be getting paid woop) and then it wont be long before he qualifies! The only thing i didnt like about his placement this time was the commute... he left the house before i got up... about 6.30am and he didnt get back until around 7pm... yuck... i never want him to commute again! I want to live cycling distance to where he works! I missed him so much. Now i am grateful for that opportunity as it really reminded us how much we love each other and really love spending time together in the evenings!!!!!!

the other exciting thing in our lives right now is that on saturday we are getting a new car... wooop, our car has served us well and considering david got it for £300 2 years ago it has done well... but it doesnt always start first time now and it needs a service and some work doing... so we thought now is a good time before baby arrives to get a more reliable car with 5 doors, so here is the pic... its a bargain and we are super excited... me mainly about the size of the boot ha ha ha ha seriously you could fit 2 or 3 adults in it comfortably ha ha ha ha.
