Meet Pea...

The last couple of months, since the 29th December when we found out about you, have been a complete daze of sleeping and being sleepy. I have gone through days wanting only to nap wherever possible. When my mind has been able to focus on anything but sleep and indigestion it has worried about you. Are you ok? Are you still there? Is everything happening as it should? You have taken over so much more space than you realise, you're in my every thought.

On Wednesday 27th February 2014 I finally got a glimpse of you and your beautiful acrobatic dance. While I sat waiting to have my ultrasound I was so scared you would not be there but I just hoped all would be fine. Seeing your tiny form was like nothing else and your heartbeat, what a sound! Musicians could not match its beauty, I was in love. We got a chance to see every tiny bit of you; legs, arms, brain, stomach, bladder all unimaginably small but formed. No more than 10cm I am yet to feel you moving, it will be weeks before I can. Your overwhelmed dad to be was glued to the monitor and like me did not dare miss an instant. Since this day we both long to here that tune again, that quick and clear beat your little heart made.

A couple of weeks has passed since then and again I begin to wonder if you are still growing as you should. I certainly feel bigger, my clothes begin to feel tight around my tummy but I think I am bloated more than anything. Most people know about you now, at least all those that we are close to, all those that matter to us. You even have little gifts waiting for you anxiously. 

My little peanut there are so many things we would love to know; Are you a little boy or girl? Who do you look like? What do you look like? How will you be? I Just can't wait to meet you. So for now just keep growing and get stronger and stronger I will do my best to make you comfy. 

P.S. Can you see the start of something...
