Just got back from an additional scan today (32 weeks) to check on the position of the placenta.  It was in a low position last time but has moved into the perfect position on it’s own as 90% of them do.

Here’s a picture.

The baby is growing in leaps and bounds it seems and Vic was slightly surprised when the sonographer? said that it is slightly bigger than average and we should look at something around 8 pounds

We’ve just got back from celebrating Clarie’s birthday with a long Sunday lunch at Bank Restaurant in the middle of London. Many cocktails were drunk and much lovely food was consumed

Although quite classy it must be known as an eating establishment that is quite child friendly. There were a great number of children and they even had their own area and table with loads of kiddie activities (and you could even write on the table cloth!)

After our main course most of the children had left and as we were sitting right next to the “activity table” Fiona and Claire couldn’t resist the pull of the colouring books………..

It’s 17:15 on Thursday night and I’ve just checked into the Moathouse Hotel in Stoke. I had a call from one of our salespeople at about 18:00 last night to see if I could be at a meeting up here at 09:30 tomorrow morning.   As I already had a meeting this afternoon over half the way here I said the only way I could make it in time was if I stayed up here overnight. Given such short notice Vic was very understanding

I’ll miss Vic and playing with Fidget before going to sleep though 🙁  For a while the baby has been reacting to prods and Vic sits there playing with him/her :vbg:  Way cool!

Wanna buy a house for an obscene amount of money just because someone famous once lived there?

USD 1,000,000 and counting……..

Thanks to Gina

My life feels like bullet points at the moment so this entry will follow that theme.

? Fidget had the hiccups last night!  It was very cool laying there with my hand on Vic’s tummy and feeling Fidget moving in such a rhythmic way. Poor wee thing, swallowing all that amniotic fluid 🙁

? Speaking of things pregnancy related a very funny thing happened the other night. I was rubbing Vic’s tummy as we were talking and she laughed. At the moment her tummy is flat where her belly button is but when she laughed it popped out about 2cm! Very cool :vbg:

? I was reading this post on Tom’s site and it got me thinking. One thing I really hate about using public toilets is lifting the seat – you never know what’s going to greet you! **shudder**

I think that’s all for now – we have our next scan on the 25th. It’s an additional one at 32 weeks due to the placenta being a tad low at the 22 week scan. 90% of the time the placenta moves out of the way but we need to check it……..

ciao!

I got fifth place last night at the camera club competition   The judge was a wedding photographer so I had a feeling that portraits would do well and I was screwed   All in all an enjoyable night with everyone agreeing that the winning photograph was not the best – that’s right, not a single person agreed with the judge!

On another topic the virus that got sent to us is doing the rounds so for anyone that’s noticing some weird email activity go to this page to read about what it looks like and how to deal with it. It also has a removal tool that you can use so that’s handy.

I have my second photography club comp tomorrow.  The theme and format is totally open so it should be very interesting. I like these comps as I get to see other peoples work and get my own critiqued by the professional that they pay to be judge for the night.

As I have mentioned previously I’m not very happy with what I have submitted. I have lost a bit of my photographic eye lately and so will just be making up the numbers I expect. We’ll see……

Another thing I am going to do is write a critique of each of my shots before the comp. It will be interesting to see if the faults that I pick up are the same as the pros………

I’ll let y’all know how I get on on Wednesday.
