Maternity Series – Week 25
Another week gone! 15 to go… I’m still feeling really good, not too tired, not too achey. You can feel and see the kicks and wriggles now – the girls think it’s really funny that we can see him moving inside my tummy! He always wakes up at night after my loo visit, and wriggles away as I go back to sleep!
I went out on my own the other day and a lady at a checkout asked if it was my first, she looked shocked when I said that it was number four ;) ha!
Thankfully the crazy lady hormones seem to have settled down a little the last day or two and I’m not crying all over the show! Baby clothes are all washed and put away in his drawers, I’m fully stocked on cloth nappies, slings and pretty much everything else I need. We’re all set and just need the bubba now.
The girls enjoyed this video, looking at how a foetus develops over the course of a pregnancy. Baya has been asking more baout how the baby got there and how it’s going to get out. We’ve talked about it before I was pregnant, but it’s a great opportunity to talk ‘birds and bees’ again now. I always answer the questions that they ask honestly, in language and detail appropriate to how old they are.

September 8, 2014 at 20:11As always, you look amazing! It’s great that you’re really honest about reproduction. Hopefully it means your kids feel at ease to talk to you about anything when they get older. x

September 9, 2014 at 10:03You look great. People always look at me in horror when I say I have 4 children, then say something stupid like “Don’t you have a tv?”

September 10, 2014 at 10:29I think being honest on a level they understand is the best way to discuss pregnancy.
The video was a really good way to help them too x
