Busy busy busy, baby

OK, I know, I know, it's been a while, but your Dad's been busy working, see? Lots of stuff going on. You are 17 weeks-ish as I type this. Go you! We have finished the nursery! Go us! Go team! Pics to follow a trip to Bristol this weekend, during which we are buying your cot and various other 'essentials'.

Exciting midwifery update this week, in the form of our first opportunity to listen to your healthy-as-hell ticker, thwacking methodically away at a steady 135bpm. A good tempo, that. Brisk. Lots of my favourite songs hover around 135, and I for one am taking this as a good sign.

Other than that, I don't have a great deal to tell you. We are studying up on your various needs when you emerge, and are this week contemplating having you at home (carpets be damned!). Your mum looks radiant, and is mostly rocking dungarees these days. And no bad thing, given your insane expansion plans. She is in London working at the moment, but I will post a new photo on her return.
