My god 25 weeks. Where does the time go?

Today the Sprog is aprox 22cms long crown to rump (without legs) and
boy can I feel it!

Click here for 25 wk baby pic. Imagine having THIS inside you!

Today, rather amazingly, I have woken up with a bounce in my step. We
spent about ?200 on baby internet shopping last night which is really
exciting for a little baby bear.

But I was then flicking through the Mothercare catalogue and realised
that there's nothing we really need now! We have gone mad and bought
the lot!

Moses basket
Changing unit thingy with bath
Toys, rattles, mobiles, cuddly toys
Toiletries, baby box and top and tail doo-dah, thermometers, muslin
squares
Tonnes of nappies.
Bouncy chair
Baby gym
3 Wheel Travel system with car seat
Changing mat
Papoose
Bottles &; breast pump
Cot bedding and baby sleeping bags
Baby towels

Granny is spoiling Sprog even before s/he arrives. This baby has more
clothes then me and bear put together (I'm not joking either!) Mind you
I'm still not going to be able to resist those cute 3 piece baby
sets.

I really am going to have to be a bit more disciplined.

Keep catching a glance of my reflection in shop windows. Can't believe
that this round walking lump is me!

Bear is FINALLY back on the payroll, they finally got him working from
home. Should keep him out of trouble. Was very impressed last night
when I came in to see he had somehow managed to clean the flat from top
to bottom. He'd even done some one legged hoovering!

Also dentist called to say that they had to change my appointment. I am
such a coward that I see two weeks more grace as a blessing. I have
rebooked it for the same day that I have to go through the pain of the
Glucose Tolerance Test Torture. Might as well go through ALL the
torture in one day.

Ooooh weekend is within grasping distance. Yeah
