Truly English

The English country Fete...It was the Wonderful Dutchmans first ever village fete....cream teas were a must!

 I couldn't take my eyes off this tiny owl, he was so cute and his nose looked just like lichen on a tree...the most perfect camouflage. 

Papa nearly won at the skittles...August was fast asleep to witness it!

Isn't this the most quintessentially English scene ever? There were Morris dancers, a dog show, raffles and smack the rat...my childhood was relived. I also won a hot air balloon flight in the raffle...so, so, so happy about that!

I cannot wait for August to enjoy these moments...running around asking for 50p for this and that game and entering his puppy into the most waggiest tail competition.

It makes me happy to know we will make this happen for him...maybe he and his puppy will win a rosette!

...and there is your baby!

As i explained to the Sonographer what happened on our weekend, I was at my lowest, convinced that i had lost our beautiful Pip.....then as the cold gel hit my tummy, and she moved the transducer over my belly...she turned the screen, and uttered those words which swelled my heart....

"and there is your baby"

S/he is in a great position, 10 weeks 6 days as of yesterday. 4 cms long! Waving away, swimming in his/her amniotic fluid like a tiny whale, looking completely content and happy.

To say we are thrilled is an understatement. I can only hope this is the last scare we have with this little Pip...s/he is keeping us on our toes already!

One happy Mum

One happy Dad

One happy Bambino

Happy days

A Waiting Game

This week has not started well...This lady is so terrified of the outcome of the weekends events.

This weekend I had a heavy bleed, I fear the worst, but I'm trying so hard to find the positive in this situation.

However I'm preparing for the worst, preparing my mind for what might lie ahead.

We are praying for a miracle, a tiny glimmer of hope is all we need.

I feel so attached to this little Pip, I cannot imagine losing s/he so early on.

Tomorrow we have an early scan (10 weeks) and we will find out.

Until then dear friends.
