Another week closer to meeting baby Twinkle, only 8 weeks to go! I really need to start getting organised. This week the baby weighs up to 4lb (1.8kg) and could measure around 45cm (18 inches) which is apparently the size of an armadillo! She should be getting herself into a head down position ready for … Continue reading

31 weeks pregnant
So the countdown is now into single figures as there are only nine weeks left to go until we meet little baby Twinkle. Which really doesn't sound long at all! This week she is about as big as a Romaine lettuce, might measure around 44.5cm and could weigh over 3.5lbs (1.6kg) but will be busy … Continue reading

I am officially three quarters of the way through now, yay! With just ten weeks left time seems to be going really fast. This week baby Twinkle could be as much as 3.5lbs (1.6kg) and 43cm (17 inches) which is apparently around the size of a cantaloupe or a platypus (minus the tail!) She is … Continue reading

Another week has whizzed by and (as this post is a couple of days late) there is less than 11 weeks to go until we meet baby Twinkle. This week she is about as big as a pineapple and could be around 40.5cm and might weigh almost 3lb (1.35kg). The next few weeks will be … Continue reading

I am feeling so excited to meet her and this just increases as the weeks go by. This week Twinkle measures somewhere around 40cm and is as big as a coconut … Continue reading

The weeks are rolling around so fast but it still feels like Twinkle's due date is a long way off yet. I am really starting to feel the physical limitations of being pregnant now, I'm just getting so big, I feel heavy and slow and all the pregnancy niggles like swollen feet and heartburn have … Continue reading
Pregnancy days – feeling a bit meh
The last 24 hours I've felt a bit meh. We all have those days sometimes I guess, but pregnancy can be hard going at times, making them a bit more likely. I have to say that I honestly do absolutely love being pregnant most of the time (though as you read through this post it … Continue reading

The weeks seem to be flying by, in some ways it seems that 14 weeks until we meet Twinkle isn't long to go now, but then I think that's still more than three months left and I'm already huge – I hope my bump slows down a little. People are always shocked when I say … Continue reading
25 weeks pregnant
I am a day late with this update (sorry, it's been a busy week!) but this week baby Twinkle is about as big as a baseball glove or a cabbage, around 35.5cm tall and weighs around 900g (close to 2 pounds). If my bump is anything to go by she is certainly growing just fine! … Continue reading
24 weeks pregnant
It feels like a big milestone to reach 24 weeks as this means Twinkle is now legally viable, so if she was to be born today her birth would be legally recognised. Hopefully she isn't contemplating making an appearance just yet though – stay where you are please Twinkle, mama needs to grow you a … Continue reading
