I hope you’ve had a good week? Another crazy one in my world, but alas it is the weekend now and lovely it is too. Other than a general panic about the fact I have a driving lesson tomorrow all is well. All is really well in fact. We had a scan yesterday 
52mm’s of incredibly wriggly loveliness, that even waved hello before going to sleep.
012 week scan - Pip 2
So our little family will be getting bigger at the end of April/early May next year. When we had Tilly’s first scan I stared at it for days, sporadically crying, just overwhelmed by the rush of emotions I felt. This time round I was much calmer (a few tears in the scan still) but not the same levels of emotion post scan. I think it’s because it just makes sense, I love being dad, it’s my favourite thing to do, and it’s what I’m best at and another baby just adds to all the love in our house.
In honesty there is another part of me that is a bit ‘cripes there will be two of them’, but that’ll all come out in the wash. I am nervous that I won’t have as tight a bond with this one as I do the bear, but that’s because a) alongside Helen she is my bestest friend ever and b) because I worry that breastfeeding working out this time means I won’t be able to develop that same bond, but again, sense tells me that I will always work hard enough to make it work.
Can’t state enough how much I love being a dad, and another little bean to throw all my heart and soul into sounds great to me Think I’m meandering a bit, but nevermind
Baby – Hooray!
Tidge was funny when we told her, I was looking at the picture she asked me what it was, I told her it was a baby she said ‘no daddy’ giggling then when I told her it was in mummy’s tummy she just ‘no’ zoned out and carried on watching the monstrosity that is In the Night Garden.
Only took a few minutes before she started asking more questions, ‘where is it?’ ‘can I cuddle it?’ ‘I will show it my toys, shoes and books’. She’s asked quite a few times today where the baby is and gleefully told grandma about the baby today. So I think she is set on the idea too Think she will make a wonderful big sister.
So, my world continues to change at ever increasing pace, time to hold on for the ride. Fortunately Helen is feeling much better than she was at this point with Tidge, aside from being really tired and having to eat constantly, so fingers crossed all will be well.
Enjoy your saturday xx
