23w5d

LOL In the space of about 30 minutes today I got told by one person how big I am for (nearly) 24 weeks and then later someone else told me how small I am. Can't win! But I am loving my pregnant tummy. I am so obviously pregnant now. It's nice to be at the stage where people don't have to wonder if I'm pregnant or just overweight! Will have to do another belly pic on Sunday.

Beanie somehow managed to give me quite a good kick in the ribs this morning. I'm not quite 24w! Imagine what it's going to be like in 10w time LOL. I am feeling movement all over my tummy now except for high up centre front and slightly to the right. I'm sure that's where the placenta is and it blocks the movement somewhat. I am curious as to how big he will be when he's born. Shmoo was about 6lb 10oz at 37w5d and Loo was 7lb 6oz at 39w5d.

In other news, Shmoo has been working on his writing. We've done 'a' for a while and now we've added in 'b'. He struggles with holding a pencil correctly and therefore he doesn't really have the control required to write as well as he could (he tends to wrap his entire hand around the pencil and tries to write like that). It's a bit frustrating for him. I'm going to try and hunt down some proper pencil grips to see if that helps him. Shmoo is also starting to get the hang of basic addition and the terminology (X + Y = Z). Not doing too badly.
