22 weeks pregnant today and our baby boy is the size of a spaghetti squash (seriously who comes up with these things haha), and weighs roughly 430g at 28cm long. He's a definite mover now and loves to have a wiggle about in the evenings when I'm relaxing. I feel properly pregnant now and I'm loving my maternity clothes again!

We finally had our 20 week scan this week, when I was actually 21+1 weeks pregnant. The scan was great and baby is perfectly happy and healthy. I have a high anterior placenta, and he had his head snuggled under my ribs haha. Everything she checked was fine and I loved how in-depth it was - oh and he's definitely a boy!

Only slight concern we have now is how big our baby boy is! His head measurements were off the chart and the rest were very near the top too haha. We reckon he'll be taking after Jack as all of his family are 6ft plus, but we'll have to wait and see (I'll definitely be asking the midwife what she thinks though when I next see her though).

The only new symptom this week is sensitive (and absolutely enormous haha) breasts. They seem to be growing everyday and I'll definitely be needed to invest in some new bras soon. Just brushing past them sends shivers down my spine too, something I never had with Indiana!

The most exciting thing we did this week was purchase our double pram! With Indiana only being 20 months when he's set to arrive, and me not driving it was a must. We've gone for the iCandy Peach 3 Blossom in Jet - thank god for my bonus this month is all I'll say haha!

I'm unfortunately back to work after 2 weeks off tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll be back to moaning again next week - it's definitely work causing havoc with my back! We'll see in my 23 update next week.

Indiana's 16 Month Update

Slightly late with this update as Indie actually turned 16 months last Thursday while we were on holiday. But what a month it's been! This week especially has made me realise just how much of a toddler she is now and not a baby. She loves to run absolutely everywhere and loves to take your hand and show you where to go.

I finally had her weighed this month and she's now 22 lb 10ozs which is around the 50/75th percentiles I believe. We've now started putting her in 12-18 months clothing and it's fitting a lot better than we thought (things are slightly too long though still as she's a shorty). She's finally grown enough for big girl shoes too which are still a small 4G! She has about 14/15 teeth including most of her molars now (not that I put my fingers in to check... ouch).

I am totally blown away with the amount of knowledge and understand Indie has now. I've always spoken to her even though I knew she didn't really get it, and couldn't respond. But it seems to be a whole different story these days! If I mention teeth she will grab my hand, take me to the bathroom and ask for her toothbrush - same with her shoes (unless she can reach them she'll bring them to me). She will answer 'yes' or 'no' to questions we ask her and knows exactly who 'baby brother' is. She also eats so well with a spoon and fork - yay to less mess!

Her speech is developing so much too. Her little voice is so sweet and when she says certain things my heart absolutely melts. She can say:
Hiya - bye bye - mummy - daddy - nanny - grandad - baby - teeth - shoes - yes - no - bubble - 'choo choo' for a train - yay - bunny - juice - 'toodles' (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) - George (Curious George), no (complete with look and pointing haha), aww, yay, woof woof, all gone, what's that?, and more!

What's also developing is this little madam's attitude! She is an absolute diva and really likes to get her own way. She still doesn't really share (she tells off other children who dare to look at Jack when she's at nursery haha), and gets very possessive over things. If she's told no she will throw herself on the floor kicking and screaming too! The biggest thing is now hitting and throwing - she's mastered the art of the 'swipe' and knocks down anything in front of her if she's in a bad mood!

We are obviously keeping an eye of these and telling her off when it is necessary. She's such a loving sweet girl most of the time, always giving kisses and cuddles, but she does have a fiery temper haha!
