This is the most awesome thing ever. This little fella has turned me into a right soppy git.

I had to do a supply run into town this morning and found myself thinking about buying a Lego kit for him. He's 2 days old.

I'm working from home today. I do about 30 minutes, then want to go downstairs to spend time with the boy. Gah.

Time is passing quickly now (for me anyway!) and it is becoming a reality. Just under 6 weeks until due date now, though we both just know it is going to end up a Christmas baby!

Snap!

We are in the same boat with a due date of the 17th. He's our first so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he popped out in a Santa Suit on the big day.

Good luck!

Is he/she moving around lots and have you felt any hiccups? We have for certain.

Our due date is the 16th.

Yep loads of kicking, and hiccups - which are reportedly very annoying!

My wife is one of the world's best sleepers so it doesn't seem to have affected her much yet in that regard, though heartburn is a problem.

I forgot about this thread. My wife is now 8 days over due and has to arrange an appointment to be induced on Friday.

My wife is crippled with heartburn, almost to the point of being sick. She has never suffered from it before so it's a big shock to her. Far and away the worst pregnancy 'symptom' in her eyes.

I really want to take Harry swimming but apparently we're supposed to wait until he's had jabs?

He's not a huge fan of bath time at the moment (5 weeks old) though so I'm not sure how well a whole pool of water will go down!!!

Also waiting until Jack has had his jabs, he loves the bath and tries to turn his head and swallow water all the time.

Wife has nick named him guzzle guts, for his insatiable desire for milk!

Yeah, our 17-week old son loves the bath and keeps trying to drink the water! That's between little fits where he clamps his mouth shut and splashes around so much that we get soaked. Brilliant.

No you don't need to wait if you don't want to. We started at 12 weeks as that's when the term started. We use a hydrotherapy pool which is 35/36 degrees and they've had a 3 day old swim there!!

Today I was unanimously approved to adopt... not quite sure if I'm going to squeak under the line and be a parent in 2013 or not, though. smile
