Little Clifford update

I thought it might be timely to post a little bit of information about Baby Clifford.  We went for a scan today and she currently weighs 4lb 4oz and is therefore in the 64th percentile so far.  Alice, at this stage, was in the 40th and ended up bang on average at 5 days overdue.  So this one shouldn't be too enormous if she stays on track.

Clifford is still in the breech position, as was Alice at this stage.  I'm sure that she has been head down at some point (see "The Lobambolas come to stay") but she seems to have spun back around.  Anyway, she is currently crouching with her feet on my cervix, which is really uncomfortable and a bit of a shock each time that she decides to kick me.  It also made the scan a little more invasive than it might otherwise have been so that they could measure the cervix etc without the feet being in the way.  Anyway, aside from the father to be preferring to leave the room, all was well, with all the organs looking good, a lovely strong heart beat and a pretty active little person in there.

I finish work 3 weeks today and am hoping for some extended sleeping/ reading/ movie watching time before the big day.  Alice still wants to call the baby, "Stu".  We've added it to the list but are also using the next 8 weeks to agree on some other names.  Nursery decorating and furniture reorganising starts this weekend.  All very exciting.
