Week 19 – Growing Growing Growing (and a heartbeat!)

My precious Button

Well, you had your first camping experience this weekend. I do hope it hasn’t put you off for life! It was so cold, I wasn’t sure if we were going to make it through the second night! I felt a little like Racheltjie de Beer who hid her brother in a dug out anthill so as to save him from exposure while she herself died of the cold.
It was only when Daddy had wrapped himself around us like a human blanket that my teeth stopped chattering and I was able to get to sleep.  The next morning he commented that he could feel how much you (and therefor, I ) have grown when he had his arm around my middle.   When we got home yesterday I gave him a very big hug and kiss and he laughed and said he could feel my stomach pressing in to his!  Under different circumstances that would have got him in to serious trouble, but since I’ve been worried about you not growing, I was very happy indeed.
