I'm feeling a lot better, thanks Lixy. I'm just about over the sickness and my energy levels are much higher than they were for the first few months.

A couple of weeks ago I felt the first proper kick and since then he's been like a little acrobat in there. It's so reassuring to be able to feel that he's ok, even though I'm not used to it yet and it kind of catches me by surprise each time he does it.

I think Fussy is coping well with it all. He's been very involved - been to each antenatal appointment with me, talks to the baby through my tummy and tries to watch out for it twitching when he kicks me. Only trouble is, everytime Fussy's watching, baby stops kicking! He has reported a lot more heartburn than he usually gets, but neither of us are craving anything at the moment.

We're decorating the nursery together this week, and that's helping us to feel like it's more real. It's been good that there's been so much practical stuff we've needed to do, as I think this has given him a focus. I definitely think he's connected to the baby, but I'm not sure either of us have fully grasped how much this is going to change our lives.

Just wishing this week away, so I can get to the scan on Saturday morning!
