Keep your head down

Alice is head-down! And had we announced that we're calling her Alice?

The scan looked good, the visit with the midwife today was normal/fine, so I'm on track to deliver with the midwives whenever Alice decides she's ready.

Her classroom did a "bling my bike" project

Pregnancy has made me extra hungry

Super Jane

Jane took a picture of my bump

I don't know where she got her dance moves...

It certainly wasn't from me. Or Andy.

Andy had a paper accepted, so we went out for pizza and foosball.

Pre-scan update

No pictures this time, just a quick update on what's to come tomorrow (as far as I understand it).

Baby Alice has been moving a ton, and was at one point head-down like we want, but then has since been breech. I CANNOT tell at all what position she is in, as her shifts and kicks seem to change all the time.

At the last midwife visit, they told me that if she's still breech at tomorrow ultrasound, we'll "talk about what that means."

Another mum, but of course, not me, came into our yoga class last week and said after her 36 week scan of her breech son, they made an appointment to try and turn the baby, and if that didn't work, they were going to do the C-section right then. (She wasn't back at yoga today, so I don't know how the story unfolded.)

No one has said this to me, and all pregnancies are different. But we'll expect to know more tomorrow, and I will try to update this again then. And maybe find some pictures too. :)

Love Day

We had a Love Day, which means that Jane got to pick meals and activities. It was a jam-packed day! Pictures, in no particular order:

At the Bristol Museum

Jane in front of a display of nightingales. That's what her class is called at school.

Lunch at Five Guys (hot dog with no bun and a chocolate shake).

Cowgirl in England

We stopped at a second museum for about an hour before my midwife appointment (uneventful, just as we hoped).

Not actually taken on Love Day, a previous outing

Ice skating last week

Bell pepper with a baby pepper inside. Seems apt.

Chipping Sodbury should become your next sick burn.

Bush baby

The first thing we did on Love Day was take Jane bouldering. This was her second time. She did very well.

Mini-gof on Love Day

Licking Daddy

Playing music at the museum

33 Weeks--Christmas approaches!

No idea.

Jane's class did a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk. We were asked not to post photos online, but you can only see her in this one. And... a sheep?

Dino at Andy's work

Making gluten-free cookies

We asked Jane to get dressed today, and this is how she came out of her room.

Super Jaaaaaane!

We got her a hat to go under her helmet in case it's raining on the scooter ride in to school. Look how it chipmunks her cheeks!

Picture I took...

...versus picture Jane took. I'm really not THAT wide.

Twirler

I like this one!

We visited Father Christmas with our friend Mrs. Kehrer last weekend. Jane is in the middle in the red sweater (jumper).

Christmas tree at the meet Santa event

Jane got a present and got to chat with Santa 

Andy was in D.C. the week before last for AGU and running a workshop. He was gone ten days. We're so glad he's back!

One of her classmates hosted an end-of-term party. There was a disco in the basement and it was too loud for her so she wanted headphones. This is what the hosts came up with.

Pretty cool.

Christmas tree cookie cutters

Sampling the cookies. We think Santa will approve. Most people here leave mince pies for Santa, but we decided he might like an American-style cookie instead. I know that we will.

30 weeks Thanksgiving

Despite the request for pictures from the Thanksgiving meal that we hosted, we failed pretty hard. But the meal and company were nice.

I'm uncomfortable a lot of the time. This morning I woke up dizzy, which is an odd feeling when I was already lying down!

A rainbow I saw walking back from Jane's school this week

Rudolph belly

As Dinovember came to an end, the dinosaurs left Jane with two Christmas jumpers. And one for me. Oddly, they couldn't find one large enough for Andy!

The Thanksgiving turkey!
