Somewhere Across the Pond: February 2007

FERGIE#2 ARRIVING
(approximately)
SEPTEMBER 4th
As of February 23rd, I am 12 weeks 6 days (out of 40 weeks)

The story:
We wanted to get pregnant in December and well, we did. Donnie and I found out the news after Christmas but waited until Donnie's Sister, Sarah, wedding was over to spread the news. It was really nice to be able to tell our family in person this go around verse over the phone at the neighbor’s house like we did with Iain. I am really surprised that Donnie and I kept the secret that long!

Iain's response was, “Cookie?”

I guess there are more pressing issues in his world right now than being a Big Brother.

On the whole, I have been feeling fine. There have been a few times I’ve been sick or where waves of sickness have come over me – but I totally cannot complain. I am planning on having Fergie #2 in Hinchinbrook Hospital in Huntington, Cambridgeshire. This is the same hospital where I had Iain. I really like the options available and I am comfortable there. I just hope for a good, healthy pregnancy, birth, and baby.

We will be taking bets on the
Due Date, Weight and Sex again.

Email me with your guess!

If you are the closest to the real thing than you will be getting the best darn chocolates you will ever have, Thortons!
We will even be sending out 2^nd and 3^rd place prizes as well.
For those that like betting stats: Iain was 6 lbs. 9 oz, 41 weeks 6 days

Here are the 1st Ultrasound Photos!

Above you can see Baby’s profile with it’s left hand behind the head (waving to everyone), then the belly, the femur (kind of that dark part sticking up at 90 degrees), the knee and part of the calf leg.

The parts on Baby that are whiter than other
are the bones. Skull, future teeth, backbone, legs ect.
As of today (2-26) Baby is 66.0 mm from the crown to bum

On our drive to the B &B, which was a working farm.
Cows, sheep and lots of poop as Donnie says!

But it makes for very fertile ground! Pretty views too.

Below is Lydford Castle with a carved stone in the foreground.
Behind us in the photo is the village church.

Gorgeous wood carving on the screen, the ceiling was also in excellent condition. Even the pews were heavily carved. A big surprise for a village church such as this.

Then there was the...
Jamaica Inn

This place is haunted and originally this is where Donnie wanted to stay on our trip. Until, I found out about the ghosts. It was even on a TV show here called Most Haunted!
I don't think so...

The Smuggler's Bar,
clearly from the name well reputable people came here.

sound of horses' hooves and the metal rims of wheels turning on the rough cobbles of the courtyard or
uneasy footsteps heard pacing the corridors in the dead of night or
the strange man in a tricorne hat and cloak who appears and then walks through solid doors or
heard conversations uttered in a foreign tongue,possibly ancient Cornish
a murder victim tramping along the passage to the bar,
believed to be the dead man's spirit returning to finish his drink.

We had lunch here - that was it. I wasn't going to stick around to see any of these ghost.
