Chit chat

It is so hot here I’m expiring. I have to walk early early mornings to escape the heat and take lots of cold showers then lie about in the buff because I simply cannot think of a single thing cool enough to put on. It’s like Bali, not sure if this is what 6 months pregnant in summer feels like or if it’s just what the summer feels like.

The Bump feels massive now, baby kicks all the time, hard and seems to know when Pete’s around or on the phone from abroad, gets all lively and excited. She’s riding super low and often kicks my bladder, jolly uncomfortable. I’ve finally had to ditch half my wardrobe too, just too tight or with belts or elastic in all the wrong places.

Ma said yesterday that we should do some lovely nude shots for posterity like Demi Moore did on the cover of Vanity Fair back in the early 90’s and caused a major ruckus.

Remember that? Ma’s all…. ‘pregnancy is beautiful’ and although I agree I have never desired a nude pic of myself out there in the world, bump or no. Some things are just for you and your husband eh? Besides which, ahem…we don’t all look this good.

Current name likes for boys and girls are Delphi or Delilah Rose Harrow, I still like Sam and Rafferty for boys, think Pete veto’d Rafferty. Maeve, Mabel and Mary, Mabel Jane Harrow or Mary Cameron Harrow? Iris and Milla and May. Arlo, Archie, Rufus and Pete and I both still like Harvey although have been told it’s very popular. Any clear yucko’s?

I didn’t take any pics over xmas / new year, suffice to say both were great and busy. I often find if I’m having a great time I forget to take a photo which is a bit of a catch 22 really so instead of xmas feasts and grinning folks I get to drivel on about baby bump and sticky hot summer. Lucky readers. Will see if ma’s got any good ones so you can see if anyone got fatter or thinner, more ugly or more pretty ;)

Roll on Pete’s big three – oh!
