...okay, I don't quite know how I managed to completely miss your 'proper' announcement post. I'm glad the nausea's passed at least - I didn't have it All The Time but certainly had it enough to get quite tired of it (mind you, that happened rather rapidly). I think the weirdest thing about my first 4 months of pregnancy was that I started eating cheese. I mean, I've always been happy to have say cheesy pasta bake or similar, but that's about my cheese limit and certainly no more than maybe twice a week. Until somewhere around 10-16 weeks or so when i was going to the fridge and cutting a lump of parmesan or cheddar off the block and just eating it straight. And then often going back for a second chunk.

That was one of the things that really made me feel that being pregnant is a rather parasitic relationship - and then I'd mention it to people and they'd chalk it up to the crazy hormones and start edging away, wide eyed...

Quickening is wonderful. Enjoy it, towards the end for me it was less fun and more OW STOP NOW. But I did love that he could be relied upon to move at fairly consistent times of day. And sometimes I'd be sitting in meetings ostensibly paying attention but actually with my attention turned inward to what the little wriggler was doing inside :-)

I loved that Alex clearly could hear and respond to music while in the womb, but I could never decide whether he was responding because he loved it or because he hated it! It really worried me for quite a while (I was still going to choir until 7.5 months pregnant) , which now seems ridiculous.

Sorry, rambly, love talking about pregnancy and babies. Very very delighted for you.
