Pregnancy update

Hi friends

Well yesterday it was officially 100 days until my due date! Last night (or the early hours of this morning) also marked the first "official" leg cramps - I've heard so much about them. Ow ow ow - so uncomfortable and scary in the middle of the night...

Otherwise I seem to be doing fine. Last time my measurements were taken at the doctor my uterus was 21cm which was "average" for two weeks ago. I've definitely grown since then - in fact I feel like I've doubled in size the past week :-) and Baby Hyttel kicks like crazy demanding more space!

On Saturday we're going to order the pram. In Denmark you don't just go to the shop, buy a pram and take it home. Oh no! You have to order it 6 - 18 weeks in advance depending on the model and July is official summer holidays here for most factories, so we need to order a further 3 weeks in advance. When the shop receives your order they store it for you until the baby's born and proud father fetches it. Although not superstitious folk, Danes believe it bad luck to bring the pram home or set up the cot / crib before the baby's born.

One other thing, it looks like we might be moving to our own place in July... but I'M NOT SAYING ANYMORE until ALL papers are signed!! So watch this space :-)

Love
Carmen
