Well we are almost at the end of twenty-four weeks now and I am left wondering where the last six months has gone. I am stunned to think that Dan has been away for six months!

Our little girl is growing stronger every day. She is kicking like Jean Claude Van Damme and fidgeting away in there all the time. It is a very odd feeling, people have been asking me what it feels like and it is so hard to describe. It is just like there is something living in there, something with a mind and system all of its own. Which of course, there is. I just smile every time I feel her move as it reassures me that all is well. She kicked hard enough to be visible from the outside today, much to the delight of the staff around me at the time. Nick has felt her move several times and I am now waiting until she is strong enough to boot Ashley the cat from my lap. I can not imagine what he will make of it! He has taken to laying around her, rather than on my lap as he used to. Now that she is twenty-four weeks we have to start thinking about getting ready for her to come home. With just three months to go there is still so much to do.

If the last six months are anything to go by, then the next three will be gone in a blink.
