Sid’s first visit to the cinema. Just happens to be the loudest film of the year, Mad Max Fury Road, sure the vibrations had an impact. Could have been Sound of Music I suppose….

Sunday morning jaunt to Tate Modern. Have a strong feeling Sid will get to know this place rather well. Went to the Sonia Delaunay exhibition, had to admit no knowledge. Alice rather disappointed and felt her art history education efforts may have been wasted….I wouldn’t say so.

Went to pub in the afternoon to see Norwich get promoted to Premier League. Made me feel proud to be from Norfolk, now that’s rare and rum feeling!

There has been a lot of movement, kicks and punches….in fact Alice said it is vicious. Ahhh….then we will name it Sid. A non-gender specific name and succinct, though the reference will seem to be from the Dark Ages when Sid is old enough to understand. I was there though…West Runton Pavilion 19 Aug 1978

all seems very high tech these days, car seat and car seat seat

Annual 10K run, wanted under 50mins (made rule that I need to always run 10K under my age in minutes)…..time 48.54 so really pleased…and have 7 minutes in the bag.

Alice gave great support, though she was convinced she could have run faster than some of the runners even 21 weeks pregnant….had to hold her back at the start.

    

Buggy arrived….no teddy bears or prettification, just all buggy. Made for mountains, well Hatfield Forest maybe!

Busy Bank Holiday

Villagers at Barbican. On train, had meal at Jane Doe restaurant, walked back to Barbican. Amazing venue, sound crystal clear. Fantastic evening.

BS Music Festival, just Saturday, with Mark and Jo. Great company as always. Lasted till 7.00 when it got too cold. Alice did well to last that long. I had beer to keep me warm.

Sunday, May Day Standon, Pims for Alice….rare taste of alcohol, enjoyed but causing dizziness. And that is from someone who can drink 5 litres of Estrella before lunch (well only once, and it was Ibiza after all)!

Had 20 week scan today. all fingers, toes, spine, liver, heart, stomach, palette, nose….perfect.

Scan visibility is amazing, so clear. Asked not to be told sex so still don’t know for definite. However we all, including Lola who was present, didn’t see the obvious boy thingy so consensus is probably a girl, but who knows!

Discussed girls names on way back….Maya and Mabel favourite.

Still Jude for boy..

Alice has been feeling kicks for a while now but I haven’t been able to feel this externally. Today I did for the first time…very exciting. Strong kick, does this mean football or rugby? tough questions already…

Last trip to our favourite resort. And last time as for just the two of us for a long while (possibly).

However time to enjoy a small beer, with Uncle Charlie.

    

Running as usual. Alice did 4 laps each day, good going for 19 weeks.

Time is coming to stop running…spot the bump!
