Beeba

Lily seems very excited about the prospect of a new baby arriving and pretty much informs everyone that Mummy is very fat because she has "Beeba in her tummy". Beeba will be a girl and she will mostly like eating chocolate, licking snow and playing hide and seek; a stroke of luck really as Lily loves to do all these things too.

Everything looking fine at the 20 week scan and certainly the little one is making his/her presence known by what feels like hardcore, 24 hour, uterine partying.

More Lilyisms.

Lily (pointing wildly at me) : "You are a talking mountain!"

Me: "But mountains don't talk."

Lily: "Some mountains do."

Some time later...

Lily: "What exactly are mountains for Mummy?"

Sound advice:

"You don't eat bottoms Mummy, they are big and smelly."

Just before bed, having 'built' a pram out of towels and blankets:

Lily: "I'm in my pram."

Me : "Oh, going anywhere nice?"

Lily: "Yes, I am going to a lecture on poorly seahorses."
