this stage of the game

OK, now we don’t really know exactly what week we are but there are still things that, in general, are happening to the little monster.

The baby is growing hair. Not just on it’s head but all over it’s body, a fine hair called “Lanugo” which should disappear later on in the pregnancy. So I suspect we have some sort of wolfy-bearded
Hermit-like character sitting in it’s vessel of primordial dreams.



Sicily’s hair’s doing quite fine too and my own beard is doing alright as well, but that has more to do with having lent out my clippers.

Regarding the baby having Downs Syndrome, happy to report that it’s not that. Or at least happy to report no report as Bridget was going to ring us if there was any possibility/probability (if you were trying out for the All blacks would you rather be a Probable or a Possible...? hmmm... makes you think....) and we haven't heard from her.

Most interesting of all is that Sicily has a puku. It’s noticable, and Sicily tells me that if she pokes her belly the baby does a little dance.

yes well hmmm...

If you poke me I do a little dance as well so we try not to encourage that.
