has my pregnant brain warped my sense of humour?
…and is it just me that thinks that being taught how to breastfeed on this knitted wonder is just a little bit kooky?
This looks so much like a kids toy that you can almost imagine them in the toy basket… hand-knitted by grandma… or bought from the church féte…

Meet Casper (ish)… Sucking his thumb (and kicking relentlessly) at 20 weeks… It really is beginning to feel very real now…
rock your body
The little one can hear as of this week, so I’ve constructed a tummyspeaker on an elasticised belt, with headphone splitters, so that we can listen to the same tracks whilst I have my iPod on on the tube.
Unfortunately silver was the only colour I could find a stretchy belt in, big enough to accommodate the bump, but I’ll just have to go beyond fashion… 
If anyone out there wants to buy a “Baby Boomer”, orders taken here, so mail me and I’ll make one for you!
there was movement at the station…
As of 9:30am this morning, I’ve officially got some kind of creature moving around inside me! I’ve been feeling a kind of weird movement – a fluttery feeling – for about a week (especially when I sit down to eat!) but this morning in the bath I felt a real knock! I’ve been feeling more knocks all day, especially when I’m lying down on the couch on my side. It’s not strong enough for Dan to feel yet, or to make ripples in the bath, but its certainly a more powerful sensation than usual!
I’ve changed my morning vitamins to include lots more fish oil (though I’ve been taking fish oil every day) – I wonder if it really makes any difference? It certainly makes morning burping an experience…
I am the walrus
Here are the next lot of great baby things I’ve bought – a friendly walrus, and a great selection of hand-knitted animal puppets from Spitalfields Market…
the little jordan bambach – week 12
Here’s a great shot of the sprog sucking thumbs… taken at 12 weeks and a day… i’m 16 weeks today so its about double the size now!!! Mum Jordan reckons it must be a girl because looks like me, but i’m not so sure, it seems to be pulling a gesture more remeniscent of Dan
