Bank holiday antics and Bump Watch catch up!

We've been up in Bromsgrove this weekend, so firstly - bit of BBC Bump Watch catch up to do....

23 May 2009 - Eyes begin to develop underneath the skin of the face. All the internal organs continue to grow and become more complex.

24 May 2009 - The heart is beating, and this will show up on a scan, if you have one. [Saw it Friday, it was AMAZING!]

25 May 2009 - The embryo is now officially a foetus. You may have a scan at around this time – six to eight weeks is quite common – to check you are pregnant (if there's any doubt) and to check the pregnancy is not ectopic (in the fallopian tube). A scan now can help confirm your dates, too.

So there you go - mini Davis is officially a foetus! Also, the scan has shown he/she's in the right place and 'viable' at the moment. Fingers crossed for the next month!

Anyway, back to the weekend. Went up by bike, as the car's off the road. That was an interesting decision by me, and an experience which led to buying a single train ticket for the leg home! Had a wonderful time inbetween, wandering round classic car shows, chilling at Al's parent's gorgeous barn. The best bit was our day of 'Relocation, Relocation'. We took the bike and headed off into the wilds of Worcestershire and Warwickshire to spy places to move to, when we leave London in September-type-time. I won't bore you with the details of where we went, as in my mind there's only one contented now - the lovely market town of Alcester, which so unbelivably pretty and perfect, I am now refusing to consider anywhere else! It's 8 miles west of Stratford-upon-Avon, which is ideal for seeing some friends we have there, going for lovely day trips, jumping on a train into Birmingham and being ridiculously close to the M40, to get to London. It's close to Al's parents, without being in their laps and just over and hour from my folks too. It's close to other friends in Droitwich and Leamington Spas; and handy for a trip to Warwick Castle! Did I mention the places is bloody gorgeous too? You can check out Alcester on its wikipedia entry here (there's pictures!)

Anyway, I'll stop rhapsodising on. I must say London feels very depressing after cheap country pubs and endless green fields. Ho-hum, not long to escape and I'll hopefully be too pregnant to help with the move - genius!
