Title:	No room
Wrote... Sorry Mummy, I know you are not feeling well this week and it's sort of my fault. It is very tight in here now, so much so I can hardly bend my fingers to type so this is likely my last blog from the womb. I will continue blogging after I am born.

Wrote... I have now developed a unique footprint! I look forward to seeing it via paint prints. I am now hogging all the space in here. It's starting to be a bit tight. I am practising sucking, breathing, blinking, turning my head, grabbing things, and stretching out my legs. - Oh dear Mummy had a problem this week when her finger swelled up so much that she couldn't get her ring off. It hurt her quite a lot and she has tried to get the ring of since. Any suggestions...

Title:	Alcohol
Wrote... Mummy and Daddy enjoy going to a fresh expression emerging church called Sanctus 1 (www.sanctus1.co.uk). This week when they went I felt well relaxed during a time of meditating on the names of God. Then, Mummy had communion. This was my first taste of Alcohol and it went straight to my head! I danced and danced and danced. All I need to finish my womb growth now is more surfactant to coat my lungs and some more fat. I am now starting to focus on things like this long cord thing that has me connected to Mum. I weigh about 1.9kg (that's 4lbs 3oz) and am about 29cm from head to bum.

Daddy says he can now pick out my heartbeat amongst the placenta noise, although he says it's not yet up to broadcast standard!
