The strangest thing happened... We went to see the midwives today, but instead of the usual poking there was a whole heap of awful squeezing and all of a sudden mum turned inside out!
Poor mum, messy business. She looks quite different this way out which is taking some getting used to. I do have a better view of dad though, which is nice.

Waiting 2:00:00 [3]
Mum's trying to bargain with me now. She wants to dislodge me before I get any bigger, but I'm not uncomfortable enough yet, so she'll have to do better than that!

Waiting 2:00:00 [3]
Looks like I'll make it into next year after all!
Mum seems quite happy waiting at the moment (as long as there is a cold swimming pool nearby), and Dad is grateful for the bonus training time, but both Grandma T and Grandma GT get really twitchy every time their phones ring. Auntie Carolyn gave Mum some magic castor oil to look at. Not to drink, because apparently that shouldn't be necessary. Mum has left it hidden for now, to look at as a last resort next week.

Another quote from Dad's book of things to say to boost a pregnant woman's morale:
"Wow, you must be about to give birth, because your bottom has dropped! It looks much saggier than it did before!"

Waiting 2:00:00 [3]
The midwife poked at my head again today. She thinks I am a girl, based on who-knows-what.
She confirmed that yes, I'm still here, and no, I have not dropped out overnight without anyone noticing and yes, Mum can stop her whinging and keep on waiting.

Note
Oh and this week, between condescending comments about being overbaked, the interweb says I am a pumpkin. Just a normal pumpkin, not a giant one yet, but I bet that is coming next week.

Waiting 3:00:00 [3]
Mum seems to be killing time, doing weird pointless stuff like trying to turn the corroded wheels of local council bureaucracy and, in between, driving around letting lots of different people make cups of tea for her. We visited my new friend Eliza and my other new friend Charlotte who just had her big day too. I think Mum is trying to tell me something but I can't work out what.

Yep, still a watermelon.
Mum seems to have lost interest in everything except sleeping and swimming and christmas cake. In response, I am tapering my kicking routine.
Officially the waiting starts tomorrow but secretly we are waiting already.
My friend Eliza had her big day already, she says it is worth all the drame for the perks. For example, drinking something that is not the same recycled goo that you already drank yesterday.
