...and baby K is growing

K is now 4 months and 3 weeks. So...exactly one month since I last posted. We have had time to do many things since then. The biggest one was to go to Spain as a family. K used his Spanish passport for the first time and it went well. Some tears and screaming because he didn't want to sit down at take off or landing, but apart from that  it was quite pain free. Could have gone a lot worse. It was very nice to be in Spain for us to relax a bit and get some help from K's grandparents and aunties. They were almost fighting over who got to change his nappy. A nice change for us. Me and D even got to go out to a restaurant for the first time since K came to the world. It felt weird almost!

The weather could have been better, but the trip was nice regardless. We celebrated D's birthday with our friends and their babies. So different from previous years when nobody in the group of friends had kids. It was fun!

Time flies when you're having fun

Picture from Santander, Spain earlier this month

Time goes by so quickly and sometimes... so slowly... I'm 25 weeks pregnant now, which is almost 6 months!! The little boy is growing fast and moving a lot! Instead of just kicks and elbows I have started feeling how he rolls around as well. I kind of felt like a washing machine the other day! Week by week I feel how I expand and my bump is looking more and more like a "proper bump" instead of a beer belly. People on the bus now give me their seat - sometimes. Not always. Apparently I'm carrying quite small as people keep getting surprised that I'm 6 months along.

The month of October is a bit about discovering other parts of Spain. In the beginning of this month me and D went with his family to the north of Spain. My first time. First to Bilbao for 2 days and then passing through Santander and other picturesque villages. We had a lovely time there and the weather was fantastic. It couldn't have been better.

At the end of the month - next week - we are going to the south of Spain with some friends. A&A and M&J. Really looking forward to it! Although this trip will probably be different from what I had imagined when we bought the tickets... as I wasn't pregnant then. I guess it is only wine part I won't be able to do and I might get tired quicker than the others, but equally - I should be fine. I could be the designated driver if needed!

The baby saga continues...
