Well, if writing a 40 week update was a surprise then this is a total shock! 41 weeks, whoever would have thought I'd get this far! I know in my last update I had talked about having an elective C-section at 40+5, but all that has changed. I'll explain more further on. 

At 41 weeks pregnant my little Pip is about the size of a watermelon. She (yes, it's a girl!) is between 19-21 inches long and could weigh between 7-9lbs now. I do hope it's not much more than that! Here's what's been going on during my 41st week of pregnancy with baby number three.

Right at the end of last year the boys and I headed to our favourite woodland area here in beautiful north Hertfordshire, armed with a gorgeous feather-filled balloon kindly sent to us by The Feather Balloon Company, to do something very special: the gender reveal! We made a little video which caused a lot of happy tears among you lovely readers, and I promised to show you some of the photos we'd taken as well. With Christmas, New Year, general pregnancy woes and a new laptop to transfer all my images over to, I've only just got around to it! But here they finally are, I do hope you love them as much as I do!
