Pregnancy Poem

My pregnancy poem... 

(which I will be adding to each week)

Poppy Seed I love you, 

I've just found out you're there, 

When the word 'pregnant' popped up on the screen, 

My heart lifted high into the air,

Sesame Seed I love you,

I just want to tell the world,

That you're4zz inside me growing strong,

I wonder, are you a boy or a girl?

Lentil I love you,

But boy, you're making me sick!

Much worse than with your sister,

You'd better stop this quick! 

Blueberry I love you,

We met the midwife today,

She took my blood and pee to test,

This gets more glamourous every day!

Kidney Bean I love you,

We booked our scan today,

In 4 weeks time we'll see you,

That feels such a long way away!

Little Grape I love you,

I hope you're safe in there,

Your big sister has chicken pox,

It's given me quite a scare.

Green Olive I love you,

You're officially a fetus now,

In the next 3 weeks you'll double in size,

My magic body will accommodate you somehow!

Little Fig I love you,

I think I felt you move last night, 

I know it's early but I'm sure it was you, 

Bouncing about, bold and bright!

Lil Lime I love you,

Today was the big day!

We saw you waving, kicking and bouncing,

We can't wait for you to come out to play!

Pea Pod I love you,

Since we saw you I just want more!

My impatience is really starting to kick in,

This week has dragged and been a real bore!

Lemon I love you,

I've been clearing out your bedroom,

Daddy still has lots of boxes to empty,

Before it's ready to paint and groom!

Apple I love you,

This weekend we're going to decorate,

Brilliant White and Banana Yellow,

A bright, sunshine and rainbow room we want to create!

Avocado I love you,

We had our 16 week check today,

We got to hear your little heartbeat,

"I can hear my baby!", Boo said, "Hooray!"

Turnip I love you,

Today we're off shopping for things for you,

A highchair, some pictures, a mobile,

And Boo wants to find you your own "Baby Duvet" too!

Bell Pepper I love you,

I feel grumpy and exhausted this week,

I've been snapping at your Daddy and your sister,

Poor things, I just feel like I've reached my peak!

Heirloom Tomato I love you,

This week I feel much happier and full of joy!

We get to see you again on Friday! 

And find out if you're a girl or a boy!!!

Banana I love you,

We found out that you're a girl!!!

Everything looked perfect at the scan,

You looked beautiful performing twists and twirls!

Carrot I love you,

Last week we took you to Disneyland!

You helped us skip all the queues!

We can't wait to go back again with you in hand!

Spaghetti Squash I love you,

Today you're 22 weeks grown,

So a maximum of 20 weeks to wait,

Till we have you in our arms, our own.

Large Mango I love you,

I've started going to pregnancy pilates,

An hour and a half where it's just me and you,

Having our own private party.

Ear of Corn I love you,

You are the wriggliest little thing!

All day long you kick and flip,

Each movement makes my heart sing!

Lil Swede I love you,

I'm starting to feel enormous!

Waddling and stomping everywhere,

But it will all be worth it when you're here with us! 

Large Red Cabbage I love you,

This pregnancy is really exhausting,

Running around after your sister, and doing all the housework,

Leaves not much time for resting! 

Cauliflower I love you,

You measured a little large today,

You're guna be a beefcake just like your sister,

Poor Mummy when labour comes our way!

Aubergine I love you,

We've reached our third trimester! 

You're getting huge, as am I!

I just want to be a couch potato and fester! 

Butternut Squash I love you,

We've been getting your clothes down from the loft,

You're sister has loved "sorting" them all out,

They're so tiny, cute and ever so soft!

Cabbage I love you,

We had a 4D scan at the weekend!

You are breech and snuggled in the placenta,

And too cute to comprehend! 

Coconut I love you,

At the weekend we had our Babymoon,

Swimming, shopping, eating, relaxing, 

It flew by much too soon!

Long kale I love you,

I've been trying to get you to turn,

It felt like you had yesterday,

But now your head's back up again firm.

Pineapple I love you,

We've been getting ready for Christmas!

Trimming the tree, looking ahead to next year,

When you'll be here doing it all with us! 

Cantaloupe Melon I love you,

You have turned and are head down!!

The midwife's told me to get my bag ready,

Baby Bean is coming to town!!

Honeydew Melon I love you,

Your Moses basket is ready and clean,

Your sister's been trying out your pram,

And packing your first outfit, baby Bean!

Romaine Lettuce I love you,

Today is Christmas Eve!!! 

We've been carolling and celebrating your Granny's birthday,

Now Santa's on his way- WE BELIEVE! 

Swiss Chard I love you,

It's the last day of 2014!

You're full term now, getting ready to appear,

And we cannot wait to meet you baby Bean!

Lil Leek I love you,

Your big sister is now 3!

As she blew out the candles on her cake I heard her say;

'I wish my baby would come out now to meet me!' 

Watermelon I love you,

I'm being plagued with twinges and contractions,

But you're still not budging and I'm very fed up,

I'm in need of lots of distractions!

Baby I love you,

You're here 5 days early!

We're all besotted and totally in love,

You are one beautiful girly!
