For those of you keeping an eye on the ‘Jo versus the lounge door’ posts you may have thought that Jo only owns one pair of jeans and one top…the video below shows that you may be right (there is evidence that she has at least two pairs of socks though).
Every week we think that there’s no way that Jo can get any bigger and the following week we’re proved wrong! Theoretically there’s one week to go but we now finish each day wondering if things will kick off tomorrow.
Glyn spent the final few evenings of last week assembling the nursery furniture; he made a pretty good job of it too. It’s nice to finally have places to store everything without the nursery floor being used as a dumping ground for any new purchases. Here are a couple of pictures to let you see:
Jo can’t quite get over how decidedly large she felt in the first face off with the lounge door at around 15 weeks, and also how she is still getting the same t-shirt to stretch over the protruding belly! Sleeping in has become the norm and, despite feeling a little bitter about this, Glyn has noticed some benefits such as home-made muffins, dinner when he gets home from work, and meals being cooked and frozen for when wor wee-un arrives.
This weekend we had a visit from Jane, Kieran and Isabel. They have a somewhat tainted view that there’s always exciting random activities on in Market Harborough. On Saturday we took a walk into town to see what this year’s Arts Fresco (a day of street entertainment throughout town) had to offer and on Sunday we walked to Lubenham to have a look at the scarecrows – each year Lubenham has a weekend where the villagers exhibit scarecrows outside their homes and workplaces. These are not necessarily what you’d expect from a scarecrow, as can be seen by the Angel of the North below:
Throughout the weekend Isabel was pretty curious about Jo’s bump and seemed quite content that she could mimic this look by stuffing a ball down her vest:
Wor wee-un’s got quite an extensive wardrobe already as you can see from this photo of everything drying after a first wash. Long may it continue that it’s all this clean. It all looked quite cute hanging out there so we thought we’d post this picture.

Jo’s been banned (mainly by Tim from capoeira) from doing any crazy stunts, but here’s a death defying 360 to give you a full panorama!
Jo finished work yesterday, well officially, although she still has a little more to do next week. Some of the comments in the department’s farewell speech included attributing the recent lift failures to Jo’s weight and the cutting back of kitchen staff due to the predicted fall in bacon roll sales (thanks Mark Norton!). It’s going to be pretty weird being a lady of leisure for a few weeks but she’s going to make the most of sleeping in whilst she can.
