Baby BW has reached half way there & there's still a long way to go. 

Jessica and Christopher have a particularly giggly episode, with Baby voices, bargains and really great hair. 

We learn about different vegetables too, but which fruit does Christopher absolutely despise (even in it's average size!)?

All this and more in FTPPUK Episode 5 :)

It's Christmas Time! (Well.. it was!)    

We talk about telling our friends and 'going public' and the questions that started to fly at us. 

Also, experiencing the limitations of the normal Christmas festivities as a pregnant woman, and how much Jess misses her festive Fizz. There's story talk about what we'd read the baby, how the body started to change after the 12 week scan, and then of course there's Jess' fave feature – Dad Joke.

Baby BW is now about 9 weeks old inside it's tummy hotel, and things start getting interesting - not least for the surprise Ariana Grande cover in this episode.

We talk about our first midwife appointment, checking in with the doctor and Jessica has started to have her first craving! ... IS IT ONIONS?!

We talk about how the Limbo period between the test and the scan had an effect on Christopher and how it peaked anxiety into overdrive, and then it's time for the 12 week scan, and to tell our families!

And there's the first of MANY Dad Jokes!

Are you ready for this? Because we weren't! 

In Episode 1, we go back to September, to the beginning of Baby BW's making (not that bit!).

We talk about finding out Jessica is Pregnant, the initial body signs that made it real, buying a pregnancy test, already weeing far far far too much, having a hormone induced breakdown within the first few weeks, and telling Christopher that it's baby time. Also, would Christopher be ok watching the birth from the court-side seats? (spoiler alert - No, but then again neither would Giraffe-Jess!).
