Viability day!
Jun. 27th, 2006 12:57 amTonight Dave felt Speck kick for the first time. Unsurprisingly I'm a blubbering mass of happy tears. I'm sure Speck thinks we're both a bit mad!
Speck is now 24 weeks--well, 22 weeks in foetal terms--and is thus considered viable if he was to be born any time from now onwards. Of course, I do hope he sticks around in my tummy for a few weeks longer! Viability also means that I can start buying things without feeling guilty or worried. Which reminds me....
How long should I expect a newborn to stay in newborn clothes? Should I only buy a tiny number of newborn outfits (or none at all?) and focus mainly on 0-3 month gear? No one has given me a weight estimate yet--frankly, I'm not sure that I'm going to get one from the NHS now--so I remain bemused. And... I presume I should wash all the clothes before Speck arrives, too? Someone said something about chemical coatings on the fibres. God, that was vague!
