There or not?

I think this is something all pregnant women go through. At that phase where there are no outward signs of pregnancy and things like morning sickness have eased, you start to doubt if it's really happening. could you possibly be pregnant without any tangible evidence to support it. Complete strangers can look at me and they won't know I'm pregnant - I haven't got a bump. This has lead to severe cases of bump envy - all other pregnant women have better bumps than me.

And so, the debate has raged in our house as to whether I have a baby bump or not. J says I obviously do, but I think I just look like I ate a large lunch and may have wind!

This morning, however, I remembered the Test! When I first found out I was pregnant, I asked Jamie to measure the 'inny-ness' of my belly button (many women's belly buttons pop out when they're pregnant and I wanted to be able to check if mine would do that). Anyway at that stage Jamie was able to up to the first knickle of his index finger into my belly button (I've realised, just now, how seedy this sounds and yes I have a VERY inny belly button).
Last night I insisted the Test was repeated. This time J was only able to get half-way to the first knuckle on his index finger in. This means that whether you can visbily see the bump or not there is something in there putting pressure on my belly button in an outward direction!
I am less inny than before ==> therefore I must be pregnant!

Well, after 4 years of being without a TV we have succumbed and purchased one this weekend. We picked it up on Saturday and unpacked it yesterday.
The strange thing is, in the shop it looked like a normal sized TV (see left). Probably because it was surrounded by similar sized or larger TVs; but sitting alone in our living room it looks huge. It's actually a little scary so I've taken to avoiding the living room at the moment (I haven't even drawn the blinds today).

Don't, however, expect comments on the current set of TV programs as we still don't have TV channels. Living in a valley we can't get good reception on terrestrial channels. So we rely on Sky to provide those, along with some more interesting channels. It could take two weeks for Sky to turn up and install everything but that's ok we were prepared for that. We have recently received a shipment from those wonderful people at Amazon containing Season 3: Battlestar Galactica and Series 6: 24. We will put our TV to good use!!
