So, Evangeline now turns around a lot and I can finally feel her doing it! Its a bit weird but kinda cool. She is also kicking me a LOT harder now!! I started giggling in a meeting today because my belly had moved so much.
In order to better display these things to Auggie, I have taken to putting the remote control for the telly on my belly and letting Evie kick it. It is highly amusing (or at least it is to first time parents).
For anyone who cares, we are now registered at babysrus for most of our stuff. We are also registering at a local shop in Houston for some of our cloth diapering needs. There is a lot of pink on the registry :-)
That's all the updates from here.

23 Weeks
Well, first of all for you lovers of 4D ultrasounds, I am booked in for September 5th. You can thank Mummy for finding the place, booking the time and paying for it :-D
I stole the following questions from a friend, but it gives a good update so I don't think she will mind:
Weight: Lots. Only up 1/2 pound from last week but still, lots. I am told that only a pound of this is baby
Maternity clothes? Oh yes. I can wear a few of my non maternity t-shirts and one dress but otherwise, I'm all maternity.
Stretch marks? not yet but its a bit early. check back in 10 weeks or so for a certain yes.
Sleep? Good. My not drinking after 8pm is working so far. Again, I'm fairly sure I will not continue to be this lucky for long.
Movement? Quite a lot. She has her off days but she's quite an active little girl.
Food cravings? Not really. Just eating a lot.
Belly button in or out? In
What I miss: champagne and spinning class
What am I looking forward to? The next few ultrasounds to say hello to her again. Going to England!!
Milestone: Evangeline's room is finished except for curtains. I am having trouble finding curtains that do not involve and kind of valence and that are just plain.
That's all for now. We have to go and collect Auggie from the bus xxx

August 4th Update
Well, to be honest there is not all that much to update but here goes . . .
Evangeline is now kicking me a LOT! I love it except when I am trying to sleep. She has started kicking so hard it makes my whole belly move. This makes me laugh, sometimes inappropriately during meetings at work. She has also grown a bit recently as my tummy has expanded even further. Its pretty amusing to see me in a swimming costume.
Her room is almost finished. When we have put up a few more pictures I will pop some photographs on here. Her crib looks so cute even though it is currently missing its mattress. We have a white canopy over it which I think looks adorable. We bought a "You are My Sunshine" plaque to go somewhere in the room - Auggie especially wanted this as his mum used to sing that song to him when he was a little boy.
Today we visited Evangeline's school that she will attend once she is 6 months old. It was recommended by someone who's opinion I 100% trust and I was not disappointed. It was lovely and clean and the teachers all seemed lovely so we will be happy for her to go there. Our only issue is that they teach sign language. I think that teaching children to speak is a much better idea (call me old fashioned . . . ) but the teacher said we can opt out of that thank goodness!!! Over all we were very happy and will be putting her name down ASAP!!
Aside from busting out of maternity clothes and feeling a little like Aunt Marge in the Prisoner of Azkaban, that's about all from here!!
