Bergfest is the German for a halfway party; it's the celebration you have at the top of the mountain. Today marks the start of the 20th week, exactly halfway through the pregnancy. Hurray! Ian took Julie out for an ice-cream at G & D's to celebrate.
Earlier this week we had the 20-week anomaly scan, and everything was fine. In the top two pictures you can see The Bean's head on the right, with his face in profile looking upwards, and a hand. He had his hand balled into a little fist, but it wasn't clear enough to see if he had his thumb locked across his fingers, crane kung-fu style.
In the bottom photo he's the other way round facing away. After the sonographer had completed the long, very detailed scan a trainee doctor did the same thing all over again, so we think The Bean got fed up with posing for photos.

People keep asking Julie what her cravings are. Food, just food. And plenty of it, please.
Several times a day Ian tries to feel The Bean move. He waits until Julie feels a little kick, then sits her on his lap with his hand clamped to her bump. They sit there for about 20 minutes and The Bean moves not a jot. Eventually they both get bored and give up, and The Bean moves again as soon as Ian removes his hand.
