Update - now “overdue”

Okay so we didn’t give birth yesterday, and certainly not the week early that I’d told bump I would like.  However now we’re here I’m quite happy with that and not in a rush.

Midwife appointment today went fine, all tests were as should be and baby’s heartbeat still sounds strong and rhymic and lovely.  The option of a wee procedure to get things started was raised but we decided to give nature another week before interferring so I have an appointment next Tuesday morning for a membrane sweep, if nothing has happened by then.  I also am now booked into the hospital to be induced on Saturday 17th at 11am if baby still hasn’t made its own merry way out by then.  So there’s no point asking every five minutes if baby is here yet, it could be some time!!  Not that I’m not enjoying the attention of course, is nice to share the excitement around!

Meanwhile, Bryan got back to work today, not totally over his tummy bug, but he hates missing work so is back there anyway.  And I had two lovely visitors this morning.  Carly is a lady who I know through work as she’s a solicitor and nearly 8 weeks ago she gave birth to Leighton.  As we’re both on maternity leave at the same time it was agreed it would be nice to meet up so she arrived today to show off her gorgeous wee son.  I did have a wee cuddle with him and he seemed to quite like my bump as a cushion to lean against!  Carly has suggested that once my baby appears we meet up at our local independant cinema for their Big Scream sesssion - a movie showing for Mums and babies under the age of 1, where screaming and breast feeding is totally acceptable!  Love it!
