The Waiting Game

Hello there,

I just wanted to let you know that we are still playing the waiting game as our baby girl continues to tumble and dance in my tummy but doesn't seem ready yet to make an appearance... she's not officially due until August 1st but I'm so impatient about getting to meet her that it already feels like she's overdue!!!

Thankfully, her big brother Jack is there to keep Ben and I amused as we count the hours and days. Here he is, first having just drunk some homemade yoghurt and then playing with an abricot.

Are we sure we want another one as crazy as him?

YES!!!

love n hugs,

Robynxxx

And the boy?

Jack? He's doing as grand as ever!

Here he is wearing his Papa's new hat.

Ben's new hat?

Yes, he lost his old one a couple of weeks ago on the way to the train station. Jack and I went for a walk to try and find it but without success. So, when I got Ben his new hat yesterday, Jack looked at me and asked if Papa was going to lose his hat again. I was too busy laughing to reply!

Getting Ready to Go...

Well, the baby's pink clothes are drying in the bathroom and my bag for the hospital is sitting in the hall waiting for me, and so now I guess it's only a question of time.

A question of how much time? Officially she's due on August 1st 2009 but, as nobody was able to reach her by telephone to tell her, I'm not sure she'll know to come on the exact date.

And so, really, anytime in the next two to three weeks would be good!

I went to visit the hospital yesterday and I have my last meeting with my doctor this Tuesday and so things are wrapping themselves up... but very calmly because everything is going so well. Sure, I'm sleepy but for the rest everything is trundling along as planned and when I feel her turning and shifting and stretching inside of me she feels ever so healthy and ready to join in this game called life!

And, heck with such a pretty bag and such pink pink clothes, who can blame her?
