The Mystery Of The Absent Baby
Where is it? I mean really, where is it?
We have been waiting on our bundle of joy arriving now for over 9 months and I fear the stork may have got itself lost somewhere over the North Sea.
Kirsty is now 6 days overdue and time will come when our marvelous NHS will take things into their own hands and induce – not something I’m looking forward to, but it does have its advantages (no calling taxis in a panic at 3am for example!)
Everything’s ready to go, the bags are packed and shiny new slippers and gowns have been purchased for the imminent trip to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
It takes it toll on you after a while. Emotionally, I’m all geared up to start strutting round town with my newly delivered mini-me. Physically, I’m already shattered. The waiting is terrible. Life’s on hold; “her indoors” and I are too scared to step beyond the threshold of the front door for fear of anything happening in an inconvenient and inappropriate place.
I’m starting to get my head round the fact that what’s “in there” will soon be “out here” and I can barely contain myself. The strange pulsating belly and sudden cries of pain from oor Kirsty are becoming far more frequent and the day will soon be upon us (hopefully) when the mornings are no longer heralded by the roars of Iceland trucks, but those of a hungry baby.
Everything else in currently on hold but in the meantime, I have Twitter.
Well I believe congratulations will be in order – We to welcomed a little baby this year. I had a beautiful little boy we called Harry. Believe me when I say you have many exciting sleepless days and nights to come. I had a relatively easy time he was 10 days early and it was all over in 8hours with no pain relief. I am very excited for you both and wish Kirsty a very safe and easy delivery. Take Care Samx
