21st November 2008

An interesting few weeks since I last wrote. We were 100% going to have a Caesarian due to low placenta, but still they thought it would be good to check, and last Friday they found that miraculously it had moved enough to try for the natural birth. From a purely selfish point of view it's great news. I won't have to drive Alison around for 6 weeks and lift stuff for her, but it took a bit of getting used to as we were all prepared for having a baby on Monday 24th. Now it's back to the waiting game and see how we go.

I'm distracted at work, would much rather be at home making sure Alison isn't doing anything she shouldn't be. Still carrying on regardless although with less alcohol as I should be able to drop anything at a moments notice and drive her to the hospital. The later it goes on, the less I'll have to work in December though

All sorts of advice coming in; "It's a boy because it's out the front", "It'll be here by Wednesday" (last Wednesday mind you!), "You'll never sleep again". Getting used to the last one as a restless night's sleep is all Alison has now, and I get told off for snoring. I don't mind sleeping on the sofa as I get a better night's sleep, but she would rather I was close and awake than downstairs resting.

On to other things, we've pretty much bought all the Christmas presents, mainly cos we thought we'd be busy. Just got to pick up something for my brother, he's not usually difficult to buy for, but I just can't seem to find much this year.

Hopefully going to sit and watch lots of sport this weekend, labour depending, as I haven't been able to schedule anything in. Rugby League, Union, Football and NFL will fill my time, and I might actually try to sleep in tomorrow. Rare opportunity.

Next post might contain some news, so here's keeping everything crossed (not you Alison)
