Today is D-day, the baby is now officially “due” to arrive. Given the false starts we’ve had over the last couple of weeks (Laura’s had a few bouts of contractions lasting a few hours and then just stopping) neither Laura or I expected to still be waiting today. Still here we are. Laura has a [...]
Today’s Midwife appointment was pretty uneventful. The results from Laura’s Glucose & Iron tests where fine; baby’s heart rate is fine. It’s lying in the correct position, so that’s fine too ) Laura is extremely uncomfortable and pretty fed up now and I can’t say I blame her. We are both just looking forward to [...]
We’ve been for the 36 week check today. The midwife seems happy with everything so that’s all good; Laura has got to go for a blood sugar level test next week as the dipstick showed slightly raised levels of glucose.

By the time we got to the hospital the contractions had all stopped; Laura was put on a monitor for nearly an hour and had a few other checks with midwife and a doctor. Everything seems fine at the moment, we don’t know what caused the contractions to start (or stop again for that matter) [...]

She has just phoned the hospital and they want her to go in for an assessment at 10:00. The [...]
Laura has been to the midwife this morning, everything seems to be fine. This was just a routine check-up, they check things like Laura’s blood pressure and listen the baby’s heart beat; which (in case anyone’s interested) is 154bmp. The next check is in two weeks time which will be four weeks before the due [...]
Following on from a thread on the sitepoint forums I decided to see if “myName.com” was available. It turns out it isn’t. MarkFord.com is registered to a Ford dealer in the US of A. This is a downside to having the surname Ford, the only other one I can think of is people pronouncing it [...]
They’ve been a long time coming, but here are the ultrasound scans of baby Ford #2 (due November 2006): 20 week scan 12 week scan 9 week scan
