After a long hard slog Erin Mae Ford finally put in an appearance at 02.22 today. Weighing 8lb 1. I meant to post lots of pictures, but I’ve bought the wrong lead for the camera with me. Here’s two I took with the phone. I’ll post more when I get home.
So, this morning was Laura’s 41 week check with the midwife. She’s now booked in to be induced on Monday. We’re still hoping baby will make an appearance before then.
Just back from the midwife’s, everything continues to be fine. So it’s just a waiting game still. Laura’s cooked Chilli for dinner, I think the plan is to have a curry Tommorow (that’ll be the third in a week); she’s also got the reflexology appointment booked. So here’s hoping something happens soon.
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. We’re not overly concerned about that though because she had the same thing with Isla. [...]
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) [...]
I got rudely awoken about 04:30 Today by Laura with what she described as a “very sore tummy”. Since then she’s been having contractions varying in strength and frequency, but no further apart than 10 minutes. 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 [...]
A good friend of mine Sam is off to walk the great wall of china in a couple of days. As well as getting some much needed excersize he’ll be raising a good sum of money for whizz-kidz. I’ll be adding my sponsorship on payday. Sam’s organisational skills are about as good as mine, so [...]
