Extra Time

Christmas has come and gone, and if one more person asks if there’s ‘any news?’ on the baby front I’m going to scream. Five days later and it’s still showing no signs of wanting to come out. Mind you, with the wind and rain howling round the house, it’s hardly surprising. We’re beginning to think that it won’t be with us until next year – what a bizarre concept…

On Monday I’ve got instructions to call the midwife and she’ll come to the house to try to get things moving (won’t go into the details, don’t worry). If that doesn’t work then it’s off to Reading for an induction. Either way, there is light at the end of the tunnel and with a bit of luck and some help from those in the know, our baby should be with us by the end of next week at the latest.
