So apparently this baby is due next thursday. Well, saturday according to my dates. As it happens, both of these are pretty inconvenient since Phil has booked gigs and meetings for the whole of next week and his best friend's wedding reception (they got married abroad) is on the saturday night. So, this time I'm actually hoping for an overdue baby! Well, actually I wanted Chloe to be overdue too as my final A level exam was on the day she was due, but she listened to my requests and came the following day so all was well :-)
I feel like we're semi-prepared - all the clothes and nappies are washed and ready, but we haven't got any of the big things from the loft in case we have viewings on our house (no, still not sold) so it still feels a bit unreal. I just can't wait to meet this teeny person who is coming to join our family! I've been suspecting girl all the way through but am now leaning towards boy... Chloe says definitely boy, Finn says he's sure it's a monkey. Phil has been in denial about the whole thing but trying out the birth pool last weekend made it seem a bit more real I think - the children were very pleased with the pool too!
So I'm ignoring all the little pains I've been getting on and off for a week - baby is posterior so I know it's going to take ages and my body is trying to persuade it to turn... but I do feel a huge surge of excitement each time anything twinges, just knowing I'm going to be able to meet my baby soon!
