The waiting game

Well, they say that 'due dates' are nothing more than a private joke shared amongst obstetricians and mid-wives ... but personally, I fail to see the funny side.

Hurry up!

Honestly, I'm going out of mind with anxious anticipation. Its like been on the run, knowing that you're going to be caught soon - its a case of when, rather than if. Its terrible!

Oh ... and apparently your Mum's not having the best time of it either. ;)

HURRY UP!!

Week 39 ...

... officially begins this weekend. Eeek!

The 'final week'. I can't believe we're here already. There's no way its been 32 weeks since we were first alerted to your presence. It seems like nothing has really happened over that time, but when I think about it I realise that we've actually been constantly, insanely, busy preparing for your arrival.

And so here we are - your room is ready, the cupboard is well-stocked with nappies, the bathroom with baby wipes and the freezer with lasagna. Your Mum is on maternity leave (enjoying it a bit too much for my liking) and my work is on notice that - at any moment now - I'll be running out the door to begin the biggest adventure of my life.

Any moment now ...
