Investigating a Birth Goddess

Tomorrow is a big milestone in the history of the family - Alfie is 37 weeks, or more importantly, full term. It feels so strange to know that he is now cooked and that we have nothing more to do than just wait until he is ready to come and meet us. He clearly feels the excitement building because he's giving my ribs a daily workover, which in a funny sort of way is quite comforting. We’re...

Ramblings of a Geriatric Telly Tubby

Once more unto the Breech

Well we had our bonus 32 week scan this morning and the good news is that Alfie is measuring perfectly for his dates, and is estimated at about 4 1/2lb, which is a lovely healthy weight.
