The date is set!

Yesterday, we went to Ipswich hospital and set the 1st October as the date for Clare's induction! We could have had a slightly earlier date, but we wanted to avoid potentially running into the weekend as there are fewer staff around then. The 1st is a Monday so we've got the whole week to get him out, although hopefully he won't take that long.

So we are feeling very happy at the moment. We finally have an end date which is something to aim for. Ideally, we would like him to appear a bit before that because being induced isn't a barrel of laughs (says he, speaking from experience!). But if all else fails, we have that date set in our minds. It's a good job it's still just under two weeks away because we're still not entirely sorted!

Apologies for the lateness of this posting. The number of enquiries we've had from people shows how much they are thinking about us. We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers!

Of course, the downside (not really!) to this is that in two weeks we start the process of being parents and then the fun really begins!

First week of October - my favourite week of the year! Yeah! Fantastic stuff, and still praying for you down on the building site. Peanut sends a friendly wriggle.

Hey it's exciting!! Don't worry about the induction bit. Been there, done that! In the grand scheme of things (i.e the labour that follows!!!!!!!!!!!!) it's a doddle. And it's all worth it - you get to finally meet and cuddle your gorgeous little boy.
