Still waiting....
We are now entering week 38 of 40 and still no sign of our little daughter! I have been having a few stronger pains and "contractions" over the last few days which could be a sign that the end is nigh but as I keep reading on the baby websites (Baby Expert and Baby Centre) I have signed up to you never can really tell!
Today we have been to Toys R Us again as we needed to purchase a Cotbed mattress for the cotbed we brought way back in December as when we came to assemble it there was no mattress! (A minor detail we forgot to check in all the excitment). Anyway as well as that they had a sale on some really cute outfits and as perusual I just couldn't resist and ended up buying a very summery outfit, a sun hat and not one but two pairs of shoes although one pair are 6-9months and so will have to go away for now!
14 Days and counting lets hope they are speedy....

Waiting...
We're now entering week 37 of 40 week wait for Lily!
A fortnight ago, we decided to prepare the house, by cleaning the room to become the nursey; gathering together all the baby items; building the cotbed and pushchair - that were purchased way back in December! We've videod the whole process and will be posting it soon for all to see!
Soon after, early Monday morning Anneka started getting contractions. The frequency increased and once we had arrived at the Doctors to see the midwife, we had to rush to the labour ward - thinking this was it! After a further 48 hours of resting and monitoring on the antenatal ward, Anneka was discharged from the hospital, with a course of antibiotics. An infection had brought on the symptoms of labour!
So, we've since been resting and waiting, in anticipation of Lily's arrival. We made a further trip to the hospital since, due to similar pains. At least we have now had enough practice and know exactly where the labour ward is, along with the various amenities.
All I can say is that I hope she hurries up and makes an appearance soon!
