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!
