almost....

Arrived at the hospital at 8am to find there is no bed available for the little one so the caesarean has been postponed. No photo to upload as promised I’m afraid.

Our consultant decided to rescan us to give her a better idea of just how hard she needed to fight to get us a bed and we had some very surprising results; they showed the baby was growing again which was great news. A real answer to prayer.

That said the consultant doesn’t want to change plans based on this one scan so we are still having a section when they can fit us in but we will not be an emergency. To help get us a slot they have admitted Kathy to a ward to keep pressure on the neonatal managers and we should be having it tomorrow. As it is left tonight there is a little baby boy who may need a pipe inserted to help him breath which will mean he will have the next available bed but after that it is for us assuming no more emergencies come in. They had 4 last night, the reason for our delay.

So I will say it again, this time tomorrow we will be uploading a photo of the baby. Unfortunately this will not be taken with the intended camera as when I got it out at the hospital to take a pre-caesarean photo I found the lens all smashed up. After a mild panic, appreciation of just how minor an issue this was and a brief shopping trip the camera is replaced an I’m snapping happy again but now with a few extra megapixles!! Just hope this one doesn’t break as buying 2 in 2 days would be too much to cope with!!

Our God son might get his wish to have her born on his 7th birthday tomorrow. Apparently that makes them twins??!!
