Happy Birthday Orla Eowyn!

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 14:51:31 +0000

45 Minutes Old, originally uploaded by Martin Burns.

Born this morning at 11:10, weighing 3740g (8lb 4oz in Old Money).

Everyone's doing just fine - Morgan's very, very excited. Ruaridh's a bit more nonchalant so far. Lucy's relaxing, and I'm on paternity leave!

If you're in a present-buying mood (well, a bloke's got to try, eh?), see Lucy's Gift List.

Whoosh...

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 17:19:03 +0000

Whoosh! Did you see it? That was my due date going by - again. I was officially 'due' yesterday. I had great fun yesterday watching people who asked so when are you due? blanching at the response today. One woman took a step back, a couple looked shocked, not knowing quite what to say. Well what do you say?

Third Babies

Thu, 09 Mar 2006 06:00:56 +0000

As the due date is fast approaching I have found my self pondering all the "What Ifs..."

The more people I speak to about third babies the more I realise just how unpredicatable they are. We could be talking a 20 minute labour or a 20 hour labour - really don't know. It doesn't help that this pregnancy has been so much harder than the other two. Thankfully my SPD has not been anywhere near as bad as it was with Ruaridh but, my goodness, the nausea has been awful.

Birth Pool Test Run

Sun, 05 Mar 2006 23:47:20 +0000

Like our previous two, this baby will (hopefully) be born at home, in water.

This time, though, we've bought a pool rather than renting one. But either way, you still want to do a test run a few weeks in advance of the date, so this was ours.

I don't expect this to be the final location - that's planned to be the dining room. However, if Lucy changes her mind...

Anti-natal classes

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:06:45 +0000

I have been attending ante-natal classes to prepare for this baby. Okay, okay - third time round perhaps I don't need them as much as I have done in the past. So - my reasons for attending are to meet mums with babies the same age (always useful), to actually have some time in the week to think about the baby and what is to come and to have a good laugh at what is said. (Oh and there might be a small business reason in there too ;-) )

Baby Nesting

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 17:33:53 +0000

My Mum and Dad are up this week. Generally helping out as it's half-term but also helping me prepare for the baby - which now we are into February is alarmingly close.
