32 weeks

Today marks just 7 weeks to go....Arrrggghhh! Scary stuff. Like most first time parents to be we go through those "Oh God, this is really happening" moments but we usually get over it and move on......at least until the next one!

The other milestone that we have reached is that the baby is now old enough to be delivered at the Wesley. Any baby under 32 weeks old has to be delivered at either the Mater or RBWH as they are the only ones with a NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Our little boy is so grown up now!

But of course, even though Mel would quite happily give birth at any time now (getting weighed down by the belly) our little one better not make any moves at least for the next 2 weeks as our obstetrician is away on conference leave. She said she was going to NZ to learn about menopause but I figured she should already know about that.......maybe there is something new to report on the cranky old woman horizon......oops did I say that?
