One week to go!

Well today marks the one week to go mark (unless Noodles decides to make an even earlier arrival). We had our last antenatal visit before the C-section date but alas it was not with our usual O+G as she is still overseas until late Friday. We went to see her stand-in. We were getting a little stressed today as our usually very active son seemed less intent on making himself felt but instead remained quiet! The O+G understudy suggested we go to the Wesley for a CTG (or "a tracing of the heart rate and uterine contractions" for the uninitiated) just to reassure us. After Mel was attached to various wires and the machine that goes ping for 40 minutes everyone was happy with the way he was behaving. What a relief! After we got home he was much more active (always the way!). Anyway, it was a good excuse for me to get out of seeing my afternoon patients :)
