T minus 10 hours and counting...

Well, the curry did not work.

I have brewed up a supersaturated raspberry leaf tea solution this morning and reduced it down to an almost black liquor which smelled so awful that I offered to inject it intravenously, but Helen thought that 28 weeks of heparin injections in her tummy and thighs was enough injections for one pregnancy.

Thanks for the anonymous comment yesterday, we have been using your suggestion too and while that isn't working, it is making the waiting more pleasurable ! You might like to check out the the very first post in this blog for an interesting note on how this subject is best approached.

So today's the day it all kicks off, one way or the other and I am not talking about events this afternoon at the Walkers Stadium. Although if we are not at the hospital by then, at least I can listen to the Radio Norfolk commentary on the internet. I really enjoy listening to a wholly biased account of the proceedings. Not quite the same as being there, of course. But meanwhile, back at the baby...it seems incredible to think that by this time tomorrow it is highly likely that we will have a new baby. My almost irrepressible excitement is for once tempered by anxiety at the process that moves us 'from here to maternity'. After all that we have been through and especially all that Helen has been through, I so want her to have a straightforward delivery without too much intervention. Please keep all appropriate parts of your anatomies appropriately crossed for us today and tomorrow.

More later....
