Only six more days to the ‘official’ launch of the Swiss Family Bodlington. Both of us are extremely anxious now. Every time Ames gets a twinge or slight discomfort I am thinking ‘here we go’.
The chances are that he will be born after the 6th. I have formed this opinion through a quick survey at work from all the recent dads(of which there have been 5) and they have all been late. Ames is rather large as is expected and ‘he’ is struggling to find room to move. Yesterday his bony elbow was pushing out for a stretch which lasted at least a minute before relaxing again. What a beast!
I have this nagging feeling that I have forgotten to do some critical chore or bought some vital piece of equipment but maybe this is just my nervousness at the impending birth. It is hard to believe that in a week WE WILL HAVE A BABY IN OUR FLAT! A new life to nurture and love. It’s amazing really, and almost unreal in some way.
