As I suspected it seems the little boy wasn’t listening when it was calculated that today would be his birth-day. Technically there’s still three hours left but that would make it among one of the fastest first births I’ve ever heard of. Apparently the first ones usually take at least 12 hours (ahhhh!) so I guess he could still come while it’s the 23rd of July in the northern hemisphere if he got a move on.
The midwife at the birth centre said they’d let me go 14 days over before they got serious about making him come out. But she said there’s lots of things I could try before it got to that stage. I could send in a brochure of the Target toy sale perhaps? Or go for some 5-chili rated Indonesian at Shalom?
Anyway I won’t take any drastic action before the end of the week cause I’m still in the running for the baby sweep at work and with maternity leave well established now the winnings could come in handy.
Just when you least expect it…
