The Waiting Game

Well, I'm officially due to have the baby today...and don't feel anywhere close to going into labour. I'm considering heading down to the hospital anyway. Surely if I explain that they told me I'm due today they'll arrange everything accordingly?

In all seriousness though, at my appointment this week they've told me that if I'm still going for my appt. next week they'll book me in for an induction on Mon 2nd Nov at the latest. That feels like a really long way away. After having Bayli three weeks early I already feel overdue!

So I guess it's out of my hands, it's either up to the baby or the doctors. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Life is traveling much the same in other areas. Living in the shed is still cosy and going pretty good. Did Scott mention the fabulous 'window' he made us? It's basically a frame that we've screwed in front of one of the garage doors. The top half is covered in shadecloth which lets in all the air and light without all the flies and mozzies, and the bottom has some colourbond type sheeting covering it. We just open it by raising the garage door from the inside. Did I mention that it's FABULOUS? We don't need the lights on during the day now, and it's much cooler too. My husband is a good man.

Bayli is great too, of course. Scott dressed her this morning and she headed straight outside. 15 secs later she comes back in saying 'Hat. Hat.' and went to get her hat before going back out again. 15 secs after that she came back in saying 'Sun-cream. Sun-cream.' So we put her suncream on and out she went again. 5 mins later she came in saying 'Nappy. Nappy. Poo-wee.' And yes, it did smell an awfull lot like her description. What made it even cuter is that Scott was the one who changed her.

That reminds me of some other exciting news. (That's a bit of a worry isn't it?) Bayli did her first wee on the toilet last weekend!! She's been asking to sit on the toilet for a couple of weeks now so we started sitting her on it at bath time, when we change her nappy etc (we haven't been full on toilet training because I'm so close to having the baby). So on Sunday we took her down for a bath and sat her on the toilet and she peed! Very exciting. She hasn't done another one yet, but that's okay, you've got to start somewhere.

Scott has just sent the restructured version of his troll novel (minus the troll) to a publisher who's seen the old version. So fingers crossed. He's nearly finished working on his Skylands novel and the same publisher has said that she'd like to see that one too.

I can't think of anything else newsworthy for now so I'll sign off.

Hopefully we'll have some more exciting news anyday now...
