Listening
Into the BGH again yesterday for a CTG (Cardiotograph) which measures Tadpole’s heart rate. No more scans now, as s/he is too big for them to get a clear view. Anyway, the results indicate that Tadpole is hale and hearty and the consultant (or at least his registrar) have no particular inclination to intervene if the due date comes and goes without anything happening.
This is a big relief because last week we were told that due to the indicated size of the baby, they would be considering intervention if the due date was passed.

Tick tock
Three weeks and counting. The Tadpole appears to be hale and hearty and on the large side. This means that the consultant is making noises about not wanting to allow it to go much beyond term. Hopefully nature will take care of things and we won’t have to go down the route of intervention.

Cot free
A cot has appeared in our bedroom. It’s from Gill our barmaid and is just part of a ton of free stuff that both she and Tracy one of our other barmaids has given us. Another source of freebies has been the Freecycle network which is worth a look if you have stuff you either want or don’t need. One thing we haven’t got second hand is a car seat, since you don’t know where its been or if it’s been in accident. It came from the Baby Centre in Hawick (no, they don’t sell babies) and is the only significant expense so far.

The intro and the outro
Another blog? What do we need another blog for? Well, from what we’ve heard, once people become parents their conversation tends to become a little… how shall we say… one tracked. Something along the lines of “here’s what the baby did today” and “here’s what we did to the baby” and suchlike. Since the other blog is supposed to be about running a hotel it’s time to move all the baby related stuff elsewhere.
39 days – and counting.
