Still Waiting ! - Monday 7th May 2007

So far he is 2 days late!

I am Still Here - Saturday 5th May 2007

Today is Lennon's due date! I am still here nothing has happened yet.

My hands are very swollen and sore today, Daddy Wayne and I are having a nice relaxing weekend in together. Just waiting for our little man to turn up and join us.

1 Day To Go! - Friday 4th May 2007

Today it is one day to go before Lennon should arrive, I am not convinced that he will turn up tomorrow. I think he will arrive sometime next week. I have sent Wayne fishing tonight as there is no point sitting around waiting for something to happen. As long as he can get home within the hour then I should be ok, if not I will be knocking on the neighbours doors!

Gifts For Lennon - Thursday 3rd May 2007

Tonight Lennon's Aunties and Uncles came round to bring him some lovely gifts for when he arrives. He received some beautiful outifts to wear and a really nice photo session. This photo session allows us to have 4 pictures in his first 12 months. I think it will be nice to get one done about every 4 months. Also I would like one of just the three of us, our little family.

Everyone really wants to meet Lennon now and cant wait for his arrival.

Big thank you to Aunty Emma, Uncle Luke, Aunty Becki and Uncle Scott for all the lovely gifts for Lennon.

Midwife Check Up - Thursday 3rd May 2007

I have been for what I hope is my last midwife check up. She advised that he is still growing well. His head is still not engaged but she advised that sometimes this does not happen till contractions start. She advised that if he is not here by Thursday next week that I can go to her and she will do what they call a sweep.

After the midwife appointment my friend Sarah and her baby Josh went swimming, try and move Lennon!

Another Day and No Sign! - Thursday 3rd May 2007

Another day has passed and there is still no sign of Lennon ever wanting to leave my tummy! It has got to the stage now where people ring or text each day to ask for an update and if anything has happened. I mean as if they wouldn't hear if anything happened. I would scream it from the roof tops if he was coming, not only in pain but in excitement as well.

Wayne and I are still a little undecided on Lennons middle name, I hope we can decide on something soon.

Waiting! - Wednesday 2nd May 2007

Everyday now I am waiting for something to happen. I have tried loads of the natural ways to try and get things started but they have been no help.

Curry - this just gave me really bad heartburn in the middle of the night, so had to get up and have some Gaviscon. Not going to try that again.
Pineapple - I ate loads of pineapple and this made no difference what so ever.
Blowing up Balloons - I tried and tried and couldn't even get the balloon to blow up!
Watching a weepy movie - this did nothing but make me cry and cry.
Bumpy Car Ride - this just made me need the need a wee more than usual.
Swimming - I swam over 20 lengths and this didn't get anything going at all.

I give up, I think Lennon will arrive when he wants too. I have my last Midwife appointment tomorrow, fingers crossed she will say that his head has engaged.
