Now monday night is a good night for me as mummy has choir practise at Gloucester catherdral. Tonight, the plan is to gurgle along with you and iron some shirts, maybe watch TV too.
The weekend just gone was rather good fun as G&G Peace came to visit, then on Sunday we all went to see G&G Whitson.

Heave Ho
You were weighed today at the baby clinic. You new weight is 11 lbs 2 oz. However you haven't pooped for a few days so who knows how much you actually weigh and how much of a stinker it will be.

New Blog
As you can see I have copied all the entries over from the old Yahoo! blog. This is because Blogger has better support for pictures. I hope to post lots, real soon.
Later today we're off to meet with our friends at the NCT. I'll tell you all about it later

Busy, busy, busy - so much to say but but not enough time to say it. Anyway, I forgot to mention that we named you Beatrice Evelyn Patience.
You are a lovely girl and I'm truly proud to be your Dad. I'm really looking forward to Christmas!

Wow, so much has happened, so much to say. Here goes
Mummy went into hospital on Tuesday December 6th to be induced, that means she was helped to give birth to you. We got to the hospital at 8 in the morning, We spent a lot of time listening to your heartbeat, which was nice. The gave mummy medicine at 9am, 12 noon and 4pm. Mummy had contractions start at 9pm (I recorded the time of each contraction in a book I was reading). At midnight the ladies looking after mummy suggested that I go home,which I did.
Anyway, it all kicked off after I left.
Fifteen minutes later, mummy's water broke and the midwifes called me to come back. When I arrived mummy was have strong contractions and was in quite a lot of pain. I held mummy's hand but she said "Don't Touch Me!". Just after the midwife left the room and mummy and I were alone together mummy said "Get me something to be sick in". I rushed out the room to find someone to help. Everyone was busy because there were twins being born (Kylie & Derren) as well as other babies too. I came back to the room to find mummy lying on her side, with sick dripping off her arm onto the floor. All mummy could manage was a weak "Too late". Poor mummy. Anyway I cleaned her up and she felt a bit better, (very yucky!)
Mummy was in lots more pain until they gave her an injection in her back called an epidural. Wonderful stuff! It made mummy feel much better. At 5 in the morning mummy and I listened to Queen's greatest hits and then we fell asleep until 6am listening to the audiobook of The Da Vinci Code.
Mummy had to start pushing you out at 7 in the morning (now Wednesday 7th December). But because you were so big the doctor's had to help pull you out with foreceps.
So you were born at 8:52 and weighed 8 pounds 12 and a half ounces, which is quite big

SUNDAY night 19:50, watching TV, watching BBC1
I forgot to say that mummy has had a REALLY bad cold for almost a week now. She's not been very well at all, maybe that's why you're not here yet. Maybe you're waiting for mummy to feel better, that's nice.
Anyway, it looks like you won't be here until the until the end of next week. That means that your birthday will probably the 10th of December. Looks like you'll be getting a joint birthday and christmas present each year....good for me bad for you. Mummy says that your birthday parties won't be picnics in the sun, I disagree!

Knock, knock
Who's there
Baby
Baby who
Well, it's not baby Whitson because you are still inside mummy
Your official due date WAS Saturday November 26th. But it's December 1st now and you're still not here. Maybe you don't like the idea of being a November baby. The bad news is that the longer you stay inside mum the longer I have to think of REALLY weird middle names for you. Are you gonna pay :-)
See you soon, Dad xxxx

Mummy and I went to visit her midwife today, she's the lady that looks after mummies when they are waiting for babies. Mummy's midwife is called Bev, she's very nice - mummy sees her most weeks. Mummy had some tests done and she's got very slightly high blood pressure (I'll try to explain it to you one day - when I understand what blood pressure really means), mummy also has protein in her wee (I'll explain more another day).
It's nothing to worry about but tomorrow I am taking mummy to the hospital for some further test, to make sure that you and mummy are both OK. It's possible that the nice people at the hospital either look after mummy for a little bit so she can have some rest and they might even help you be born sooner. I can't wait to meet you!
On a completely different subject, I've been listening to Waves by a band called Blancmange. I'll play it to you one day, I promise.
See you soon, Daddy xxx
