Impatient

I am so impatient for Bridey to have her baby - don't know why! I'm certainly not broody and can't see me ever having another child, in any way, shape or form, but I'm really looking forward to her little one arriving. It's probably the ability to go over and ooh and aah and cuddle and then bugger off - perfect parenting :-)

She's been in labour since yesterday, and went to the hospital today for a check, but is not having strong enough contractions so has gone home again, and will hopefully need to go back again tonight and the deed will be done by the end of tomorrow! Her son, who is 8, has been here since yesterday evening, planned anyway so that he could come trick or treating with us and then sleep over. The plan was that he would go home today and Bridey would cook a lovely Sunday dinner for us all, however, that's all changed and he is still here! Fortunately he doesn't have school tomorrow (they live bout 17 miles from us) - much to X's disgust as she has to go! - and I can wriggle work if need be, so fingers crossed there is a new arrival this evening!!
