Baby Scoggins

There's still a possibility that we might be seeing our little one sooner than expected. Anne had a day of hospital tests yesterday, and the obstetrician is happy that her low amniotic fluid levels have stabilised a bit, just above the lowest threshold for concern. However, they are still worried that the baby has stopped growing - he's a good size already so it's not too much of a concern, but if he's not getting any bigger they might decide to deliver early! If they do then they will keep Anne in hospital for a few days prior to the delivery to give her some steroids to improve the baby's lung function.

So Anne's got more tests on Friday - and if they decide to deliver then, we might have the baby born two days later on Xmas Day! Failing that she's got another appointment on Wednesday 28th, and if they go for it then our boy could be born on the 30 December - which is my little nephew Reuben's birthday too! Blimey.

We've been doing some more shopping for baby things over the weekend. Some incredibly cute essential clothes (baby-gros, that sort of thing), bedding for the cot and a few little gadgets. So we're pretty well prepared should our little one arrive soon. Physically at least - whether we're mentally prepared we shall have to wait and see!
