All clear
Well, after an extremely thorough scan Baby Bean has passed his/her first physical, with the obligatory get-out clause, the 'as far as possible etc., can never be 100%' my next Grandchild appears to be fine. The extra fluid is 'just one of those things'. The size is causing concerns from two perspectives. The first is that at 32 weeks daughter has a pregnancy that is the size of 40 weeks. Doc suggested that she should give up work now, daughter says she is going to carry on another 6 weeks. Glances were exchanged between Doc and me, so Doc told her that if that is the case she is to return home from work every day,and do nothing, as she is very likely to go into prem labour if she doesn't and they would like her to get to 36 weeks. The second concern is that daughter is quite a small build and the estimate for baby's weight, at term, is 10lbs. The Doc is seeing her again at 36 weeks, hopefully not before, and mode of delivery will be discussed.
Jack is still not brave enough to take that first lonesome step. He climbs up and over everything, imitates me sneezing and coughing and finds the world an hilarious place, oh to be a baby.
Hubby is off on Friday for a golfing weekend. This time they have to wear a country's national costume, amongst other merry juvenile japes. I'm out with a friend on Friday night, and then Saturday I'm having a girls night in with the daughters watching Bridget Jones - Edge of Reason. I'm hoping for dry weather so that I can make a start on the garden, it has been sadly abandoned since my raking = bad back episode.
(I feel really posh today. Yesterday one of my ladies gave me a pressie, a selection of Clarins - gosh I've never had Clarins before, I will probably just display it to impress people.)

(16.3.05 19:29) great news, glad to hear it. and the clarins is no doubt extremely well deserved - enjoy! |
|
(16.3.05 19:29) Thank God it was not as bad as you thought. We really must see madam before she produces...and by the sound of it the sooner the better. Does she have a bigger waistline than me yet? Auntie Matilda will have to "have a word" about taking it easy. |

(16.3.05 20:34) Excellent news! What are Clarins? |
|
(16.3.05 20:43) Great news. nicolajames: posh makeup http://int.clarins.com/ |

(16.3.05 21:17) Thank you, Dave. Looks posh! |
|
(16.3.05 21:18) Bloody hell, 10lbs! I wouldn't like to be pushing out a babe that size! |
|
(16.3.05 21:24) Glad to hear the good news! =) |
|
(17.3.05 02:11) ahhhh, thankyou God  Hope they are wrong about the 10lb....i've known them to be tis a tight squeeze....

|
(17.3.05 07:26) that must be quite a relief!! Good luck xx |
|
(17.3.05 07:36) Im glad everythings ok but as for the big baby tell her to have a section i couldnt part with that x |
|
(17.3.05 07:55) Phew. I hope that girl of yours takes it seriously easy when she finishes work every day (but who am I to talk?) Clarins is brilliant - you deserve a treat xx |
|
(17.3.05 08:10) Hurrah for the good news. I have stopped looking at the garden, all I see at the moment is work that needs doing after the winter neglect (bare minimum done like pruning autumn fruiting raspberries and potting some strawberry runners for somebody else's garden). Will have to swap notes on progress. |
|
(17.3.05 10:32) You are all lovely. Thankyou so much for sharing my maternal distress. Much as I hate to admit it, I am fast thinking that an Elective Section would be for the best. We'll see. |
|
(17.3.05 18:59) I hope she doesn't need the section. But i was a big baby and unfortunately it was all head so i got stuck. So it might be necessary... but you know what they say "the bigger they are the harder they fall" Maybe gravity will help! best of luck to her!
