The Countdown Begins!

So yes it would be remarkable if Emily did decide to arrive on her due date, but, the weeks and days left til that date are 4 weeks and 6 days. 

We've finally now seen our consultant obstetrician at Peterborough hospital and we were lucky enough to meet the neonatal paediatrician too.  They've assured and then reassured us that when Emily decides to come, people are and will be aware of the situation and that people will be there who know what to do.  If at any point we are unsure or worried we were told to ask for Dr Jones and he is more than happy to be there or advise in any way he can what needs to be done.  So it's decided, Emily will be born in Peterborough and the transferred to GOSH when a cot is available.  We were a little worried about the 'when a cot is available' bit, but also have been told that once she has her prostoglandin (sp!) drip in place she will be stable and that she will be transferred by specialist team as soon as possible.  So all set for a natural spontaneous birth! 
I have a few questions still, mainly about feeding when she is in Peterborough and I am hoping to speak to someone on the neonatal ward next week about it, fingers crossed I can just do this over the phone or something.

So now we're busy preparing the house, really need to have all things sorted in the next couple of weeks, just in case she decides she can't wait..... However, we'd prefer she stays cooking a bit longer as both the obstetrician and paediatrician are on holiday the next couple of weeks!

That's all the news really!
