Yesterday when Sarah came to visit she brought a lovely bunch of flowers with her.

I have two bunches going at the moment. Quite unusual for me! The first were from Veronica and Steve, and are just beautiful and bright yellow. When I got them they were all closed up, but have since opened and […]

Around 5 last night, got a call. Doctor is busy with two ladies in labour, can I cancel your appointment for tonight and you come in tomorrow to see the midwife instead? Sure I reply. I don’t mind (who in their right mind likes going out in this horrid, cold weather anyway?) Then we went […]

Went for my walk. Didn’t take mobile, as the battery started beeping at me. Plugged it in to the wall to recharge and then took off. Got to the post office, checked mail, bought stamps for letters to post, dropped said letters into big red post box and came home again.
Stupidly told Tony that […]

Yeah I know, still a week and a bit to go, but I’m over it.
3:30am, awake for ages, decide to get up, watch a little telly, to calm my mind and help me sleep. 2 episodes of Melrose and one of Buffy later, and I’m no closer to sleeping than I was before. *Sigh*
Go […]

So two days now. Monday evening they were there. This morning they were there. Nothing constant, nothing reliable, basically just the beginnings of something that’s eventually going to happen.

Anyway, get there on time and there are about 6 couples waiting outside. See Paula the receptionist and we’re told that there’s about […]

I received an email from a friend this morning, who has just returned from a 10 week overseas trip. On a weekly basis, she had filled me and others in on the hijinks that she and her hubby got up to during the 10 weeks, so this email was purely to find out how we […]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. If you want to know what happens when it happens drop me an email to awmalloy(at)gmail.com and I’ll add your mobile number to the notification list. Pretty much I hope to have photos up here and on flickr as soon as I can tear myself away and run down to […]

That’s the most common question I hear these days and I always answer it the same way.
I’m equal parts nervous, terrified and thrilled.
It’s been so long now I just want to see our baby. It seems like an eternity until our nominated due date but as each day passes the excitement and the nerves grow […]
