Baby Elliot!
http://babyaven.blogspot.com/2007/06/elliots-arrival.html
I'll leave it quite simply at that for the time being, there's a story to tell, but right now isn't the time for it i'm sure.
To everyone that's been texting me over the last few days/weeks, the wait is finally over!
Thank you everyone!

I realise now that my last post
was actually quite pre-emptive. It seems that the last couple of days have flown by and the "contractions" have actually been nothing more than "braxtons", sadly this has meant i've been at work repeatedly (though it's actually a burden i have partially enjoyed). God knows when things will change and the baby will arrive, but it's probably quite safe to say now that it's probably going to be soon.

Interesting or perhaps not
Well it's entirely possible that this whole labour thing might actually start some time soon. we've gone through plenty of braxtons and cramps etc.. but we really don't know quite when things will start.
I've been in a foul mood today so i phoned ahead when i left work to warn her, to be greeted by someone just as frustrated on the other end of the phone. It seems she's been having cramps repeatedly this afternoon, but they dont presently seem to be worsening or anything. So god knows what's going on to be quite honest.
I'm still in a bad mood, but now at least that means there's two of us being quite grumpy lol.

Well that's +5 days!
And still absolutely no sign whatsoever! (is that a real word? doesn't look right all combined like that) No broken waters, no cramps, no pains, no aches...
I'm starting to wonder just when exactly this little blighter intends on arriving. Today (18th) is our anniversary, we've been married now for two years. (cotton? someone suggested i believe) I really can't think of a more useless anniversary gift. Gold, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Silver etc.. i understand, but cotton? paper? card? Those just sound like pathetic excuses to make people buy cards and gifts for each other! Which is also something we've decided not to do this year. In my own personal belief it sets a bad precedent, as i very much doubt we'll ever start up the gift buying again. But i guess we've got something else to look forwards to spending money on at this time of year.
I was also made aware today that depending on it's arrival date it may well not be the Gemini expected. In-fact it would be a Cancer, though i have to admit i know nothing about star signs (outside my own) and have little belief in their stated attributes, though i do know from experience that most people are quite convinced my "Scorpio" attributes are quite telling. So i'm going to do some research and find out exactly what these star signs may mean for my offspring.

Well this puts us into the positives... hmmm
Well when i posted yesterday afternoon (well today really but seeing as i'm posting again after midnight it really is tomorrow!) i was hoping in my heart of hearts that the due date would be the day i met my offspring. However the evening has passed without any sign of the happy event (with the exception of a few kicks and movement) so as we cross into the T-Plus 1 day mark i guess i should just buckle myself in for the ride.
All these midwives and mothers that repeatedly said "your first is normally late" appear to know what they're talking about. Now honestly the only good thing i can find about this is that judging by the weather i'd rather he/she didn't arrive this week, i'd rather enjoy my paternity leave with a little sunshine so we can bond in the sunshine! But frankly i'm getting frustrated at work now. Nothing at all to do with the work, just the fact that i think in my minds eye i've already forseen this coming break and have planned what we'd be doing today with our newborn. But as per normal the control is removed from my hands and passed firmly into the realm of fate.
What an utter bastard! Well wish us luck! I'll try to post updates daily, i'm actually quite enjoying the calming effect of being able to get the frustration out without anyone caring about the webspace i waste (well possibly with the exception of Google, Blogger and the providers that make this space available!)
Oh and Sister! Enjoy texting me because i'm going to make sure when or if you have one of these things i will rub it all back in tenfold! :P
