Due Date

Due date

Here we are 4.15 am wide awake.. and not by the labour pains that are due to kick off today or even by the 4 yr old scratching her skin like an old sea dog,  thanks to excema, but by a 2 yr old who has had a nightmare. I cuddle up next to her and she reminds me that I have a baby in my tummy, and asks "when it is going to come out?" I ask her if she thinks it will be today and she says "yes" and that "it will be a girl," and we will call it "girl" She is clearly extreamely creative and imaginitive !!
It is a special day today. It is my sons best mate back in NZ's b'day today he is 7. A bit bummed not to be there I thought that him and his buddies would all grow up together, but here we are, in an unexpected twist.. in WA we have been here for just over 1 year. So it would be nice to have this baby share this date with Tom Hannon in Raglan, home of the longest left hand surf break and lots of my amazing beautiful friends who I miss so much. On the other hand it would be good to have the date 9/10/11 or the 10/10/11 or even the 11/10/11, I am going for easy to remember dates as I hard enough time remembering the dates of the 3 kids I have already!
However at the moment Mattie ( the 6 yr old) has got the man flu and is vomiting with high fevers, and I have a skin specialist appt for Alice's (4 yr old) excema today so I'm a bit busy to have a baby today anyway!
We will see!
