The anxious wait continues...

After a few agonizing days of apprehension and anxious waiting, it looks like our SM has been booked in for a C-Section tomorrow morning (Sunday 17th) at 9am.

We're not entirely sure if the hospital aimed for a natural birth as the dates of cervical sweep and then gel induction 48 hours later may have lead to a natural birth some time today or possibly yesterday. It probably would have alleviated a huge deal of stress and worry if we had just fixed the 17th as a C-Section and been able to focus all our hope and energy on this date.

But at least some of the doubt and worry is shifting and we can focus it on tomorrow morning. If anything changes, we'll keep you posted. We're hoping and praying that this week of anxiety and worry will soon turn to happiness and joy. In the meantime, ENORMOUS thanks to everyone who has sent their warm wishes and kind messages, we hugely appreciate this!!!

    Hope you get some sleep tonight! All the anxious months of waiting will be a distant memory when you hold your baby.

    I'm with you Kerrie. It's 5:40...checking while coffee if brewing and only 1 of 3 children are up for the day! I REALLY wish there were more natural births in India...but it always seems to lead to a C! Good luck fellas!

    Last minute call, I am going to change my mind and say BOY. Not that it matters, you and all of us will love Boy or Girl. I am SOOOO tempted to phone Dr Shivani and see if bubble is born, but will be patient and let you announce your news.

    Finally - it's your turn!!!!!

    Love Meg and the Tobester
