Naomi went off to see the midwife yesterday (she is one week overdue) and was told that she is at 1cm. Not much yet but they did some sort of procedure, described as tickling the uterus. Naomi assured me that it was nothing like tickling! In 80% of cases this usually starts labour off but as my mother pointed out, how many would have started anyway. We shall see! Cliff, Emma and I are off to Swansea on Saturday, hoping that there will be a baby to see but if not, I'm sure that Naomi will appreciate the distraction! I have bought 200 daffodil and tulip bulbs and will spend part of Saturday afternoon planting them in the front garden.
For those who are waiting with bated with breath for me to write more about the books I read during the retreat. Sorry but I've been so busy with reports and much nonsense at school that I don't have the energy, mental that is, to think about them. That has to change since by blood sugar is fluctuating despite the fact that I'm eating basically the same things. I thought I would do this as en experiment to see the environmental factor as well as the food factors involved in this situation. I'm sure I don't have enough data yet but I think I am seeing a trend. Well, that's all for now. More news should a baby appear!

It's actually called a cervical sweep. Uterus tickling is a GB invention!
200 bulbs! What a beautiful display that will be in Spring.
Looking forward to more about the books once the eight plus houre a day of "nonsense" subsides.
Of course, thinking about Naomi...may the baby make his appearance soon.
love mj
