waiting and wondering...


Assembling the crib was the final preparation job that needed doing.
The last piece in the puzzle of getting ready for our new baby.
And it's done.
The little rocking crib we had for our beautiful boy,
is back in our bedroom
and awaiting the arrival of another family member.

This waiting and wondering bit is hard.
I know that Splodge will come when they are good and ready.
I know that it could be 'any day now'.
I am enjoying spending time with my little man
and making the most of our last days as just me and him against the world.
But I am ready now.
And waiting . . .
And wondering . . .


So just for fun,
in the comments box,
it's time for your predictions . . .

But when do you think Splodge will arrive?
What do you think Splodge will weigh?
And do you think Splodge is a boy or a girl?

And for your information my due date is the 22nd.
And the beautiful boy was two days early weighing 7lb 1oz.

  2. I say - a girl - 7lb 5oz - on Saturday!
    My daughter says - a girl - 7lb 6oz and not until Tuesday (and she wants to train as a midwife so maybe she has some secret knowledge!!)

    Whatever and whenever - it will be beautiful and loved and have an awesome big brother!! - good luck xx

    1. I have no idea whatsoever. I think girl for an hour, and then boy for the next. Who knows, I just know that I don't want to go overdue, but then who does? X

    1. I'm not very good with baby predictions either, which is why I'm not making any myself. I know that Splodge will come when he or she is good and ready, still fun to hear all the guesses though. X

    1. Thanks for your prediction. A couple of days overdue wouldn't be too bad I suppose, better than a couple of weeks anyway. X

    1. Another vote for blue then. It's funny when I first announced I was expecting, practically everyone went pink. We'll see soon enough I guess. X

    1. The 18th would be good. I'm just keep my fingers crossed that neither of us are left waiting for too long. X

  16. SHE will be born on the 20th, weighing 7lb 3oz. Ohmmmmmm!

    That was me being psychic! :0) x

  17. I have been saying boy all along (but I'm frequently wrong, ask your mum)..

    Date - late on the 22nd so perhaps 23rd
    Weight - 7lb 10oz (no idea what that is in kg..)

    That does of course mean it will be a week before we meet Splodge in person.
