She is the most perfect gorgeous baby ever.

Update 17/12/2005

Wow, it's been a while since i've updated but alot has happened!
Right where to start well i've been in hospital since the 4th Decemeber (i'm home on weekend leave this weekend for good behaviour) and will be in hospital now until the baby is born.
I was on the chest ward until tuesday 13th when I was tranfered to the ante-natal ward!
The plan is that the baby will be born on Wednesday 21st December 2005. Due to me being poorly and all the steroids i've been on the baby has suffered and is small - weighing just under 4lb on the 13th at my growth scan. I also found out i'm carrying a little girl! We are holding out until the 21st as i'll be 36 weeks on that day so we're hoping she'll put on some weight by then! Lots of calories for me!!
We really like the name Abigail Lucy but of course this may well change when we meet her for the first time next week.
I will keep you all updated and hope you have a brilliant christmas if i don't talk to you all before!!!!

Thought it was about time to update!

Well I went to see Kirstie on the 30/11 Abi is SO SO cute i had another cuddle! Can't get over how tiny she is!

It's my baby shower tonight! I can't wait! How exciting!! Mum has brought lots of goodies to eat! Lots of people who were going to come to the previous date unfortunately can't make it so it's going to be alot smaller but nice as i'm tired so will be more relaxed.

It was steve's dad's funeral yesterday a very long and emotional day,ended by a family meal at an Italian restaurant - how yummy!

I haven't been too well at all this week and am struggling to stay out of hospital as I know if I go in they are going to deliver me, and I want the baby to stay in till at LEAST 36 weeks (i'm 33 weeks now) to have the best chance. I feel if I can't do this i've failed! I just don't want the baby to have premature lungs as i've had so many problems with my lungs.

I hope this finds you all well, I wil of course keep you updated on everything that happens.

Lots of love
