Playing The Waiting Game

Pregnancy, it seems, is a difficult thing to quantify if you are the NHS. As the weeks have rolled by, the scanning department at our local hospital have done all they can to keep Katie’s baby development at the same stage. When I say this, according to them, Katie has been at twenty weeks of pregnancy for the past three weeks. Using our own dates, we aren’t far past that stage, with our guess being at least twenty-two weeks.

We are both very lucky to be at this stage so even if the hospital were right, we would be happy to wait until the little one decides he is ready come join us.

Life has consisted of a few developments at work, we get busier and the deadlines shorter. I have been lucky enough to be rewarded for my work over the year so I can’t complain. Katie and I have also taken to eBaying a lot of our spare clothing, electronics and games to free some space in the house and get a little extra money to kit out the nursery.

I have been lucky enough to secure another writing gig at TheNextWeb.com, a very popular technology and startup blog that allows me to showcase my writing skills to a wider audience. This has meant that WillINeedIt has seen an upturn in referred traffic and the subscriber count is steadily increasing with more people taking the time to comment also.

On a completely different note, the cats seemed to have sensed Katie’s bump and are rallying to make sure they aren’t forgotten. There have been scenes of constant badgering, sleeping across her bump, meowing at the slightest bit of attention and they never seem to want to leave her side. Whether they can hear the movements in her belly or they can just sense it, the cats have never been so loving, perhaps they think they will be kicked out when the baby is born!
