Jamie felt a little off this afternoon so much so she called the midwife who told her to come in to hospital and get checked out. We’ve been here 2+ hours now and although Jamie still isn’t 100% the baby is and we are sat waiting for a doctor to see us.
No huffing or puffing just yet purely a precautionary hospital visit today so were just bored now, waiting I imagine a lot more hospital time soon but not quite so boring fingers crossed!

Our friend Patty asked us to make a video for her dad to wish him a Happy 60th Birthday so she could add it to a compilation she was creating to send to him but as always we were too late to make the final cut which is disapointing but here is ours and Patty’s video too.
HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY TOM
Sorry we didn’t make it!
We decided to “walk” to the paper shop this morning as it was sunny after a heavy rain shower, so Reagan and me set off for our very first pramless walk to the shop. Reagan absolutely loved the freedom of the reins and that she was walking and not sat in the pram. I was fascinated in watching her, as much as she was in EVERYTHING that we saw, stepped on, touched, smelt, heard she took it all in and I was privileged to watch her.
We took our time and strolled along the sun shone we laughed we stood in some puddles…cried when dad stopped us sitting those puddles, but basically loved the morning until……..spit…….spot……
I just thought the black cloud above us wasn’t going to go away so I scooped up our chicken an made for home, we got to the end of our road and the rain was pouring, and I mean the biggest spots ever.
The smile on Reagan’s face was amazing SHE LOVED! rain hitting her and boy was it hitting her we were getting drenched I held her as we ran down the street as we got wetter, as I dashed down our path I felt my phone going off in my pocket, we reached the kitchen window I saw Mommy with her phone to her ear but we carried on to the back door.
As we got into the kitchen mommy was LHAO and we were litterally dripping wet through and Reagan was beaming like a cheshire cat, to her that was as much fun as it gets….
I know how hard it is for you right now being so close to your due date and wishing away the last few days of pregnancy but you need to stay strong and stay positive and it will all work out as we want it very soon.
Today was difficult in many ways not least because your heart and mind was set on at least having a sweep and crossing your\our fingers for Linc to arrive this weekend. Next the midwife we saw wasn’t who you were expecting which I know disappointed you plus she also had no idea of your history so had to scan read your notes while we sat there, and then for her to tell you he is back to back and not engaged was not what you wanted to here.
There are similarities between this pregnancy and your first but they are separate and completely different and things can and probably will change over the next few hours and days that you will have forgotten that today ever happened (until you read this back, sorry)
Nature will take it’s coarse and I believe whatever happens we will be fine I know you have this ideal, and I know it means a lot to you to have a natural birth and I believe that will happen I really do!
Love you lots
For a while now there were secret notes and messages being passed between Jamie’s friends and me about the arrangements for a baby shower but it all went quiet and I thought how disappointing if they didn’t do anything but because I was busy at work I couldn’t really plan anything myself.
I needn’t have worried Kerry texted me Monday afternoon and said can you make sure Jamie meets me at the coffee shop at the end of town tomorrow at 10:15….here are a few photo’s from yesterday:

I am not religious I don’t have a god I don’t consider myself lucky, quite the opposite actually! My life up to now has been a roller-coaster of ups and downs, right now there isn’t a person on this earth that has it better than me….I wish we had more money but would I be happier? Nope! Money is a necessity sure but it is not the reason you’re happy. I heard this today
“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.â€
That Dalai Lama chap is right we do think money is everything and it really isn’t, yes we have to work and earn money to live but we don’t need as much as we think we do but we kill ourselves trying to get it?
I try to live for today and never worry about tomorrow because tomorrow may never happen and if you worry about it it doesn’t change things and you may miss today because of it! No I don’t succeed always in calmly living in the present and enjoying what I have but I do try and most of the time I allow myself to be care free and enjoy the now.
There are people in the cemetery that would do it differently if they had the chance but that will never happen. They lived their lives their way and hopefully found happiness along the way. I guess in the happiness stakes I have succeeded twice? Would I swap what I have today to celebrate 14 years of marriage, not for a second. Things happen for a reason, I am grateful for my past because it brought me to where I am today. I made a promise never to forget, and I never will even though I didn’t visit the cemetery today….
We may not be wealthy, we will always get by but as for being happy No-one has it better than me!
We spent an hour playing at numerous things last night when I got home, while Mommy was upstairs pampering herself, it was an absolute joy to spend quality time with Reagan just messing about. One of our best games was building a lego tower because not only did it entail building the tower it also meant searching out every piece of lego we owned from under the sofa behind the TV and in the toybox. The toybox had to be emptied completely piece by piece to make sure we found every bit of lego and this meant Reagan got to play with toys she forgot she had, lost for all eternity at the bottom of the box.
Eventually we were satisfied we had every bit and completed the tower before Mommy returned to a living room that looked like a bomb had hit it but we were victorious as we had built the highest tower ever!
Strapped safely in and raring to go, she loves riding in the car with Mommy!
We worry a lot about Reagan’s eating habits and are very wary that we can make her a picky eater or just flat refuse to eat if we don’t make meal times fun and the food varied but over the last few days she has been extra fussy not eating much of what we put in front of her. Her tummy has been off and her poops have been a little runny so it could just be an upset tummy causing it so we’re not too bothered because if it is she will be fine in a couple of days, we just have to be patient. Our patience paid off tonight as Reagan devoured her sketti…
This video begins with Jamie talking to her mommy on the phone but is all about chatterbox Reagan walking in the garden…
