Good timing...

Lorraine ate an entire pineapple on Wednesday in an attempt to 'get things moving'. Boy did it.

On Wednesday night, she thought things had started - causing daddy a little sleeplessness. Everything calmed down though and by Thursday morning there wasn't anything happening.

I went to work as normal, and after a meeting had overrun, I got a call at 12.30 from Lorraine saying that she didn't think it was anything - the pineapples had given her indigestion.

I said I'd rather come home anyway, which was a good thing as by the time I'd got home, the contractions were 6 mins apart!

We carefully drove to the hospital, and went into Triage where they duiscovered that Lorraine was 7-8cm dilated!

We arrived at the hospital at 2.30, and Baby andrew was born at 5.22 that afternoon, weighing 6lbs 6oz (2.9kgs).

A wee smasher.
