Baby update

Yesterday I popped into a new hospital here in Kollegal. I didn't even know it existed. I asked if they did obstetrics and was told no but when I showed my baby bump they suddenly knew what I was talking about and was shown where to go. I now have a lovely OB who speaks good English. She assured me that the hospital is equipped to handle any complications of pregnancy if they arise. The thing I am most happy about is that I want a home birth and she is happy to come to the house if baby comes quickly. My babies do come quick and I would like to remain at home but at least I know there is a hospital not far should the need arise. It's actually only about a 5min walk away. So all in all I am feeling really good about the baby side of things here.

I will have a scan next week which will be interesting. I feel quite huge for this stage of pregnancy and have wondered if there may be another baby hiding in there somewhere. Even the OB thinks I felt large for 19weeks. It could just be how the baby is positioned but will be interesting to see. Next week I will be half way there.

So I guess if we are going to be here in India for the birth, I need to start thinking about getting a few things together for the baby. We have been sent a cute little NZ top from my friend in NZ and that is the only clothing I have so far :) I also have a baby blanket that my friend made for Son 3. It's like starting all over again. I am thinking a portable cot will be the way to go in case we need to move in Feb. I just want the bare minimum of stuff, no need for all the extra palaver.

I am now really looking forward to the arrival of this wee little bubs, I love all the kicking and moving he/she is doing. I love you my baby.
