The Life of Matthew

We saw the doctor this morning and Mummy and Daddy were in for a bit of a shock. He had previously said that he would let me stay inside until Monday (21 Aug) but now he’s changed his mind and he wants me out tomorrow. I’m being evicted!
Although he did say that Mummy’s due date […]

… I’m still in here, but I promise I will let everyone know as soon as I arrive. Or rather Daddy will.
I thought I might come today, just to tease Daddy, as there’s an England football game on the telly, but it seems I’m not a teasing kind of boy (except to Mormor!)
Doctor’s appointment early […]

I’m not entirely sure I understand this and of course everything I hear is slightly muffled and I don’t really understand languages yet, but I think this is supposed to be funny. I started giving Mummy contractions again this morning and I’m doing it again now, but they don’t think I’m ever coming out. They’re […]

After all the excitement of yesterday I had hoped that today might mean that things were finally happening, but so far it’s just another day. Don’t even have any exciting pains to talk about. Mummy’s been walking around with me almost all day, she even went to work for my sake (!), but I haven’t […]

Oh dear, not even born yet and already in trouble! I gave Mummy 5 hours of regular contractions today, every twenty or so minutes and occasionally increasing in strength, and now I’ve stopped. Guess it was only false labour. I’m still squirming around but I’m not trying to fight my way out. Looks like I […]

Well…I’m still in Mummy. I notice that there are one or two different contractions in here but I’m not getting my hopes up. Mummy thinks that she may have started to dilate but again, that could be just wishful thinking. Having never done this before I’m not too sure what to expect when the time […]

Still inside Mummy’s tummy…
While Mummy and Daddy anxiously (and impatiently) await my arrival, I got my first piece of post today. Yes, a parcel addressed to me came to our house. But if they thought that was going to lure me out, they were wrong!
Not only am I the first person in our new house […]

I’m bored!
As I mentioned in my previous post I sould be coming out today but as I’ve obviously got time on my hands I thought I’d do some research on induction and natural methods of induction at that (I’ll leave medical methods for when I’m really late).
It didn’t take much research before I started finding […]

Today is supposed to be the big day - the day where I make my triumphant entrance into the world! Let the trumpets cheer, my due date is here! Only I’m not here yet and it doesn’t look like I’m going to be showing up any time soon. Mummy and Daddy are starting to get […]

Mummy keeps making such a fuss about how heavy her labour bag is, how it’s so small and yet weighs more than her Samsonite, that I thought I’d see what’s in it. The midwife gave us a list of things to bring to the hospital, most of the things are for me - ha ha.
Mummy […]
