Holding Our Breath

Last night and this morning have been extremely strange. Based on our (perhaps misguided) assumption that Amelia would have gained weight at this morning's weigh-in and that we would therefore begin rooming in tonight, last night was our last as an 'independent' couple as the next time we'll sleep here, Amy will be with us.

This morning Anna had butterflies in her stomach and could hardly eat any breakfast she was so nervous. Amelia will be weighed between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning and if she's gained weight, we have a new home for a few days. I feel like I probably would if Anna's waters had just broken for a 'normal' birth. Excited and scared because we're leaving the house as a couple and will come back as parents.

There's a bag packed in the hall and I have to take the car seat with me. I have to confess to being quite emotional today so I'll apologise in advance if my posts over the next couple of days are a little 'Hollywood'. People at the hospital who are off next week are beginning to say goodbye. It's all very, very peculiar. I'll be able to get back online just before lunchtime if you want to know this morning's results.
