I didnt believe you were coming on your due date and knew we had plans at 930 and wanted you to hold off so i could see your cousins from Tasmania today. |

![]() We packed the hospital stuff in the car just incase and headed off to Nanna and Nonnos to meet them, arriving at around 830. I messaged Elle to let her know I was feeling niggles. | ![]() As we sat at there house the the cramps progressively got worse and we began to time them, they were going for 1 minute for every 5 minutes so we called the hospital and they said to come in and check the progress. | ![]() We had one last goodbye cuddle with our 1yo and off we went the drive took us an hour and we arrived at 1030. |
![]() They checked me out and werent sure how fast you would progress so they held off putting in my antibiotic iv till 1130 (it was very uncomfortable) | ![]() | ![]() |
