Hey Macb,

No Baby Yet?? It will all blur together soon as I have recently found out. The weather here is eventful at least. Check out this link below if you can, it shows some SUV 4x4 owners being schooled in the art of ice driving on hills. No one got hurt I guess, but what a bunch of idiots trying to get around in this kind of weather.

Here are some pictures of my daughter, Malisa. The first one is with my niece. The second one she is getting a hearing test. (She looks like a pilot from some scifi movie.) The third one is just her getting some lab work done.

BABY-UP-DATE

This morning we go to the Doctor's in Burriram for a check up and see how things are going:

If our dates are right the daughter was due to arrive on the 14th!! so that makes Bee 6 days late bless her

More news later, well I cant tell you I am pulling my hair out cos I shave it off lol

Edited January 20, 2007 by macb

[macb]

BABY-UP-DATE

Well we went into town about 1100h rs: Finally got into to see the Doctor!

When the wife first went to him in May last year to confirm positive after a home test she gave the dates 14th/15th April, at that time he worked the due date out as 14th January.

However he questioned the wife about the date she had given saying she gave wrong date and that if the 14th April then the due date is 27th January, she replied but I did tell you the 14th you have got the date wrong what can I do. (Now I wish I had hair to pull out) .

So he decided to do another scan all is on track and the wife and daughter are ok.

So we still awaiting

BABY UPDATE

We are still waiting:

My mate in the next village the doctor told her she is due 27th February?? However Andy rang this morning at 0650 hrs and announced his wife has had the baby at Huairat Hospital Mother and child okay. Baby weight 2.5 kilo so she was 1 month early ?????

Congrats to you both.

But they attended the Doctors yesterday and he said all okay come back 10 days, now I am bit concerned maybe for nothing. Cos he has changes our date from 14th to 27th this month. I am losing a bit of faith in this Doctor and will not rest till our baby born and all is okay

[phibunmike]

My mate in the next village the doctor told her she is due 27th February??

How lucky it wasn't the 29th - a year of labour

Congrats to all involved with the babies
