Default Family Rat quick update
Hi guys
Well, after another consultation with the community midwife, Maggie was again referred to Raigmore Hospital, so spent most of the day in Inverness and not working.
Anyway, she's been kept in overnight and tomorrow morning at 6 am (gawd she's so gonna love having to get out of bed at that time of the day ) they are gonna start inducing her. So fingers crossed it won't drag on (got my veg boxes to deliver on Friday !) and that by this time tomorrow I'll have another beautiful wee girl to add to the family.

Thanks for the update Rat. Hope all goes smoothly.

Best wishes to Mrs Rat (and don't forget a card or balloon for the new big sister - it goes a long way to the sisterly bonding thing)

Oh! All my very best to Mrs R! An exciting but stressful time

Here's to Baby Niamh making a quick and uncomplicated arrival!

I'm sure you'll have better things to do (!) but all us Grapes will be on tenterhooks waiting for news tomorrow!

Best wishes & good luck to Mrs Rat, hope all goes smoothly
I was induced with #1 - awful - took 5 days, and #3 - easy peasy, took 5˝ hours!! Hope hers is an easy-peasy

As for your deliveries, don't you have a plan B??!!

There's surely not a decent human being in the universe who would quibble if their veg box arrived a little late but included a note saying 'I was letting my wife dislocate all the bones in my hand at a crucial moment'!?

Oh, Best wishes to you all for tomorrow - Here's to an easy delivery (for all concerned) I might add, that includes a load of us Grapes too.

Best wishes, we'll be thinking of you
