Well, again, I’d like to say that things have started happening and the baby is here, but unfortunately, Jack still hasn’t arrived. He's now 8 days overdue the due-date of the 21st January.
If it were a parcel being delivered, then you can get a tracking number or an estimated delivery date. Even worse, a confirmation that the sender had sent it! But these babies don’t seem to come with any in-built tracking device, or sender confirmation; I suppose we do actually know which ‘depot’ it’s at, and that it’s actually there, as it’s been there a while now, but it’s not clear as to when it’s allowed to be collected.
Maybe he’s in quarantine?
Maybe he has to pass stringent in-bound rules or he's liable to import duty?
Or, maybe, its all just taking a little bit longer than the date that we were told by the doctors and midwives. (This is much more likely the truth and we’re simply guilty of being part of today’s 'I-want-it-now' culture, where patience was forgotten about.)
Either way, he ain’t here!
Claire is getting on ok though – she’s quite bored at home by herself, which I can understand. She’s been off work now for over a month, since 24th December, and getting bigger steadily, whilst the ability and desire to actually do 'stuff' is almost directly in-proportional! Besides... daytime TV is rubbish, as there’s only the like of ‘Quincy’ and ‘Diagnosis Murder’ to keep you occupied, which is great as student-TV, but to have to watch it day in, day out, not knowing when you’re able to stop!!
Needless to say, once baby Jack does make his grand debut into the world, I'll post news and a photo or two on here.
