No, not as yet. But we are getting very close. Its about this time in the pregnancy that you look back at the last nine months and wonder how it has gone so quickly. This has been by far the quickest, and we have done all the normal things we do when having a baby like purchase and move house, so nothing abnormal there…

The girls are excited, Tally enjoys just sitting with me and talking to the baby, giving my belly a rub. She likes to tell me all the things she is going to help with like bathing and rocking and putting the cream on. This conversation usually ends up in a fight with Maisie stating that SHE will be doing the cream and then Alice saying “NO – ME TURN”. Things are about to get interesting…

Im not “over” being pregnant as yet – although I am pretty close to it. We have a name (finally) and I can let you know that it wont be “I Dont Know Stinky Butt Whitbourn” as the girls had picked out for us. Bedroom is ready to go, the clothes are in the cupboard and the bags are packed for the hospital (after a midnight trip last week), so anytime after Monday this baby can make its way into the world.

The weird thing is becoming a family of 6! 5 just seemed normal, and this is the biggest age gap we have had with any of the girls, so things are about to get a little crazy – but I spose thats just the way it goes.

This baby will be Grandbaby #14 on the Whitbourn Family Tree and Grandbaby #4 on the Shanahan/Stevens Family Tree. Maybe it will be born on November 4…
