No news...
Nup, no news on Day 4 of being overdue. Had a scan yesterday and they predicted a HUGE baby (try 10 lb 10 for size). We think this is ridiculous, as does the midwife, as I'm able to walk and can even cut my own toenails BUT it does mean we need to see a specialist to discuss the birth plan (yet again. We were offered an elective caesar at 39 weeks and declined!). So no idea when this will be or if labour will start before hand or anything else, basically!
Friends have been fantastic, coming around to 'distract' Frank and I. Thank you. School holidays mean all our usual haunts are crazily busy and we're better off staying close to home anyway. Dougal is off work from tomorrow (YAY!!!!!!).
It sounds like it's hailing! A cold day, that's for sure.
I started compiling a list of Frank's words the other day but it's already out of date.
Frank’s Words
At 18 months, Frank a lot to say and is starting to put words together e.g. ‘Car Mum please’. Some words come and go but these are his most common ones. He’s also really good at copying what other people say.

What a vast vocabulary in only a year and a half, Frankie! Imagine how many words you'll know by the time you get to my age... Hope you don't have to wait too much longer for your new baby brother or sister. See you soon.
'bout time I spoke up.I only know about 10 more words than Frank so will keep this short.
Libby, mid-day tomorrow ( Thurs) & a girl.
What a wee star Frank is! Sounds very communicative for a male.
I'll be sending positive thoughts out into the universe for you ('small/medium sized baby, easy birth').
lots of luv
cuzzie e
Love that - communicative for a male...hmm.
Thursday, still no news, off to see Midwife at 11.30am and maybe some news on specialist appointment
At 18 months my child can say 'oof', but this seems to be enough for most social situations.
Oh, and 10lb 10oz!!? I would have taken the cesarean....
C'mon Libby!
There are a lot more words than this and Pappy, Granny Ro and Grand'marg are right up there! The initial little stream of words has become a stream, a torrent and now a flood - and what's more he knows all of what we say too! Scary stuff and a clever boy.
