Call the Midwife!

So, as you've been following the prenatal progress, you've probably begun to wonder "Where is that baby?"

A question I've been wondering myself.  Today is over a week past the ultrasound due date, but no signs of a baby yet.

We've been booked into St. Thomas Hospital on Monday April 28th for induction of labour. St. Thomas' has 6,800 babies delivered each year (around 18 each day) and is one of the best hospitals in London, it is also located across the Thames from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben so the view from the maternity wing is pretty impressive.  St. Thomas is a large teaching hospital and has been providing healthcare since the 12th Century.  St. Thomas is where Florence Nightingale established a nursing school, and it is one of the most famous london hospitals, it is part of the Guy's and King's Hospital trust.

Of course it is a tentative booking, we will see how busy they are and it may take a few days, but I am relieved to have an actual date as the expecting was getting to be a bit tedious.

Will keep you updated!
