Today March 8, 2007
Today I:
Went back to bed. Mark very kindly (particularly considering he had to be at work on time today) offered to take Finn to childcare and Finn very obligingly got up early and behaved cooperatively while getting ready, so I was able to hop back into bed by 7.30 and sleep for another couple of hours.
Coloured my hair. I have a bit of thing about the thought of being in the maternity ward with grey hair (echoes of the trauma I experienced in primary school because I had an older mum than everyone else …)so I figured today was a good day to deal with that.
Will pack my bag for hospital. I think it’s probably time I got my head around that…
And there was something else I was going to do … It’ll come to me …
Surely these days you won’t be alone in the maternity ward. I keep coming across women having babies at “advanced” ages. And it’s not that far away now, is it?
It’s entirely possible that I won’t be the only older mum there, but that doesn’t change the fact that I had no intention of having grey hair for this event. There’s nothing rational about it all.
I’d be doing my hair too. After all it’s good to look nice when you have visitors, especially those you haven’t met yet
Wow…another baby, that’s amazing and fantastic. Good on you. Grey hairs be damned. I was so happy for all or you when I logged on one day and heard the news. Good luck with it all over the next week or so.
That should have said, “all OF you”, obviously!
