Grace Ann Dillon

After a pretty traumatic delivery we finally have Grace with us. The minute it took to revive her after the cord was wrapped around her neck twice was the longest ever. I have to praise my amazing husband who kept his cool and also his wife together. Made me realise even more what an amazing man of God Cassy is cos I immediately lost it and he prayed.

To me she is the most beautiful baby in the whole world (sorry to all the other babies out there!!). It's amazing how even when you have been kept up until 3am trying to desperately get her to sleep a windy smile just takes all that memory away.

I know I am gushing, call it hormones or maybe my life is being changed forever.

Patience

Have realised that I am not a patient person at all. Waiting for our lovely baby girl is slowly driving me crazy. Made me realise that I like to have every thing in order and hate not knowing. Think she is already teaching me to be patient.

After 2 days of being at home and cleaning every thing around me I have come back to work this morning. At least being around people keeps me busy and I really have missed the people I work with even though its only been 2 days. This afternoon Andrea is taking her kids swimming so I am going, maybe that will help her come out.

Update

Just letting you know that the baby still hasn't arrived. Baby Dillon is due tomorrow, so have decided she is either on English time or Malaysian time. If English on time if Malaysian will take her time!!

Happy Easter

Back to work today after 2 days off. Funny we get a public holiday for Mohammads birthday and then the next day is public holiday for Good Friday!! Missing the Easter eggs this year, could do with eating all that chocolate.

Well tomorrow I am 40 weeks pregnant and still no sign of baby. I think she is stubborn like her mum and will only do things in her own time. All though I was touched by a comment Jo made the other day about making the most of this time just being me and her.

Happy Easter every one.

Future

Watched a video that dad had done yesterday of the recent trip to France. Was cool to see all familiar places and people again. What really touched me was a collage that the youth in Herne Bay did many years ago is still kept by the french youth.

Been thinking a lot about England, France and the future at the moment. Makes a change from thinking and talking about the baby all the time. Curious how the next few years are gonna go really. There is a sense where both Cassy and I want to go back to England at some point but not sure how it's going to happen. Just got to trust God and look out for opportunities I guess.

Any suggestions??

After drinking loads of raspberry leaf tea, walking around shopping malls, eating pineapple and dragon fruit still no sign of baby coming...

Any suggestions?

Time Out

So still no sign of baby. Although I am not looking forward to the process of her coming out I am however excited about seeing her and having the time off from work.

I am so looking forward to the 2 months break, although I know it will be filled with other things and not exactly a holiday. I just think I need a break from the environment I am in at the moment.
