From behind the blue curtain

Concern over placenta under performing
Surrounded by blue paper curtains feeling very alone
this was not part of the plan for 33 weeks. In fact not for another month!

Thanks for stopping by ... the high speed summary is that I started this in the days after having IVF in Southern Spain and then finding myself pregnant at the age of 47.
Long awaited and tenaciously grasped onto in spite of me being "geriatric" and "high risk" and The Spaniard (as the small soul was known having been made in a test tube in Spain) being classified as "high value". We were told (endlessly) of the risks and were only too aware of the dangers the pregnancy faced.
This is our journey.

Hello Ellie, Roy and The Spaniard
Hope all well – everything crossed for you…… Just heard today that a nurse (veterinary) who trained with us and with whom I have kept in touch had her IVF baby 2 days ago….. was due 11th Jan. She tells me early arrivals are common with your miracle babies…….
Would you like me to come down to see you? Thinking of you constantly…. And i got the Viv Fuchs book….. Thank you darling.xxx Angie & Brian
Ellie …. I am attempting to rejoin Twitter (didn’t know I had ever joined) to let you know I am holding your hand…… My address seems to be @RuthieMa . I don’t seem to be able to get back toy your Twitter page…… So sorry…… Hope you get some sleep … or even better still, the Spaniard awakens from his slumbers and keeps you awake…..!!! I do seem to recall (all those years ago) that as our babes become more squashed they slow down….. Thinking of you all xxxx.
