The Johnson Family

Well, while I have a spare 10 minutes I thought I would do a blog update. Life is just so busy and full on now its hard to find the time! Well little Samuel is now 19 days old!

That morning I went and saw my obstetrician and she confirmed that bubs had not engaged anymore since last week and was still only 3/5 down. She did an internal and told me that my cervix had not softened at all. So much for Raspberry Leaf Tablet taking for a month! On the way home I phoned my sister and told her what was happening. She told me how she went into labour the same day she took some castor oil. I was umming and arring over taking it but decided to give it a go. I was lucky enough not to be at a really uncomfortable stage of the pregnancy but thought if it could make it happen sooner then later, I was all ...
