I made a thing for my niece, who is due in a little over four weeks now.

Chel had to see an anaesthetist last week and had an endoscopy - a little camera up her nose to check her airway, as a precaution because they were concerned about her cleft palate repair and deviated septum in the event of a c-section; she saw the top consultant, who was brilliant with her (unusually, he'd actually taken account of the word 'autistic' all over her notes). The outcome: her airway is very small, but could be managed in a pinch. She is hoping, though, for a water birth; the midwives were reluctant, muttering about risk assessments, so the consultant did the assessment on the spot and wrote it on her notes! So she is now content.

Man, I have missed a lot over the last year, for which I am sorry--I just went back and read through your "family" tag, because I had a double-take when I saw it was Chelsea having a baby already! O_o She is very lucky to have such a loving and supporting family around her to help her through this.

I hope the birth goes smoothly and that Chelsea and her baby are in good health after. *hug* Also that thing you made is lovely!

Uh...yeah. I'm very out of touch with everyone too!

I still can't believe she's having a baby. She is a baby! She's 19 but in my head she's still 9. But then I see the great big bump - at 34 weeks the midwife said she was measuring nearer to 36 and asked if she'd packed her bag yet...

36 weeks this Tuesday. Not long now.

The bear ended up I think slightly lopsided, but aside from that I think it worked out! I was ages sewing on all those beads to spell out the name.
