My daddy asked me if he could post a little letter on my blog, and I have given him permission.
We are having a baby very soon. Please read his letter:
Dear friends,
I know many of you are probably wondering if we have had our baby yet. Babies go well overdue in Melody's family, so we are not surprised he has not come yet. If you are on our facebook then you will get an announcement there first. This will be followed by an email announcement later the same day.
After our first experience of being parents we have some preferences for this time around.
1) We will happily receive visitors at the hospital. The hospital is Box Hill Hospital on Nelson Rd in Box Hill. Their visiting hours are 2-4pm and 6-8pm. Please wait for an announcement before arranging a visit. I would prefer it if you could SMS me a time when you would like to visit. Please then wait for confirmation that the time is ok, so we don't have too many visitors at once.
2) Once we get home, we would like to wait a little while before receiving any further visitors, to allow complete recovery time for Mum, baby and the rest of the family. I expect this to be approximately two weeks, but we shall see. After that, you could SMS again to find out if we are receiving visitors.
My number is 0422 181 421. Please include your name in the message so I know who sent it! Please do choose to send a text message instead of calling as it is far less obtrusive when people are likely to be very tired or asleep.
Looking forward to announcing our good news and to seeing you.
God Bless,
Paul, Melody, Abigail and little one arriving no later than January 19th.
