The Reluctant Grandchild!

I've been "down south" for almost a fortnight now and still no sign of junior. There was a false alarm last Saturday night and the maternity unit was phoned, I went to bed about 11pm, got up about 6.30 the following morning, collecting two grandchildren on the way down to the kitchen, made a cup of coffee and made my way to the living room and immediately was suspicious. What should be lying on the floor but the "hospital"bag! Just then mother-to-be appeared and said that "everything" had stopped just after midnight and she had fallen asleep till 3am on the settee. Father-to-be suggested she phone the hospital again and explain what had/had not happened!
A routine visit to the ante natal clinic followed on the Tuesday and words like "examination" and "sweep" were mentioned. Husband suspects this appointment might be at the council cleansing department.
So, I'm still here and, like everybody in this house, am still waiting.

You are sure it's definitely a baby and not wind?
