Everyone needs a good friend!

Other than us, the first person to find out about this quite spectacular news was one Kellie-anne, via the ever-reliable inter-continental SMS.

Kell was wonderful - booking us a spot in Melbourne's best maternity hospital. She also tried for Melbourne's best female obstetrician. However, Nai was not already a patient of her's - so we had to go with Melbounre's best male obstetrician. (We aren't sexist, after all!) This was all done overnight our time - and by the next morning Aunty Kell greeted us with the (quite unexpected) news that she had it all sorted! Lucky - coz if we'd waited until we'd returned, we probably wouldn't have got in anywhere.

Lessons for others:

1. If you are planning to get pregnant - sort out your obstetrician beforehand. (They may also give you dietary and fitness tips to aid in you getting pregnant).
2. Have the number of the hospital you wish to go to there beside the bed. If you think it's a particularly good (and well-timed) shag, ring them post coitally.
