Sprog Day 2: The Sequel, Brook Ward, Ipswich Hospital - 28th March 2012
After one false alarm, it's time for the real thing to kick off with "Sprog 2: The Sproggening", down on the Brook Ward at Ipswich Hospital. After Fred's been dropped off at Amelia's house we get to Ipswich at around midnight. There's then a bit of negotiation as it's still unclear whether anything major has started, but eventually we get to stay in to see what happens. Things properly get rolling at around 3am, and by 5.30am it's all done. Isobel and Sprog #2 are dispatched to the maternity ward whilst Nosher gets to sleep in the car park for an hour or two, before returning home for a few hours more sleep. Then it's back for 4pm to pick everyone up.
