Schindler's lift

We've been to Cadiz to see our girl Polly and her hub, Alex. Both of whom are splendid. She got fed up with having to lug her pregnant body around so she's gone for a lovely lie down with lots of other pregnant ladies. On the sixth floor. So we have become regular users of Schindler's lift. And even though our Spanish is very groggy we were always welcomed by every other lift user with '¡Hola!' 'Buenos Dias!' 'tenga un buen dia' And this was the same for every person, entering or exiting and x 20 sometimes. By the time we got to Pol, we needed a lie down too. What a lovely, friendly place.










OK, it's a bit more serious than that, Polly's waters broke at 28 weeks and the nearest hospital for pre term babies was in Cadiz. But Polly is well now and the contractions have stopped and the baby is kicking like a kangaroo! We even saw a scan.

















The docs, including Doc Fernando, are very pleased with Pol and want her to have another three weeks of bed rest in hospital and plan to induce the baby at the end of May or beginning of June when the baby will be 34 weeks + 5 days. ( I think). So still premature, but a lot more developed and able to cope with anything else life wants to throw at her/him.








Alex found a tremendous apartment near the hospital, which we were able to stay in.








With the most amazing view, and after each sunset we felt more and more reassured that 'everything is going to be alright'.
