Dad packs the car so we can drive back to Brisbane from out near Uki... at 5:00am...
Mum is very excited... Waters are gone but not really any contractions yet...
We get home after monitoring at the hospital and Mum decides to finally put all the clean baby washing away. Better have a late nesting urge than never....
