Re: Alvin's First Bath: But What's on the Left Wrist?

I can safely report to all that the GMT was safely removed before going near the bath.
I had the GMT on during the birth also. The 2nd time zone was being monitored so as to make those all important phone calls back to Australia from Denmark at the appropriate hour. I also used the chronograph for timing the gaps between Anja's contractions, however as the labour went on & the contractions became closer i think a chrono with a flyback action would have been more handy.
Thanks for all the good wishes - Darren
