Can't decide whether I am really excited, or disappointed that I didn't go into labour spontaneously (am 40+3, baby engaged for past 3 weeks)

Childcare sorted, bags packed-ish, freezer full. Can't decide whether to go and douse myself in clary sage or take some caullophyllum, or just chill and muck about with DS.

Irs all very weird.

oh how exciting!

me personally i would spend all day at the hairdressers/salon looking pretty for the big day. then i would get a naughty dinner like a chinese or kfc, a good film and some yummy chocolate. i would have a lovely bath and spend all evening in my dreamworld!

good luck

well have spent the afternoon pottering in the garden with my little boy.

and we are all going to go out for an early supper tonight to the tacky 70s style italian trattatoria round the corner that we went to the night before DS was born and the night before our wedding.

lulu if my dh could do a pic like yours i'd let him. but i fear it would come out a bit more martin parr

but it is still weirdy weirdness

chill out and much around with ds - might be a while before you can do that again.

Mind you - I cleaned the house from top to bottom the day before my elective c-section (withno2) only cause I figured it could go for a few weeks before needing doing and knowing I did not really have anyone to do it for me.
