SIL is currently in labour. Was 5cms at midday! I reckon delivery at 6.30pm - what do you think?

Humour me! I'm so excited

How exciting! I'd say you were about on target with that guess! Is it her 1st? If so I'm going to guess 7.15pm
Good luck

(McD is telling the truth, she can't concentrate on anything, but at least she has the excuse of becoming an aunty, I don't have any excuse)

Very agitated, excited, preoccupied. Talking to my mum on the computer who is the same.

TBH we are more concerned about my brother (SIL is very capable and will be fine I am sure ) who is a bit, no very, hospital phobic!!! He's wasn't sure he was going to be able to be present but so far he's hung in there with her.

good on him! sounds like he is being able to focus more on his wife than his phobia..

Hope is all goes well, am going out for the evening but will check in when I get back... I am sure she will have had the baby by the time I get back

Could you ask her to hurry up as I'm going out soon and would like some news before I go

Hope all is going well....

I reckon she's already had it but that they are too overwhelmed to make phone calls.
Congratulations Auntie McD.

Go McBro!

(please don't pee your pants though)

It is an amazing thing when your sibling becomes a parent

How is DH coping with your peeing-panted-ness ?

I haven't shared that information with him yet

Still no baby or no phone call!

As I was writing the phone rang!

Baby boy James 7lb 4oz born just before 9pm and he stayed! I can't believe my brother stayed. He said he couldn't leave and it was amazing! I am so proud of them both!

Yay McDreamy is an Auntie!
