Oh god, DD1 has a massive napper (Look at that thing, it's like Sputnik!!). They said that's why she was late to sit up, stand up, and walk! Obviously hauling it around was too much effort! Weird, as I have a "normal" sized head (preens) and DP is rocking the pin head look.

sfx, the head bit was fine. I think cos I knew it was all nearly over it was strangely not too sore. Felt kind of euphoric actually. Maybe that was the lovely G&A... Grin

moshi, I kept trying to think of the hypnobirthing CD, but then the pain (excuse me, discomfort) of the contractions took over. I did keep trying to think of them as positive things though that were taking me towards meeting my baby. Hope you have escaped Embassy hell!!

monkey, your DH does sound funny, get him on YouTube, he'll be an Internet sensation.

Having slept all day again we have literally just got into bed and Kate is waking up. How does she do it!?! Smile

Good luck tomorrow, monkey :)

Raaar to US red tape - my friend got sent home from the US about 3 hours after landing due to a tiny error meaning her visa got refused. Total crap as it means she can't reapply for a new one for X number of years...

peach fab rave birth report. I had a similar experience to your first with DS, but have been advised to have a ELCS next time. How I wish I could have a birth like you did with Kate. She sounds like a lovely wee lass, enjoy :)

Tis ok wheely I have tits like a Scream mask, a fathead would be preferable. I'm on Headband Watch, need a challenge seen as Cockwatch was such a letdown.

Fellow fathead reporting for duty!

Wheelybug · 21/11/2011 22:47

Good luck tomorrow monkey !

Are you calling me a fathead pinhead Fanny ? This fathead would prefer black but pink and black would be fine. I used to hate pink but almost 7 years of dds has desensitised me and much of my running stuff has pink tinges.

My friend the same Moshi - she's waiting for medicals before visas issued for her and kids. Very long drawn out process and like you, has 4 DC all under 10. Don't know how she does it. You'll be there soon enough, sprinting up those hills and sending us photos of sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf. Envy. I aim to do a SF trip with my friend next year (only £100 for my flight Grin).

wheely I'm a peahead which is as bad as a fathead. My 3 year old nephew's head measured more than mine! Blush And shoulders like a coat hanger too. I'll aim to get you a black one but they did have pink and black too, what would you prefer Madam? Anyone else want one while I'm there. I'll pick one up for DrNo too I think.

monkey good luck tomorrow

monkeyLFDTwench · 21/11/2011 22:20

Oh wheely ds2 has a massive head and skinny body - he looks like a lollipop. When I had my scans his head circumference was literally off the scale and led them to believe he would be 12 lbs + which was a bit scary. He was only 9 lbs 10 oz after all that panic!

Dreading tomorrow's hospital trip with him, I have to get to Watford for 10 am after dropping ds1 at school in the opposite direction. For those unaware Watford is officially the arsehole of the universe with a ring road that makes me scream with rage and frustration at the best of times.

orangeLFDThead · 21/11/2011 22:19

wheely stupid hv referred ds2 to the hosital when he was little as he had a small head [scared us half to death]. As soon as we got there consultant took one look at me, measured my head and said I am not even on a centile line for head size as it so small so it was obviously hereditary and immediatedly discharged him.It was a very strange hospital appointment.

Wheelybug · 21/11/2011 22:09

Thanks fanny - hmm guess I'd be m/l probably. I have a big head !! Dd2 follows suit and the last time she was measures was 2nd centile for height, 9th for weight and 75th for head circumference (and that didn't include her mophead). It's amazing she can balance really Grin

Great time improvements rhet you must be chuffed. Do you put it down to the HRM training ? I have never used mine... Perhaps I should find it.

orangeLFDThead · 21/11/2011 22:09

peach thats sounds a fantastic birth, very positive. You did so well. I love race birth reports.
Well done on your run rhet
Grin monkey your husband sounds funny. I keep trying to talk dh into shredding or even better running but he won't have any of it. I think he would be a very good runner, very long legs. He power walks 4 miles to work 3 times a week and does it in just under 45 mins which is good going for walking.
Just got back from meeting for work where there was lots of scrumptious cakes that I could not resist, doh.

MoshiMoshi · 21/11/2011 22:03

Visa being processed fanny. Which is good as I am losing the will to live. This relocation process is killing me.

RunningAllDay · 21/11/2011 21:50

Thanks rhet, will purchase tomorrow.

rhetorician · 21/11/2011 21:50

only another minute or so to go and I'll be logging paces like your really really slow runs, fanny

Ladies all the way up the climb of The Orme yesterday, I kept thinking "ohhh if I had that Star Trek Garmin, I'd know if I was about to finish this fucking hill". Grin
