What’s the job @Glen? How exciting! Are you thinking it’s the big day @Ellie?

Shriek · 30/11/2018 02:52

Oh ranger exciting ! Your adrenalin will get you through, worry about whether they offer it to you after!!! Good luck for tomorrow!

Shriek · 30/11/2018 02:53

Hi again wrangler

I received 'approval'

Elllicam · 30/11/2018 02:54

I’m not sure, I’ve never gone into labour before Shock, this is my 4th baby but I’ve had 2 inductions and 1 csection. It would be interesting Smile.

Shriek · 30/11/2018 02:55

ellicam beginnings? Do you think? It this your first? Maybe you will be a DM today! This is very exciting Smile

Kissel · 30/11/2018 02:55

Always nice to try something new!

Shriek · 30/11/2018 02:56

X-posted. So your first time! Wooo!

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 30/11/2018 02:57

I did wonder, Shriek, but I didn't want to pry.

I'll stand that nappy down, then Wink

mommybear1 · 30/11/2018 02:58

Hi I'm up - with 13 month old PFB in hospital (he's having tests for ongoing health issues) he's very unsettled so I'm wide awake.

Bloodybridget · 30/11/2018 03:00

I'm still awake . . Good luck to job-seekers, and end-of-pregnancyers, commiserations to sick-child-carers and insomniacs.

Shriek · 30/11/2018 03:08

It was good to know it was there just in case though, wrangler felt like I had a great back up option there, stand down the nappy now! Grin

Welcome Bridget what will you be doing to wrestle yourself back to sleep?

Oh bear sorry to hear that. I have spent too many nights in hospital worried over DC, I hope you are ok, and that your db will be mending very soon Bear for db and Flowers for you

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 30/11/2018 03:08

Well said, bridget.

Nothing at all done here yet, Shriek, unless you count the purchase of sprout flavour crisps for the DCs to try.

Shriek · 30/11/2018 03:10

Ha ha! I do! Absolutely... All vital preps!

Shriek · 30/11/2018 03:12

Omg! No! Just realised, no way, sprout flavoured? Why would you need to test them, surely you know the answer to that one? Even I dont fancy the sound of sprout flavoured crisps and I love my Christmas sprouts.Grin. do they make you fatty too

JontyDoggle37 · 30/11/2018 03:14

Joining the awake club. Been awake since midnight. So far I’ve watched an episode of masterchef, read a lot of Facebook, sorted out the finances, paid the credit card, and am now contemplating what to do next. Have just had a slice of toast with peanut butter and a cup of tea in an attempt to make myself sleepy...

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 30/11/2018 03:16

You must be very relieved it's over, Shriek, and successfully. I hope you sleep better from now on - though it doesn't look like it, based on tonight!

I could rent that nuclear nappy out to anyone needing to wreak revenge, couldn't I?! I might hold on to it. (Nooooooooo!)

HeartStrings · 30/11/2018 03:22

Yes I'm awake! Currently suffering from a UTI and can't stop getting up and down to go to the toilet 😢
Any advice on how to stop this fast so I can sleep. GP in the morning for me I think

Shriek · 30/11/2018 03:29

Good luck all, hoping the cramps become natural labour! And out of hospital soon for you and 18 mth DT (?toddler?)

Hope you manage to get some more sleep tonight, or just some!

All my stuff is done now, I'm off to bed...goodnight all x

HistoriaTrixie · 30/11/2018 03:30

Water and ibuprofen. Especially water - drink it until you think you can't any more and then have a small juice glass more. It'll dilute the wee so it's not as stingy.

Eminybob · 30/11/2018 03:36

I’m an insomniac, but since Ds2 was born a week ago, I’ve been able to fall asleep instantly the minute I’ve put him down after a feed. Not tonight, insomnia has returned and ds is sound asleep next to me while I’m wide awake Sad

ElfrideSwancourt · 30/11/2018 03:43

I'm awake- went to bed v early as was completely shattered from v busy week but have been up since 2.

Trying to get the motivation to leave MN and clean the kitchen.

mommybear1 · 30/11/2018 04:08

Thanks @Shriek
