I'm having a baby TODAY!

I am wide awake because I have to be at the hospital at 7am, because I am having a baby today Grin

This is the end of a long road of fertility tests and IVF, so it feels surreal that she will finally be here in the morning (caesarean, hence why I know she'll be here soon!) I am so excited.

How am I meant to be able to sleep?! I feel like a small child at Christmas!

Argh!

No point to this post, I just wanted to share my excitement because I am bursting Grin

Oh, be prepared for your heart to melt!!! There is nothing on this earth like meeting your baby for the first time. I hope it all goes well and you are snuggling your gorgeous baby soon.

Thank you Grin I can't wait for the baby snuggles, there isn't much that can beat newborn baby cuddles!

Well snuggle yourself down and count sheep. Thos may be the last 5-6 hr stretch you'll get for a while. BUT it's all worth it.

DramaAlpaca · 03/05/2019 00:42

Your post made me smile, your excitement is coming across loud & clear Grin

Hope all goes well tomorrow. Best of luck Shamrock

Is that you Meghan?!
Lol, best of luck, meeting your baby is the absolute best thing in your whole life I reckon

ConstanzaAndSalieri · 03/05/2019 00:44

Sleep! I mean, obviously that’s impossible but sleep! And I hope all goes smoothly in just a few hours time!

Happy Birthday Baby Bumble!
It took some sort of NHS sleeping tablet to knock me out for a couple of hours before my section so I know how it feels. Rest up, read a book and doze a bit. Life changes forever today :)

bumblebee1987 · 03/05/2019 00:55

Haha, I'm not Meghan, I promise! Wish I was though Grin

My husband is snoring away next to me, and my baby is currently attempting to escape I think, she's such a wriggler Grin This is your eviction notice little one!

Thank you for all of the wishes, I will update you all later on today!

Aww lovely! Smile

Try to get at least a little sleep. You're going to need reserves!

ladyme · 03/05/2019 01:40

Aw love! I remember that feeling, I can't say it's all been easy but definitely the best thing I ever did!

How exciting! It's a wonderful feeling Flowers

weegiemum · 03/05/2019 02:39

Wishing you well, it'll be a very exciting day. I've welcomed 3 little people into the world and there is nothing like it, I thought my wedding day was the best but my babies birthdays were so much more. I hope it's all you dream it will be xx

PH03b3 · 03/05/2019 03:09

OMG I'm so jealous Grin enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Try to get some sleep otherwise you won't have the energy to enjoy her as much tomorrow.
