Congratulations new Mums. Wishing the three Mums in the home stretch good luck.

Dibbydab · 08/09/2010 09:31

Come on you last few stragglers, I know we've had some giggles on these loooooong antenatal threads, but you need to give in now and come over to the post natal board and one of you has to have a baby with the birthday 08.09.10.

chickieno1 · 08/09/2010 13:55

lily, vita, and foxy good luck with the sweeps, acupuncture, pineapple and def the wine!

hang in there, waiting to hear your news

LilyPad72 · 08/09/2010 16:47

Good luck with induction foxy for Friday - hope when it comes to it you don't need it. I've just been booked in for Monday for mine - am hoping that the act of booking it will give junior the hint to GET A MOVE ON!

Would love today's date as a birthday - but if nothing happened so far, then I reckon probably too late for me... Vita's a bit quiet today - so maybe good for her?

Have just thought of a bad thing though - 9/11 is really NOT a birthday I'd wish on anybody - may have to keep legs crossed on Saturday.

foxyjbro99 · 08/09/2010 17:23

Lily I know!! I'm hoping if it gets to induction day it will be born on induction day, because if it's born the next day it will be born on 9/11!! :(

Good news, ladies! William Arthur was born last night at 9:15pm weighing 10lb 1oz. Started regularly contracting around 6pm, arrived at hospital 7:40 fully dilated! Once my waters broke just after 9 I started pushing and there he was. Fortunately though it was so quick I didn't tear. Am now overwhelmed by how blessed I am. William and I are both doing really well. Am using DH's iPhone in hospital so will catch up when I get home. Sending all my good wishes and labouring vibes to Foxy and Lily, and thanks for letting me queue jump!

Congratulations foxy and vita. OMG I can't believe we are down to one. Think its my hormones but am very sad our antenatal thread is coming to an end. When I think of everything we've all been through.

Come on lily! I feel really guilty for queue jumping you! We have cakes and chocolate waiting for you on the post natal thread!

girlsyearapart · 11/09/2010 08:02
