The PESH Deli - No ESH left behind

[PerfectDromedary]

I have opened the virtual gin, found the Desperate Romantics and am about to start playing I've Never. Who's with me?

No worries box I just appreciate you sending it! I was just worried that you may have done so already and that you were thinking I was a rude cah for not thanking you and it was under a pile of crap post in our house somewhere...

Mornin. Need to catch up on above. I am fick. alpine who are you? I am also confused and in need of remedial help. Name changing should not be allowed.

IT IS MY LAST DAY.

So far I have. Been on FB, done my ML out of office, chatted alot with everyone, copied stuff onto a memory stick (just in case we win the lottery) and that's about it. Next - lunch.

moo I can help with apline cos I get it you see OK, so clues are: does not live in this country, is a FESH, has a nag and Julian is now about 3 mth old (wow, where did that time go?) Geddit?

Man - I am soooooooooooooooo bored of waiting in for the delivery guy. No he is not bringing me my baybee. Or maybe he is?

lozza come play in here.

My butt is getting sore from sitting on the sofa. Or is that my butt grapes talking????

I am "working from home" Silver waiting for the boiler man. My fella is away all week in the US and it is the week the feckin' boiler (which is quite new) decides to play up. I have been giving mini C baths filled with 6 kettles full of boiling water and topped up with cold - it is a bit tedious. I even took a shower at work yesterday as I could not face washing my hair again in a cold shower. I have no food (that I fancy) in the house and know that is I pop out for a sarnie then he is bound to come while I am out and I will miss my slot! Fuck sticks.

Oh wait, my boiler man has arrived and no, he is not fit...

Shame! So much nicer when they are droolsome.

medee FB me your address and I'll send name books and a baby owner's manual for MrM. SFF doesn't do reading, so it was a waste of time for him.

Happy last day moomoo!

Tango slaps all round

Right back to the orifice for me, boiler fixed (a fucking 2 minute job to replace a dial) when I have been without hot water for 4 friggin days! Oh well, a bath for me later!

Thanks CC, have messaged.

Rodger that, meds, will get it sorted ASA

Hi all!

Alpine - love it! (when I finally got it...)

Lorry I didn't feel ready to committo the Deli for a while, was sure something would go wrong. Also I didn't suffer the sickness, just general hungover feeling/wanting to eat /exhausted etc.

So, quick update. Am booked in for induction tomorrow afternoon. Clint is clearly not moving out of his own accord, having failed to fully engage or get the cervix open any more than a bit at the base of the neck. Mw couldn't even do a proper sweep. I am trying to concentrate on the positive induction stories, though now I can't use a birth pool I feel like I might as well take the lovely drugs. Oh, and he is b2b too. Well, LOP.

I'm trying to remain positive, or at least not dwell on tomorrow but frankly right now it isn't working. Though I have had a lovely day. The sun is shining, and to get out of the house while the cleaner was here I took myself off to the cinema. Dreadful film, but liberating experience to go on my own (firsts at age 36!)

Sorry for mememe.

Fanny's theory doesn't hold in my case anyway - I have a Sept birthday and Clint will have an Oct one now!

Honey happy last day!

Ooh VAG, you are going to lay a baybee tomorrow!

If it helps, I have just discovered that my mum was induced for all her pregnancies. And she did all of them with just gas & air. So it doesn't have to end up scary.

Good luck VAG! artie was b2b and it was fine, honestly :) you is laying a baybee!! whahoo!!!

good luck vag and enjoy the drucks. . will be thinking of you.

Thanks Oakie - my Mum and sis were too. I havm friends who were, and there is barely q good story between them so have had to trawl mn! I'm going in at 4 tomorrow so by the time they have done checks etc, imagine actual process won't start till late.

Mum is driving me nuts. Stupid idea.to ask hher to be at birth. She is fussing so much she insisted on holding the birth ball I have been sitting on for weeks before I sat down.....what does she think I do when.she isn't there? Ironically if it were here she would tolerate the fussing even less - I just wish she would think and not just indulge herself. And yes, she means well and I am being unreasonable. Wanna make something of it?

Ok, it is fair to say I am a bit fighty today....

test

oh - didn't see the other messages - thanks ladies! will try to get a message over when it happens but it'll depend on whether I can charge my phone there.

hiya VAG. All I can say is try and get a good night's sleep tonight because tomorrow will be a long day. Eat, sleep, take the pain-killers and be aware that it may end up in a c-section and if it does it's fine. You don't win a medal for a vaginal delivery. :)

Tbf we've done very well as ESHes on the c-section front - I think there have only been 3 of us - one elective, one emergency and one medically dictated although not emergency.

PS Now is probably a good fucking time for you to admit you're pregnant and actually pack that bag!

Ah sleep! - how I long for it! Think I might nap in a bit to my hypnobirthing cd and then count on a lie-in tomorrow. Not much sleep going on in the night, but then it's been like that for a while. I am worried I won't have the stamina. The thought of a cs doesn't bother me but the thought of the hours of pain before they let me have one does.

Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts.

(and it's lovely to be mnetting on a pc again and not virtual pesky keyboard)

Ooh VAG! Good luck matey. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. If only we could have a VAGcam...

Oh vag how.......I don't know! Exciting - of course. Scary - I imagine so - "at long last" - prolly a bit of that too.

No wonder you stayed in De Nile for so long - the water is warm, the cocktails are long & iced. Quite nice, innit?

Will be thinking of you, MrVag & Clint. Good luck & can't wait for an update, x

In other news I just rang FC - don't really know how these things work. Nurse squealed like a strangled cat - my ear is still ringing. Gladly she said I can still go on hols (was that ever a doubt) & because I took Clomid has booked me in for a scan. A FUCKING SCAN. That sounds a bit real. So 28 Oct it is.

Until then I shall be staying in De Nile waiting for vagnews

(Considering I said I felt a bit of a fraud being in the Deli I'm not doing too badly so far )

Lozza, no pressure to be a thread bigamist or owt, but I will be soooo loooonely in Palais without you, scorps and salad...pliz not to abandon me :(

VAG everything but the legs crossed for you tomorrow. I hope the induction works quick and you are not waiting around and messing about. If you change you mind you can still ask to just go in for daily monitoring until beyond 42 weeks you know (like Cos) but I assume you are just fed up now and would like to meet Clint which is totally fair enough. Maybe try one last shag tonight, drink raspberry leaf tea for the rest of the day and rub some clary sage oil on your tum tum

Laurie - you are most welcome in here. Tis nice having you around.
