Hello ladies! I can't wait to see how many No Brooking babies arrive during the course of this thread!! Do you realise we have now filled SEVEN threads (and that's just the graduates!) That's 7000 posts and counting!

Let's all get settled in for some serious No Brooking, we have a lot of painless sneeze births to get through over the next couple of weeks!

I'm betting on a girl Grin Go Biscuits Go!!!

fishcakefoxtrot · 08/03/2012 21:46

Go biscuits I hope you doing a big sneeze as I type.
I reckon by Saturday lunchtime there could be 3 new no brooking babies- Saturday morning ok for you purple?

fishcakefoxtrot · 08/03/2012 21:52

Dream those sound like great weights! Did they do the doppler scan today? I think the consultant is being ultra sensible by telling you to go straight in- no point hanging around waiting and worrying. Anyway, I am brooking no argument that you will not be delivering any time soon. No queue jumping please!

scarletfingernail · 08/03/2012 22:02

I reckon a girl for biscuits

Yay for consultant B & C scream

Sounds like a good scan dream, how are you getting on with the doppler?

Hope you hold out til the weekend purple

Can't wait for your news Too

DreamingOfPeace · 08/03/2012 22:04

Thanks fishcake, and don't worry, no queue jumping here, they're waiting their turn Smile . They are good weights, it's the drop I was worrying about, but as each estimate can be so far out, I guess he's most likely growing absolutely fine and the estimates are wrong rather than his growth- right?! No, doppler scan next Thursday and see the consultant again afterwards. Now I'm busy worrying about movements though, and making sure I know which is which (which I don't, inconsiderate boys with all their limbs in the middle of the bump!)

Thinking of you biscuits!! Is the biscuitcrumb here yet?! I will be on here first thing tomorrow ignores threat of no reception and therefore no mn, assumes biscuits will make it a priority to text scarlet or get her dh to update for her

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 08/03/2012 22:04

Oof, have suddenly gone exhausted. I have bathed, I have shaved every bit of me that needed shaving (TMI?) and DH is making me toast in preparation for nil-by-mouth after midnight. I don't think I can stay awake til midnight so it'll have to be now. I have drunk heaps of water and I'm still thirsty. I just have to remember to pack my toothbrush and moisturiser after I've used them in the morning and I'm all set. I think. I'm looking forward to the Ranitidine after my toast.

Right, I'll be heading to bed now. Hope everything is going swimmingly for Biscuits and her UBB!

DreamingOfPeace · 08/03/2012 22:04

and you of course too!!! Your birth will be lovely tomorrow, nothing to stress over, lots of lovely newborn cuddles with your precious DD2 Grin

DreamingOfPeace · 08/03/2012 22:06

and too, the ranitidine is BLISS!!! enjoy your heartburn-free sleep

Too, hope everything goes wonderfully for you tomorrow! Will be brooking like mad :-) Hope you get as good a night's sleep as is possible!

So excited for Biscuits too. Hope all's going well. I'm sure after her wonderful sneeze birth she'll find a way to keep us, the brooking brigade, informed!

Wait what happened... biscuits us trying to beat too to the punch?

On the edge of my seat while I head back up the thread to figure out what the hell has gone on

Biscuitsandtea · 08/03/2012 23:40

Well, Ethan Thomas was born just after 10pm weighing in at 8lb 4oz.

Delivered by..... VB!!

Second degree tear Sad (which I'm still waiting for them to stitch!) but all ok I think (hope!)

TBH I don't think I could have had a CS as was 4cm by the time they checked me after we got here.

Have had a pretty successful go at bf - don't know if he got much, but he tried latching on to both sides ok so that's going better than it did with DS!

Oooh just about to be stitched

Laters Brookers

(and good luck to Too Smile)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 08/03/2012 23:43

Congratulations Biscuits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe how fast that was!?! Ethan's such a gorgeous name.

Sorry to hear about the tear but hopefully they'll sort it out asap and it'll heal up super fast with all the No Brooking that will be directed at it.

Congratulations again!! Well done!!!

Right I'm with it now

Go biscuits go

Strength and honour to too for tomorrow. Best of luck and take deep breaths to calm yourself if needed. I think I was in shock throughout my cs as I had nearly uncontrollable shakes with the fear that all would it be well. BUT the brooking power is strong so all will be fine. Can't wait to hear exciting news in due course. Much love to bscuits and too h x

hawthers · 08/03/2012 23:53

Holy shit clearly not with it!

Whoop whoop well done biscuits that is cracking! Marvellous news - feel a bit weepy and proud of us brookers. Will check in with you later when I'm up with ds.
