Sneeze births! We shall BROOK NO ARGUMENT about overcoming any issues in our way! (part 10 yikes)

[NinjaChipmunk]

This way ladies

Myth, hurrah! Hope all's going well - brooking for you! :)

Menconium, congratulations - and a lovely name too! :) So pleased to hear from you!

So pleased to hear Myth's news - really picked me up from my almost-due-date-but-no-baby-yet blues (which I have no right to have considering how long some of you have had to wait, including Myth!).

Will be checking back all afternoon for news!

Woohoo! Go Myth! 6 cm is excellent work, you'll have a gorgeous newborn in no time!

Right - cakes are done - where's this baby?

Give us an M

What do we get?
Mini-Myth

Biscuits, you'd give Imps a run for her money!

Imps is my inspiration musical

go myth!!

It shows Biscuits

I have an ill DH. He is supposed to be playing hide the sausage with me in an attempt to get things moving . Ah well, onto the pineapple...

musical hide the sausage is overrated! Did nothing for me as in no baby today :) I don't like pineapple so am running out of options!
Congrats meconium great name, we are still thinking of using it as MN.
Go myth things are finally moving!

well I have done my good deed for the day and taken ds to a birthday party. It was quite good but at 2 & 1/2 hours it went on waayy too long! He seems much better today, he slept till 10am this morning and hasn't had a temp since. Right must start making a food shopping list, the excitement never ends here!
Someone better have a baby soon........!

I'd love to oblige Ninja but my body has other ideas

Wants, I've heard that hide the sausage - alongside so many of these other things - doesn't have much effect unless the body's more or less ready, then just pushes you along! So clearly mine isn't either, as otherwise I would have bounced this baby out already .

Hoping Myth may have had her snuggly newborn by now :)

Lots of pain, twinges, and painful BH (contractions?) here. Trying not to get my hopes up that the LO could be preparing to arrive on his/her due date (tomorrow!).

Eeek, 6cm, go myth!

Lovely news meconium, I also love the name Theo.

Good effort ninja. What does constitute a 'good' party at that age?

Dreamy twins trying to break dh and I with total sleep deprivation and lots of screaming. Dh not enjoying it at all which is sad but it is a real slog on minimal sleep for me and far less than keeps him good tempered for dh atm...

Sounds exciting Musical!

Oooh, musical how exciting- I hope!

I was thinking about you the other day Dream. There was a thread about funny things heard over the baby monitor and somebody who had twins heard one of them change the other's nappy.

dream so sorry to hear the boys don't want to sleep for you. I wish I had some words of wisdom that could help. Are they reflux-y or colicy or just generally being pesky? I do hope someone somewhere on MN can offer some advice. They are rather lovely though in your pics and you are still an awesome mum of 3 very young children.
Ooh musical maybe you are up next? Now you've moved in and all that, your bean might have decided the time has come?
I wonder how myth is getting on?

Baby Isabel Helen was born 12/05/12 at 21:25 weighing 8 lbs 7oz. Squeezed out naturally in 22 minutes after a failed epidural. Midwives impressed with my angry face & speed lol!
She is gorgeous and soft and I can't stop gazing at her

Congratulations Myth! You must be so happy and relieved she's finally here! Lovely name too- one on our shortlist!

Enjoy your snuggles :-)

Congratulations myth and well done!

...no news here. Ninja, that would be nice! :)

Contractions or painful BHs (as a FTM it's hard to know which is which?) since yesterday afternoon. Awake most of the night so far, and have just consumed a rather hefty amount of chocolate!

MIL and SIL due to visit at lunchtime. Really don't want them here...

Well done Myth! Gorgeous name, I love that spelling of it as well! Enjoy your well- earned newborn snuggles.

Congratulations! See you on the night shift!

Yay! Congratulations Myth

Gorgeous name (again, on our shortlist if ds had been a dd) and I also like that spelling of it too.

See you on the night shift soon xxx

Can I just ask a question about slings? I have borrowed a moby wrap from a friend, which is ok but I'm struggling to get it tied on properly. That's ok though as I'm going to a sling meet next Monday to get some help (a bit like going to the car seat shop to get the fit of the car seat checked ).

Anyway, I wondered if anyone had any advice on slings in terms of different designs etc? Ninja am I right in thinking it was you that had a ring sling? What sort? Just looked on eBay and there seems to be all different sorts .

I guess I want (a) a sling for carrying DS2 and (b) was thinking of trying bf in a sling when out and about. I've had ring slings recommended for bf a few times too. Are ring slings good for this and does it matter which sort?

If it helps, DS2 is 9 weeks and 13lb 13oz (or at least he was last week).

Obviously I'll be asking these questions when I go to the sling meet next week but feel like I need a heads up as its all a bit overwhelming......

Cheers xx

Ok, now I'm looking on Amazon. Anyone know anything about Mei Tei carriers? This looks kinda comfy? But I do have a Baby Bjorn - are they quite similar?

Also, doesn't this baby look like they're about to fall out ? Someone just doesn't look right?

Congrats myth!! Lovely name

Musical - may I suggest a nap soon after in laws arrival?
