This had better be the last antenatal thread for us all, so come on girls, get pushing!

Tis all very surreal... Contractions about 10 mins apart. Waiting for a little longer before calling my sister.

DD was really good about the school thing. I feel like I could quite easily be up to it still by then, but her first day at preschool is something I want to be able to treasure, and not worry about labour. It'll make it a special treat when it does happen I guess!

You see, I said there would be a baby by the end of this week well done flame and good luck!!!

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 11:28

ok gotcha!

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 11:37

I'll be there too...good luck!

Does this mean it's going to be deserted on here today.

I've decided to crash the March thread today, after a couple of weeks of lurking, since this one is obviously not coming any time soon.

Thell....Helen....are you out there??????? (voice echos in the silence)

Jas - I know how you feel - I was due in Jan - hence I "straddled" the Jan and Feb threads. Still loads of days left in Feb though - so don't get disheartened just yet!

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 11:40

I've been on both for ages Jas, your most welcome have to say, dd and I are off out in a bit, so it'll no doubt get quieter on here, where on earth are Thell and Helen today??

Helen38 · 23/02/2006 15:36

Well i guess i know why theres nobody on here today

Will try to check on flame later, why did it have to get exciting today when I haven't been near the computer???

Not around much tomorrow either, hospital first thing in morning which is a good 45min at that time of day any more babies coming?????

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 15:37

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 17:48

Hello, is there anybody out there?!

See Flame is getting on ok, contractions getting stronger, my moneys on delivery for 11.52pm tonight! (like I've gotten it right for anyone yet!)

Jas, how you feeling hon? how's your day been?
Helen, Thell how's about you guys??

Tried to take dd to a play centre today, but 1hrs waiting at all local ones, damn snow and half term!! kinda odd as I get two half terms in a row, cause ss has his the week before or the week after our local one! ended up taking her for lunch with a friend at a garden centre, so she could have a look at the fish and assorted pets etc so have seen lots of Nemo's and even a Dory!

Dh got snowed off work today, and has spent all day on computer, is now making up for it by finally putting together the double buggy....

I'm also starting to feel a bit sicky again, hope I'm not coming down with anything....

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 18:17

I'm still here Frizbe
Feeling fine - no signs at all of labour, but quite enjoying Flame's labour thread.

Had a nice afternoon with friends (one with 6 month old, and the other just pregnant, so lots to catch up on.)

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 20:20

{{{{Huge Hugs}}}} going out to flame, she's still every 10 mins ......

Glad your feeling ok Jas, where is everyone else?!

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 20:31

We are everyone else this evening Frizbe.
Going to bounce on my ball in front of the tv now (sympathy bounces for Flame!)
Will be checking in on Flame's thread as much as I can...

Dp just phoned and asked my permission to go and play cards with his cousin. This is a first(the asking me, not the card-playing) He got drunk last night, and is not in my good books, but if I told him to come home I'd have to stay off MN, as he already thinks I'm mad, and addicted, so I said yes.
We will see now if he can be out and not drink.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 20:38

Lol Jas, let me know how he goes on
My dh is stuck on his computer playing games again....sigh......he hasn't quite finished putting together the new pushchair....still the hoods to do.....men eh!
Bit miffed about nowt on on tv at the mo, waiting for Babylon myself.....might go and find some food to nibble on, even tho I don't really feel like eating much......(hello waistline!)

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 20:47

I'm waiting for Cold Case!
Might join you in the unnecessary snack while I wait though. I have had a packet of hobnobs in the kitchen for a week that are calling out to me. I bought them to go with my post birth cup of tea, but I may just eat them now, and buy more next week!

OP posts:
Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 20:53

mmm Hobnobs haven't had those for ages are they chocolatey ones?

I just ate a jaffamuller yog, but wish I hadn't feeling sick again now and booo....

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 20:55

No. I don't like milk chocolate very much, and it makes your tea taste funny when you dunk!

I am so desperate for a cuppa that tastes nice....

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 21:00

True they're not good dunkers (do I sense a peter kay moment here!) hurrah the tv is about to get watchable for an hour!! MN's slow tonight isn't it?
Wishing you lots of labour vibes for overnight hon, lets hope flames popped by tomorrow and we have another one on the way, yours!!

Thell · 23/02/2006 21:21

I am here ladies - was fed up today that our attempts at natural induction last night didn't get me anywhere so went into hiding in my dressing gown!

Am straddling Flame's thread at the mo...

PS I started out joining the March thread too, expecting to go over, but the Feb one was so chatty I couldn't keep up with both!!

Hope Flame is doing ok.

Thell · 23/02/2006 21:24
