VQ My 8 year old told me the other day that she,

'bet all girls were glad they had a front bum and not a urrrrmmmm, what are those things called that boys have?'

'willies?'

'yes, willies. Because if you were weeing and someone came in, you can see a boy's willy but you can't see a girls bum because we sit down to wee.'

She is the absolute queen of random comments. This mornings random one was,

'how long can you do an e for?'

'what do you mean an e?'

'you know, the letter e. How long can you do one for? I can do one for ages and ages because it starts my name.' (Erin)

Yes I made notes! Apparently I should make fists with my hands and stick them under my bottom to tilt me into the right position.

And I know I need to relaaaaax.... Trying to think calm hypno/yoga thoughts.

Shelly . Braxton hicks in yourself or others? If your 'gas' had those sort of magical properties for other ladies it might be quite handy for those wanting to get things moving if we were all in that room together. Or maybe you could bottle it and sell it on eBay.

Shocker at 9 VQ! Thanks for the front bottom advice everyone!

Georgee wouldn't really want to sell it on ebay, it could be used as a weapon of mass destruction, bloody hell, I'd have Blair on my doorstep with a noose!

Front bottom here too, but when DD is older we will use the correct terms. Probably will use willy for the boy, but when DSD was quite little she referred to Daddy as having a "sausage bottom" so that kind of goes in our household too.

Have just had an epic meltdown at DH over the DIY he keeps promising to do and never does. Now I am on mat leave am so much more aware of the state of the house. After wrestling the gloss paint and paintbrush from me, he has sent DD and I to bed for a nap. And promised to do some of the chores this weekend. Hormones + nagging = the promise of what I want.

Think we're almost there on names too. Either Thomas Hugo or Jack Rufus. Massive relief, especially as at one time DH was quite seriously advocating Cosmo Danger. Apologies if either of these are on anyone's list, but so not to my taste!

MadamGazelle ... but then he could say 'Danger is my middle name' ...

Yes, DH thinks that is genius. I actually despair sometimes...

Lol

Firmly in denial still.

:(

Please stop! Am sending DP out for 'supplies' soon.

Tis all in my back. Grrrr.

detective dont fight it, your body knows what its doing. go with it :)

The good thing is it could fix your fanjo Detective

Are you filling up your pool?

Really sorry this isn't going to plan detective. Thinking of you and will stop being flip about internet videos etc and do something useful. Like some work. Take care and just see how it goes with an open mind. As pasties says, best not to fight it if it's really going to happen today!

True... It could also dastardly mangle said fanjo

I just want to go to Ikea :( DP said no...

No pool filling because I'm hoping it will just stop. I did manage an hours sleep but they woke me up. Pool not to be filled til later. I'm probably in for the long haul whenever it happens anyway.

I was in denial for 12 hours with DS so this could go on for some time yet

Well good night y'all, I will check in the morning and maybe there will have been a baby or two born. Good luck for tomorrow ladies (who are being induced/swept/c-sectioned etc).

You might not have 12 hours Detective. I had 4 with my second (from start to finish).

Night Pasties

Been going on for 5 hours already but not changed much other than being a little more uncomfortable than at the start.

Because I've got a 10 year gap and haven't had a vaginal birth, long labour much more likely unfortunately!

Thanks Pasties, night.

Oh right, well at least get your candles lit and burners going. Am actually going to look at burners tonight on ebay because of you

shelly I always run away after a fart! Or waddle! Though like you I have done a couple of uncontrolable ones in front of DH. The mortification. Also, I have the pre fart Braxton Hicks! Sometimes it fools me into thinking it really is it. It no, is a fart brewing.

detective where are you? Too quiet. Or is it part of your getting out and about plan?

blonder good luck with your sweep, worked for me twice! Same day. mwuuhhhahahahahaha.

Oh, there you are I think my refresh page is a bit shite.

You ladies have made me laugh this morning. Arse stingers - my DH will love that term. I think I'm just going to use the term 'bits' when junior is young if a girl and willy if a boy - and then progress onto medical terms when about five or six. I think that's what my Mum used. I remember having a drunken conversation with pals as an adult about the terms their Mums used and some were HILARIOUS - twinkle, foofoo etc (one pal just could NOT sing 'twinkle, twinkle little star' with a straight face). I'm almost tempted to use the term 'fanjo' or 'vagine' though....

So the Hotel Chocolat christmas catalog has just arrived this morning. It is in the excited and sweaty hand of this fat preggo bird. That's not a dangerous combination is it?

Thanks Sophia...
