Me!!!! Can't see this one coming in the next week!!! Due a week Thursday - he seems quite happy in there!!

horsey oh wow your due date is getting closer :)

I think it's full moon on the 28th oct, i predict a few will be born that night!

Waves back at Poppet
Lovely lovely news on YW to wake up to! She's well and truly won our little baby race . Glad to hear they're doing well - might need to press you for details later if we're still on for coffee? Unless of course you're now on a mad dash northbound!! Pass on lots of love to her and hopefully see you all soon xxxxxxxx

(repeat, not jealous! )

Actually I had dd at 39 weeks, so I am hoping to do that this time, I am 38 weeks today.

Yeah very close!!! Still trying to think in terms of having 3 weeks left opposed to 1 week!!! That may change as I get closer and past edd!!!

Mm you heard from him yet?!

Yes! Another reason for this baby to come on 28th! It's all conspiring nicely

Can't wait to hear from YW eeek!

Am still in bed managed a fairly decent night again! Tips wot r gud - take food to bed with you. My 4am hunger was satisfied with a banana. I didn't even have to lift my head off the pillow! A bottle with a cap on to drink, so again, no lifting head off pillow! I also had a whispa about 6am also, going for a wee, lifting bump to release pressure on bladder gave me much better bladder control and feeling empty! Woohoo!

This baby has to stay in til Halloween because it'll have been two weeks since WC jab. From that day on she's welcome to come whenever!

Congratulations auntypoppet and also YW and MrYW. Had a bit of a sob at hearing the news. So glad it was an island birth as that suggests all went really well. Hopefully all will be home before the snow hits.

I reckon it is a boy, and MM will have a girl. Not that I know nuffin, but just a feeling...

Nope horsey his mobile is still out of range this morning. My insecure worry head is now panicking a little something's gone wrong. My angry hormonal brain wants to kill him!

I used to race a yacht similar to the one he's alledgedly on. It took at least 3/4 competent sailors to adequately crew it. He's gone out with a 60-something year old who's never sailed before. He's such a twat!!!

I wonder if they had to stay on the island as all rescue choppers would have been redirected to the one that ditched in the north sea yesterday? Soooo happy for them both that she got her island birth, regardless of why!

MM he really is being a silly little boy. I would be tempted to leave a note saying you had regular contractions so have gone to hospital and could not contact him. Might frighten him into growing up a bit. Trouble is, if he called the hospital and they had not seen you, there might be a major missing persons alert on the news for you. Hope he is safe anyway.

VQ we both predicted the other way round - I'm itching to know!!

MM was there loss of life in the helicopter crash? I did not hear about that. I hope everyone was safe. If YW had been at risk, they would have found a helicopter somewhere I am sure.

oh mm1 your dh is a twonk sometimes.

I bet MM. I think you will have the alternate flavour, but you never can tell until you see the baby, and my dad thought I was a boy because of the umbilical cord.

VQ I left him a text saying 'phone as soon as you get this' - when he sees it was sent at 8pm last night he'll worry. Shame i might not answer it.

Seriously if he had been like this before I was pregnant i would not have been with him. I've left blokes in the past for much much less. I don't do unreliable or wreckless!! I'm hoping it's just a phase with the whole big responsibility thing coming up. I have no doubt he'll be a wonderful dad, but if he doesn't change his care-free attitude where I'm concerned I think some serious reconsidering will be in order. I'm so angry!

Sorry guys for spilling this all out to you. I don't want to burden rl people!!

Nope all 19 were rescued. Really brings home how wonderful our coastguard and rnli are. Anything like that brings back horrible memories of the super puma disaster a few years ago - I was living in Aberdeen at the time and knew a few families caught up in it for one reason or another. Horrible horrible horrible. Amazing how a city all rallied together as such a close knit community at the time though.

Oooh great news for YW! Looking forward to hearing from her.

Detective I used one of your other tips last night and just didn't check the time every time I woke up for the loo or to roll over. It worked a treat as I went straight back to sleep every time without worrying about the time! Much better

mm1 get it all off your chest! I would be angry in your shoes. Perhaps he's getting everything our of his system.

Grrrr my baby is being naughty this morning! Movements are less than usual, but still what you would call good movements.

He has an hour to buck up his ideas....

I, in the meanwhile, am having pizza for breakfast in my defense, it is day before pay day and the cupboards are empty!!

MM He is gonna be in SO much trouble when he turns up. I seriously wonder if they have brains sometimes. Hopefully the fact that YW has had her baby early might make it closer to home for him, that he needs to be contactable at ALL times!

Morning.

Sooooooo excited to hear about babywellies. It is lovely that YW got the island birth she wanted.

MM sorry you still haven't heard from DH. I know categorically nothing about sailing but I would have thought he would have wanted you to know roughly where they were as when they would return just from a safety point of view. It is the height of selfishness that he hasn't thought of giving you these details. Could you head off to stay with your mum just now? It would take your kind off worrying about him.

VQ my DH always refers to a pair of shoes which he says are gray and I say are brown. Maybe colour distinction is not my thing

Today I have the dentist but I have mislaid my exemption certificate so I hope I don't need any treatment. Then it is operation get rings off. I have properely damaged the skin on both fingers and have left bruises from last attempt. I will try the dental floss method plus ice compression and see how I get on. I really wish I had just taken them off last week.

Ooooh, yay Peaky glad it worked for someone! I think we must be like babies, no stimulation on waking. Feed, change (wee!), back to sleep. Minimal fuss!

Well, that is what I decided last night anyway! I'm quite aware that I am awake very early, but the ability to actually stay in bed til a reasonable hour makes me feel far better! And awake when I do get up!

Well he's not dead:

"Safe and happy, having a blast. Still drunk. Love you."

He might be when he gets ashore. Feck knows where/when that will be. As the only experienced sailor onboard I'm furious he's broken all rules and got pissed on top of everything else.

Right I'm going to my mums for lunch. Will vent to her and see if she takes pity on me enough to let me stay for a few days! If not I may do/say something I regret and have to move home long term!!!

Awwww so lovely for yw hope it all went well.

I think I'll be hanging in here for a while yet not due til 20th any how's and as much as I want it early I just don't think he will.

Dectective I followed the not looking at the time thing and eating more before bed....I also slept better...
