MM that is awesome they rescued all 19. So glad. I think the text you sent should scare him sufficiently. I do hope he starts acting a bit more grown up, as you need his support, not another kid to look after.

pass good luck with rings and dentist. I am sure your bump is proof enough of your exemption.

And yeah pass - we always always always tell each other roughly where we'll be. In fact, we usually plot out our exact route on a chart and check in at various points so if need be we can direct rescuers to an exactish area. I don't even know if he's on the east or west coast!

Oh mm I would not be there when he got home...I would be at my mums just so he knows exactly what he has done...

In the famous MN words LEAVE THE BASTARD for a few days to sweat in his own mess!

Honestly, prize plonker award goes to MrMummy!

Yay Pikz My experiments are working mwhahahaha!

MM getting drunk is making this so much worse. The amount of worry that could cause you. I think going to your mums for a few days is a good plan. He needs to realise that he has a lot to lose!

I never ever look at a clock if I wake in the night, it's a good rule to live by. I am a terrible insomniac sometimes though, pregnancy or no pregnancy. I listen to story books on my iPod to help pass the time.

I used to tell DP off if we woke in the night and he told me the time! I hate knowing the time when sleeping - it makes things feel so much worse!

I'm more of an in denial kind of person when it comes to amount of sleep left to be had!

Ooo exciting news about YW can't wait to hear more

Glad your hubby is safe and sound MM but what a wally for worrying you like that!

Think you will be ok at the dentist Pass your bump should be enough proof!

Wow not long to go for you VQ!

Think I'll definitely be here past 1st November, no signs of baby arriving at all so far. Feeling much brighter this morning, hopefully that's the antibiotics kicking in. Wheezing is a lot worse after I've eaten a meal so will be eating very small meals for a while! Looking forward to spending a day at home with DD

Good you got antibiotics kissy. Not long now for me as you say but soon enough as I feel like shit! We put together the double pushchair last night. It is a beast! Mountain buggy terrain, built like a tank. This morning the girls went quiet, and they were both sitting in it with the hood over them. Bearing in mind my eldest is a tall 6yo, I was pretty impressed! Gonna do the final check of bags and Moses basket and pram bedding today. Still cannot quite believe we are having a third child, who was wanted so very much, but thought we would never have. I think I will not quite believe it until I hold him. Hopefully he will not be a baby rhino.

You'll be fine vq!!! Must be nice in someways having that definite date to work to!! How long do you have to stay in hospital for? Will they keep you in over the weekend?

aww VQ it's so exciting for your family, a tiny little boy will soon be going home with you! Cant wait to hear names! Have you decided yet, or will you wait to see his little face?

kissy glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. It's hard enough being pregnant without illness on top.

My heart really goes out to anyone with spd or pgp pains. Just so awful for you girls.

A tiny rhino....

I'm currently dancing while lay flat on my back to 'We love to boogie'!

Billy Elliot, eat your heart out!

Congrats to YW!

We had a bit of drama last night. I suddenly couldn't catch my breath. I practised my hypnobirthing breathing and my body was relaxed but I just couldn't seem to breathe properly. So off we went to triage. Normal blood pressure, oxygen getting around my body ok, baby's heartbeat fine, everything fine in my chest and haemoglobin test results just confirmed they are fine. He shifted after we'd been there a few hours and my breathing got easier so I think he just shifted upwards and rather than gradually having less chest space I suddenly had a lot less.

Everyone was lovely but it was a bit embarrassing. I was on the bed perfectly calm saying it felt like I was having a panic attack or similar aside from the fact I felt quite relaxed. They sent me home with strict instructions to go straight back if it got harder to breathe again.

I'm 37 weeks on Thursday and will be doing everything I can to bring labour on. When the midwife measured me I was down to 34cm (from 36cm last Wednesday) and it feels he's determined to grow/move into me rather than give me a bigger bump and there just isn't space.

Bed dancing? My favorite is car dancing :)

So delighted for YW, will be waiting on tenterhooks now for all the details! Very exciting indeed.

Hope blonder is getting on OK.

Very exciting for you VQ, hope you feel all prepared.

This morning it struck me that it still might be 6+ weeks before my baby is here. 6 weeks today I'll see the consultant and we'll decide whether it's an ELCS or if not how long to leave it. The latest they'll let me go is 7 Dec. That feels like a long, long, long time!

Car dancing is a regular occurrence in my life... head banging goes down a treat at traffic lights. Think Waynes World

No names decided yet, but I think he will be a Grayson.

It is great having a date to work to. I have to be at the hospital for 8.30 and it is some distance away, so my mum is taking DD2 to nursery, we are dropping DD1 around to a friends house at 7.45, and she will go to school with them, and my dad is taking us to the hospital. It is good being able to have all that set up in advance, plus the biggest bonus is I get to have baby at 39 weeks! So very old, they would not let me go over dates, and due to previous section they would not induce me, plus my ability to make huge babies, it all makes sense to have an elective. A big part of me is still sad I am not having a 'natural' birth, but all that really matters is baby and mummy are safe. I am having my tubes tied too (thank God!) so may be more sore than last time, but I hope to be discharged home on Saturday. They try to do all the electives before lunch, but obviously if there is an emergency, I may be bumped. I have my ranitidine to have the night before, and on the morning too. Nil by mouth from midnight. Not sure much sleep will be had. Catheter for 24 hours, which I am strangely looking forward to as I will not have to get up to the loo each hour. I am looking for ward to 48 hours of peace with my boy before the chaos of home! I am feeling much more confident about feeding too this time.

Oh MM forgot to say, I'd be furious if I were you. Not sure about how you can take the most effective revenge (I'm terrible at these things and just burst into tears, not cool at all). He does need to grow up a bit. Maybe hearing others' horrified reactions will make him realise how stupid he's been - tell everyone you know and they can do the work!

Glad your panic wasn't anything big in the end Waiting. I'd have hated that, poor you!

detective none of what you say suprises me, and I was already thinking Wayne's world! You have the hair, kinda

DS has the long hair too... as does DP. We make a good car full of head bangers. Wonder if the baby will join in

waiting the breathing thing must have been frightening! I have had that on occasions and for me it definately is position of baby.

I am really looking forward to the jelly belly feeling, when it is all wibbly wobbly and not your own, and not stretched to hurting point.

I braved the scales. Have put on 1/2 stone so happy with that. I will weigh less when baby is born! My bump is vast. I have decided not to measure that!

Georgee I used to be good at the revenge thing in fact I was a fiery mental case in a past life but now I just crumble and cry too. My mum and dad are really peed off with him so I'm certain they'll be having a chat if/when he returns. His folks are coming over from norn iron at the weekend and although his dad will just encourage him, his mum will be furious. He listens to her. FC he'll be working right up until I pop now so this is the last time he can be a selfish, reckless muppet. It annoys me so much because he never used to be like this, it really has just been the past month or so he's reverted to behaving like a teenager! I do hope - as some of you lovely ladies have suggested - he's just getting it out of his system...

I get times of breathlessness too Waiting caused by baby pushing upwards, and also if I am lay on my back, even propped up, the BH's make me breathless!
