Go Livvy!!!! So happy for you!!!

I'm stillllll standing. Da da da da da. And all that jazz.

Meltdown today. Over a tumble dryer. Not going where I wanted it to go. I have a maajor humph on :(

OMG . That was one helluva experience but our daughter is here at last! 6lb12oz. Delighted but swaying with tiredness.

Thank you for your support everyone.

More when I've slept.

Congratulations Livvy!! Really happy for you. Hopefully not long for me now...

Runs around with pom poems for livvy and Baby livvy and puts on boiler suit to help move the tumble dryer for mickey

Congratulations livvy!
Will keep on popping in here to see you mickey not long now I'm sure

Yay Livvy!!!!!! Congratulations and welcome little one!! Xx

hi ladies,

wow, congrats londonmrs , bella, and livvy on the safe arrival of your babies

my lazy bean eventually arrived same day as bella's, on sunday. A sh1tload of drugs were needed to get things going, ( 2 prostaglandin gels and a lot of syntocinon) and for my comfort,i ended up begging for epidural! ....i have so much respect for anyone who does labor on just gas and air....it's great fun, the gas and air, cant say it did too much for my pain, tho. I will post labor story later, farcking hell, labor and becoming a parent is so full on!

Anyway, my beautiful Amelie Rose is here :-) i am completely in love, and think she is the most beautiful baby ever...and we only just sorted out her crusty eye situation, so i am clearly not objective about her.

need to get some z's...hang in there, mickey!! v. sleep deprived, is anyone else still waiting? x

Yay Beccus!!!!! Congratulations and welcome Amelie Rose!! Beautiful name! X x

Aww congratulations beccus!! Glad you popped back to update us.

Thanks everyone for your ongoing support- hopefully it wont be long now. Psychic doula is sure it will be a wednesday so hopefully itll be this one!!

Thanks midget for virtual help moving tumble dryer- i had a pregnant lady whinge at DP when he came in and as usual was completely lovely about it and fixed the entire situation with no complaints. I luffs him.

Please dont go digging out the champagne without me- im not far behind you all, promise!!!!

Congrats Livvy! Welcome Little Livvy Hope you managed to get lots of sleep and are recovering nicely.

And congratulations Beccus, hello Amelie Rose! Such a pretty name. Wish I could have had a bit of gas and air.

Hang in there Mickey, we won't forget about you! You have plenty of time left, so please don't wish it away or feel in a hurry. I love my baby, but I miss my bump too especially how easy it was to take care of compared to a new born And please carry on the pregnant woman meltdowns for the rest of us!

I'm going home this evening, thank goodness. It was meant to be tomorrow evening but I made a calculated mistake and its a day earlier! It's lovely here - food great, staff lovely, relaxing environment, lots of help etc. but I need my space and to start getting into the real swing of things.

hooray for beccus and your lovely little girl! How amazing that she and william have the same birthday 9 days after the same due date! That is lovely. I worshipped at the wine god's alter tonight and had a glass of champers with DH and it was lush! Hope you have too!

I so hope that psychic doula is right mickey and you get an october baby on wed! Xxx

Yes Mickey, actually I think you should tidy things up nicely and have this baby before the stroke of midnight on the 31st please!

Yay, big congrats Beccus on the birth of Amelie Rose, and Livvy on the birth of little Livvy. Was your DH at home when it all started? Hope everything is OK for you both post-birth and looking forward to hearing your stories soon and seeing you over on the PN thread which I totally can't keep up with

Am heading to breastfeeding support group this morning as her latching is still very hit and miss and it is making me really stressed. Used to be that she would feed peacefully and then scream when DH changed her but now is other way round - she lies there content while he changes her but screams and fights when she tries to latch on

Mickey, eviction notice in the post for Mini Mickey! is Wednesday Hallowe'en? What a cool day to have a baby!

Huge congratulations to Bella, Beccus & Livvy on your arrivals! Also belated congrats to Liege & to Smorgs. Looking forward to hearing everyone's birth stories on the PN thread when we are un-shell-shocked enough to tell them!

Thinking of you Mickey - won't be long I'm sure.

Me & baby Fjord are still bumbling along like amateurs . Main problem now being nocturnalism and me never getting more than 4 hours sleep in any 24 hr period (and this is showing my age somewhat ).

See everyone over on the PN thread (if I ever get there!)

Lmao I will try Cherry!!

Thankyou for all your thoughts everyone. I seem to be coming down with a cold :( Not impressed. I don't want to be ill and having a baby and ughhhh :'(

Oh poor you mickey. Sorry re one handed rubbish typing.

Fjord I feel your pain re nocturnalism. Man this is hard.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes.

Yep yomping DF was home. Thankfully. After 28 hours of contractions ay home my waters broke in the night so we went in to get checked out.

hey mickey, just checking in to see how you are? Any signs? So sorry to hear about your cold!

Waves to livvy who I see is up feeding too! Will keeps falling asleep after 10 minutes so it takes forever to fill him up-aaaaagh! Xxx

thanks everyone!! i know, bella, funny isn't it :-)
Agree with livvy, bump was much easier to manage than baby, but baby much more loveable. yomping, hearing u in the b/f stress camp, our d/c is delayed until it's a bit more sorted. bubs falls asleep during, but then settling after also hard. doing 1 handed typing too during post feeding cuddle. cheers for mickey, halloween baby would be awesome, but guy fawkes baby also cool. our babies will have great birthday parties....and as a close to xmas birthday gal, am pleased for them all xx

Hey hey. no signs yet :( If i'm being honest i havent been very pro-active these last few days. I have the energy to hoover and then I have to sit down and put my feet up!! I've been so so tired this last week. Loving being able to sleep in til 9am though. I know that won't be happening for much longer so I'll make the most of it!!

Mickey that's a fab attitude. Enjoy the sleep and the rest. As you say, all the reserves will come in handy in due course. And as Beccus says, Guy Fawkes baby would be cool - imagine having fireworks on your birthday every year?!

Meanwhile I am ASTONISHED by how big my boobs have got. 32J, ladies, 32J. For the record I started this pregnancy journey at a not-too-enormous 30F. Jaysus. I am hoping they don't get much bigger as bras don't get much bigger!! I'll be sending DF to the post office to return all the smaller sizes that I had optimistically ordered.

Christ Livvy, 32J?! I wasn't even aware that size existed [hgrin]
How are you not falling on your front?!

I'm carving pumpkins today with my mum and brother and sister. happy halloween everyone!!
