Well, apart from pasties who I hope spends the day in a pool sipping on cloudy lemonade and eating Crunchie ice cream

Yup its snowed here and making me reconsider my 'let's freak the lifeguard out' 41 week swim I'd planned for today! Actually, maybe aquanatal on Friday would be more freaky!

Hoping all is well MM and youre nearing baby cuddles!

Had period like pains in night (I think - don't really get them) but am still convinced any of these pains there and in lower back are digestive/ pressure pains and bhs these days only get triggered by needing the loo. Feels like a Benjamin button pregnancy

No snow here but lots of fog. DD seems a lot better this morning do I'm sending her to school. My contractions turned into BH's but went on all night. Feel a but dodgy today but no contractions.

Hope your baby is here or comes soon mm1, good luck to everyone else. Let's look on the bright dude, we'll all have our babies by Christmas!

Side not dude!

Glad she's better toomany and fx they resume again for you soon x

I thinking looking on the bright dude makes perfect sense!

all day in a pool .

yikes at the snow!

toomanydicks & clarella fingers crossed for two today.

*for you both today

Gah to pootractions!

Thanks iheart :)

Another sweep tomorrow but think she'll do it properly this time

eyes up newborn 7lb clothes and considers wacking epidural to top of 'birth plan'

congrats missmummy love the name :)

clarella pootractions are the worst!

Yay, congratulations mm and welcome Matilda! Been checking all night...

Pootractions were rubbish. Used to really cheese me off

Amazing news MissMummy1, It almost made me cry, I'm feeling very emotional today! Lovely name.

I don't think mine's coming out, it's going to be another baby detective!

Hoooorrahh MM! So delighted for you! Beautiful name! Well, well done you, you should be very proud of yourself. Look forward to hearing the birth story when you have a minute. Just caught up this morning with last night's posts and it really felt that the ladies were living it with you!!

They've been taunting me for weeks and when I've moaned to dh he's now started a dismissive catchphrase of 'I think you'll know if it's labour' which is really annoying me and I've crossly banned him from saying it again because ffs it could be at some point??!!!

(Pootractions that is)

Oh toomany mine neither and just got emotional too after watching peep show

Yey you got Luna in there! DH's will agree to ANY name you like after watching you labour. I love her name and bet she is totally beautiful. Well done honey. Sleep now and cuddle that precious wee newborn. Jonas can't wait to meet his playmate in January xxxx

Clarella, I've cried real tears this morning watching the video to 'True Colours' by the British Paraorchestra. I had to wipe them off the keyboard!

Oh god don't toomany that actual mental image has made my nose go hot and eyes swell!
