Congratulations Hayle! I am loving the fact that you were being quite blasé about it all earlier with "I told her I will pop in after I've watched Midwives." Grin

Hayle...congratulations on the arrival of baby Isaac David!!! Xxx

PseudoBadger · 24/09/2013 00:40

Bloody hell! I guess it was your waters then :o
Many congratulations xx

kiwee · 24/09/2013 01:18

Wow congratulations hayle!

Good thing you went in when you did Grin

Flyer747 · 24/09/2013 01:25

Congratulations Hayle....welcome baby Isaac, what a fast labour. He certainly didn't fancy waiting until the 13 th Grin. Xx

chickieno1 · 24/09/2013 01:51

Congratulations hayle! Saw the news on FB, didn't know there was all the excitement of waters going etc as hadn't looked at mn all day!! Well done you and welcome to baby Isaac xx

chickieno1 · 24/09/2013 01:55

mon just wanted to give you some Flowers. You've been so strong throughout your pregnancy with all the ups and downs and information to take in. You've also had your other dc to look after which on one hand I'm sure kept you going. It's good you've got a support group before Eliana arrives. It's a difficult decision to make about the sterilisation, maybe you can talk to your consultant obs about it? Also they might have some ideas about other methods of contraception?? Thinking of you xx

chickieno1 · 24/09/2013 02:03

clapham I know what you mean about wanting the house to yourself at this stage. It isn't selfish at all. I agree you should say you need a lie down whenever you need a break from mil or watching her tv shows!

Everyone else who was feeling antisocial I do too.

We're making progress! Cot put up last night, chest of drawers for babies clothes done on sat, buggy will be bought on weds. Need to get car seat and changing mat for bag, any ideas re ones that fold up nicely but are still quite large? Dentist for teeth cleaning tomorrow (thanks rachel), threading on Friday, massage on Friday, waxing next Monday and hair early next week! Phew! I am THE last minute queen :)

I've forgotten everything else.......

Hope you're feeling better notso

Good there's a definite plan kiwee

Hope you're ok now falcon and well done to clever willow for bf!

Thinking of jethro

And good luck tomorrow textbook

Wickedgirl · 24/09/2013 02:25

I've only been away a couple of hours and there's another baby! Huge congratulations Hayle. I hope you're both doing ok.

TheFalconsmistress · 24/09/2013 02:44

Away a few hours and another beautiful bundle arrives congrats hayle!!!!!! Up feeding she ls having both formula and breast but mostly. Boob already not bad since she just started to switch yesterday :)

Haylebop12 · 24/09/2013 03:04

So is my labour a kick up the arse to get those bags packed and last minute jobs done? Grin

Dh gone home to get couple hours kip, get dd to school and get In my parents loft for car seat. Little annoyed that I didn't sort it sooner as its been up there for a year and really could do with a wash!

Isaac is very settled but I'm not, can't stop staring at him. Still no feed, mws said they give them up to 12 hours but he should want to feed between 6 and 8 hours after...? I did put him to the breast about an hour after delivery but he was screaming too much.

Oh and he's 7lb 6. Same as his big sister Smile

moonblues · 24/09/2013 05:27

Wow Hayle. That sure was quick! Congratulations!

Right must pack hospital bag tomorrow! My EDD is 14/10/13, though section on 7/10/13, but you've certainly made me realise it might happen sooner than that and I should get more organised!

Might have to join Facebook, so that I can see all these baby photos. :)

textbook · 24/09/2013 05:28

Wow - congrats Hayle and welcome Isaac ThanksThanksThanks hope he has a good feed soon x

Sanjifair · 24/09/2013 06:16

Wow, hayle that was quick! Wel jel! Many congratulations, and what a good size for 37 weeks. Hope he starts feeding soon.

This is definitely the kick up the arse I needed, I only sorted my bag yesterday and I am the same EDD as you!

Natalieand · 24/09/2013 06:36

Amazing news hayle :-) no point in hanging around I guess and at least u got to watch midwives lol. I see u didn't go with Isaac shark then Grin looking forward go hearing your birth story xx

moon I'm a fellow 14/10 I also haven't finished my hospital bag I really should get more organised. But I really wanna paint dd's bedroom first lol

cherrycherry41 · 24/09/2013 06:39

Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks for Hayle and her sneeze birth, very jealous!!
And btw FAB updates! Will expect all of you lot to do the same when you all pop Wink

JellyCurls · 24/09/2013 07:05

Congratulations Hayle Thanks quick deliveries take more out of the mummies so try to get plenty of rest over next few days. Enjoy your snuggles with baby Isaac

SC at 39+1 and not at all so so jealous of those who already have their bundles

Shirehobbit · 24/09/2013 07:12

Congratulations, Hayle and welcome to Isaac Flowers
I'm not so much jealous, as panicked! Still assuming I'll go over, and too busy at work this week, but it does make it all a little more real.

So SC @37+2 and fx things stay that way for another ten days or so....

HotSoupDumpling · 24/09/2013 07:31

Ahhh congrats Hayle on Isaac's superfast arrival!! I love hearing these stories, makes me want to evict this little one as soon as possible! That said, I love my bump and will miss it.

Had a decent night's sleep but feel even groggier than usual. I need to remember my PF exercises.

BowlFullofJelly · 24/09/2013 07:31

Oh my gosh, huge congrats hayle. I am super jealous of your 37 week quick labour and stylish updates x

Umlauf · 24/09/2013 07:32

I had a feeling I'd wake up to this news! Congratulations Hayle!! Flowers

I'm sure he'll feed soon and he's a really good weight! Isaac very pretty name and goes brilliantly with Amelia! Xx

OrangeBlossom2 · 24/09/2013 07:34

Congratulations Ruby and Hayley! Haven't been able to keep up but after seeing the Facebook thread I had to invest some time this morning reading! (So another day without washing my hair goes by!) super news, wow Hayley, so quick!

Flyer yes I am really thirsty and feel dehydrated no matter how much I drink. Your DP makes me laugh with all his stockpiling!

MoN have you tried the latex free condoms? I think they are called avanti? They are a bit more expensive, I only use them in the two weeks after using thrush cream as that makes normal condoms ineffective. They are meant to be less likely to cause irritations. Not a long term solution for you maybe but a possibility if you decide to wait?

Glad you are doing ok falcon. Hope you are on the mend Tarlia.

Sorry you have had a rubbish time with the house serious stuff. Can you get professional cleaners in to deal with the dust? Not what you want to be dealing with now.

MoN I bought a very thin knee length cotton dressing gown from primark, but it is white which probably isn't ideal. Cost £5 or something. More bought for shoving on when I get out of the birth pool. If it is cold by the time this baby makes an appearance I will bring my big fleecy one in the car, though it doesn't protect my modesty any more!

Yay on the moving placenta textbook. Hopefully it makes the c section more straightforward.

I missed your post umlauf but seems you had a car accident? Are you ok? I can't believe how common this seems to be, a few ladies here have had accidents in pregnancy. I hope all is well.

I don't want an epidural and will probably have the baby in the MLU, hopefully in the pool. Although last night I had a major panic about DH having to leave me outside visiting hours or if they think it will be a while and that really worries me. The last two times I was in hospital (non pregnancy related) and he was sent away I went into meltdown. When he is there I am calm and my pain, blood pressure and temperature were lower. I am seriously considering home birth again which we discounted a few months ago as DH was worried about risks and journey time if something went wrong. Going to discuss with MW on Friday when we discuss birth plan and see in what circumstances husbands are sent home. DH is going to come with me.

Argh in fact it might have to be a no shower at all day today. Have to go to work. Have a good day all!

OrangeBlossom2 · 24/09/2013 07:34

Ps good luck with the inspection shire

thethreeblondies · 24/09/2013 07:38

Congratulations Hayle I did see the news on a loo trip in middle of night, but didn't trust myself to post half asleep! Yes your news has most definitely made me plan a mass tidy up today (there's a tent up in the nursery/playroom from girls playing camping on sunday!)

And agree with cherry you have set the bar very high with regards to updates! We will expect the same from everyone now! Grin
