Pleasantly busy here, isn't it?

Morning hags! Sorry you're getting worried about induction etc, frank! And I hate the I'll tell you after birth stories. I am sure the real thing is not half as terrifying as that. Who was the last to possibly need an induction? I remember lots of good experiences a few freds ago. Whichever way turnip turns up, her and your health are the most important! Thinking of you...

On carriers, a link to the one you got frank? And did you carry faithlet in a sling, faif? We're starting to think about this stuff...

On other news I have been up cos I was hungry for a while, but I slept most of the night, so I will be glowing today It's less than three months til due date

Wow shooting still, euro! That sounds brave. By now my exercise is gentle walks around the block...

Thanks Drizz, you lot know I'm a drama llama - I'll gave a wobble about something then a few days later I'm feeling fine again

This is the carrier we bought, we got package which includes the infant insert so you can use it from birth. It is more expensive than others, but can potentially last until they are 4 years old and is more versatile as you can use it in front, on your back or on your hip. I'm also thinking about a sling for using in the house, but I'll see how I get on with the Ergo as that might be just as easy to use inside as well as out and about.

Another lovely sunny day here, so I feel another long walk coming on this morning!

Noks was induced. If you look back to the thread just before she went in, I linked to a great thread all about induction experiences - general consensus seemed to be "not as bad as I was expecting", so might be worth a read to calm your nerves, Frank?

Thanks Draf, I'll go back and have a look.

How irritating bugs. Glad you got away booze free!

Yes I baby carry Faithlet to this day drizz. I started with a stretchy wrap sling from my local sling lady (recommended by queenrollo and pinky ended up buying one too). More recently I purchased a hop-tye sling after trying some at a sling workshop. I liked the ergo but it was a bit too structured for my taste. Also MSB isn't too keen on later baby wearing so I could get what I wanted. If it had been for both of us I'd have probably bought the ergo. I still might. Warning - slings are addictive! :)

Er, someone may want to get on and create a new fred as I think I might be in early labour

Been having some tightenings that have got progressively stronger for the last 2 hours or so, though they're not regular yet. I've also had a bloody show so I think this could be it folks! I'll keep you as up to date as I can.

Eeek frank!!! Good luck, lots of daisy cobra things, mooing like a cow and whatever else you need. Fingers crossed!

I said Monday, bugs! You can't steal it...

How exciting, frank! Massive good luck :)

Frank! Yey! Great news. Will be watching closely.
Ps am awake most of the night anyway so will be around if you need company/distraction

Oooooh cervix watch time. Am passing round the victory cigars for tomorrow and popcorn for tonight. All the best for an uncomplicated birth, can't wait to see turnip on the outside!

Ooh! Exciting stuff, Frank, hope all goes (is going) well and Turnip arrives in a nice calm sneeze :)

good luck Frank! ! I'm going for 6 lb 5 oz at 4 am

Good luck frank! I've been getting lots for bh, but nothing regular... And ghj is away for the week til thurs...

Who's doing the next thread? Frank can't, I did this one. Someone else needs to step up...

I am on my phone, can one of the other June-differs do the honours? Ta!

I didn't say a time... All 24hrs of tomorrow are mine

Hope things are going well, frank!

I am grumpy with a touch of madness. Is this the beginning of third trimester?!?

Quick update, in hospital and 4cm dilated so I'm in for the duration! Hopefully more news in time for the next fred!

I'll do the next fred. Watch this space...

Only 6cm to go, Frank, you're nearly halfway

Good luck frank!

Hope Turnip doesn't give you too much trouble xx

We bought the pram and car seat today . We were going to wait until the next scan but went to a baby show and the deal was too good to pass up! We're now the proud owners of an uppababy vista and maxi cosi cabriofix!

Sending positive vibes Frank

Sounds good, Ginge :) Our house is steadily accumulating baybee stuff now, it's like living in some weird dreamland.

Also: NEW FRED HERE!
