Congratulations WCL!!!! Also said with tears in my eyes! Reminded me why I was up for two hours last night and now I don't feel so fed up. Am delighted for you and hope it all went as you planned.

So exciting, hope the babies are coming along like (SMALL) buses very soon!

Anyone else have a baby this morning?






































Little boy born at 4.05am, 7lb 4 oz, details to follow

Oooh Creme eggs. My favourite at the moment is Flakes - cannot get enough.

[Emmymummy]

Mmmm plasterboard, I could kind of relate to that. It's got the same kind of appeal as chalk. I think I can understand the appeal (no really). Am trying to confine myself to toothpaste, chewing gum and ice cubes at the moment though, although I'd be in 7th heaven if someone left me in a petrol station right now. Or next to some road re-surfacing (hot tarmac). Yum.

WCL - sounds like you had the model birth, well done to you, am so pleased it all went so well for you. How wonderful that your dcs could wake up and meet their new baby brother.

Creme eggs vs Mini eggs.

Have got to go with Eddas on this one. Its mini eggs all the way for me. Yum diddy yum.
Might have to stock up tomorrow methinks.

[Katy44]

WCL, thanks for letting us know the story. I'm pleased it all went so well and good luck on agreeing a name.
Well, after that busy day I might have an early night

[AngeG]

mmm Petrol stations. I love the smell of petrol...not sure it's good for me though

Just eating a creme egg

[Katy44]

It's 9.45 - thought it was earlier than that!

[Katy44]

Oh, and in the creme egg / mini egg debate I vote for creme eggs - only slightly have the edge though

[Sexonslightlypuffylegs]

Right, am off to bed now. Need all my strength as dh off at the crack of Dawn to Ireland, and not back home until 11.00 pm on Tuesday! Hell!! B will be at preschool, but it is the dreaded bath/bed routine taht I find so hard, and even worse when 8 months pg and bloody uncomfortable! Hey ho. I know loads of you do it on your own every night, so I'll stop whinging.

Sleep well all. I wonder if there will be any birth announcements waiting for us tomorrow morning???

[Emmymummy]

Have gone off chocolate. What's wrong with me? Otherwise I'd be well up for a chocolate challenge .

[Emmymummy]

Where's Ellie this evening? Not like her to be quiet. Maybe..........?

[Eddas]

I went off chocolate with both my pg's in the first 3 months but it has come back with avengence both times and have eaten it non stop for the last few months as i did with dd!!!!!

Am soooo gonna miss it in a few weeks when i really really wanna lose weight. Think that's the 3rd time i've said that, do you think i've convinced myself yet or should i keep trying

[EllieK]

i'm here, you were all too busy talking chocolate eggs to see my post

[Emmymummy]

Aww sorry Ellie. I thought maybe you were busy doing something else!

[Eddas]

I think i'm obssessed sorry Ellie

[Katy44]

mmmm chocolate eggs
I confess - we've had 2 already (it was DH's idea )

[babysopiniontakesover]

Ellie/katy - does this mean we can now officially start an (not sure of the correct terminology) after the ante-natal thread. Post natal thread/births in april typ thread???????????

[EllieK]

on the epidural/bf front, i had an epidural and still had a plentiful supply, loved bf and had no pain, problems, nothing til matthew got so heavy i had to have physio on my shoulders! started to combination feed at about 8 weeks, and i too think nipple confusion is nonsense, plenty of exclusively bf babies take expressed milk from bottles after all.

I really do think you should just go with the flow and see how you get on, if it doesn't work, so what? at least you'll know you tried

and i don't have any bottles or formula ready, tesco is 24 hours so i need it, i'll go get it

when we did switch to formula tho we had real problems with sma, is a very rich formula i'm told

[Eddas]

Off to bed now folks, happy chatting

[Emmymummy]

Eddas, it's fine, we might as well make the most of this last oppurtunity to stuff out faces with whatever we fancy. Like you say, will all be on health-kicks afterwards. Am quite distressed about the bingo-wings I've developed over the last few months through lack of swimming / gym. Not pretty.

[EllieK]

we can start a postnatal thread, buut as there'd only be WCL on it she be a bit lonely

i have updated the Stats tho

[Katy44]

I did wonder when WCL would start the April PN thread - presumably when she has someone else to talk to on it! ooooh.
BTW has anyone noticed there's a Due in December thread?

[Emmymummy]

Katy - December? Noooooo! Can that be right?

[babysopiniontakesover]

Eddas like I said I think counselling is the way forward.

[babysopiniontakesover]

Good thinking ellie I never thought of that. Just looking ahead thats all......Thinking of mini eggs too much anyway.

[EllieK]

i did think about starting one this morning but decided that by the time there's enouugh of us to post on it, we'll have forgotten it's there

and i don't know what you all think but i kinda like the idea of staying here until we've ll popped, otherwise it'll be like splitting in two or trying to follow 2 threads?
