Cool!

EllieK · 25/03/2007 22:27

matthew is going to be aa little sod

you can already see him working out just how much he can blame on his brother

octopussyinyummyeastereggs · 25/03/2007 22:28

AngeG - more uncomfortable than anything - think is starting to settle a bit - going to try to sleep again!

AngeG · 25/03/2007 22:29

Night then Octo. Hope you sleep well. xx

babysopiniontakesover · 25/03/2007 22:30

Yeh it will hurt loads and will get worse every hour. Paracetemol won't touch it and the contractions get closer and closer. I'm hoping for a quick labour this time.

Well done on your bargains ellie....

EllieK · 25/03/2007 22:31

1 cardi

1 tee

1 hat (so cute)

swim pants

3 romper suit thingys

4 footless sleepsuits

1 wee-willie-winkie style night gown

trousers, tee and gilet set

EllieK · 25/03/2007 22:32

so if anyone can use lilac sheets, email me!
the cream ones were worth the money i paid so you can have them for free, matthew has already told me it's a boy so he can't use them

AngeG · 25/03/2007 22:33

Thanks opinions. Hopefully nothing will happen before the 4th and I won't have to worry about it.

babysopiniontakesover · 25/03/2007 22:37

Your welcome!! Thats all from me folks..........goodnight sleep tight everyone....lets see who's dropped by the morning?????????????

AngeG · 25/03/2007 22:38

Night opinions. I'm off to bed now too. Hope everyone sleeps well. Night Night xx

oooggs · 25/03/2007 22:38

Night all - I'm shattered - can we manage at least one baby every 24 hrs

Birdiebump · 25/03/2007 22:39

I also recommend Aptimil - very good for top-up feeding.

I want all that chocolate! Buying Easter eggs etc. for all next week and must not be tempted to eat them while I'm home alone......

Lovely birth for WCL and she sounds so happy.....

Ellie - I'm having a little girl who will be using a moses basket, for which I have no bedding so I will email you.

Octo - will be checking in in the morning - are we going to have a baby a day??

Night night!

EllieK · 25/03/2007 22:44

i'll look out for it birdie

EllieK · 25/03/2007 22:47

well, that's sorted, WeeOnion and Birdie, they'll be in the post tomorrow!

claricebean · 25/03/2007 23:01

Blimey - it was 55 messages when I last looked. Many congrats WCL.
Have I missed any more? Off to read thread now.

Have been to bed but can't get comfy, so up again. V bad habit to start.

YvieE · 25/03/2007 23:01

CONGRATULATIONS WCL - I'm sitting here in front of the PC with the biggest smile on my face - glad that the labour and delivery went well - the real excitement is now beginning. Like the rest of the ladies your birth story has made things a bit more real and I definitely need to sort out my hospital bag this week and somewhere for the baby to sleep.
Hope 1B3 is ok
How are you Ooogs?
Octo could you be next? Fingers crossed for you x

Tili · 25/03/2007 23:42

just a quick pop in to say a huge congrats to WCL and your family on the safe arrival of LO. It was a lovely birth story Im really pleased that it all went to plan

I am slightly though

Midwife came today baby has turned to head down YAY!! but I have to see her again next week to check again as this is my second and he hasnt gone into the pelvis yet so there is a slight possibility he could turn arond again.Please everyone send this baby "head down at all times" vibes!! I am hoping that now he is head down he has seen the exit and thought to himself that he may appear slightly early like in another 2 weeks

Oh well off to bed night all see you tomorrowxx

octopussyinyummyeastereggs · 26/03/2007 00:55

Where is the f'ing contraction timer link when you need one or EllieK to linkit for me??!! Still having regular contractions - dh gone to sleep - can't get comfy or to sleep so come downstairs for hot choc and hope change in position will determine whether real or false labour! Now about every 5 minutes but still not sure - am going to use mn clock for abit - oooh there comes one now 12.53 ...

IsabellyMoi · 26/03/2007 01:02

Congratulations WCL!! So glad everything went so well. Enjoy your sweet little boy.

All eyes are on you now, Octo!!

Hugs to 1B3 and Oogs. 1B3 - I hope next time you go to the hospital you get a totally different experience and some very considerate staff who see you promptly. Your experience the other day was horrendous.

I've had a busy weekend (NCT classes all day Friday and Saturday - very worthwhile), went to Mamma Mia on the Friday night, went for a 4 hour walk with DH today! You'd think I'd be able to sleep but - no - it is 1 a.m. and I'm messing around on MN!

Hope for your sakes no one else is up with insomnia. Sweet dreams everyone!

IsabellyMoi · 26/03/2007 01:03

Tili - forgot to say 'hurrah!' that your baby has turned!!

octopussyinyummyeastereggs · 26/03/2007 01:05

Every 4 minutes now - lasting about 1 minute
