In which we swat away unwanted hands, perform military operations every night to roll over in our sleep, clean the kitchen cupboards for the eleventy billionth time and count down the days to our maternity leave!

@theotherendofthesockportal aww massive congratulations!!! Gorgeous name!! Can’t believe the first baby of the group is here!! ❤️

Congratulations sock! I knew we'd have an October baby but wasn't expecting one quite so soon! Hope that Beatrice is ok and that you're recovering well from the surgery/shock!

Not sure if you're happy to post pictures of your DD but it would be lovely to see her.

And of course you're welcome to stay until we set up our post-natal group! We'll need your tips!

@theotherendofthesockportal congratulations! Lovely news to wake up to. Hope you & Beatrice are doing well. Must have been a bit of a shock for you & DH. Can't believe our first baby is here!

Thank you so much for all the well wishes xxx I will send a photo soon, my parents are away at the moment and haven’t seen a photo. Once they have seen the new addition to the family I will share her with you ladies.

@theotherendofthesockportal wow sick what great news to wake up to! I love the name too and glad you are doing ok. I can’t believe she came early, making my due date 1/11 seem even closer now lol!! So excited for you to have your family around and hopefully the next few days will go quickly and you will get home soon xxx

Ps - of course! you’ve been a November baby all the way through we need your advice and in a post baby support group too!

I meant wow SUCH great news lol!

@theotherendofthesockportal wow congratulations and welcome baby Beatrice (love the name).

Eek I'm 34+ 3 currently so you experiencing baby coming early makes me a little nervous as I still have two weeks left at work.

Hope you're ok. Look forward to seeing her when she's ready for her close up!

Oh and I agree with @lydiangel83 we need all the advice of how those first few weeks go to help prep the rest of us so defo stay in the group xxx

Oh my goodness @sock huge congratulations! Ah our first baby! Welcome lovely Beatrice, what a beautiful name. Looks like you couldn't squeeze in any more antenatal reflexology haha.

So, so happy for you. Hope you are both doing well. Shit is getting real now then! :D xxx

Eek! That's so exciting! Hope you're all doing well. Can't wait to see a photo!

Huge congratulations sock. I'm 35+1 today so can only begin to imagine how surreal it must feel!

Thank you once again everyone. I feel like I’m living in some kind of parallel universe! I have a baby!!! 😱😱😱. Here she is:

I'm so late to the party but I kept missing these threads as they moved into new locations! I was in the original early Nov threads back in the Spring and then lost everyone as the "threads I'm on" seemed to have an expiry date :(

Can't believe we've had our first baby from that original group!!! Congratulations, Sock! :)

I'm 37 weeks on Sunday and can't quite believe I've made it this far.

Will try not to be away from the thread long enough to lose it again! Hi again to anyone who vaguely remembers me!

xxx

Ah @sock she is absolutely scrumptious!! Xx

Hi @stilyaga! The months have flown but the early days feel so long ago. :) x

@theotherendofthesockportal ahhh she is perfect! We kept saying it doesn’t feel real that we are having babies, I wonder at what point it will feel real that you actually have a baby!?? Are you feeling ok? Xx

Oooo sock she's gorgeous!

@theotherendofthesockportal such a gorgeous little face xx

Aww, so cute!

@sock congratulations! She is beautiful, and it's a lovely name. Hope you're all doing well.

Thank you for all the well wishes. I truly am amongst good friends on here!

I have had two explosive nappies already and she pee’d all over my sister and needed an outfit change. She seems to want to start as she means to go on. And I may be biased but she is the best baby, ever - although I can’t really fathom that she is mine!

Congratulations @sock, she is perfect - well done to you!

She really is beautiful sock and sounds like she is making quite an impression already.

Glad you will stay in our group. Just because our due dates are November doesn't mean all our babies will come then.

Can I ask a favour please ladies? If anyone has a Ewan the Sheep could you please send me a pic of the instructions? Our friends have given us theirs but no instructions with it

We have ewan! Haven't opened the box yet but planning to get him out tomorrow (it's a job for DD now she's on school hols!) so will get a pic for you then :)

Thanks @butterybollocks that would be great!
