Due in April 2007 - follow the light babies, follow the light ............ there's a stealth polar bear at the end!

[EllieKthePA]

in case you're wondering, Katy44 is the Polar Bear

Well in that case it's probably not much of a threat! Your car? Sofa?

Awwww, maveta - that is lovely - STOP IT - I have two girls already .....

"They do not need more pretty clothes. They do not need more pretty clothes....."

Ooh, does your DH have any electrical equipment my waters could break over? DH would be devastated if anything happened to his new speakers!

Car's a shit heap that needs replacing. Don't own a sofa.

Keep trying ......

Mmmmm, not sure - I'll ask ....

[stage whisper] Over her computer Katy.. think woman, THINK!

Well that's going to be an interesting question to explain the background!
-Do you have anything you wouldn't want my virtual friend's waters breaking over?
-Erm, what?

I think he'd be pretty upset if you gushed over his beloved GameCube.

I, on the otherhand, would be absolutely delighted.

Bring it on .....

Keep trying .....

maveta you're a genius! Of course!

We already have it covered [smug]

Obviously I'm not really up to travlleing so I will have to post my waters to you in a waterproof jiffy bag and you will have to PROMISE to tip the contents over your PC!

HOW THICK ARE WE!!!!!?

Now, if you threatened to come and gush on my computer so I couldn't go on MN, THAT would be a real threat ......

Only just seen maveta's post ....

DH wants to use computer and he is getting agitated .... he just said: "You're talking crap to people who don't really exist."

HOW very dare he!!!!!!!!!?

Going to go and sit on him and squash him flat then read my book for a wee while .... "See" you later ...

.... and if he tries to post to you while I am gone - give him some PG hormones ....

I exist!!
(But I can kind of see what he means!!)

Maveta, Katy, you two still threatening to queue jump? I was due on Tuesday, it's not fair!

I managed to sleep reasonably for once, though with regular interruptions, particularly at 5 am when an alarm clock which has run down decided to come back to life and wake me up. It took a while for me to remember that I needed to do more than put it on snooze!

My new mobile, ordered yesterday, arrived at 8.30 am, fortunately I heard the knock just in time to run down and sign for it. But I think Mike's going to have to help me learn to operate it - phone numbers, texts, camera, music phone, the lot. I'm good with computers but mobiles really daunt me.

HEY! I totally exist! Humpf.

Hi Elkiedee - I wouldn´t pay much attention to Katy and I, all signs seem to have stopped so it was probably all a storm in a teacup which will flare up again at - oooh - about midnight tonight? Just enough to keep us up all night and knackered the next day, you know.. besides for me it would only be like a teeny little queue nudge cos I was due yesterday..

Not heard from Emmymummy.. what is she doing [suspicious]

Had the MW visit this morning for third attempt at a sweep - and not only did she manage it, but she found that I am 2-3 cms dilated!!!!!!!! With DS, I was well into established labour before getting any dilation at all. This time, so far, just period-type cramps and stuff; did have a show yesterday. So it looks like I might go into labour by the weekend, and so avoid the consultant appointment on Monday!! Oooh, wish me luck.

And vibes and luck to all you others waiting.

40+4

Good luck and labour vibes Bugmum!

I know maveta, shall we go and be virtual somewhere else???

Oi elkie, I was due last Monday

Sorry Katy, you're ahead of me then. takes a step back. But you'll probably all be ahead of me.

I was pretty annoyed this morning because my dad rang up to ask how I'm coping. Well, I'm fed up but I don't want him to come round when I'm on my own, I find it's much better with Mike here to make tea and conversation.

My mum and my boyfriend are lovely, but I find my dad a bit trying, he makes me feel fussed. He announced he was leaving my mum shortly before I was born, and we've always been in touch, but I was shocked to discover after I got pregnant how I feel about that. I was my mum's first baby and I think Mikey was startled by some of the fears that were coming out.

I think we'll need to invite my dad round at the weekend...

Oh elkie! It sounds as though he's (your dad) is trying to make up for that but suffocating you in the process!
I know what you mean about having other people there - sometimes it's nice just to zone out and listen to the conversation going on around you rather than feeling you have to be a part of the small talk.

Katy/Maveta, have just read your is this it thread, how frustrating! Hope we'll all get our babies turning up soon...

Lots of labour vibes for you Bugmum! And all of us, in fact...

Elkiedee - I can imagine you would have all sort of weird feelings rearing their head that you´d never given much time to before. My Dad similarly ´fusses´ and makes me feel a bit suffocated sometimes aswell.. so I know how you feel on that score.

I feel really disheartened by people saying it´s normal to go through this for a few weeks before giving birth. I know it´s true and it´s best to be prepared but I think it´ll really wear me down if that´s the case..
