They told me just to call them whenever I wanted to come in .... which is exactly what I thought they would say .....

Still feel a fraud; but guessing I should call in the in-laws and let them sleep here instead of waking them at Stupid O'Clock .....

Congrats to Maveta, Katy and CharNBump. Love the names - esp Noah - I wanted Noah if ours is a boy but mean dh vetoed it.

Captain Dippy - fingers crossed this is it for you!

And sending massive labour vibes to everyone else left, my due date is tomorrow - what do you think the chances of anything happening are??? Haha - slim to none I know! I fear I shall be the last one left...

xxxx

Emmymummy · 29/04/2007 06:21

Morning.....can't sleep, no action here.....

Any news from CD? Presumably as it's all gone quiet she went into the birthing centre and is having / has had her baby. I really hope so .

Bumble - I bet you won't be the last, as I feel that honour is going to be taken by me! I think I'm still going to be pregnant in June. That's June 2008 BTW.

Sexonknackeredlegs · 29/04/2007 07:50

HURRAH!!!!

Congratulations Katy, Maveta and Char - wonderful news and lovely names all round!

Lots of love to everyone else still waiting - bring it on!

xx

Katy44 · 29/04/2007 07:56

Morning! Hope this is it CD!
well better go and so breakfast!

muminasaggytummy · 29/04/2007 07:57

CaptainDippy · 29/04/2007 07:57

Morning! Well, so much for that ......

Went to bed about midnight and fell asleep straight away - was sooooo knackered.....Woke up about 2am and nothing ..... no contractions ... nothing ....

Seems my body was just teasing me .....

Un "bloody" believable.

I am absolutely gutted.

At least we're stil together doing the "waiting thing", eh, Emmymummy!!?

Just seems so weird. I was so sure this was it. When I went into labour with DD1, I started having contractions and it just happened from there .....

Bum.

Right, chin up ...... need to have shower and get ready to face another day ......

CaptainDippy · 29/04/2007 07:58

Thanks for all your lovely messages etc last night / this morning btw guys - Really appreciated - You are lovely!

MaryBS · 29/04/2007 07:58

Morning CD! So, you're still with us!

CaptainDippy · 29/04/2007 07:59

'Faid so, Mary! Hey! What you doing on our Antenatal Thread, you cheeky mare!!!!

sauce · 29/04/2007 08:17

following lots of threads but can't find any news on maveta... anyone, please?

Emmymummy · 29/04/2007 08:29

CD - can't believe it didn't happen for you last night - I really thought that was IT . How are you feeling this morning, any more contractions? It'll kick off again when you're on church and you'll sit there going ouch ouch owwww!

Sauce - Maveta had a little boy called Noah at 2pm yesterday. We haven't had all the details yet, but apparently it was a bit drawn out.

MaryBS · 29/04/2007 08:41

How else am I supposed to find out what you're up to, if you don't tell us! (anyway, I'm stalking you... )

heidle · 29/04/2007 09:21

morning everyone (well, the 2 or 3 of you that are keft vying for last place with me)

congrats to char and to katy - am very happy for you both, but I might just cry for myself! I want it to come out now!!!!!!!!
ds1 has just looked at the emoticons, and said 'which one's the bored face mummy?, that's what you need coz you are bored aren't you?' bless him

CaptainDippy · 29/04/2007 09:37

Bless your DS heidle, what a sweetie!

I know, Emmy, I can't believe it either .... am hoping it was the beginning of something though ..... feeling a bit teary and just completely gutted. Really thought I would be holding my little one by now.

Just called the Birthing Centre and they said this sort of thing happens a lot with third babies. Sigh.

Girls are tired today, got up pretty early - therefore, grumpy and screamy and yuk ..... Pants. Hoping they will have a good sleep after church and I can wallow in self pity for an hour or so .....

Hey Mary - I did post on the Prayer Thread too ..... I would never leave you guys out!! xx

heidle · 29/04/2007 09:42

it's my 3rd to CD, so I have stop start to look forward to as well as a long wait for anything at all? oh great!
I know just what you mean about expecting your baby to be here by now, my brain just can't cope with the fact it's nearly may!

am going to bake some choc chip muffins with ds1 and ds2 and see if being on my feet will help (if not then the cakes themselves might just )

kids are being really lovely and sweet. they've played together so well and quietly this morning, I got a big lie in but I STILL feel teary! am not even going to hope that this might be a sign, pah!

ah bless, they've both got their little aprons on that say 'mummy's little helper' that's it, I'm def going to cry now!!!!

later!

CaptainDippy · 29/04/2007 09:46

Lucky you with your lie-in and your sweet children heildle -

Right - girls screaming again .... off to church ....

zazas · 29/04/2007 10:17

Just wanted to say a quick hi to CD and Emmymummy who are waiting!!!!! Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. My 10 days of 'overdueness' were so drawn out and every morning I would wake and be so upset that nothing had happened when I thought tonight is the night!! It must be that third baby thing! The threat of induction and loads of positive thoughts to the baby to come - seemed to be what kicked me off - as the pineapple / curry / walks / sex / etc etc etc seem to do nothing!

Keep positive as we will be seeing you on the otherside very soon with that precious newborn in your arms!
