Hi all I hope no-one minds but I thought I would start a new one... we are having broadband put in (DP has convinced me that I will be able to spend more time on the phone that way ) but still on dial up now so things were getting rather slow on the other thread!

Things OK here. Thought I would do another list to start off the thread in the right way.... looking towards the end!! I've decided that next tuesday would fit in really rather nicely with all my plans, just need baby to agree!! I'm going to try and not expect him to come before due date really, then I may be pleasantly surprised, and if not, I will be fully entitled to moan and whinge. My ankles really can't take much more. They are about the size of my upper calf and that isn't an exageration!

Just enjoyed my first cup of raspberry leaf tea... not all that bad, but then I have drunk all sorts of strange concoctions from places like neal's yard in my time! So now I've drunk that, labour should be iminent, right?!

Hopefully am going to get my hair done this week with the deposit money (if we get it!) from our old flat... I haven't had my haircut since May . Been trying to let it grow as much as possible, but its been a really slow process. Might have some highlights done too. I've figured I might as well have something about me looking nice, as I don't think anything else will post birth! I have stretchmarks now on my bum, hips, thighs, calves, and really badly on my boobs. Stomach thus far has escaped, but it's these last four weeks which I've heard can really do the damage. Oh well.

Anyway I'll stop my waffling and leave you all in peace! I don't think I've missed anyone on the list, but definately have a pregnancy brain... got stuck half way upside down off the sofa earlier looking for the used lid of my yoghurt pot. I eventually found it in the empty yoghurt pot besides me. Oh dear! Don't think it was a particularly pretty site for DP to be looking at!

Congratulations to you all. Not been around much as busy with two children, but I'm really chuffed that you all have had safe deliveries!! Enjoy your DDs/DSs

No sign of Bronze...she posted a couple of times on the Dec thread but has been quiet for a bit, so I think her time has come at last!

Nice to hear from you PandaBear, hope it's going well.

Congrats to Bronze on the birth of James.

By my reckoning and I havent read down the list of names properly, but I think there is only Pot Pourri and Squigglesmum to go?????? Any others I have forgotten about??

Hello All,

So happy to announce the birth of our baby girl Saskia Irene. Sorry it's a late posting but hardly find time to go online these days.

On the day that I was to be induced (23 Nov) my labour started. Was hoping for a natural labour and water birth. The pool however was slowing down my labour and I just wasn't dilating and progressing even after 15 hours. I was so exhausted I opted for the epidural and the midwives gave me and my husband 1 1/2 hours of blessed sleep before introducing the oxytocin. An hour after administrating the oxytocin our baby girl was born.

Woo hoo... no stiches.

When I came home from hospital mum had cleaned the house and put dinner on the table. Bless her! Could not have done without her help the last two weeks. Sadly she flies back to Australia on Sunday.

Thanks for your labour vibes ladies and belated congratulations to all the new mums.

congratulations Smile Smile Smile Banksia. i know how you feel about mum flies back to ozzy as my mum went to live in France 3 wks after my baba was born (she had been planning to live in France for the past 3 yrs), but we keep in touch everyday with the webcam and letters...
