I'm with you on the 'feeling a bit sad about the last time' thing petitfilou. Except, with living in rural Ireland nobody assumes that I'm going to stop at three never mind two ...

I keep reminding myself what those evil early weeks of being pg were like to keep things in perspective.

DH announced tonight that the baby looks ready to him and he's all set for the go now. So the 'in denial', cranky DH of recent days is gone and normal service is resumed. Hurrah!

I feel a bit sad about these being the last days with my two 'as they are' aswell. It's just so hard to imagine that the new baby will inspire as much love as they do. VG's post was very inspiring in that regard.

God this baby is looooowwwww ....

Sibh · 08/08/2008 22:15

BTW, did Sarahnh post today or might we have acquired an 8/08 baby and just not know it yet?

Evening all. Surely we must have got an 080808 baby out there, and just don't know it yet?

I am soooooooo grumpy, I haven't got a good word to say about anyone or anything. So I won't stay long .

Probably to do with PIL having a 'holiday' nearby for the last week. Kinda surprised that they didn't leave it another couple of weeks so they could just happen to be in the area when the baby comes. I normally manage my life quite well thank you with them living 2/3 hours away and it's just been every other day this week, taking DS out 'so Mummy can have a rest' when I don't need one and DS only comes back so wound up that it's exhausting dealing with him. And I have to feed them. Grrrrr. They go home tomorrow thank god.

As MIL was leaving tonight she said 'Oooh well the next time I see you...' and I just wanted to shout 'BYE BYE' and slam the door. LEAVE ME ALONE! I then had a protracted conversation with DH about how he shouldn't be too keen to inform them that the baby has arrived as I don't want them jumping into the car immediately. And I don't want them knowing I'm in labour. MIL is trying to weedle her way in to being the person on call to look after DS while I'm in labour, even though I've organised plenty of local back up and it's really not going to help having to wait 3 hours for them to turn up. She just has to feel needed and in the thick of it. GRRRRRR.

OK I REALLY have nothing nice to say so I should probably say nothing at all.

Night night peeps, hope you all get some sleep...

miamla · 09/08/2008 00:05

just a quick one to say i met Emmeline today and she is beautiful. preg1 doing really well and we're meeting at 6am for a jog tomorrow

hmm one of those statements wasn't true!

i'm sooo tired, hoping to tank Theo up in a minute to see if we can get a bit more sleep tonight but i won't be holding my breath

night all

LadyOfWaffle · 09/08/2008 00:07

DD1 is all scabbed over and virtually all cleared up, should be gone by Monday now I reckon. DD2 hasn't come out in any spots yet but that's not to say she's not got the virus just not come out in spots yet ... just keeping a close eye on her.

So are we doing anything nice this weekend ?

oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 09:32

Sazzles no thanks on the Piles. I had to read that twice to make sure I wasn't going nuts.

Off for what DH calls a top to toe! haircut eyebrows, ladygarden and legwax - If it hurts enough it may bring on labour not sure that's a good thing today or not?

Reflexology last night was amazing she pressed some baby buttons and caused some mild contractions but nothing serious - a couple of paracetamol and bed to myself helped on the sleep front. She also worked on the lower bowel area (sorry for all those eating breakfast) and that is something that didn't need any help!!!!

Was going to do garedening today but surprise surprise it's RAINING!

TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 09:39

Oops sounds like a wonderful day. I could use a little of the beauty work myself. Oh well, maybe after. Have fun!

I am ok just tired and uncomfortable. Thank god sister and my neighbour are back of their holidays.Had enough of house and pet sitting.
My conservaory is up and almost finished. Dh just got to paint it and floor going down next week.
Also most importantly blinds need to be sorted as dont fancy selling tickets to neighbours watching me give birth in there.

I am no domestic goddess but just want house back to normal and clean.

OOPS I have my first reflexology session booked in for monday, really looking forward to it, although she said last two ladies she did had their baby the next day

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 09/08/2008 09:46

I epilated legs,underarm and bikini line ( with great difficulty) the other day. Sister in law came and waxed my eyebrows and did my hair, so feeling a little better.
Sister has just offered to handwash all baby stuff ready as I was going to put them in washer and she insisted they must be hand washed. She loves doing this. bless her.
