no1putsbabyinthecorner · 09/08/2008 09:49

I am sat here munching on my raw carrot again, although fancy something sweet today i think.
Sister got lots of lovely plums from france so might google some recipes.

oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 09:49

No1 My reflexology lady refuses to do the proper baby poking until you are post 39 so I have had 2 preparation sessions then one more on Friday next week and the following Tuesday she will do proper baby poking - she reckons after the proper session which is apparently far from relaxing, thinks should happen in the following 24/48 hours providing your body is ready.

TS Waxing is NO FUN at the best of times but with what DH calles a marshmallow fanjo it could be decidedly unfun!

oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 09:50

OOOHH Plums - Plum and marzipan tart is amazing my favorite. mmmm

TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 09:54

Agree, waxing no fun at best. I feel like a true naturalist these days though in regards to that. Can't make myself go since WTF I'm just giving birth and not modeling for Vogue. I can't see down there anyway... LOL I do however make sure my hair is rolled each day in the hopes I look nice in the first baby pictures (if they every happen).

OP posts:
TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 09:56

No1, with the amount of carrots you're eating...are you gaining a carrot suntan yet? Carrot juice and rays.....Jimmy Buffet's golden standard.

OP posts:
no1putsbabyinthecorner · 09/08/2008 09:56

OH I adore marzipan could eat it from the block. Dont suppose you have the recipe for that.

Re waxing Bikini line, mmm.... awkward position trying to balance mirror so I could see where strips were going.
In the end just used epilator and guessed
sorry prob TMI

I 37 weeks today (thankfully reached the milestone for HB)
So maybe she will be gentle for first session then. Although she looked at me and said your never going to go 3 week.

sarahnh · 09/08/2008 09:57

Morning Ladies,

Well i am in the depths of depression today ...

thought things were going somewhere yesterday.. contractions started 10 minutes apart and by 8pm were every 2 1/2 minutes... got childcare sorted and went to hospital... pains still coming thick and fast but was coping so well except for the shivers... after being at hospital for nearly two hours, they finally examined me and i was only 1 1/2 centimetres and cervix still thick so they sent me home .. a rough night pains coming and going so now in a state of limbo..

dh was fantastic.. he has just gone to pick dd up... i feel like such a failure....

sorry for the me post...

so glad edward is doing well vg big hugs

thanks for the tea and toast sassleA.. feeling too down to eat anything at the mo but i'm sure that will change xxxx

TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 09:57

Back to bed for me.

Have a wonderful day ladies.

Wake me when the birth announcements start rolling in.

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 09/08/2008 09:58

pmsl TS Mw said oh thats ok you go ahead and eat them just let poor baby come out orange
Keep checking skin daily for the orange tinge
Never have I craved anything so badly.
just noticed I only got two left, must venture out soon.

TwilightSurfer · 09/08/2008 09:59

SARAH {{{HUGS}}} You are not a failure!! We are going through the exact same thing. I even considered going to maternity last night. We will just in the end have the quickest births on the planet!!!! Now REST!

(Swishes in shaking head) do you like my bright red forehead from waxing??? All trimmed and hair free. Girl doing wax even gave non waxable bikini areas a scissor trim as I had mentioned DH's bad attempts ( and the fact that a man near my fanjo with scissors scared me)

No1 - it's an ever so simple cheat recipe - line a pie/cake tin with ready rolled shortcrust pastry, brush the bottom with beaten egg (stops the bottom going soggy) then grate a block of marzipan into the pie dish making an even layer, top with plums (cut in half and stoned) sprinlke a little sugar over plums bake at 180 C(160 C fan oven)for 25-30 mins until pasty edge is golden brown - marzipan should have melted into plums and made a yummy pastry filling. If not looking done give it another few mins.

Sarah You are not a failure - you and TS have managed to stay remarkably perky through this whole thing!!!!!

Sazzles yummy popcorn ( I ate 3 bags yesterday ) DH having a nesting moment so I thought I'd stay out of his way!

cyteen · 09/08/2008 12:23

Morning all,

Huge congratulations to BabiesEverywhere on the birth of her gorgeous (and massive!) DS Excellent work.

Commiserations to sarahnh, that sounds truly miserable. Don't feel a failure though, your body is obviously doing what it needs to do for right now - your LO will be here before you know it

Been a productive morning in the cyteen house: got up and did a mega shop of all the useful stuff people tell you to stock up on. DP went deal-crazy and we are now brimful of toilet paper, teabags, tins of stuff, freezer stuff, toothpaste, shower gel...also got my 'welcome home' fizz, so I'm a happy girl

Then we went up to the birth centre and got booked in! I'm really ready to go now - bags are packed, paperwork's done, we know the route and the next time we speak to them it'll be because something's happening I'm actually quite excited, would be happy for baby to arrive soon.

Hope you're all having lovely Saturdays, it's lashing down rain here so an afternoon of sofa, tea and reading the paper beckons...

pertelote · 09/08/2008 13:18

Hello, all.

Mr pertelote here: Marianne Alice born 17:15 08/08/08 after a difficult labour; mother and baby both well, but recovering in hospital (from 3rd degree tear).

Best wishes to all!

oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 13:30

CONGRATULATION Perlote and MrPerlote What a lovely name - and our 080808 Baby - we knew there had to be at least one!

oopsacoconut · 09/08/2008 13:34

OOOOH sorry Mr Pertelote - very bad spelling on my side!

Congratulations Babieseverywhere
another board whopper! Had missed your anouncement on the Birth Announcement folder.
