Hi everyone - sorry this is so quick and not had a chance to catch up on everyone...

Ethan Christopher Loy was born on Friday 31st October at 3:41pm at home in a birth that was just amazing. He's an angel and wonderful - birth story soon
xx

Hooray for you GWTMH!! Congratulations! And you made it in October Enjoy him!

Congratulations GWTMH! How heavy?

A boy for me born on 1st November at 00.30 so missed Halloween by 30 mins!

Birth announcement here for those who like the gore and stats

Thrilled to have a boy, just for a change of colour scheme. His big sisters are LOVIN him, he is the best toy they have ever had and the 4 year old is actually really helpful at rocking him to sleep.

Wayyyyy wayyyy wayyyy up on cloud 9, see you on the otherside.......

Sure you will have a baby by now Smudgey.

Pepperrabbit, yes same age kids! My mum is here for a fortnight to ease me into it am going to enjoy the Babymoon and wait for the chaos to kick in when she goes!

Good luck to those ladies still in waiting.

This is your moment.......

Congrats Jambers, GWMH - you made it in October. We're with you Flum (congrats) with a little baby girl (8lb 2oz) born on 1st Nov at 11.40pm. Only got to hospital just after 9pm and had her in the pool. No name as yet. Home now (well was yesterday afternoon) and she slept from about 3pm til 7pm and now been screaming since 11pm. I think i've had 1 hour sleep - tell me again why we thought this was a good idea!!!!!

congrats smudgey!
I'm up bfing, thinking of you
congratulations!

OOh star. So glad someone on line. How's it going? This little lady has been BF for so many hours already I'm sure she's on a mission to get my milk going by dawn. Nips getting a bit sore though She does seem to be settled now so might try going back to bed. 'See' you in the morning!

Congratulations Flum and Smudgey - so pleased your little ones are here safely.

Looks like I get the 'prize' for being last as I'm going in to be induced tomorrow....

Congratulations Smudgey .

Not many left now, and sure that some of these ladies must have delivered but forgotten to tell us....

Good luck sallypuss BIG prize to you for selflessly allowing others to have their babies before you

Sorry Sallypuss I think that prize will be mine...5 days overdue now and I'm really miserable.

sorry you are feeling miserable.. hope its not too much longer for you

congrats flum and smudgey

labour vibes to those waiting, it wont be long now honeymoonmummy Phoebe was born 6 days overdue so maybe tomorrow is the day for you

Hi honeymoon and Sallypuss (and anyone else still waiting) AandMsmum - I wonder if you managed to get your LO to come round your childcare!
Good luck tomorrow Sallypuss. Guess you won't be long either Honeymoon. I would have been induced today if she hadn't put in an appearance so hopefully your LO will get a move on too. Won't be long until you have your LO all snuggled up on the outside!

Thanks all, will let you know how it goes.

Star6 - selfless to the last, that's me .

Honeymoon hope you avoid the dreaded induction * sending you good labour vibes.

Any news???? Just thought I'd add myself to all the people who are probably phoning those of you left. Honeymoon when is your date for induction? Hope you, Sallypuss and anyone else still waiting are nearly there with your LO.

Brilliant the babies are nearly all here. Come along ladies in waiting, not much longer for you.

Seriously, get some sleep

Hello ladies, just checking in!
Hope it's sooo quiet on here cos you're all busy pushing!

its very quiet here....... whats happening????

I did some searching and it looks like mishkamoo and boolean had their babies ages ago. Are you still with us ladies and want to give us some details, or shall I scrap you from the list?
