Due May 09-Weddings,Inductions,Births & C-Sections - Its all going on this month!

[Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa]

Here we go lasses

WOW! emmalinac huge CONGRATULATIONS!!! Well done you and big hugs to you all. I've updated the list with your fantastic news.

jael fantastic news that it's not mini strokes and at least they can treat the migraines with medication... fingers crossed they do ease off or at best disappear altogether after your cs.

Looby has given the go ahead for me to upload the picture she sent to my mobile to our facebook group and let everyone know her lo's name.. She was asking if anyone else had had their babies so i'm off to text her about emmalina and let her know. Matilda is still in the scbu but hopefully for not much longer. The picture is on fb now if you want to see here

I hope i manage a successful vbac... although the thought of it being just 2hrs freaks me out as it will take us 50mins to take our ds to his aunties and another 15 mins to get to the hospital... if everything goes that quick i'll either still be in the car or unexpectedly having the home birth i planned to have with ds last time!!!!

I am dreading tomorrow, especially Pizza Hut (I really hate Pizza Hut ).

I have eaten loads of crap today in preparation, lots of sugar and fat........just to send my blood-sugar crashing tomorrow and make me extra grumpy

Oh and as for DH spoiling me, he's just texted to say he's going to be late tonight, so I'm guessing he won't be in until after 9. He went in extra early today (guess who had to get up and make him a cup of coffee very early this morning?), so he wouldn't have to work late . Oh, and I took his lunch in to him (with 2 cakes I'd bought for him and his mate), which he'd forgotten.

Grumpy your posts always make me laugh, evil grumpy, lol . You're too good for your dh. I never get up early with mine to make him a cup of tea, I'm too lazy. But then he wouldn't get up with me when I'm on an early shift, so like for like I say.

Aah, it's lovely to have my mum here. She's currently mopping the kitchen floor...

Oh my god. What a lot happens on here in a day!

Congratulations Emmalinac. Beautiful name and what a fab story. Well done you!

jael glad you are home now. Thank your OH for keeping us updated on your behalf. Not sure I could trust my DH to do that!! Not long now for you.

V jealous of pula and mathewsbump with their centre parcs visit. I love it there.Never thought I would but with kids its just a fab place and of course, the spa is out of this world!

Spent 4 hours (yes 4 hours) at a new soft play centre today! DS had a fab time as went with about 6 of his little pals and apart from a couple of minor incidents, it was pretty relaxing for me! Comfy chairs, nice coffee, maybe a cake or two and a happy DS.

DH has to work tomorrow morning and am really struggling to do much active with DS now ( hence the soft play with lots of pals). Think we will have to go to the local park. Again. May go and annoy DH at work - its an "open day" so he's kind of going to sit there and see if anyone has any questions about the legal side of Home Information Packs. He hates them, as does everyone involved in them so I don't imagine he is going to have a fun morning. Perhaps I could go into labour to liven things up!

grumpy I hope your dh appreciated the cakes and makes it up to you for working late.. your posts also always make me lol and smile.

looby has just sent me another photo.. as soon as dh is off the laptop I'll upload it to fb too

Emmalina's lo is absolutely gorgeous. She looks bigger than her 6lbs and a bit too.

Exciting news - Just been on facebook and on Reggiee's status it says "Reggiee would like to introduce baby Ben, born yesterday, 7lb 8. All going well :-)"

So guess she's been very busy

Belgian where are the photos of Emmalina's LO?

pula There's one on the secret f/b page in the photo's section.

Oh, I've just been on F/B and didn't see the Reggie status. That's soooooo exciting.

Reggie A big congrats from me. Good to hear everything's well. We'd all been wondering how you were doing!

Gosh, it's a late April baby boom. I want one too!!!!

I've just discovered I'm not f/b friends with Reggie, so of course I didn't see her status update. I think I'm getting a bit confused with who I've already added and who I haven't. I'll have to sort that out some time soon. Don't want to miss any more news

Hi all! Thanks for your kind thoughts - back home this afternoon.

CONGRATS LOOBY and EMMA
Looby - we were mooing at the same time .

Will give full labour story at some point, but key points are it was bloody quick. Woke up c 2.45am with marginal pains 6 mins apart;an hour later they were every minute. Got to hospitalv 10cm dilated at 5.10am and Ben was born at 5.48am. Shame about the ventouse, episiotomy, and tear, but the end product is gorgeous and fast asleep in my arms .

reggiee, huge congrats and welcome to Ben !

reggiee- wow that was quick! At least you made it to the hospital...could have been interesting in the back of the car!

YAY! congrats to reggie and ben

Belgian and pula... are you confusing the photo of looby's little girl i uploaded to fb earlier with reggie's announcement? or am i just having a bad baby brain moment and missing baby bens picture?

i've just uploaded to our fb group the latest photo Looby sent of matilda rose at 1day old here

reggie how great that you're home already and hope you're not too sore down below [wince]

I'm starting to get very at the flurry of babies arriving now.... i'm at 37wks so prob have ages to go yet! anyone else really too?

Thanks all

Off to bed soon, but will return tomorrow to read the last couple of days posts. Hope everyone is doing well, and look forward to reading more birth announcemenys.

LOL at the mini cab story!!!

Congrats reg. You did well and to be home so quick. Fantastic.

Fikelly- I am a bit about the LOs arriving early, but at 35+4 i am not ready for mine yet. At least next Fri i should get the date for my planned cs so i will have a date to plan ahead to .

I've looked on the FB group and can only see the photos of little Matilda. Look forward to seeing Ben and Niamh soon

Oh Reg I am so happy for you....... I am also horribly at all these babies. What a quick birth, wince at the pain you'll be in, but it is worth it!

Come on ladies, let's push some more out over the weekend - due early May-ers - the onus is on you.............

I must confess to having misty-moisty eyes.

Whoops. Yes, come to think of it. I'm mixing up Emmalina and Looby's babies I think. There's just too many babies arriving all at once for my poor brain.

dandy that's a funny story of your friend and the taxi baby.

Reggie Great to hear from you in person. More than likely you ended up with the ventouse, because baby got a bit shocked at the speed it hurled trough your pelvis and so I can imagine his heart rate doing funny things because of it. Congrats and enjoy your (broken) night's sleep in your very own bed

Right. I'm going to be sociable now and actually go and join my parents and have a conversation with them rather than you lot. But it's just been too full of exciting news today to stay away

LOL belgian ikwym... have fun with your m&d.

I took ds to the park for the afternoon and he then fell asleep on our bed when i was nearly finished cooking dinner at 5pm. DH & I tried to rouse him at 5.15pm but he was absolutely zonked. So changed his nappy and got him into his jammies with him still half asleep and popped him into bed. Half expected him to wake up hungry around now but all is still v quiet... i'm going to head off to bed soon too. Maybe not to sleep right away... to excited with all these babies arriving. Will just snuggle in the duvet, watch some telly and do mn on my phone

Congrats Reggiee!!

I have serious baby going on right now. I can't believe it could realistically be another six weeks before I meet my little baby
