Drat, I'd typed a message and then something went wrong. Hope everyone is ok.

Anyway, I was only saying that I haven't read everything properly, but congratulations pula, and belgian - our first night sounds very similar to yours!

DD2 is still nameless ! Anyway, she slept really well from about 8 last night until 10:30; shame DD1 was a real pain and didn't settle until well gone 9. DD2 was really disturbed until about 2:30 this morning, seemed to be on a very short cycle of feed, doze, cry and not being very settled by anything we tried. She eventually went to sleep and woke at about 7, shame DD1 woke at 6 as usual!

I'm feeling ok, just really bruised still! MW coming tomorrow because I've got to have the antiD injection, DD2 is rhesus positive.

Off to bed now, both girls seem settled so will make the most of it! Will try to come back tomorrow to catch up, and hoping toget some photos up on FB soon.

That was a weird post by me - managed to get vadge jelly, pants and DD2 and peas in one paragraph like they're somehow related.

Stupid Grumpy.

Fraz Minim and Choc Good luck but Pah! Not fair.

Ocado don't do maternity pads. Well not the normal cheap ones. Boo. I'm going through them too fast.

Blotted you crack me up you naughty lady. What a fabulous image. Prostate probe. I'm with you though. Last time I was well up for it. This time, NO.

My BIL came round for dinner tonight. What a fab man. He entertained the dc wore them out, brought chocolate fingers for pudding, and entertained them while I had a bath, then dh and bil read them stories while I read Heat.

reebee welcome to the july thread....

PML @ Grumpy and the trifle

I'm getting 'tightenings' every 20 mins. Daren't call them contractions .. probably just more BH's caused by the Sweep.
trying to decide if I should go to bed or wait and see if anything more develops.

Jennster · 12/05/2009 22:12

On the bright side, my pelvic floor seems to be holding up. I've just sneezed violently, have a full bladder and didn't wet myself.

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 12/05/2009 22:16

I just ate some trifle. I tried not to think about Blotted's fanjo.

Detsy can I join the July club?

Momino · 12/05/2009 22:20

minimenace · 12/05/2009 22:36

Momino · 12/05/2009 22:38

minimenace · 12/05/2009 22:40

Will do FiKelly no more news from Frazz and choc though

LOL Momino sorry to remind you of it again

frazzledoldbag · 12/05/2009 22:41

grumpy glad your pants are also fascinating - mine are a source of great entertainment this evening. Pink slime. Sort of a cross between jelly, trifle and angel delight really . Sorry girls (ha ha ha). It's really sore to sit on the loo when I wee - feels like the baby is about to fall out of my fanj.

Been feeling un-labourish until about half an hour ago when I've been quite sore again esp in my back and very low down at the front. Am shattered so am off to bed to see if I can sleep through them. MIL just phoned to see if she can go to bed or not! I told her nothing was happening - poor old MIL has been sobering up specially for me! (god am painting her to be a right old soak, she's not that bad really!)

mini how are you doing now? you sound a bit like me tonight! I sort of really want the baby out now, but then I remember how tricky newborns can be and am quite happy for it to stay in where it's easier to look after. God, am I getting cold feet at this late stage? Help! Probably just that my DD's were winding each other up tonight too and the thought of adding another screamer into the mix isn't always that appealing! (most of the time it is, just not when DD2 is hanging off DD1's hair) .

jennster v.envious of your cast iron pelvic floor.
(note to self : do a couple of pelvic floor ex before bed)

Also am delighted to add the words 'vadge jelly' to my vocab. It sits well among my other MN favorites of 'norks' and 'fanjo'.

flippin hope you're ok and get a better bit of rest tonight. I suspect my LO might be nameless for a while too - best to get it right I reckon! DH and I are still in total disagreement. Blah.
Right, night night. Fully expect to be present and correct for the roll call in the morning x

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 12/05/2009 22:46

Goodnight all!!

Hope to hear of hundreds of babies slipping smoothly down birth canals in a matter of minutes during the night, possibly aided by desserts, possibly not!

xx

FiKelly · 12/05/2009 22:49

I'm off to bed too.. hoping my alien wriggling bump will get the hint and go to sleep too ;)

Momino · 12/05/2009 22:49

am off to bed as well. i'm sure I'll be on the red-eye slot of 2-5am. If anyone else is awake at this time and needs company, do look out for me!

OP posts:
minimenace · 12/05/2009 22:54

Yep night all, I think I'll go try and get some sleep too. Hopefully I may be chatting to you later Momino if not then see everyone else for Roll call at 9am.

minimenace · 12/05/2009 22:56

Sorry frazz just saw your message. Yeah it's all a bit hazy as to whether it real or not so I'm going to go to sleep and probably wake up to nothing again I really want to get it over with now.

detsy · 12/05/2009 23:12

erm ladies, I think you'll find that I'm queen of all things vadge jelly. I have tons to go round for those desperate for some
Been in bed hours - no sleep coming...
Good vibes to all the possibles this eve fx

Febes · 12/05/2009 23:14

Night all. I just cried at the end of Shameless. Good series.

detsy · 12/05/2009 23:18

grumpy course u can join July thread
Reading archive web news today bout late babes and last year in uk 250 babies were born at 48 weeks????? Seems like a nice round no to me - mothersnot under
Mat care.... So how do they know no of weeks then. Sorry rambling on...

frazzledoldbag · 13/05/2009 02:29

Hiya - anyone around? Have been awake since about 2am with quite strong pains in back and pelvis and feeling horribly sick as well. Uck. Had clary bath and rubbed bump with clary oil before sleep and normally love the smell but have woken up and now can't bear it.
Not sure if I'm going into proper labour but can't sleep through the pain at the mo - off to see if I can stomach some rice crispies with cold milk to make me feel better (old morning sickness fall-back position). It'll either make me puke or I'll be fine in a minute!
Anyone want to hold my hand?
[frazz shitting it emoticon]
Am prob being a big fat wuss about nothing but feel most odd.

Comewhinewithme · 13/05/2009 02:33

Hi frazzled I am not on this thread but am also feeling a little odd tonight not sure if I am going into labour or just feeling crap from eating too much earlier .

Holds hand.

frazzledoldbag · 13/05/2009 02:36

Hey comewhine thanks! When are you due?
