...but that last BH made my eyes water. And the previous two weren't very comfortable, either.

Um. I have a surveyor coming round to the house on Monday and I also booked in to get my roots done for Monday afternoon.

We are trying to get DS through bath time and bedtime at the mo'.

And DH wants to go and get a takeaway after DS is in bed.

The house is in a state as well.

Look, this isn't a veery convenient time.

Okay, if things are kicking off, which I hope they aren't and bet they aren't now I've started a thread about it, how can I slow it down/stop it for a couple of days?

Is she going to be Elisabeth since she is a Jubilee baby? Crown

or Philip if a boy?

GnocchiNineDoors · 01/06/2012 23:54

Sorry to step on toes Thanks

It made me less adjitated as to why OPs OH has not posted.

realises he may well be up to his elbows in placenta and water but still

3 in 10 a bit ago ...could be getting to transition and too busy doing backrubs to post...

backrubs good.
transition...not so much.

MmeLindor. · 02/06/2012 00:04

Catherine or William :o

Mary Rose (although it does sound like a salad dressing)

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 02/06/2012 00:10

The hair is lovely, but might have to retract the crown for the name suggestion!

GnocchiNineDoors · 02/06/2012 00:12

Haha, no problem, though I've given my own crown to OP for her baby. Hmmm....sure there must be an old paper crown lying round here from christmas.

Did you know the queen refuses to wear a cracker crown at christmas? Shock

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 02/06/2012 00:16

If I were her I wouldn't get out of bed for less than the Koh i Noor (sp?) diamond.

Guess that's why I haven't had the call up then!

Thumbwitch · 02/06/2012 00:24

Oooo it's still going! How exciting, when I opened it I thought "no way, she'll have had it by now" - but no!

Still time to get my guess in then:

21.00 - Maizie's DH - BOY - 9lb3

Of course I might have been a bit prem with crossing out the times that have passed, I'm sure that Mr Opener would have other things on his mind than an instant update of baby's arrival!

Good luck opener - hope it all goes really well! Thanks and Crown just because.

NB - if it's a boy, you could call him Rex, or Reg. Grin

QueenBeeBread · 02/06/2012 00:28

No toes stepped on here Gnocchi and certainly no need to apologise! It's always nice to meet someone as nerdy ahem organised as me! Yours is prettier than mine was going to be, anyway.

Alexandra for a girl
Arthur for a boy

GnocchiNineDoors · 02/06/2012 00:37

Might have a girl crush on thumbwitch for adding the strike through.
I need to turn in as i have a three hour drive at 8am but will check in before we leave.
Night all

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 02/06/2012 00:39

Night. Mwah! x

Jacksmania · 02/06/2012 00:39

Can we revise guesses? If my (and Star's) guess of 12:15 am didn't pan out, I'm going for 2:15 am. Boy, 7 lbs 10 oz.

Thumbwitch · 02/06/2012 00:43

No no no, JM - you have to C&P for a new guess to be valid! Grin

Grin Gnocchi.

Sorry Thumb :o

Thumbwitch · 02/06/2012 01:13

Soooo - no update for a while, I guess this means that things are progressing?

Jacksmania · 02/06/2012 01:32

FX?? Confused

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 02/06/2012 01:40

Fingies crossed?

Oh, and fanks, lots, for lists.
