I will now make a huge idiot of myself...

[openerofjars]

...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?

ooh yay, a birth thread I can stay up for... am on holiday in the us and tis not 1.30am tis only 5.30pm..

how you doing?

I was just being affectionate!

Push, whatever are you doing being up at this time of night? Is it the boy, the girl or work?

I just want its posts deleting so I can print this thread off for dc2 as a keepsake.

Don't worry, opener, I've reported her too.

Btw, does cocodamol make everything a bit spacey? Or is that the labour itself doing that? It can't be the lemon squash.

Work, then boy, now girl with a dream about magic dungeons . And now impending baby excitement of course off back to bed in a few mins though

I shall be back in the morning though and expet to see a baby

(Btw coodamol completely fucks my head)

Okay, Push, will call you in the morning (later in the morning) with a bit of luck. All well here, love to the family x.

God, I wish the start of my last labour had been this chilled out. This is ace. If slightly painful.

Annie, I know exactly what you mean. Now hand over the chocolate.

My mum is bringing crappy white bread (against all her healthy eating instincts) so I can have crappy white bread butty toast and insanely strong sugary tea la NHS hospital birth afterwards!

Can't wait to meet him/her Break a leg and all that xx

Typing of which, we went to see a house on B T*** Rd the other week and they had the same kind of drain... Lucky escape.

Okay, sorry, where were we? Oh yes. Timing contractions.

Back in a min.

Oh my goodness! In my mournful sulk around MN as had argument with DH check of MN, I find you. Having a baby.

I started at the top quite calmly, now I'm all giddy with excitement!!
I have to say although I generally love your posts this is by far my favourite!
Right...well, snacks, socks, DS, birthing pool, DH. Seems you're pretty much sorted! Co-codamol and MW done, now we wait (we..lol, I'm doing so much)
Lots of soothing noises and back rubs to you! Even though I was much more of an ipod and 'don't f'kin touch me' kinda gal! Come on baby jars, none of us can wait to meet you!!
Lots and lots of earth mothery vibes being sent your way xx

How many minutes apart now opener. Have you called your Mum and woke up dh yet?

Wow, your live birth thread has been invaded by the troll. Faaaaaaaaaaantastic...

I'm on my way out of the office (it's nearly 6 pm here), but will keep checking in. Come on Baby Bumpy!

I know, study leave or what?

Now 30s, 4 mins apart. Mum on her way, cocodamol kicking in. How long d'you reckon I should leave DH? Last labour was 15.5 hours, so not v worried re speedy birth.
