and at 3pm I think my waters broke so we are going to hospital to get checked.

it could be it, or false alarm, but I had a mother of a contractions 10 minutes ago ago - the next one I will need G&A with!!!!

family have to be told first

I really can't see why.

mummylin2495 · 18/07/2014 01:39

No I can't really, but I suppose we can be a little bit generous Grin

mummylin2495 · 18/07/2014 02:03

Well much as I would like to stay up, I can't any longer, will find out in the morning !

lettertoherms · 18/07/2014 02:14

Woohoo!

Watching from California as well.

AdoraBell · 18/07/2014 02:31

Well come on, I've been off and cooked and eaten dinner, there must be an update, surely?

Downamongtherednecks · 18/07/2014 02:33

Adora I know. I've had a several frozen sangrias and there is STILL no update.

AdoraBell · 18/07/2014 02:39

Some people, eh Downamong. Envy at frozen sangrias, not to mention Zing's impending lovely snuggly babyGrin.

Strokethefurrywall · 18/07/2014 02:48

Still the 17th here in the Cayman Islands too - hurry up baby Zing!!

How exciting!!

Downamongtherednecks · 18/07/2014 03:09

So is anyone in the UK left on this thread, or is it just us sad expats? Running out of Sangria... and it's too hot to sleep.

AdoraBell · 18/07/2014 03:19

I reckon the locals have all gone to bed, those who are not waiting to give birth of course. Have a sangria for me would you Downamong I have visiting DCs and one of mine at another friend's and I so do don't want to crack open the vino ATM.

Downamongtherednecks · 18/07/2014 03:22

Happy to oblige Adora (love the name, just re-read Making Money with your lovely namesake starring this may be the sangria talking )

AdoraBell · 18/07/2014 03:28

Amazing, I'm halfway through re-reading it too. Can't remember where I put it since DDs had a couple of weeks of exams and are now on holidayHmm

elliejjtiny · 18/07/2014 03:31

Hope you're cuddling your new baby by now [wonders if I'm the only local on the thread]

BernardlookImaprostituterobotf · 18/07/2014 03:34

I'm in the UK and not waiting to give birth so now I rather feel I've crashed the party!

Just didn't want to be mithering because I thought no updates were probably for good reason.
As I'm here now I'll send continued good wishes and wait anxiously for news.
I saw you expat lot and thought there was an update from the family, was reet disappointed, sangria though delicious is not baby levels of exciting - unless I'm making it wrong? Maybe you have to be somewhere glorious and beachy, that probably makes all the difference.

Downamongtherednecks · 18/07/2014 03:37

ellie glad to see someone from Blighty! You are up late. Adora my dc have been off since the first week of JUNE. All my brain can cope with is MN and Mr Pratchett.

Downamongtherednecks · 18/07/2014 03:41

Do you think Mr Zing has been instructed to let us know? It's my first live birth thread, and I don't know the ..er.. etiquette.

GrouchyKiwi · 18/07/2014 03:43

Also in UK but I am waiting for a baby.

Hoping Zing is enjoying newborn cuddles right now and doesn't have a fecking noisy bird screeching outside her window.

elliejjtiny · 18/07/2014 03:47

My 5 week old is cluster feeding. I'm using this thread to help me stay awake.

slithytove · 18/07/2014 03:48

Uk here, can't sleep as 32 weeks and very uncomfortable!

Looking forward to a good BA, need some happy news

Boleh · 18/07/2014 03:56

Just letting you know that Malaysia is up and about ready to take over the watching as the UK sleeps :-)
Hope it's great news and lovely cuddles now!

Strokethefurrywall · 18/07/2014 04:06

Another sad expat here. I can't even keep anyone company with wine as I'm 28 days into my whole30 and haven't had any booze since mid-June. Which is really quite amazing for me!

16 week old DS2 is snoring and I should really head to bed before back to work tomorrow. Am tres jealous OP has her whole maternity leave stretching out before her!

I hear there are some crazy storms in UK right now, hope people can still sleep.

Come on baby Zing (again!)

droitwichmummy · 18/07/2014 04:13

I'm in the uk awake thanks to a thunderstorm! Storm seems to have passed & left me with a pressure headache so MNing whilst waiting for painkillers to kick in

ooh more rumbles!

icklekid · 18/07/2014 04:17

Up feeding my 1 week old hoping for babyzing news...where for art thou?

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 18/07/2014 04:18

Oh Zing. How exciting! I hope has gone well and you are enjoying blissful cuddles with BabyZing. Flowers

AdoraBell · 18/07/2014 04:22

Hope you painkillers do the trick droitwich

This is our winter holiday downamong, only two weeks so I'm relatively sane at this time of year. The summer is a different beast.

Congrats to those with new/still tiny babies.
