Surely she would have been back by now to say what was happening... unless she is GIVING BIRTH. Oooh exciting.

EllieK · 26/03/2007 08:47

well, we haven't heard anything, but we have all swapped mobile numbers with one other so I guess we wait til she comes back or sends a text! will keep you posted if Octo can't

lulumama · 26/03/2007 08:49

she might be asleep !!

EllieK · 26/03/2007 08:50

I'm hoping she is, she's desperate for the April babies to start arriving but it's a bit early for hers yet

NormaStanleyfEGGcher · 26/03/2007 09:22

Still no news then - I hope she is having a lie in

NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 09:35

Oh dear God, the memories....

Just to keep you all updated.

Had a post on our antenatal thread to say Octo is still having contractions and has been up all night, but no baby yet.

lulumama · 26/03/2007 12:00

nothing to see here ! thanks for the update! yoo hoo NJ ! we not doing this again, no?

NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 12:03

The poor thing, I think I might have to pitch the tent and get the camp set up for this one....

And Lulu, I already have you and 'the gang' penciled in for my next long haul labour, aiming for it to be next year, plenty of notice for everyone this time

NormaStanleyfEGGcher · 26/03/2007 12:06

Hey lulu - hey NJ

I read the thread s of your labour NJ, even though I wasn't around when it actually happened . Took me blardy ages to read all in one go, so it must have been a marathon at the time

anyway

NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 12:36

Yes it was.... trying to find the right word... amusing... for some!!

Sad fact is, I miss it!!! LOL Gluton for punishment!!

Come on Oct, we are all routing for you!!

How's it going, octopussy?

EllieK · 26/03/2007 13:30

BabyMadwithBump · 26/03/2007 13:37

frumpygrumpy · 26/03/2007 13:38

EllieK · 26/03/2007 13:41

last we heard was a text at 10am saying that

"she's been having contractions all night and hasn't had any sleep but no baby yet. Her DH is staying home today and she's about to have a bath to see if it settles down"

nothing since so we're thinking it's all happening

NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 13:44

The poor thing, I bet she is shattered.

...exciting for us though
