Had a text this morning saying her waters had broken.

Had another one a minute or three ago to say contractions ten minutes apart.

And another just now to say she's "having a lovely time. Can feel this bubba moving down and feel amazing. Sun is shining and everything."

Will keep you posted!

Aww many congratulations TC. You sound so chilled out. Best wishes to you, Dom and your 3 dd's.

Right can we start a new thread now to help you name her?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 25/09/2007 12:46

Oh gosh TC!

I'm crying with laughter at the thought of you on the platform and just grinning like a madthing at your birth.

Imagining the announcement -' Will Mr TC please come and collect the loony pg woman who is making a mess of the waiting room floor. Thank you'

Well done you - and Dom and Marsy

You mad bat - driving to the station and getting them to make an announcement! LOL!

Couldn't you call her Arlo, anyway? Just so that I could be right?

Well done that woman!

Isn't great how normal rules don't apply when you're in labour. And everyone just does exactly what you say

RTKangaMummy · 25/09/2007 13:05

I think she ought to have a middle name of PINNER or whichever station it was

magnolia74 · 25/09/2007 13:06

Omg, crying after reading that
Huge congratulations xxxxxx

CatIsSleepy · 25/09/2007 13:07
