I'm about to become an Auntie! How much longer? Currently 5cms? What do you think...place your bets!

[McDreamy]

SIL is currently in labour. Was 5cms at midday! I reckon delivery at 6.30pm - what do you think?

Humour me! I'm so excited

How exciting! I'd say you were about on target with that guess! Is it her 1st? If so I'm going to guess 7.15pm
Good luck

Yes it's her first. Oooh I can't concentrate on anything!!!!!!

It's all going to go really quick now so I'm going for 3:33pm

Ohh I am going to come in a bit earlier than that, I reckon before 6pm

Good luck.. try to relax and let it happen, don't use up all your adrenalin at once

4:07pm

5.52pm

7.23 pm

(McD is telling the truth, she can't concentrate on anything, but at least she has the excuse of becoming an aunty, I don't have any excuse)

• no news yet!

(You left your biscuits Benny!!!! mmmmm)

I left the biscuits deliberately as a thank you to AuntyDreamy

Thank you x

OOh I hope she is doing well, How are you coping McDreamy?

Very agitated, excited, preoccupied. Talking to my mum on the computer who is the same.

TBH we are more concerned about my brother (SIL is very capable and will be fine I am sure ) who is a bit, no very, hospital phobic!!! He's wasn't sure he was going to be able to be present but so far he's hung in there with her.

good on him! sounds like he is being able to focus more on his wife than his phobia..

Hope is all goes well, am going out for the evening but will check in when I get back... I am sure she will have had the baby by the time I get back

I will let you, have a nice evening!

I'm going to go for 7.05.

go girl!

I became an aunty last week. was so excited.

News?

Could you ask her to hurry up as I'm going out soon and would like some news before I go

Hope all is going well....

I reckon she's already had it but that they are too overwhelmed to make phone calls.
Congratulations Auntie McD.

no not yet, seems baby should be born within the next hour!!! Oh god I could pee my pants! AND my brother is still with her I am amazed and sooooooo proud! I would have bet money he couldn't do it!

Thank you for sharing my excitement

Go McBro!

(please don't pee your pants though)

It is an amazing thing when your sibling becomes a parent

How is DH coping with your peeing-panted-ness ?

Well.......?

I haven't shared that information with him yet

Still no baby or no phone call!

As I was writing the phone rang!

Baby boy James 7lb 4oz born just before 9pm and he stayed! I can't believe my brother stayed. He said he couldn't leave and it was amazing! I am so proud of them both!

Yay McDreamy is an Auntie!

Congratulations McDreamy. Enjoy being elevated to aunty status and well done Brother and new mother.

wonderful!!

Woo-hoo! Congratulations to the McDreamy extended family, and well done to your brother for making it through.

Congratulations
