My lovely sister is having contractions!! my parents are there and so is her DH. We are all rooting for her. Pains started about lunchtime and are getting stronger, closer and more regular, she had a show yesterday and a sweep this morning.

just spoke to her on the phone and she had to stop to have a contraction

soooooooooooooooo excited, but i can't be with her ( 200 miles away! ) but my mum will be brilliant ,as will her DH

please send all your good labour and birthing vibes to ruby

xxxxx

Fantastic news. Welcome Baby Slippers! Well done Ruby, and well done Lulu for just about keeping your cool.

She did blardy brilliantly though didn't she? She can only really have got settled at the MLU before the real action must have started.

McKenzie is right though - seems about five minutes since you were announcing your impending auntiehood....
