You know they will tail off for a few more days just to irritate you even more Flamey!

MarsLady · 18/10/2009 21:01

No, you don't, I just picked 23rd on your other thread for birthdate!!

Good luck!

(Marslady, haven't seen you about for a while - couldn't resist a good birth thread, eh? )

ShowOfHands · 18/10/2009 21:05

Ooooh brilliant. Nowt on television tonight.

Come on Sam Dean Baby Flame.

CantSleepWontSleep · 18/10/2009 21:05

Whoohoo - we're off!

hester · 18/10/2009 21:06

How exciting - best of luck Flamey. You have a nap and rest up while you can. Alternatively, do it my way: stay up all night washing your hair and painting your toenails, confident that your baby will be born by teatime [echoes of laughter that still sounds hoarse and bitter, even after four years].

largeginandtonic · 18/10/2009 21:07

How exciting.

A lovely new baby to snuggle, i am of you.

Good luck!

Frizbe · 18/10/2009 21:08

Oooohhh!!! come on baby Flame!

GoppingOtter · 18/10/2009 21:08

how exciting flame < drags comfy chair across room>

WartoScreamo · 18/10/2009 21:08

Ooh - good luck! Hope you don't do a Princessmel and carry on for a week!

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 18/10/2009 21:09

Cross your legs til Tuesday, there's a dear.

LilRedWG · 18/10/2009 21:09

Yippee! A little FlameSpark on the way.

XavierOnassis · 18/10/2009 21:09

How many weeks are you Flame?

Good luck, fingers crossed for you. Enjoy it. (Odd though that sounds )

AitchTwoToTangOh · 18/10/2009 21:09

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, we're going to have a baby. so lovely.

FlameIsHavinABaby · 18/10/2009 21:09

Ooh a week sounds scary

Phoenix · 18/10/2009 21:09

Woohoo come on BabyGus!

princessmel · 18/10/2009 21:10

Warto I'm here, been twiddling nipples all through x factor.

Flame yippee!

What do your waters look like and how did you know when they went?? Did they pop?

Frizbe · 18/10/2009 21:10

Hmmm and whilst I think about it, I might need a large G&T to see me though to the end of this birth thread wanders off to get the popcorn out!

MarsLady · 18/10/2009 21:11

I would imagine House would scare the baby out. Are you sure you can afford the counselling that will be required in 18 years?

Pol: with two teens and another hot on their heels it's lucky if I get on of an evening. Fortunately stinky boy is in the bath, one is watching Emma (me too kind of), one is on her way to bed and the DTs had such a great day today they're completely asleep. But you're right... couldn't resist a birth thread. Just wondering where lulu is.

JustBeBuffy · 18/10/2009 21:13

Yey Flame - my bet's on tonight, can you manage it in the next few hours?!

CantSleepWontSleep · 18/10/2009 21:14

princessmel - are you due too? I didn't even know that you were pregnant again! Congratulations!
