Do you have to complicate matters cantsleep?

Right I am off NOW.

Poledra · 19/10/2009 15:04

Come on!!!! I have another meeting at 3:30 - it'll look really suspicious if I'm constantly refreshing the web during it!

PacificWerewolfwoohood · 19/10/2009 15:04

Ha, DH just came home unexpectedly early, so HE is off to the school with DS3 in buggy. I am having cup of tea in peace and will only be able to celebrate BabyFlame's arrival with the gravitas and fanfare it deserves in the next half hour or so. Once the marauding hordes arrive home, DS1 will need computer for MoshiMonsters, DS2 will argue with him because he will want to go on Club Penguin and DS3 will want food, and DH will go all quiet and grumpy because there is absolutely no attention/piece of me left for him !

But enough about us: any updates?? Mustrunmore, are you in the loop?

Rossco · 19/10/2009 15:16

Must change cat litter tray, must change cat litter tray, must change...

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 19/10/2009 15:18

Well, she must be having it now...

Sending not-too-painful pushy vibes your way!

CantSleepWontSleep · 19/10/2009 15:22

An hour and 20 minutes is a bloody long time to leave us without an update if she isn't actually pushing now, so she'd better be pushing!

Wonder if she has her mobile on her .

callmeovercautious · 19/10/2009 15:28

Come on flame - I have to go to the hairdressers soon

reallywoundup · 19/10/2009 15:31

nothing? seriously? how long does it take

NormaStanleyFletcher · 19/10/2009 15:35

Flame m'love. Please hurry up. I really should be cleaning my bathroom.

HidingFromTheDM · 19/10/2009 15:36

Back from my appointment and phew didn't miss it. It was all I thought about while I was out.

Jacksmamwahahaha My relatives understand perfectly that I will not allow them through the door when they visit unless they are holding a rather large tin of timmies coffee . Sadly, it never lasts long enough or they don't come often enough - one of the two.

TheDevilEatsBabies · 19/10/2009 15:37

just joined an hour ago: good pushing Flame!

i'm not so panicking about it taking you so long, i'm trying to work here!

(and enjoying mashed potato for lunch yummy!)

reallywoundup · 19/10/2009 15:41

i have to go and do real life can we set up a text ring for when she has it

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 19/10/2009 15:41

I agree - she'd better have a damn good excuse for not posting [hard stare]

laughalot · 19/10/2009 15:42

How exciting

TrillianSlasher · 19/10/2009 15:43

Damn good excuse like having a baby you mean?

HidingFromTheDM · 19/10/2009 15:45

Pfft...is having a baby really a good excuse? I mean really?

[ducks and runs]

sweetkitty · 19/10/2009 15:47

Bet you she is enjoying those first cuddles

(SK goes all broody, well as broody as you can be feeling horrendous with MS)

nappyzonecantrunfortoffee · 19/10/2009 15:48

im back from school now so puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuushhhhhhhhhhh

EdgarAllenPoo · 19/10/2009 15:49

good luck, happy delivering...flame

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 19/10/2009 15:49

Yes, Trillian. If she's just having a nap, I shall be Very Cross. We want chubby legs, we want squashed up noses, we want that foul tar in a first nappy. Er, OK, scratch that last one.

TerryWogansCock · 19/10/2009 15:50

Flame lovie, can you please have this baby before 4.30pm? i need to leave then

no pressure though

TrillianSlasher · 19/10/2009 15:51

Having a nap? With contractions going on?

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 19/10/2009 15:52

Ah, but we only have her word for it about the contractions.
