I've just come across this thread and am now stuffed for my day at work. Mumsnet shall be open all day in the background for updates. I won't get a thing done today!

Good luck Flame! I hope everything is progessing smoothly and you are managing to get a little rest.

C'mon Flame - I've got a busy day at work and I need to know this baby's name.

However, have learned something new today - didn't know ADragonis4life.. was Soupy!!

Hope it is all going well Flame and you get to meet your little person soon.

Yay! just spotted on FB, guess all those contraction vibes everyone was sending worked!

Hope it's all going smoooooooothly.

I didn't know you were on here Blotted!!! (your swap is still delayed btw )

M/w been - am 2cms (which is about right for me), things tend to go much faster from here on in. She did a sweep and said she felt the head with her finger (Why does that make me all soppy??)

Out of the pool for a bit drinking tea. Was feeling much less hurty til I stood up to walk in here, and then I felt like I could feel every teeny thing.

Oh DC went to mum's last night, DS has preschool this morning and then my lovely friend is having him for the afternoon. Hoping by the time he is returned to mum and DD finishes afterschool club I will have a baby for them to cuddle.

oooh how exciting!!
ope everything is going well xx

Anyone got biccies?

I am very Flame, but much more
Sending you lots of happy thoughts for a happy labour x

Bloodshot - I've got a mahoosive slab of chocolate brownie I made at the weekend for dessert when friends came over, but there was way too much.

Here you go...

Are you up to a bit of chocolate, Flame?

On toast atm. Watching Rhod Gilbert on youtube with DH - my new fave man (Rhod not DH)

You seem so calm. I am in awe.

Bookmarking for later, as only just found you.

Good luck

i am oddly calm.... i'm scaring me.

Oooh...this is so exciting!!

I've been at work for 2 hours and have accomplished nothing. Too busy refreshing this page to see if there is anymore news.

You are calm about giving birth and calm about having another baby to look after! You are like superwoman!

I guess you've had a little while to get used to the idea

Good luck Flame! You seem very serene.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

How exciting!

Good luck and super
