Thanks for the welcome :) I am still stuck in full time work atm, but maternity leave starts in July, would love to meet up then. Cake sounds good! (tho consultant says I need to cut down on carbs and sugar as baby is a bit big for dates, bah!)

KaraStarbuckThrace · 06/06/2011 06:49

Baby Starbuck is on her way, woohoo!!

spiggy · 06/06/2011 07:33

wooo hoo! speedy labour vibes and hope the birth goes smoothly.

juneybean · 06/06/2011 10:19

Yayyy good luck!!

KaraStarbuckThrace · 06/06/2011 11:48

Hello quick update from me!

Sadly labour has stalled, it is starting to get going again, but still not in established labour.
Went in bath after MWs had been and examined me (not dilated though), then had maccyD breakfast, then a nap, then a walk. Been stood up and also bouncing on my ball, desperately wanting to speed things up. Have TENS machine on and been sniffing my clary sage as well!

juneybean · 06/06/2011 11:52

Get that eviction notice served to her! Come out come out where ever you are Baby Starbuck!!

StealthPolarBear · 06/06/2011 12:48

Just back from work trip to Belgium (long story!) and mega meetings.

So ... ? Is it safe to ask? It's all gone quiet since Monday!

LeggyBlondeNE · 10/06/2011 10:48

Oops, no found y'all on Kara's thread.

Gosh! What an undecided baby!

Indith · 11/06/2011 13:59

I'm back! Where is that baby? I got all excited at texts from Spiggy! Hope you are not too fed up Kara.

StealthPolarBear · 11/06/2011 13:59

Welcome back! Did you have a good time?

Lovely time thank you SPB. Have texted you, if you fancy a play tom (park or home depending on weather) let me know. Since we got int he car to go home ds has been jabbering on about calling on all his friends to play, he has had a great time and he and dd have really buddied up but I think he has missed his friends!

KaraStarbuckThrace · 15/06/2011 09:18

Hello!

We need a date for cake Grin

Got my mum up next week, but what about Tuesday 26th? I'll be dropping my mum off at Darlington train station at around 10am so could get up to Durham for about 11am?

spiggy · 15/06/2011 10:47

If it is a mon or a tues I will have to bring all 3 of mine- do you think I can cope cafe continental is big enough?

My good mood at having 5 whole hours uninterrupted sleep last night has been cancelled out by finding that some idiot at the tax credits cocked up and has had us down as not paying any childcare costs since last July when in fact we pay £170 a week! Now I have to prove my childcare costs for every week since July. DP shredded all the old invoices a few weeks ago so I have to try and get duplicates. aaaaarrrgh.

LeggyBlondeNE · 15/06/2011 11:54

I have to get a train at about 11.40 on that Tuesday. Might be able to pop in especially if we can start maringally earlier.

KaraStarbuckThrace · 15/06/2011 14:59

Oh no Spiggy!!!

I can do Wed or Thu of that week if that is better?

spiggy · 16/06/2011 11:31

Just checked the dates- did you mean Tues 28th? Tues 26th is in July. Thurs 30th June I'll prob be spending with DP as he'll be on strike (as will half the country by the look of it)

I don't mind the Tues- just wondering if there will enough room for us all!

Indith · 16/06/2011 18:11

Bumping since there is a NE thread running at the moment!

I can most likely do any time :)

KaraStarbuckThrace · 16/06/2011 20:54

I probably have the date wrong, but I am meaning the week after next, mum goes back on the Monday so could I do Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Indith · 17/06/2011 08:27

So the 28th of June then :) I could do that :)

spiggy · 17/06/2011 09:03

thought that was what you meant Kara but sleep deprivation mean sI am easily confused at the moment Grin

DamselInDisarray · 17/06/2011 11:51

I have wandered over from the other NE thread. Alas I cannot eat cake on Tuesday 28th because I will be further north graduating. Actually I probably will eat cake. 'tis a celebration after all.

SongBirdsKeepSinging · 17/06/2011 18:38

I have also wandered over from the other ne thread. Would love to go to a meet up but probably better to wait till after dc2 arrives in July. Will keep popping by :)

Hope you and baby are well Kara

spiggy · 17/06/2011 19:25

Hello damsel and songbirds Smile

I think there will be plenty of meet ups over the summer so definitely put this on your watch list.
