Durham / North East Meet Ups - 2012

[juneybean]

Hello hello! Here I am with good intentions to behave and show up to some meet ups since I utterly failed in 2011!

So we need ideas for daytime meets and of course we must not forget our night time meets

[b]Daytime Ideas[/b]
Beamish
Saltwell Park, Gateshead
The Giants Den, Team Valley
Botanic Gardens
Beach (in the summer of course, unless we want airborne children!)

Okay so ideas for January daytime, I think cake is definitely in order so I propose the one that's next to Ebony, the huge place, down some steps, uhh... Slug & Lettuce is it? CAKE!

January night time? Is this something we want to plan? I know we're always poor after Christmas!

Indith has lovely long thin fingers doesn't she? I'm sure she could reach a goodly proportion of cervixes...

I have some marking that needs finishing by close of Monday so sounds like an excellent opportunity to sit and work in a quiet place pub with babies...

Ooooh big change since Tuesday. Reachable and 2cm. MW said she expects I'll go some point this weekend. Fingers crossed! Legs less so.

Come on baby Indith!
Being selfish here, make sure its after 11 tomorrow :o

Actually if you fancy a couple of hours to yourself in the morning I'm happy to pick yours on the way to cake then play in the park? We'll even bring you some cake back

I know, got to wait until after cake!

I'd rather the chance to have a chat than the couple of hours break, I get that every morning now :) If the baby comes tonight though we'll be begging you to take them to cake .

Nice one.see you about 9.30. Your ds may well be born on the first cake day we go to of 2012!

Indith that's great! I'll be thinking of you over the weekend, sending lots of pain relieving vibes... and being well jel of the lovely little newborn cuddles.

Humph

Definitely can't do cake Monday, sorry :( Totally forgot DH is off on Monday.

Indith - fingers crossed for you!!

So this is the point we can get ridiculously excited if you don't check in every hour or so? come on baby- we are waiting to meet you! plus mummy is getting rather grumpy

Baby still in situ.

Honestly if I'm going to have a MW stick her fingers in my cervix the least he could do is bloody well come out afterwards! AND she said she thought I would go into labour, she did! She gave me false hope.

Indith if you're still pg tomorrow you can go to cake. Get excited about that. Make plans to do other stuff in town. Can you make a really important appoitnment to discuss your mortgage?

Well that is true yes, Cake would be good.

even DH is asking for baby updates now!

in the nicest possible way I really hope that we don't see you tomorrow

Though cake would be nice. I do like cake.

Someone has come on the Mums in Durham FB group saying they pootled over from Mumsnet. Own up now, who is it? I cna't think of anywhere other than this thread where the FB group has been mentioned?

Sorry had to dash I meant if you make plans for tomorrow the baby is bound to come tonight

Actually forget that, sue the midwife she lied to you!

Back ache, stringy snot every time I wee. Please please please please come tonight baby. Otherwise I will just give up all hope.

Yay the stringy snot :o
Indith, seriously, you do know you'll have a newborn this time next week don't you? Do not give up hope, he's just finishing off in there.
I'm dying to know what you will be calling him!

ooooh! fingers crossed for you.

SPB is wise. This time next week you will be holding your snuggly new baby and probably wishing he was back in there so you can have more than 20mins sleep at a time

not that wise - to begin with I did wonder why she was telling us about her nose at a time like this :o

SPB did you remember to turn the webcam on for mw watch?

Hush I'm hiding in their loft space. Your whispering will give the game away.

hope you went to the loo before you hid- it might be a long night
