Zappatas...over here!!!

[Dropdeadfred]

we got to 1000 again....made me reminisce about our original thread all those months ago

we don't have a bus.

Tis a 6 mile walk to the nearest bus stop, and only 9 miles to the shop, so if I'm walking for a bus, I may as well keep going

Hi Dressedup...and welcome!

Squonk - you live in the bermuda triangle middle of nowhere!

How does dd1 get to school?

dd1 gets school bus which comes in the mornings. Normal people can't get on it though, you need a school bus pass.

Have had text from egg

She is in a taxi on the way to the hospital - she think she is in labour.

She managed to get her ds settled at nursery first. Have no other details, will let you know as and when I hear anything.

am getting ridiculously giddy now

did you hear me?

EGG'S HAVING HER BABIES!!!!!!!!

I certainly will.

I feel like a mother hen - am pacing!

Rationally, I know it will be hours before we hear anything, I keep taking my phone upstairs to make sure that I didn't miss an important message.

ooh, should we have scones and knitting and stuff. I suppose this is now a labour thread...

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWooHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!

I'm so excited!!! Hope she's okay and that DP can hurry home. Her last labour was sort for a first baby so the twins could be here soon!!!!!!!

I know. Am still pacing.

It could be any time.

im literally knitting its a scarf though

wow i though i lived out the way with a twenty gap between buses lol

scarves are good.

I knitted my cousin a scarf when he was born. I was 10 and very proud of myself

You came to visit us on the right day, dressedup, tis an exciting day at zappata towers

Ohhhhh....c'mon c'mon c'mon!!!!!

We want news!!!

am still knitting, pacing and have even boiled some water just in case it is required.

I have clean towels and scones.

Have checked that my phone has a signal and keep running upstairs with it just in case.

Tonight, I shall drive to the top of the hill and stay there until we have news...

lol quite obviously

Squonk....where is the update?

I just took dd3 to nursery and saw a lady with twins, one boy one girl!

Its a sign!!!!

lol sounds like it

rest assured, I shall be on the computer IMMEDIATELY I have news. Phone has signal, is fully charged and is stubbornly silent.

So I guess it's really happening - if it was a false alarm, I'm sure she would have texted to tell us.

Oh...I'm so frustrated...I wanna hear about the babies!!! [sulks]

I HAVE NEWS.

SIT DOWN EVERYONE:

from egg at 2.07 today:

"Rebecca and Jacob have arrived safely today. Natural deliveries, will send more details soon. All ok... they are very cute"

ooh, am so excited, relieved, happy

Awwwwwwwwww I'm welling up!!! I so wish we could go and visit her!

WELL DONE EGG!!!! Beautiful names for your beautiful babies!!!!
