Am so proud of her

have a stupidly inane grin on my face and I suspect it will be there for the rest of the day. Am torn between hoping that she gets as much rest as poss, and wanting her on her computer NOW so we can have every detail.

Am going with the rest half though (because I'm nice)

Sent her a text telling her congrats from all of us.

Should we get together and buy her some flowers or chocolates or something from us as a group?

Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 16:17

Yes Squonk, brill idea!!! We need to know if she's at home or hospital for flowers though.

Plus I think webcam from her hospital bed should have been arranged well in advance!!

I will try to find out where to send them (without asking her)

Who wants to do the honours as far as collecting, ordering and sending is concerned?

Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 16:28

I don't mind doing that Squonk, similarly I don't mind if you wanted to. Shall we choose the flowers together? Where shall we order them from..Ohhh we need pink AND blue!!!!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh, can't believe I missed the labour waiting thread.

Well done Egg and huge congratulations to the Egg family .

Welcome to Rebecca and Jacob, such beautiful names and have just seen their photo on vodafone website, they're so teeny and gorgeous (I'm too stupid to set my phone up to receive pics)

Only had time to check scrabble this morning, and was just settling in for MN time when the power went off (was planned due to work on the new flats opposite). So went off to waterbabies at 10:45 where dd proceeded to scream the entire class . Was shopping in baby dept store in windsor when I got the arrival text so unfortunately just had to buy some presents (strangely I had already bought a card at 13:30pm).

Definately very broody now, I can't stop grinning

marmitemad · 10/01/2008 16:32

Oh yes love the idea of sending flowers from all of us as well

fryalot · 10/01/2008 16:39

Twould be fab if you could do it, fred, if you don't mind.

Do you have a paypal address that we can chuck our money in?

And marmite - twas the shortest twin labour in history, I think. It was four hours from me getting a text saying "oops, I think I'm in labour" to getting a text saying "oh, guess what, had a couple of babies!"

fryalot · 10/01/2008 16:41

dressedup - don't worry, we won't expect you to contribute to flowers but we would still love you to be one of us and chat with us.

Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 16:45

My paypal acct is my email address. Hmm I will go and search for congrats about your tins flowers/teddies etc...

Ooooeeee..I'm so happy!!! But jealous of Marmite seeing pics..

My phone is dead, please tell Egg that Squonk in case she thinks I'm ignoring her!!!

OP posts:
fryalot · 10/01/2008 16:48

will do. I forwarded pics to you, but I think she has sent them to us all so when your phone's back up and running, they should be there waiting for you.

fryalot · 10/01/2008 16:50

and I meant to say - she will be in hospital for a few days at least, she has her own room. Don't know which ward yet but tis the Royal Winchester or something similar. Think there is only one in Winchester so shouldn't be difficult to track it down.

Will wait and see what flowers we like and how much they are before I send any money, then hopefully we can get her what we want rather than what we can afford iykwim.

marmitemad · 10/01/2008 16:58

did eggs dh make it home in time to be with her?

Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 17:30

fryalot · 10/01/2008 19:09

I couldn't get the link to work either. Was it balloons or flowers?

Am here this evening until 9, btw then I'll be back tomorrow as usual

Am still grinning inanely and my entire family have now seen pics of egg's ds2 and dd (wow, that looks good, doesn't it! - or should it be dts and dtd? anyway....) dd1 and the littlies were astounded by the gorgeousness of the babies, and dp went "oh yeah" so I think he was secretly impressed

fryalot · 10/01/2008 19:10

marmite - and streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch and streeeeeeeeeetch

Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 19:27

OP posts:
Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 19:28

It was the lil blue and pink teddies that you can send with flowers!

OP posts:
fryalot · 10/01/2008 19:43

well, so far, this is the only thing I can find that has TWO teddies!

(sorry egg, you aint getting that!)

Dropdeadfred · 10/01/2008 19:49

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will try again with a link..

OP posts:
fryalot · 10/01/2008 19:50

Have had a trawl through that site, and others, and it looks like we have to choose either a blue teddy or a pink teddy. Have asked for advice on the twins thread, in case I am missing something or perhaps they know of how to go about getting an extra teddy...
