...just checking... no news... we are all on tenterhooks Hyena !!!

impala love the photos on FB - what is the name/make if the keyboard E is playing with ? I am desperately looking for ideas for bday and xmas gifts for E - people keep asking me what they can buy him and I am clueless. He is getting a smart trike and a wee wooden trike for indoors so far - any of you mums got ideas for gift ideas for a 1 year old ?...

Hyena · 05/11/2009 08:45

Still here! Cold is much better today but Panda's prediction doesn't look like it's going to come true for the moment....

Meeeow · 05/11/2009 09:23

Just popping in to check on the Hyena cub's progress....good luck hon almost there!

oh and i second fruity's wtf!!!???

hippopotamum · 05/11/2009 09:28

Just checking on the cub - COME ON little man your mum is feeling better now !!!

Hyena · 05/11/2009 15:08

Still nothing - I have 9 hours to get cracking if Panda's prediction is correct....speaking of which, the door just knocked and I had a lovely parcel from Panda. Thanks so much hun. You shouldn't have. xxxx

Have spent the day shopping/organising/wrapping. DD's things are ready for school tomorrow. What can I do next?

MW at 1.30 tomorrow hopefully for S&S. Wonder if they'll do one at 41 weeks?

Hyena · 06/11/2009 14:23

Just back from MW. She did a S&S and will do two more - Sun and Tues. No date for induction as yet but they'll book that over the weekend. This weather is still yuk!

Fruitbatlings · 06/11/2009 18:43

hopefully the S&S will help! London weather is crud too

hippopotamum · 06/11/2009 20:27

yeay Hyena let's hope the sweep does the trick. You should come and sit in my garden, the noise of the neighbour's fireworks would scare him out ! I have no idea how E is managing to sleep through the banging... I just hope he doesn't wake.
We are off on holiday to Northern Ireland on Sunday but DP has just bought a tiny Notebook to take with us so hopefully can logon and find out any news...

Hyena · 07/11/2009 10:54

Still here, as expected. Have had quite a productive morning in the house. Am finding it much easier if I keep myself busy.
Have been thinking about being induced more and more and how crud it is to be strapped to the bed and stuck on monitors for the whole labour. If that's the case I've decided to take a tick list of pain relief and go through them one by one for fun.
Ah well, this time next week it may all be over.
Is the weather in London brighter today Fruit?
Have a fantastic time in Northern Ireland Hippo.

Hyena · 07/11/2009 10:56

Might as well update.......

How can Little E also be one in less than four weeks?!!!

Went to loo at lunch time and think I had a show. TMI but there was tonnes of it - jelly like, clear and stretchy. Wonder if it's just because of sweep though.

Fruitbatlings · 07/11/2009 18:01

wooooooooo, Hyena! Keep us posted!

Meeeow · 07/11/2009 18:51

hyena Nice show! Cervix must have been 'favouable' as they say! Good sign! 'I' came after my second s+s but a show is fab news!

havingagiraffe · 07/11/2009 18:53

Exciting exciting hyena although if mine is anything to go by Hyena cub should arrive sometime on Monday. Sorry, sorry not what you need to hear.

So glad you did the list, I was only thinking it yesterday as E is one and can't believe it!!

Our Zoo has been very quiet lately and we have a few empty cages, although am hoping that the panda enclosure is empty because she is working on that gorgeous little Panda cub.

Hope everyone is well and would be great to hear from you all.

Hippo Love the superman photos, E is a poppet or should I say a wee poppet. Impala Gorgeous photos from you too - cannot believe it's a year, can you?

Not much sleep in the Giraffe enclosure as I have a 'calf' that thinks sleep is for wimps but each night at a time. Fingers crossed for tonight then!

Anyway, must go. DP is doing bedtime lock, stock and barrel so that I can watch Stricly so better give it my full attention.

Hyena · 07/11/2009 19:47

Still no news (although DP was desperate to see the rugby and I'm pretty keen to watch XFactor) so I'm not bothered.
Not sure when the MW is coming tomorrow - sometime in the am I guess. I'll still be here waiting . Trust me to be 15 days overdue the first time and 8+ this time. We've been waiting so long for this LO that a few more days means nothing.
Giraffe Fingers crossed for little N giving in tonight and letting you get some rest. x

Fruitbatlings · 07/11/2009 21:48

Well I might just have to log on in the middle of the night when I'm on my third broken night in a row - J has a bad cough and is being all "male" about it
Maybe you will have some exciting news for us Hyena

Meeeow · 08/11/2009 09:23

if you read back my last post it sounds like I got on with my mw a bit too well!!!

Hyena · 08/11/2009 09:48

Nope, no exciting news. Still here. Don't know what time to expect the MW but hope it's before lunch because we have 3 birthday parties today - can't wait .

PenguinPoo · 08/11/2009 10:01

Sorry I've not been on much this week but feeling a bit low, although my many text updates from Hyena have been keeping me going
Hyena Like you said last night your lo is well trained and knows not to appear during X Factor or House Let's hope Giraffes prediction of tomorrow is right
Impala Love the pictures on FB of the naming ceremony, can't believe E is one now, time flies! Hope you found somewhere to store all the wonderful presents?
Hippo FB is playing up now so can't check out E's latests pictures Hope all is well with you though?
Panda Just because you posted 100 times in one day doesn't cover you for a week you know How's the clomid saving scheme coming on?
Fruit Hope J's man boy cough gets better soon
Giraffe Sorry to hear your "calf" is giving you night troubles, maybe he needs sedating
Meeow What time did the woman next door stop screaming??

Hyena · 08/11/2009 11:01

MW had just gone. Second s&s more painful because plug has gone. Things still much the same as they were but cervix more central and less prosterior. Booked in for induction on Thurs. They'll hopefully just be able to break waters and wack the syntocyn in .

Meeeow · 08/11/2009 19:56

penguin sorry your down pop in more and let us help out. As for the crazy woman next door, she yelled for the usual half hour!! Great parenting on her part, wake up your 3 under 7's shouting at your teenage delinquent! Way to go!

Hyena glad the potential induction should be less medical, that's exactly what they offered me but 3 days before she arrived, so good luck!

havingagiraffe · 08/11/2009 20:18

Fingers crossed that things have started to move along hyena, although after tonight's X-factor of course!

Meeow Your neighbour sounds like a nightmare. If only we were all rich enough to live in big piles in the country where no-one disturbs!

Isn't it funny that when we are feeling down we all stay away, when in fact it is the one time we should be here more than ever as we know we make each other feel better. Hope you are brighter now Penguin Anything we can help with?

Had a lovely quiet weekend, mainly sorting out Christening things as N is getting baptised in 2 weeks so loads to do although have my outfit and the booze sorted so most important jobs done
