AUGUST 2008 - Relax and Enjoy

[TwilightSurfer]

LOL! I didn't want to put any pressure on "you know who."

buckets - brilliant idea re voucher although I already offer free local delivery but it saves me baking more that weekend!

crispy - will do that tomorrow

Hots - did you ask for it sorry!

Need to go to bed, hope TS and Springa will be along to keep tweaky company if she is contracting in the night [excited]

See you in the morning, if we have not all been washed away by then...

its not raining here although I'll no doubt regret THAT statement in the morning!!!

night all

I'm still here.

Just working on some "room mom" related stuff. Yep I found an IN and am running with it. It has nothing to do with the room stuff that the "official" room moms are in charge of.

Going to bed. Tweakers I hope you having a lovely evening.

Tweakers am here if you need me!

TS good news on the Room Mom 'in'

Crispy you're not a horrible person just capable of saying 'no' - a very useful skill to have

good morning alll

got woken by a strange crampy feeling at about 4.30
can't imagine for the life of me what it was...perhaps i'm getting my period

DH was funny last night, his last words to me were... "i really don't want to go to work tomorrow"
If we're not starting things up again now, I'm going to see if he can work from home. there's a train strike so his journey is going to be a nightmare both ways and I can really do with him not being stuck in town today!!

so, who's on duty at the moment?

right, need to keep track of my surges somewhere so what better place than here

just had one in case anyone's wondering

hmm, just had another surge so think that's about 7mins since the last one...

ok, proper timing obviously needed here, i'm off to find TS's contraction timer (she linked us all to it a couple of years ago)

bums...can't find the cunning link i've got hidden away somewhere

just had another one so that's erm about another 7mins...wondering whether i should wake DH yet...

If it's 7 mins - don't you need to call the midwife?!!

Oh and am on duty for a little longer if you need me.

ooh hiya springalinglong

pleased to see the rota's working!

hmm, i'm wondering if they are as close as 7mins though, just remembered i put an contraction app on my itouch thing so as of next one, i'll be timing but yes, if they really are 7mins, i'll call the mw..promise

so how are you? what's the time there at the moment?

It's 12.24pm so I'm thinking about going home in the next half an hour via the embassy as I need to submit my passport application so don't go giving birth in the next hour or so . Will be back on at about 2pm by which time I expect Loti, Crispy or one of the other early risers might be around to help out!

bloody hope its not going to be in the next hour... that's not enough time to get
a) water in the pool
b) DS to mum's
c) DH awake
d) me scoffing my labour stash of goodies...hmm, that reminds me... fancy a bit of flapjack?

just thought i'd add..... i'm really really excited about this!

it all feels quite surreal but its surreally exciting

i'm having a baby

(don't panic, not right this second!)

oh no... DS waking up....

DS asleep again
i've called mw
DH awake...eventually (he asked if i could wait til the morning to have her)

so, if i disappear, its because i'm being socialable with DH

right, off to find some flapjack!

Yay! Hope all goes well. I'm off for a bit so see you soon.

DS on his way to mum's. DH almost in panic mode but not quite

surges are quite often now

mw has said to wait until they hurt before calling her again. slight problem with that is that my pain threshold is high and they're not actually hurting (prob due to hypnobirthing thingy)

hope you get your passport sorted ok spring

So exciting! On my way home and if ds is having a ling sleep will hopefully be around for another hour or so.

GOOOOOOOO Tweaky and Pea... I'm here for a bit if u need support!! Off to Dublin with irlies today for flying visit so if u can have pea before i leave at 2.30pm that would be marvellous ..

Morning Springa/VG...

VG horribly short notice but around donnybrook for most of tom if u are around??? xx

YAY tweaky YAY - I am hoping that you are currently birthing your baby and that is why you are not here :)

Morning VG/Loti/Springs
