Dec 08 mums - any more for any more?

[JumpJockey]

New thread! Hope this is ok :)

Oooh, bets!

14th May, only just. 00.07.

Weight: 9lbs 2oz.

Arti, I might do my big catch up tonight and you can yawn the baby out...

I am going for 3:22am 9lb 5oz

Oh please do LadyT, I need distraction. Things starting to really hurt now but trying to keep busy. Have now beaten DH at cards and finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (recommended, I liked it). I'm about to run out if data allowance though. Disaster! Why don't hospitals have wifi??? I'd pay the NHS good money for wifi.

I think you need to log in on DH's phone

I will try to finish it a bonne heure. Actually, Beans recommended that book to me and I still haven't read it (I will though). My next book group book is an unappealing volume called The Giver. I think it's a teen/young adult book and it depicts a dystopian futuristic world, all of which do the precise opposite of tick my box.

Hennyway, apart from hopefully doing my catch up I am shortly going to eat my homemade butternut squash, spelt and lemon thyme soup. Now, don't all rush to ask me for the recipe at once as if

Arti if you want boring ramble, count on me to accommodate. I have free wifi at the Cheesecake Factory
Hmm 5 years wow Yes I remember the time I signed up to MN. Was sitting on my couch in Devon with a new puppy. Pregnant, new I was moving back to London area within 6 months, didn't bother meeting any local mums, slightly nervous as 1st baby and no family around (and living quite remote) You lot have been a lifeline!

Cross posted lady. That soup sounds delightful. And you claim not to cook!

Crikey Arti. No wifi?? Thats crap.

I've never gone over data allowance...... That I know of

Hospitals suck. I think dh owes it to you to hand over the phone

Ooh, I'm trying to read Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother for book club tomorrow. Struggling a bit.

Harold Fry lovely! My Mum hated it though!

DD1 afflicted by godawful cough and cannot go to sleep. Think I have finally settled her. DH manfully mowing in the rain so he doesn't have to at weekend. I am avoiding windows onto garden so I don't get roped into moving outdoor furniture. Given every room in the downstairs looks onto garden apart from the loo, I'm standing in the corridor! Evil me!

Oh Arti, you are doing so well. Remember your breathing. Deep breaths through the contractions. We're all rooting for you! It's rather wonderful! X

Love it beans. Brilliant.
How does dh mow in rain? Isn't it soggy?
Arti are you there? Or data zero?
The stark contrast between intellectual and classy ladyt (and beans) to Rubena posts must be at least a little Borden alleviating!

Boredom I clearly meant!

Gosh I was wailing for drugs about 2 hours into my induction. You are clearly made of girders.

I predict c 2am arrival, bonny lad bouncing in at 10lb 2. Very excited. The only live birth thread I've done has been for cats xxx

I'm here reading away. Feeling a bit sorry for myself that things aren't obviously progressing yet have progressed enough to mean I can't sleep or rest. I need to get my energy back somehow.

Don't even ask me why I am over data allowance. DH and I are completely incapable of sorting basic telecommunications. My iPhone refuses to log on to our home wifi so I do everything on 3G and as all my MN, FB and eVay is done via phone that's quite a bit if data. Plus work emails with big attachments.

Can you eat? Maybe something like a cheese sandwich which will give you energy ? So excited for your lovely boy. What a wonderful family he is joining.

Are your waters still there or have they gone?

Oh Arti how exciting. Stab in the dark, I would say 1.37 14th. I think I am really just willing it to be not too long away. I think in honesty I'd like it to be today, around 11pm. Ds2 was born on the 13th its a lovely date.

Beans I've read battle him of the tiger mother for a book club. I kept reading it hoping for her to change or something. I won't ruin it for you....but I didn't like it.

Still no movement on the 3rd decision. Though my brother's 2nd wife is pregnant with their 2nd. It will be his 6th child, he is 47.

Rubes that is terrible news about that cyclist. I lost a very beautiful friend when I was pregnant with ds1. He was hit whilst out on a training ride by a driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel. Australian roads scare me for cycling. Driving attitudes really need to change over there.

Thanks Vag x Yeah turns out it was an 18 year old who blew .08- bastard. Its so sad. Yes I remember that when you posted. As my brother said, changes your perspective entirely. Poor girl and her family.

Arti I see yes if it's work related stuff as well. No doubt.

Arti, I hope you can maybe get a bit of rest.

If the past few nights are anything to go by I'll probably be awake if you post.

I never thought a baby could sleep as badly as DS2. I was wrong.

Drat, I was too keen, my bet has passed! Can I make another? I'm also willing the 13th Vag, as its my DD2s birthday too.

Its probably a bit late now Arti but when I was having ds2 I ate noodles and nut & seed bars. Later in the labour I drank lots of sweet milky tea. It really sorted me out energy wise.

Oh and if any of you believe in miracles keep your fingers crossed for us. We have really bad credit ratings but a company thinks they can help DH secure a mortgage. They will ring tomorrow. We are fully expecting it to be a no but we can dream.

White light for you Kayz.

14th may, 3.33am. Go arti hope your doing okay and necessary drugs doing their thing!

Question for everyone, how many of the Dec 08 children are TT at night?? DS is nowhere near! Getting a bit of grief from mum that he should be. But his pull ups are wet through on the morning. For the past few nights I've gone in and lifted him but even after an hour he's peed. So short of lifting him on the hour, every hour I've no idea what to do. Days he's absolutely fine no issues!!

X Posts there! Kayz I hope things work out for you re: the mortgage.

Deids DS2 has been dry for a week. He just decided he was a big boy now.

I say 02.08 14 May, 9lbs 15.

Kayz, hope it's good news on the mortgage.

Deids, DS is the same re nighttime TT. I only tried lifting him once as he was totally distraught. We have had one dry pull-up overnight ever. I'm not worried yet. It is difficult when family members make unhelpful comments though.

How very odd Deids I was going to say the exact same time!!!
I will say 313am then as I have a weird thing with 3's
Deids I don't lift ds (never have, probably should) and every night I put pull up on. Sometimes I hear him get up and pee in the night, and he's dry in morn but MOST nights there's a little wee in there. My bro's youngest was nearly 6. Don't worry. I'm not. My mil is the same, yet not open about it. It's more the quiet comments. I don't care.
