Park your bums and continue the newborn chitter, and due date whinges

Hope everyone is getting on ok with their newborns! Nancy is ace. I was never going to have a fourth baby, but I'm so glad she's here :)

Indom, Tri and Crispy I keep popping in for news!

Ah beaut she is lovely!

Nothing to report here, there's no room for me so I have to phone back later...

beaut, gorgeous. In awe of those with lots of other children to look after in addition to new arrival. Baby plus puppy (13wks) plenty enough here!

beaut all that hair is amazing!.

Eagerly awaiting updates on the 3 babies which should be on their way and wiling yours to stay put for the day indom

Dp and I have both woken up with horrible colds today so we've decided not to get dressed and have ourselves a lazy one. All still in bed at the minute.

Oh magpie I had that, ended up not going in untill 7:30pm waters broke at 10am the next day! I spent that entire day gutting the house and washing clothes etc.

MrsE and Beaut lovely photos!

Maybe and Suz very jealous of your 6 hours! Not a great night here last night but dh took the brunt of it. E was unsettled between 12-3am but he thinks she had tummy ache. Ds woke at 12 claiming he couldn't sleep so I ended up in the spare bed with him until I swapped with dh about 5am. Lots of bags under the eyes for all of us today!

Magpie good luck!

Conor Joseph born at 8:58am @ 41+1 :)

Yay Trijo congratulations!

Congratulations Trijo, great news

Aww thank you! Q she's like a little hairy gorilla, I love it though, took me 4 attempts but I finally had a hairy baby! Hope you feel better soon.

TriJo congratulations!! Can't wait to see pics of little Connor :)

french goodness I would struggle with a puppy! You're doing well!

DH goes to London for a week tomorrow and it's the Easter holidays, so wish me luck! Nah I'm sort of looking forward to it actually

Congratulations TriJo , enjoy your new baby boy hope you are both well.

Congratulations Tri!

So just me & magpie left! (Race you!)

Jokes: I'm not allowed to have this one till tomorrow at the earliest!

Congratulations tri hope you're all recovering well!

beaut rory is a hairy little monkey too - can't believe how much he has on his back and shoulders haha!

Congrats Tri!!

Baby Rory (good name q ;) ) was born at 3.19 this morning. It was a bit traumatic as it was really busy and I couldn't have the pain relief I wanted, but we avoided the drip! Ventouse and episiotomy again. I'm very in love 😍

Pic!

Congratulations Crispy!

Love Rory as a name too! If this one was a girl I'd have called her Aurora, with nn Rory. (There's still a tiny chance, I suppose!)

Oh, he is cute!

Ball of cuteness :)

congratulations crispy and tri

Are there only 2 babies left to turn up now?

We can still race indom! Nothing happening here anytime soon - they just told me they won't take me in now today. I have to start phoning them again in the morning when they might have space. I know it's because they're very busy etc etc but it's really upset and thrown me. DPs are here to babysit, DH keeps trying to be nice and suggesting banal things like 'let's go for another walk to help things progress' and generally irritating me.

Anyway, enough of my whining. Huge congrats to trijo and crispy! Well done both, lovely names and cute pic crispy

How frustrating, magpie. How far over are you now? I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow, to be booked for induction probably next Monday.

I'm only 40w exactly today, but have some risk to the baby to do with a blood-group type problem and also had an unplanned home-birth last time after a VERY brief labour so on balance the safest thing was deemed to induce me as soon as I was 40w. Not that that plan seems to matter to anyone else now . I will be very angry if this baby pops out quickly and unwell at home after the delay. BUT I know really it's not anyone's fault... Dreading the same tomorrow, phoning and phoning. How's your DS birthday celebrations?

Oh crispy and tri they're gorgeous!!

Q I love the downy hair on their bodies! Nancy's got rather hairy ears too!

magpie that's so disappointing. Hopefully tomorrow there'll be some space

Congrats crispy and trijo! Love the pictures - very cute. Hope baby stays put until tomorrow indom!

Sounds stressful magpie. Fingers crossed they have space for you tomorrow.

In awe of those of you getting stretches of six hours! E generally goes 2-3 hours, no more no less. But I find that quite manageable so hopefully it won't get worse. DD1 was the same until about 7 weeks old and then started waking every 1-2 hours and stayed that way for a long time. Really hope this time I have a better sleeper!
