I don't know who I sent the text to and who I didn't - I've got an April Girls group on my phone but can't find out how to look at who's in it

Home bith too - am so pleased for Leaky because we all know how much that meant to her.

TheThreadPA · 24/04/2009 08:11

I'd not caught up since she was worried it was happening too early so I was really pleased to get the text this morning. So good that Mr Leaky was able (and willing in the first place!) to work on his fears so Leaky could have such a special birth

Although it sounds like it might have been at home whether they liked it or not!

elkiedee · 24/04/2009 09:02

Congratulations again Leaky on achieving the birth you wanted (good job useless bloke did come back to clear up mess when demanded) and well done Mr Leaky for supporting her choice in spite of nerves.

Today should have been Danny's birthday!

StealthPolarBear · 24/04/2009 09:03

Yesterday was Tristan's
Tomorrow, at 7.30 I have my first contraction!

oooggs · 24/04/2009 09:38

Woo Hoo how exciting and a HUGE welcome to Iris

cheers you fantastic PA for brightening up my manic morning with a text - gave me 5 seconds to stop and read it

Leaky you are a star and Mr Leaky well done. Now I am in tears .

Claire2009 · 24/04/2009 10:28

Wow! Congratulations Leaky! Beautiful name & weight!

Hello all

StealthPolarBear · 24/04/2009 10:40

Hi Claire!
Think I missed a post from you in the excitement...back in a sec

StealthPolarBear · 24/04/2009 10:41

ah, waxy ears!

Sexonlegs · 24/04/2009 10:58

Fantastic news!!! Congratulations to the Leaky family What a beautiful name. I am so pleased you had the birth you had hoped for. Enjoy xx

Hi Pillock - long time no see.

Apologies, I meant to wish Dylan a very Happy Birthday yesterday

Hi to all the other mummies. Where is Maveta these days?

cazboldy · 24/04/2009 11:19

Many many congrats to all in the leaky household!

Happy Birthday to Dylan for yesterday

Thank you all for your good wishes about Bryn (the pony)

Vet is coming at 2 , so fingers crossed

geordieminx · 24/04/2009 11:36

Just realised that Leaky had the outlaws staying last night... or maybe they are comin today?

Pesha · 24/04/2009 12:28

Hello!!!

Congratulations Leaky!!! Very glad you got your home birth Looking forward to hearing all the details!!

Thank you for all Dylan's Happy Birthday messages We had a really lovley day. j had day off work and we went to local country park in the day, D was just as happy to walk around looking at the water and ducks and trees and airplanes and mud and flys and everything single other thing he saw as he was playing on the swings and slide which makes a nice change from Nathan who was always very hard to get past the swings! Weather was really lovely and sunny and very few people about and it was just really lovely Then pizza hut for tea with the older 2 after school which also went really well and even Maia couldnt find anything to whinge about!!

Dylan has just fallen asleep on sofa and as I was up half the night with dodgy tummy and sill feel sicky and bleurgh I'm going to try and get some sleep too while I can! Will try and come back again soon though and catch up properly.

And apols for my absence and the fact that I keep saying I will try and keep up but I never do! I am so busy at mo trying to get everything done for CMing so when I do sit down I'm shattered! I manage the odd brief FB browse but thats about it! Have now done my exam and my EYFS course though and application form just needs me to fill in address of references and will be sent off so just a few more little jobs around the house oh and about a million policies, procedures and risk assessments to do and a portfolio to compile. Hmm I may be absent for a while longer!

elkiedee · 24/04/2009 12:30

Good to see you Pesha. Maybe next time I have a nose at the CMing threads you'll be there as one.

phdlife · 24/04/2009 12:37
