Okay ladies
off to Center Parcs last night, had a lovely time all the Christmas stuff out and DCs so excited. Had a lovely evening, went shopping out for a meal and then walked through all the Christmas lights and decorations. Saw reindeer and evrything magical. Ate cheese late on and had indigestion and cramps all night. Was up from 3:25 until 4:55. Waters went at 7:15 this morning in bed, got up and pootled around, told DH at 8:15 and got Mum to come and look after DCs they should by now on their pony rides to santas woodland workshop.

Drove home and started having contractions ended up 5 mins apart, rang MW as soon as home. Had a shower and they fell right off. MW been round and sent me to hospital for Group B Strep swabs, back at home now and having intermittent contractions. Waters still leaking.

DH has wired up the TENS machine and is sat waiting for me to get it on. Will keep you updated as and when something happens. Keep your fingers crossed as booked in for induction on Tuesday if baby not here by then, off to go and yomp around to try and walk this baby out of here.

Much love CM x

I hope that the cx's kick in pronto and you have baby in your arms this side of midnight. Lots of love to you xx

ShowOfHands · 21/11/2009 15:36

Oh wow! Happy yomping. I am ridiculously excited for you.

SKYTVADDICT · 21/11/2009 17:03

How exciting CM - so glad I have pc back up and running. Will have to keep checking in. Good luck x

Themasterandmargaritas · 21/11/2009 17:30

Sending strong yomping vibes!! I'm ridiculously excited. Good luck. I hope dd has her barbie bucket at the ready

Tillyscoutsmum · 21/11/2009 18:51

How exciting Charley Hope everything goes well and will look out for news.

Ronaldinhio · 21/11/2009 19:02

one of my bf was my ex many moons ago he is now the godfather to both my beasts and defacto family to my family
i adore him and he me
in truth i'd fight for him above all other as he would do the same for me
he holds the trust for my beasts if i die as i trust him implicitly and beyond dh and his "broken hearted I'm a widower, poor dead wife, new wife, inherits old wife's dosh, scarpers taking wealth with her, meant for the girls"....I rattle chains endlessly but he moves on endlesslt repeat to fade

charleymouse · 21/11/2009 19:28

Okay
had a brief nap as was up half the night, contractions seem to be coming regularly now, not too frequent but regular.

DD and DS still at Centerparcs, seemed a shame to drag them home so dropped them off for their ctivities this morning, missing my pregnancy treatment and DHs spa session. . My Mum has gone in to collect them and has taken them on their santa pony ride (DS wouldn't get on the pony) and taken them to see Santa. We are booked in for a meal tomorrow night when the fireworks go off and it seems a shame to drag them home until something has happened.

The only thing is I had not realised my Mum had not actually been back since my Dad died there five years ago. I think the fact she has gone back without having to think about it and has got the DCs to concentrate on may help her get through it.

Quite annoying now these CXs.

Just had to walk about in middle of dinner as a bit uncomfy Ooooh.

Ronaldinhio · 21/11/2009 19:55

Contractions every 10 mins since 20:02, had a show at 21:06.

Hopefully things moving along. MW popping out just after 22:00 to check all okay.

LG&T we know what you're doing. hope you are having a good evening with DH home.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Can't always get a signal on my mobile whilst at home so excuse me if I am not replying, I have also left my charger at Centerparcs. DOH.

Will keep you updated.

ShowOfHands · 21/11/2009 21:54

Sounds wonderful. Nice slow build, just what you need. No yomping, try and take it a bit easy. I'm here for a while if you need a distraction. I can sing terrible folk songs to amuse you.

JamInMyWellies · 21/11/2009 21:56

Good girl, breathe through the contractions cant wait to hear the news.

AM will you text me if you find out before Charley gets a chance to post.

Went to France today, was lovely the sun shone all day thank god. The boys were brilliant. We only took the single buggy and my beco carrier. Got some looks from the locals with Archie slung on my back.

Moijaimelacountry · 21/11/2009 22:20

Lullaby please SOH.

ShowOfHands · 21/11/2009 23:25

"So lay me down gently, oh lay me down low,
I fear I am broken and won't mend, I know.
One thing I ask when the stars light the skies,
Who now will sing me lullabies,
Oh who now will sing me lullabies."

Beautiful song.

ShowOfHands · 21/11/2009 23:29

Listen to this amazing lady though. Don't listen to me.

Themasterandmargaritas · 22/11/2009 03:42

Charle I'm here on early morning shift if you need more singing. I'm in a tent up at the crack of dawn I beg of you.
