Hi! I thought I'd better start a new thread now because it might get busy tomorrow morning and I don't want to lose you all Grin

I didn't know about the limit. I'm still completely humbled that I've had so many well-wishers Smile, so I feel a little self conscious. Although I think we've all been led down this path by the baby somewhat!

Am completely knackered tonight so will say goodnight and will endeavour to keep you posted on happenings tomorrow.

Thanks once again for keeping me company xxx

I've been lurking too and have just told dh about your story- think it's the only mn story he's ever sounded interested in and actually responded with a conversation about it!
Good luck, hope it doesn't drag on too long.

This is so exciting!! (I wonder if labour is easier or harder when you know that hundreds of people are waiting for you to finish!?)

Hi southsea De-lurked to wish you luck on the last thread and wanted to pop on to this one to see how you are doing. Can't wait to hear your news. Having got a very new LO of my own who arrived in fairly stressful circumstances (altho yours trumps it by a long stretch Grin) I am really keeping it all crossed for you xx

Just wanted to check if president Jemima Pebble has arrived my new ETA for your bubs 3pm tomorrow, wishing you a smooth delivery (sending out positive vibes and a cold G&T). Smile

My husband is betting on a girl at 2.9kg! Hope things are going OK and hugs from this little patch of blighty.

No news. After absolutely no change with the tablet I'm now on Cervidil. It was unpleasant having it inserted. Some KY wouldn't have gone amiss! But maybe it interferes with it, I don't know. The worst bit is continuous monitoring, all night Sad. I'm hoping I can take a sleeping tablet (they let you have those here).

Things may have changed by morning, I will let you know.

Phoned someone about immigration. She helpfully told us we need a name to put on the passport. Grin Brilliant!
