Just scoffed some dairy milk. Food of the Gods I tell you. Grin

yay for MiM`s contractions

Hopefully · 20/03/2012 15:56

MIM that's great news, and as FLE says, even if you end up with a section, all the labouring shows that your baby is definitely ready to come.

Slay I might try that if local shop don't have it, thanks.

OllieinOrange · 20/03/2012 16:22

Oooh am very excited for you MiM, keep em coming (am talking to the contractions obviously)

Just popped into the lovely boutique close to home (via the toy shop - love taking DSs shopping for their brother's birthday presents - think we've ended up with some Star Wars lego which is more for DS1 rather than the birthday boy but anyway).

They are having their bi-annual fashion show on Friday to which some of the Mums from school are going - usually a lovely night out so looking forward to it. A dress caught my eye on the sale rail tho - plain dark taupe/dusky pink silk with long grey fineknit sleeves (sounds an odd colour combo but worked imo). Had 50% off. By Stella Nova which is a Danish brand. Would you buy a dress thats still knocking around so long after the sale started for an absolute steal or would you think hmmm, there is a reason no-one has brought it? Hypothetically of course......

IceCreamCastles · 20/03/2012 16:50

Oh wow MiM- that's brilliant news! Good luck.

Thanks for kind words re dd. She is quite taken with the baby-I think she's just understandably upset/confused about having a half functioning mummy and her routine being thrown. We are having plenty of cuddles, stories etc but I've realised how much I usually rely on picking her up during the day.

Hope you had a good birthday slaymill-sorry i missed that.

Aargh, still at work, can't open links till later. Just realised I have to teach Yr 8 (loads of farmers) 'les autos tamponneuses' on Thursday. Can you just imagine?! (means bumping cars)

blossoming · 20/03/2012 16:55

Fingers crossed mim!

IceCreamCastles · 20/03/2012 17:08

Grin bloss. Good luck with that!

OllieinOrange · 20/03/2012 17:35

One more link for Bloss, this was the white with blue striped top I saw in Top Shop. Not really a breton top but may look good with your JB shorts? here

AntPants1 · 20/03/2012 18:12

Sending labouring vibes to MIM!! n

MidnightinMoscow · 20/03/2012 19:00

Hello.

In hospital, had a bit of a bleed. Being monitored but think I am in labour.

AmberNectarine · 20/03/2012 19:11

Oh MiM I do hope so, and that everything goes smoothly. Very best of luck x

IceCreamCastles · 20/03/2012 19:15

Woooooo! Go MiM!!

Bonsoir · 20/03/2012 19:17

When are you all coming to Paris for a meetup Smile?

Portia4 · 20/03/2012 19:20

Mim best of luck, think of the bundle of joy that you'll soon be cuddling Thanks

MidnightinMoscow · 20/03/2012 19:20

Probably not this evening Bonsoir.

Bonsoir · 20/03/2012 19:22

Good luck Midnight in Moscow - hope it goes well! Paris is baby-clothes shopping heaven, so the Paris MU should be in three months or so!

VerityBrulee · 20/03/2012 19:33

Oh mim how exciting!! Good luck, so Envy that you'll soon have a gorgeous baby in your arms!

Slaymill · 20/03/2012 19:38

Enjoy the cuddles and the toast and tea MiMGrin

OllieinOrange · 20/03/2012 19:48

Very excited for you MiM. Is DH with you? Do you have enough snacks? Sure we can rustle up an Ocado delivery if not? Smile

Not so interesting fact - if baby is born today, he/she will share their birthday with Glen Close, Bruce Willis and Ursula Andrews!

blossoming · 20/03/2012 19:50

Are we going to have our first 'live' birth on the thread? How exciting!

ollie, scarf requirements are: oversized, dark navy/grey/pure white/a little taupe not linen, geometric print, not flowers, not leopard not zebra. Missoni might be good now I think of it. Basically this one which I have, but with a navy background, and 3 times the size at least. I am not fussy, really I'm not!
Thanks for the breton link. It looks lovely, but with a review that said it shrank after washing.
Thanks slaymill too for the dress link. I must remember to pop into FC soon. I like to try on their stuff before commiting!

I am suddenly very nervous, as if mim was family. Is that weird?

blossoming · 20/03/2012 19:52

this is nice too. Make them bigger goddamit, I'm not an air hostess!
