Eve I know you are right and I should be appreciative of my time now I think though I'm a bit anxious about when it's going to happen and also the how do I just want it to happen plus I don't want to be wirriedabout going too overdue and having something wrong with the baby. It's just irrational first time mum fears I think!

 

[mummySS]

Eve I felt the same as you until about 2 days ago but now I'm def ready for it to come.... Bring it on

Hannah - honestly people just don't think when they write things on your wall. Don't take it to heart... (I did see that actually this morning and knew it would piss you off!)

Well I've had a shower and feel better now... It's the small things...! I'm actually supposed to be at a wedding today, but I declined ages ago as I thought id have a little newborn by now! LOL

Mel - how are you feeling?

One of the good things about being very overdue is that people have stopped asking and texting now! I guess they are fed up of waiting too! Haha

 

[Aaisrie]

Hann it wouldn't have mattered what anyone said to me first time round I felt the EXACT same!!! I think this time for me has been SO different because I've already done it and I already have a little 'un so I feel differently about it because I sorta know what's coming... obviously no labour can be planned but I know what I've got to "look forward to" afterwards and how tired I will be after and experiences and feelings which I never would have thought of before actually having a child and how different it is having your own child vs looking after kids etc It's not that I "know it all" I soooo don't! I just have more idea what to expect!!

 

[Hann12]

Simmy - I felt like my response was pretty restrained bearing in mind what an annoying comment it was. I could kind of understand it if it was one of our parents who would be there the next day but not a distant relative!
I'm glad you have stopped being bothered by people.

Eve - you actually help me chill out! I aspire to be as laid back as you about it all!

We have just booked to go to a Chinese restaurant in Wandsworth for dinner. Greg decided it could be our last opportunity to go out (so many times have we said this!!) and he thinks I need to get out! Looking forward to it. And just had a nap and we DTD so all in all it's been a good day really! Already getting some cramping from DTD so hopefully baby will get the hint soon! Going for the hot and sour soup to start with tonight.....

 

[mummySS]

Yes i thought you were pretty restrained too! Enjoy chinese tonight - on the plus side at least you get to keep going out for lovely meals

 

[Hann12]

Thanks - and very true, we are making the most of nice food before the baby comes and we can't get out!! Hope you have a good evening - I'll be back on later and hopefully we will have some babies coming!! Surely one of us will be in luck tonight!

 

[Aaisrie]

Hann I'm glad you said that!! I feel like the annoying 2nd time mum who is trying to give advice not wanted!! But as I said it wouldn't have mattered to me how many people told me I'd miss being pregnant etc etc it doesn't change the feeling of a first time mum!!! I was psychotic at the end of my pregnancy with Saraya "when, how where" was all I cared about! It was like GIMME MY BABY NOWWWWWW lol I'm chilled this time because I know what I'll miss and how hard it is with a newborn, don't get me wrong I'm SUPER excited about Atticus arriving and I can't wait to see him but I also I want to treasure every second of my pregnancy because I remember how gutted I was as soon as Saraya was out. I really missed being pregnant, as annoying, painful and uncomfortable as pregnancy is!!! LOL

[Aaisrie]

Hann what was the horrid comment??

 

[Hann12]

Oh just one of Gregs cousins is on holiday and said on my fb page that she hopes the baby doesn't come until she is back from holiday (which is Thursday). She lives in liverpool so it makes no difference whether she is on holiday or at home as she won't be here to see the baby when its born anyway so it was just unnecessary. People just don't think!

 

[Aaisrie]

LOL Hann I hope you told her she was a silly bitch! I got my first "have you popped yet" msg yesterday! I think I've done pretty well so far considering that was at 39 +4 for my first msg :] If I can walk I wanna pop to Babies R Us tomorrow and get some bits and pieces like a change mat - Chris put the change table together in our room today :] I've been nesting and dusted and cleaned a LOT even though I can hardly walk right now lol

 

[melissasbump]

Hi ladies.

Jenn, so sorry to hear your news, especially after getting this far, better for them to air on the side of caution though, i hope your scan goes well tommorrow xx

Hann, seen and noted the fb comment, i kind of though that was a bit cheeky too! Have a nice meal out and well done for DTD! Ive even given up with that now.

Simmy, think ive been the same as you today.. fed up and the weather hasnt helped.

Eve i dont think you are an annoying 2nd time mum at all, if you werent left in here with is i think all is 1st timers would have driven ourselves insane by now!

Well AFM had a bit of a BLA day and not accomplished a lot at all. Nothing further to report on the "signs" front except intermittent cramping and stretching. Mum keeps ringing me too which is getting a bit annoying too.."any signs Melissa?" NO!!!!

 

[Aaisrie]

LOL Mel I can so imagine you screaming down the phone at your mum. Everytime I ring Patricia she answers the phone saying "are you in labour?" lol

I'm sitting here willing my pelvis to allow me to finish packing my hospital bag lol I realised the other day that Atticus had no socks but fortunately I picked some up in Tesco yesterday - a pack of 2 reduced to £1 and another thicker 2 pack reduced to £0.50!

 

[Jenni4]

Is anyone else's bnb acting up or is it just mine??

We haven't heard from Starry lately have we??

 

[melissasbump]

my bnb is ok, internet connection always a bit dodgy though!
No not heard from Starry! Maybe shes off having her baby! x

 

[Tor81]

Hi Girls

Just thought I'd post quickly to say STILL no signs for me! Been out walking since 12.30, just got home and have taken up residence on the sofa with a cold foot bath.

Will catch up properly later, hopefully someone here is having more luck than me at evicting their baby.

Hope you're all enjoying the weekend.

xx

Did any of you see Sherri's msg on my photo on FB:

Sherri Elkey-Bidder Keep him in there!!! I am now the Beach Bump advocate for NOT birthing babies. Wanna know what time I got to sleep at? 7:00... AM. Wanna know what time he woke up at 9:00... AM. I mean, Atticus can't get much bigger right? So you know... Just keep your legs closed maybe...

Sherri Elkey-Bidder You know, if they want to take care of a baby that much, they can have mine! He's cute and comes with an extensive wardrobe. Taking offers...

[Hann12]

Oh dear Eve! I have a feeling she wrote something similar on mels wall too

Since DTD I am having ridiculous contractions! On our way to dinner now. I know I am being teased but my goodness they hurt!

Mel - LOL at the situation with your mum - don't you just love them!

Tor - still have hope for you tonight!

 

[Hann12]

Curlew - both are so cute you lucky lady!
