People are starting to talk
The people that Scratchy works with, for example. They’re starting to think he’s making it up about me having a baby so that he can get the extra leave (a whole three days!)
The neighbours. If my kids don’t make an appearance outside by early afternoon, a neighbour will often send a child over to invite them out to play…”oh, and ask how their mum is”.
We’ve done the hot-food-hot-bath-etc thing. And I’m still not in labour. Not even slightly. This baby has obviously inherited the stubborn gene (which could have come from either side) and completely failed to notice the strong presence of the impatience gene in his/her mother.
We had J & K’s two kids here this morning so they could go for a meeting. They (as in all the kids, not just the visiting ones) trashed the bedrooms, made a lot of noise, then got thrown out into the garden (because I’m not in the mood, okay?). Now I’m sitting here eating an afternoon snack (Indian food…) and listening to the Holly Cole Trio. And waiting *sigh*

Him/her is most likely enjoying the spices, lazing away thinking, nah, not coming out yet ;o)
Come one baby, I’m trying to avoid the PC, but your arrival is too important to miss.
XXXXXXX
More labour vibes coming your way…. I do so remember the agony of impatience with Fergus who was so late - 42 + 4 so if you go past tomorrow you’ve beaten me
Sex, in an all fours position is my top tip - maybe TMI there…..
Tracy - ROFL - I wonder if this one will go “Bam!”?
Jenny - I went to 42+4 with M, so this isn’t unheard-of, but it will set a record for me if I go past tomorrow too. As for your other tip…um, you name it, we’ve tried it….
Worked for me too, but likewise Max’d collegues got dubious, especially after i wouldn’t let him go to Germany when i was 38 weeks!
How’re you doing? Keeping fingers crossed. Much love

Just thought I’d drop by and say Hello because I don’t think you were here before I went on holiday!!
