FR they definitely should not let pregnant women wait! when I went for a meal with some friends someone actually went and asked if they would hurry up with the starter cause it was for her pregnant friend (me!) and they soon brought it out.

EA yay for winning on ebay. Hope your mum gets the crib for you. Better be careful about saying you'll hunt the other person down as it might be someone else on this thread!! lol

I just have two drawers of baby clothes newborn and 0-3 months. Plus a coat and snowsuit in the wardrobe. Now I am worried it won't be enough! Oh well DH can always nip to Tescos if necessary or I'll bundle LO up in blankets till I have done my washing! lol.

I am feeling tired now and could do with an afternoon nap but am visiting a friend at 1.30ish so don't really have time. Maybe a quick catnap.....

Boogellyboo - if we don't hear from you we'll send out a search party (not that we know where you live.......!)

Oh and good news my sisters blood test is clear - yay

YAY for the blood tests

Aww Fidget, hopefully Weezl will be along to interpret your medical language - she seems so good at that sort of thing! Glad you're happy about your induction, but of course we'll keep our fingers crossed you go naturally before then to reduce hospital time! Big hugs...also, I found Caelan on some website when looking at the Irish names section...not sure what it means, I just like the sound!

Aww Fidget sorry it didn't go well this morning for you. Glad you have an earlyish date but can see why you don't want to go in and be in hospital for several days if you hate hospitals. Fingers crossed that you go naturally before then.

lol EA I didn't think you would actually do it it would just be funny if one of us on here were outbidding you and making you annoyed - it definitely isn't me I have my cot

Kindof - scones are looking good. i asked DH last night if he wanted me to make scones but he was like " no thats okay" so i said what about sticky toffee pudding (that SJ put a link to) " no thats not really what I want" grrr will see if I cna find a basic sponge cake for cooking as he seems to want cake at the mo (and I can help him out - if there's any left by the time he gets home from work;) )

Thanks Karen

Fidget

Have just rang to book with MW tomorrow see if I can get a sweep done then as not liking the whole hospital for ages on my own thing.

Oh I don't know if I mentioned this from my appointment at the physio a few weeks back which adds to my anti-hospital mindset. Just as I was entering the maternity annexe I saw a very rough looking woman who appeared to be in her late-fifties to early-sixties putting a cigarette out. She joined me as I got in the lift and then she grinned an extremely toothless grin at me and asked (well slurred) if I'd come to have my baby that day. She absolutely honked of fags and booze and put her head really close to me while she was talking. She then informed me that she had had a c-section that morning to have her baby:eek: All I could think was sweet Jaysus please don't tell me that you are of child-bearing age, what kind of condition is your baby in if you are pished already? and WHAT IF I get someone like you in the bed next to me after the exhaustion of giving birth or dare I say it in the early but painful stages of labour?!:eek:

Just something for you hospital birth ladies to think about

Sorry EA I Will stop now lol

Oh god fidget thats scary lol
