ooooh... we have a race on..

So.. who will pop first?... Fern or esio????????

I think mine is a starfish!!!! I seem to have elbows and knees and feet out the sides/front and a big fat bum at the top.. head is firmly wedged in the pelvis but I can feel it rattling about in there.

Btw; Did anyone else receive their Graco 'i love my baby bump' tshirt? Mine came today, just trying it on, its nice and big thankfully!! I had totally forgot about it and it took me ages to work out what it was!

Just been trying to up our joint account overdraft online as when I'm off work we will need it to be much bigger, upping it will cost £25 which I think is a con! I looked into upping the overdraft on my personal account and its free... so I have increased that by £1000... just incase. Would prefer the joint to be higher but I spose I can always move things around!! Stupid being charged for one and not the other, I only have a basic account?!?

pigpen- he he, made me giggle! Esio definitely if my last labour is anything to go by

I'm off to the shop as I really need some chocolate- anyone want anything while I'm there?

I doubt it'll be me. 1. It's a first 2. still not that painful 3. still no more frequent 4. no more of a show and no further signs of leaky waters - though I've been upright and not lying down so baby might still be being a plug and 5. I'm just not that lucky!

Heading off for a bath shortly, see if I can at least be comfortable if things aren't going to progress!

lol.. my first was one of my quickest!! I didn't think it hurt until about 8cm.. other than half an hour from 5-6cm.. mine never got more than 10 minutes apart.. once the show is gone it is gone.. it just gets to be like yellow/green tinged mucus then.. think mine lasted about 2 loo wipes most times.

rocking backwards and forwards shifts baby enough to allow water to escape..

Esio make sure your bath isnt a hot one or it will stop everything dead as some of previous ladies can vouch for i was told not to get inot a bath or birth pool until at least 4cm dialated and labour was established. fingers crossed this is it and it doesnt drag out to long for you :-) x

Same goes for fernliee :-) x

speedy vibes for esio & fernliebee

Bubs has been v quiet again here today though has definitely been moving a bit. I think I notice less when I'm working and sitting up.

Had a lovely chat with my friend on the phone tonight who has 4 kids, she had twins who were 8.5lb each...and she's 5'1" and has size 3 feet...needless to say she had a section! I also had a cool bath which was delightful!

Think I am ready for bed soon, no point staying up for the sake of it, though it took me hours to get off to sleep last night in the heat.

I had no joy with sandals, need to try Jones in the morning on the way to work but John Lewis were useful and the assistants seemed put out that I dared to interrupt their nattering with a question!
