    Thanks all.:)

    We're still here although I really think it's soon now.

    I've been having pains all day, a little like constant monthly pains with a sharper tightening pains thrown in for good measure every so often. If this doesn't go somewhere I'll be surprised. Although this is all new to me as I normally go into full blown labour quickly.

    I'm not in agony but uncomfortable. Been shopping for a little outfit today, pants, shirt and a flat cap..so cute ..for "him" from Mamas&papas to take my mind off it and now trying to rest as much as possible.
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    I think you are just getting to the stage where it needs to be over and done now aren't you. I thought maybe today too with you not posting. Hope it all leads somewhere for you. They do say not to expect the same don't they.:o

    Morning all :o ...still here and it's getting embarrassing now

    After 8/9 hours of constant pain yesterday it all stopped ! Few niggles carried on here and there but nothing to write home about. Why do we get tested like this ? I'm a tough cookie but this is now getting me down.

    OH is still off work until tomorrow, which I'm thankful for as I don't feel able to look after DD on my own with lifting her etc. Although she can walk , she's 13 months she isn't able to walk outside yet.

    We need a bit of shopping today to keep everything in stock for when Baby Blue does arrive ( Hint , hint!) and a trip to the bank as his dad has found a old bank account book in OH's name he "forgot" about. It has £7.52 left in it since the last entry in 1990 so we'll see if he's now worth millions or not! Either way due to the B&Q spends last month we are about £1500 over-budget and I need to claw it back so any extra will help. ( We do have other money in the account we can fall back on and borrow but all the same I want to be straight)

    Thanks for posting and your comments , they really are keeping me going . I'll catch up with diaries when I'm not so down with it all.
