I know! I can't believe August is almost over! And everyone else has popped pretty much on time.

And I soooo can't wait to meet my little boy!!

look at my ticker - I am 43weeks & 4 days pregnant!! Lol!.. now noone has gone this long.. he he.. Promise to change it before I am next on

Congraulations chonni!

I'm sending you labour vibes Italiah!

Thanks for the labour vibes girls - I feel them!!!

Have been having cramps the past 2 nights, but all ceases in the morning. But today everytime I go to walk it feels like he's going to "fall out" & it's sooo uncomfortable & painful! Had to get my mum to pick up the kids & take Rico to kindy, & there is no way I can get the groceries, I can hardly walk. See my MW at 3:30 today, so will be interesting to see what she says. Although she may have to come out to me in the car if I can't walk into the clinic!

Two of my friends came in this morning & did my housework for me! Sooo sweet of them! My housecleaner bailed on me once again, so they came in to help me out. They did more than I asked to be done - the oven & windows! So that was wonderful! I felt so bad seeing them hard at work so went off for a shower so I didn't feel like I was hanging around in their way. I went out & bought lunch for them afterwards.

This thread is sooo quiet now I'm the only one left! Feels a little sad.

Good luck with your MW appt, Italiah...hopefully she only has good news for you but it definitely sounds like it could be any day now!! Not long, and you'll be able to join the mummy threads and join in our newborn woes over there! No doubt, you'll have lots of advice for all us newbies!

Well things are looking good!! First my BP is right up - so MW was excited & said it's pre-labour. Then baby's moved to the left (yay) she thinks as she's sure it's bumpy like the limbs on the right. I asked if she could do a sweep as I wanted to see if I'd dialated. She said I was already 3cm, so stretched me to 4cm. And baby is engaged! So anyday for sure! But who knows... we still made an appt for next Monday "just incase". The stretch wasn't too bad at all really & she said the cervix is sitting right there.

hi girls 

Go italiah! Already 4cm dilated! excellent progress - yay Jett is on his way!

well just had word from nzpiper - Sounds like things are working out & hospital might be sending mummy & baby tom home tomorrow!

So good news all round!

sorry that I haven't been on much girls.. I am so distracted with ethan these days (I can see you are alot better than me at being online) I'malways keen to see what everyone is up to - managed a fairly good sleep this morning.

mw came round at 1pm - ethan is growing really well - he has outgrown his newborn nappies so onto the next size up - amazing how quickly they grow at this age huh? Don't grow up to fast baby!!

That'll be great if Nikki & Tom can go home today. I bet she's sick of being in hospital!

Justme sounds like Ethan is doing great with already growing out of the newborn nappies. They really aren't little for long are they. Sounds like you're loving your parenting role!

Me too!

just thought id post a quick update on melln,shes in hospital went in saturday to be induced but bubs obviously is very comfy there cos last i heard she was still there (about 10 this morning) yesterday morning she was 2cms when they checked mel this morning when they broke her waters she was only 3! poor thing! but she said the contractions are starting to hurt so heres hoping its a sign things are moving along.
Shes doing so well !
