One Man Banned Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 the gauntlet has been laid down Gina Do you think you could communicate with Martin so you have synchronized arrivals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Does this mean that if Gina has a boy she'll have to call him Martin? Or Martina for a girl? It's all too much excitement to take in on one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Best of luck Gina, hope everything goes well When Harry decided to arrive it was so fast we only just got to the hospital and we only lived 5 minutes drive away Juliette was a different matter, we had a couple of false alarms and she was a couple of weeks late and weighed in at a very healthy 9lb 4ozs (She takes after her dad ) PS Is this the first Omlet baby??? He/she will have lots of 'aunties and uncles' Very, very, very best wishes for a safe and speedy arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Martin, I'm so pleased you are finally getting your Eglu tomorrow. I bet you won't sleep a wink tonight. Lots of photo's please Debs - I think Diana's baby will put in an appearance before mine. I've no idea what I'm supposed to feel, so these aches I'm getting could just be an upset tummy! I'm off for a bath though - just incase. Can't have hairy legs can I Does this mean that if Gina has a boy she'll have to call him Martin? Or Martina for a girl? I do think the world of Martin, Grd....but I think 1 is enough Could the forum cope with two Martins?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Gina, seriously, I spent the first 24 hours with mild tummy crmping before Duncan was born - late in the evening they started to get stronger and we went to the hospital. Go have a bath and try and rest up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 OOOOOHHHHH!!! Its so exciting! I remember those aches...went on for ages and I got so used to them I forgot about them until things started to gallop (well, crawl, really, as Lauren (3 of 5 - our first child!) took 3 days to arrive. GO BABY GO! Its really nice out here too, and a lovely mummy and daddy waiting to meet you, and all your Omlet aunties (and uncles) need some sleep, so come on, little'un!

Paola Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Morning Gina. How many of you are there today? Hope you had a good night Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Just logged on this morning for a quick update..... no sign of Gina, but then it is early and lie in would be good (there won't be too much opportunity for many of those in the next few years ), so I won't read too much into her absence at the moment. *fingers crossed very tightly* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Me too Kate! I wonder how things are...... I wish I didn't have to go to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Morning Gina When my daughter was 10 days late with Lauren, I walked her all around the village. We found roads and pathways we didn't even know existed - and she had to go into hospital 4 days later with big blisters all over her feet We just need to hear from Diana now then? These two babies are in no hurry are they? Does eveyone elses morning now start with "just a minute - I have to see if Gina or Diana has had their baby" ? - to be met with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Morning Lesley...how are you? ....she had to go into hospital 4 days later with big blisters all over her feet I know what not to do then! My feet are so swollen I can't actually get any shoes on! Been wearing Darren's slippers to go shopping in. Does eveyone elses morning now start with "just a minute - I have to see if Gina or Diana has had their baby" ? - to be met with [/color] I keep checking myself too, incase I missed it in my sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Might notice the odd twinge during the night, Gina ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Does eveyone elses morning now start with "just a minute - I have to see if Gina or Diana has had their baby" ? Oh yes! We're all waiting with baited breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana1 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I'm still here - no twinges. I'm going to finish tidying the shed then tackle the oven. I've just had my pineapple. I should be in my artists studio completing a sculpture of a bull but I have so little motivation. Might go shopping with my mum. I think Gina will be first - I have to log on to find out the latest. I will remember this birth as the one where I was forever checking the Omlet forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Oh Diana....I had high hopes for you not being here too!!!! What a pair eh I wouldn't bet on me being first you know. My oven is done...I'm going to clean the patio windows today before the heavens open and it chucks it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Good idea Gina to just forget you're pregnant. That's what I was getting at really, trying to distract yourself. Not easy I know! For both of you, every day is really a day nearer. You don't know when the day will be, but it is getting closer all the time.The number of days left is getting smaller as well. It won't be long now!
