Diana wasn't around much yesterday? - do you think.............?

 

Oooooo good point

[Popcorn]

Morning Annie, morning Sheila, morning everyone!

 

Well, as I am going stir crazy sat in the house , Darren is taking me out somewhere this morning. Not sure where, probably the park! Don't think I can handle town or bumping into anyone who might say, ' Oh no, haven't you had it yet!'

 

What are you girls doing today?

[Guest]

We're all sitting next to our computer screens waiting for the news that you've popped, Gina!

 

[AnnieP]

Yep...that's about it!

Just been to pick up our 6 dining room chairs... imported from India: they have taken 3 months to arrive, but they're lovely! Still waiting for the actual table... another 3 weeks to go! We've been eating off trays since the end of March and I'm so fed up with it! (terrible joke there somewhere)...

OH is cutting the lawn before it rains. I'm supposed to be cooking lunch: thai fishcakes with chilli sauce on a salad bed... yummy.

What are you eating today Gina? Hope you're getting plenty of energy and rest....

[Cinnamon]

Have a nice hot curry Gina.

That will get the little blighter out

Yes, I'll go for Monday too! (Laurence is on our list for boys names)

 

It's Diana who is booked in for Monday, I'm in for Thursday (7pm to be exact too!)

 

Well, so far, I've made a banana and pineapple smoothy, a quorn sauage sandwich and a couple of cups of tea to drink with my chocolate digestives. Just eating an apple now. Tea tonight = chicken and pineapple curry (homemade of course)

 

Too rainy to go out. I can't really run for cover

[Lesley]

That's a pity Gina - a few goes on the swings and a couple of times down the big slide may just sort you out

 

We've been back to the house to collect the washing machine and drier - we were fed-up with having to go back to the house to do washing. My son helped Carl carry them and bring them here. Now we have both machines sitting in the utility room - Brad had to go out so they're not wired in - Carl had to go back to the house to collect other bulky stuff while we have the van on hire - and I can't do any washing at all now

 

I know how to wire them in but can't kneel down or gewt in the tiny space to do so - Carl can get in the space and kneel down but doesn't know how to do the wiring

 

Now I'm unpacking boxes of pantry and kitchen items - well..... I should be......

[Popcorn]

Now I'm unpacking boxes of pantry and kitchen items

 

Now there'a a good bit of multi-tasking ambidextrouness Lesley!

[Cate in NZ]

Gina, thank you for being so considerate and waiting for us to get back from the rescue.... your name was mentioned

Now I'll be around to get the news firsthand.... but I can't help feeling that Clare & Buffie would appreciate it if you could wait until they get back tomorrow

The pineapple curry sounds yummy

[Popcorn]

No problem Kate

[Mel (& Paul)]

Come on eglu tum

[chocchick]

Ahh poor thing still waiting

I love the stir crazy emoticon

Just found your blog, didn't realise there were so many random aches and pains during preganancy Wishing you and your bump all the best

[Chicken on a mission]

Gina I didn't realise that you had a blog.

 

I'm going to start having a read through today

[Lesley]

Has anyone heard from Diana - have I missed anything?

[Martin B]

She hasn't posted in a while!

[The Managing Director]

Has anyone heard from Diana - have I missed anything?

Diana was around earlier and no mention of new babies so think we are still waiting for both babies

[Diana1]

Sorry I've been a bit quiet but thought you might be all a bit bit bored of a recurring message that said - nope still no twinges. I'll be ringing the hospital tomorrow to check bed availability and all being well I'll be 'induced' so there will be some sort of news. I've heard that they can carry out the proceedure three times in 24 hours if it doesn't work on the first two occasions. So it still may not be born until Tuesday........

 

Feeling a little bit unsure about intervening and wondering if I want to be induced at all - may be wait a few more days - maybe not - I'm so bored.

[Popcorn]

You've hit the nail on the head there Diana. I'm a little worried about sounding a little 'same old, same old' on here too, and then getting booed out of the forum!

 

Go with your feelings about your birth and being induced...I feel the same. There's only you that can make the decision, and i'm sure it will be the right one once you have made it.

 

thinking of you x

[Louise]

Blimey such a busy day today but I just HAD to check what stilll no babies

 

You must both be climbing the walls

 

Never mind I think today will be the day for you fingers crossed I will hop back later - just to check

 

Good luck

[Diana1]

Byee - off to hospital now. I shall keep in touch with Gina so you can get the news as soon as it becomes available.

 

Thanks for all your support - its been great to keep my mind busy with all the forum gossip.

[Popcorn]

Good Luck Diana - did you get my PM? Hope so! Thinking of you xxxxx

[Mrs Frugal]

Good luck Diana. Hope all goes smoothly. We'll all be there with you in spirit!

 

Take care xxx

[Chicken on a mission]

Gina and Diana,

 

We can never have too much news about how you both are. I think most of us are about as excited as we can be about your iminant arrivals so please keep us posted

 

Diana, I hope all goes well at the hospital today.

 

Gina, I loved your blog and cried a bit when it brought back memories of when I was expecting Esme. I'm looking forward to your updates

[chocchick]

Thinking of you Diana
