Lastnight, 31st March at 9.50pm, weighing 7lb 9oz, and healthy and gorgeous!!
Jude said she went to her Ob appointment in the morning, and discovered she was already 2-3cm dialted, with Daniel engaged - and after the Ob performed a sweep, she was getting contractions within the half hour. Had her waters broken in the afternoon, and the little man arrived in the evening!!
WELL DONE JUDE, AND WELCOME TO DANIEL!!
You are living proof us old girls can still pump out bubs (lol!!) - and I'm so relieved you got the natural birth you wanted and that your little man is here healthy and happy.
Wow, Jude, congratulations! Especially on the pleasant surprise of not having to be induced! Welcome Daniel, now we have two little men to fawn over.
You've got lots of attention on you, Laney! I'm very glad to hear that. You're one of the ones I've been hoping and crossing my fingers for extra much. It'll be good with the frequent non-stress tests. Now that you're soon past 30 weeks and they've got a handle on things, it feels more safe that they will be able to help bubs out in case something goes wrong. But it won't go wrong!
Nothing happening here yet! But I think I might be having BH now -- it's hard to say, as whatever is happening is a tiny bit painful and uncomfortable, but not nearly as "stop in my tracks" as both my midwife and the one from our classes said. And of course the BH apparently indicate nothing much. But with every little slightly painful twinge or lower back ache I'm going "Yeah, come on! Hurt more!"

Congratulations Jude on the birth of Daniel!!! A bit stressful in the last week but I'm so glad things worked out the way they were meant to.
Laney, really glad to hear from you and thrilled things are going so well. It really sounds like you're getting the attention you deserve and I know that you'll take your boy home too.
I've finally worked out how to post some pics. I have millions of course but it takes ages to post each one and I'm watching him stir and hoping he stays asleep just a teeny bit longer... Here is our boy
We are doing well generally, he feeds well and my boobs are actually not too sore which I was dreading so that's excellent. trying to get him to sleep in his bed at night has been a challenge but to be expected. I got the post baby blues when my milk came in and unfortunately the feeling of recovering from the Caesar as well as the similar weather brought back all the memories and feelings of when I had Edward, which added a whole other dimension. But I'm feeling better now and chatted to the midwife this morning when she came round to weigh him and it was good to know it's completely normal. Otherwise I still can't quite believe he's ours and he's here and healthy!!!
I am a bit late with my congrats but here goes....
CONGRATS ROZZIE ON THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF HENRY!!!!
I checked out your photos and he is adorable!
And of course,
CONGRATS JUDE ON THE ARRIVAL OF DANIEL!!!!
Tildy - hope your bub decides to make its arrival soon for you! Should we be aiming for another blue bundle (sorry, can't remember if you know the sex or not)?
Laney - congrats on how far you have made it. It is wonderful seeing your ticker just speeding along there and it sounds like your doctors have you under close watch which can only be a good thing.
Not much to report here. My stitch is booked for removal on the 14 April (unless I go into labour earlier) and I will possibly be induced the same day - ob will decide on the day depending on my cervix and how engaged she is. Bubs has definitely dropped though & I am secretly hoping my waters break before the scheduled stitch removal date so we can just get it over with. I just want to meet her now!!
My goodness Jo, I swore you were only about 30 weeks, then I see your ticker and it's almost time!!! So excited for you, less than two weeks till you meet your little girl. Enjoy your last days of pregnancy.
DANIEL HAS ARRIVED !!!!!
Excellent news on the safe (and natural) arrival of Daniel. Enjoy every minute of the special bundle 
Welcome Daniel, now we have two little men to fawn over.
(I can say that cos I am one!) YIPPPEEEE for achieving the birth that was right for YOU and your Baby! Go the vaginas!!!!!
