Im in labour! Having contractions pretty close together. Going to putter around and get organised, see where it takes us.

I had my 36wk appt today and find out that Rip is 2/5 engaged so almost fully there and Im 3cm dialated already so it should be another quick labour/delivery.

Will sms Kell and Shell if/when bub arrives.

Hoping its tonight!

Ohhh you see I WAS going to request a banana smoothie, but now an iced coffee sounds good too!

Shell, I've decided your avatar needs longer hair!

River's only just had dinner and gone to bed, because I put him down for a nap at 4:30, went and lay on the bed a bit later, and next thing I knew, Rans was also napping next to me and it was 7:30! Ah well.

[shellbell3]

Nelle, thats how long ago it was made! My hair has grown heaps since, prolly cause of the fact I've had just one cut since having Ash.
