Well, just a few hours until my due date! Started to have quite painful contractions for the first time, feels like very strong period pain,, whereas up until now they've been more like tightenings with a mild ache. But these painful ones are about 20 minutes apart, so still ages apart, but it feels like i have much milder ones in between

Sorry, this is probably boring everyone, i just can't wait for something to happen!!

Do you reckon it's safe for me to carry on watching The Apprentice for a while?

LOL, bless you! Good luck with it all, little'un will be here before you know it!

So glad Natasha went! And the first time in the whole process that i actually thought Susan was worth something!

Who do you want/think will win? I think its helen but tom has an outside chance.

It was hilarious tonight wasn't it! So glad Natasha went too, could see it coming though! I have no idea who's going to win, they all seem equally crap but in quite a lovable way! Tom's eyes remind me of a nervous insect, so i sort of want him to win for that..

he he he. yeah i know what you mean bless him. How you doing today? any more progress?

exactly what i was having and it's still very vivid in my memory.

Mine started on and off like your on a Weds night and I didnt have H until the following Tuesday.

Not really much you can do, but I would say get as much rest as you can, my body was in shock from the fast birth and from being so tired.

things will pick up

Hmm, contractions definitely stronger today, and timings varying from 7 mins apart to 20 mins apart. *grr* Keep saying I'll call the hospital as soon as they get regular, still waiting for that! )

Kelly, aww I remember yours going on for a while, hope I make it to the hospital quicker than you did though! Scary thought! Mr Kat is off work so he's being great at helping out with Milo/housework which has been a huge help, so I can rest if I need to, I just can't stop nesting! How's little H settling in?

she's settled in really well. feels like she's been here for ages. Looking forward to her being a little bigger though she just so teeny.

You'll get there soon though, it's all doing what it did with me so it's heading in the right direction. I hope your hospital is not far. If it is make sure you give yourself extra time to get there. How are you getting there?

Yeah, at least it's getting stronger, just have to be patient!

The hospital is pretty far away, and we don't have a car.. my sister lives near the hospital but she'll have to come and pick me up (40 min drive!!) then take me there so it will probably take an hour and a half at the least.. Nervous doesn't cover it! All packed and ready to go though, and my mum just lives down the road, and she's ready to come and look after Milo anytime

H is just so cute, I love your avatar pick of her and Rowan, you must be so happy! Hope you're managing to get lots of rest!
