Ahhh more space Fuller reply for you!

Awww g'wan with the home birth - you know you'd love it really...!
Tbh - if it had even crossed my mind for a second that baby would come at home it would have been slightly less blind-panicked. It's the fact I thought I had ages... not a gush of water, urge to push, then paramedics telling me to 'do as I'd been taught' breathing wise (which is WHAT I recall I yelled back....) and them saying they couldn't examine me so they'd 'wait and see' (yeah, cos I'd got that baby-pushing-out thing down to a fine art after doing it once before )
Ooops - I digress. End result is a baby - you're going to be delivering that little Christmas pudding either way

We're ok thanks, well that's as much as my reserved self will say anyway Just got a lot going on at present. Too much, but Christmas on the horizon so that's all good! Also, afore mentioned baby is walking (yes, walking... ) around the lounge and the lively bean is watching Thomas film before going to sleep (all night through... shhhhhSHSHSHSHSHHHHHHH!!!!!!) in his toddler bed. Changes a plenty the past couple of weeks! Just need to get the sleeping thing figured with the boobie monster - she is very attached to both mummy milk and sleeping in our bed. I'm knackered, as ever.

How's your little miss doing? Guessing you'll be all sorted for Christmas etc. already with impending arrival? Hope you're doing well - enjoy this last bit because your belly will feel empty soon, although your home will feel much fuller too
Take care, thank you for remembering me - I've popped on about every 3 months this year I think! As IF it's nearly 2012 though, nuts I tells ya... xx

I shall be going to hospital at the 1st twinge after hearing your story, and others who have delivered within an hr of arriving... have I mentioned already I want an epidural!!!

Sorry you have a lot on your plate, hope things work out for the best or at least you can put things to rest in the near future. Im sure you're doing great as a mum regardless of whats up.

I cant believe your baby is walking!!!! How??? They should still be a snuggly newborn surely? Though then I couldnt be 9mths pg so that doesnt make sense lol

Caitlin is brilliant, well queen of temper tantrums but the days are made bearable due to the fact that she can now talk properly and has such a hysterical imagination. Its nice being able to have little chats with her, just wish her temper wasnt so fiery at times! The new baby will either be the making or breaking of her. She needs to learn to share before she goes to playgroup next Sept so hopefully a year sharing with a sibling will help her there. Currently she is fireman sam and toy story obssessed. Think my little princess is a tomboy in the making!

All sorted for xmas, tree went up on 25th Nov, all presesnts wrapped and underneath apart from OHs. Have them bought just not had a chance to sneak off and wrap them. Wanted xmas sorted early but bet now the lil bugger doesnt come until boxing day just to taunt me for being so organised!

Maybe one day you will feel able to come back once a week... like the Grace hour or something If I dont hear from you before hope you have a lovely Christmas and dont let those troubles get you down too much xxxx
