Hi Folks, yes 5 weeks for us, and to think at first we were scared she would lose this one too, last midwife check this week has shown she has aleady dropped down and estimated at birth is 4 1/2 kilos,that is almost 10 pounds I think.Mum is puffing a bit now but she is well she is late 30's so I don't blame her, but eveything looks good.

I have stopped knitting, I started the day we got the news and kept it up till mid Ocotober when they came over from Holland for a week, she has enough knits to last her till the 6 month stage ,and clothes...well I am almost as bad as with seeds,God Bless E bay!! I had 2 full suitcases of stuff when she got here!!

I am excited, just to remind you all, she is to be called Alexandria Jeannine.

Sad thing is they are in the North of Holland.

I have been working on ideas for starting a collection of something for her to start on her birth day, any ideas anyone.

Caroline, I laughed at the sicky bit, I used to wear a towel on my shoulder with one of mine all the time.

Matthew 'christened' his dad both ways last week, as Mike lifted his legs to move the nappy, he started spraying..he put his hand under to stop his clothes getting wet and had something deposited in his palm.. ;D ;D ;D
this was in Asda changing room, he had to ring sam on the mobile, she was having a coffee ;D ;D ;D
I told him he should've bought a lottery ticket
I got the milky shoulder on Christmas eve, while in my finery, and I don't care, it's lovely whatever happens ;D

Oh eck..call from Holland this morning, our one seemed on the way last night, Marcianna spent all night at the hospital, 3cm dilated and pain regularly every three minutes but it didn't progress beyond that, if she had got to 4cm they would have helped her on? So she is home again, still with the pains which are "very uncomfortable" but not getting any worse. So a depressed Mum to be at the moment, still officially about 3 weeks to go though.

I wanted to go and hug her.

She has arrived....phone call came this afternoon as I was doing home visits on the estate, pulled over to take the call, then sat there like a baby bawling my head off, wonderful news and no one to tell.

She is fine, Marcianna is tired but well, they put her on a drip to get things moving and she had her an hour later!!

My son's first and he is forty this year!!

Baby was in the room with Mum, so they put her to the phone and I heard her gurgling,so we have chatted already, and just 12 minutes old then.

What a relief.

Great news from Paulinesms too, well done, I bet you feel just like me, I ma as happy for you as I am for me.

They say they go in threes, well today another teacher at school got her first Grandchild too, and we have a teacher due today and she is in mild labour.

It must be Spring!!

Time to start planting I think.
