Many thanks for the offer but I was thinking of something a bit younger... that totally dependant on you for everything age when they start smiling and cooing and OMG I`m off again

PS: Buying babyclothes today has not helped my state of mind one bit!

i'm not overly worried at the min to be honest but nearer the time once i've stopped work and i've got time to think about it then i will be panicking. i can't have pethedine or an epidural due to the fact i'm allergic to morphine so good old gas and air for me. i just hope its not a 10lb baby like my husband was and more of a 5lb like me

pity you were not closer speedy, im sitting here with an almost 5 month old gorgeous girl who has just had her bath and smells of baby powder. she was laughing but now crying - nearly bed time

What a shame, would have loved to have "borrowed her" lol and I love the smell of newly washed babies and baby powder, and the cute little towels with hoods on, then looking at them fast asleep in their little cots... so content without a care in the world.

OMG I have to stop this here and now lmao

PS: Just off to give the cat his bottle of milk before his bedtime.... where`s my Johnson`s baby talc

squealing sounds as cat tries to get out the cat flap before the nappies are brought out. lol

just to put you off, remember sleepless nights, cracked nipples, teething - reality intrudes.

I was lucky and very rarely had the sleepless nights.... Chris was a good sleeper and I can actually remember hoovering under his cot at 10am trying to wake him up!!! the teething tho is coming to mind, and the terrible two`s.

Keep it up I`m slowly coming round to the idea of just getting a kitten lol

Big thanks for your help. My friend Hemma has not long phoned me and she`s ok. She had a very long and difficult labour and has only just got home (forgot to take her mob with her!!!) but Jonathon James Mason was born at 00.04 today weighing in at 5lbs 4oz






Can anyone lend me a very young baby just for a short time cos I`m feeling all broody

Ahh what a cutie! Glad they are both doing well. I know how you feel. Feeling pretty broody myself especially since my boyfriends last name is "Mason". Makes me want to have a little Mason of my own. One of my mates had a baby recently and we visited them 2 week ago and the baby was soo cute. Wanted to take him home with me.

Don't worry about the weight, hubby and I were both 10lb babies and I was huge with Evie, so naturally a bit worried, but she was only 8lb and all my weight was water!

Please can we stop on the long painful labour stories tho until i've had mine

Have you ever been horseriding? I know an odd question!
