Hello all,
I hope everyone is having a good weekend and enjoying themselves, in whichever way they can. Both family funerals are over, now we are just waiting for the baby to arrive, she is a week late already, I'm on edge all the time as I have to be on call to look after the other children, it's causing me lots of stress which then causes pain, I just want it over with, also I can't make any plans which is a nuisance. Sorry to sound like I'm moaning but pain and lack of sleep aren't a good combination, they make you cranky. My lower ribs are really hurting at the moment which I haven't had before and the carpal tunnel in my right wrist is playing up, I hope I can get some sleep tonight.

Sue x

    Hi Sue

    actually it IS pain having to have the kids when a baby is born!! I knwo l've done it for my bro and SIL.

    In fact on one occasion it happened at home....l was there....the midwife didn't make it till after then the ambulance.

    I too find it hard to put my life on hold and not be ratty with everyone. We so need our sleep don't we?

    Hope she/he comes sooner rather than later. I could do you a 'baby' dance like l did a rain dance for Hileena (mind that didn't actually work) :wink:

    Love

    toni xx
