hurrah! i doubt beeps will get it. until beepsie two is around for realzzz. :-) well, we tried to tell ophelia (who was of course quite a bit younger).
my friend's daughter told her kid sister:"look" (while pointing at her mom's belly) "you're getting a new sister!" hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha guess she thought that little fat bump was cultivating a third kid. they're not, sadly, even though mommy wants one. daddy has decided it's not possible.

yeah beeps doesnt get it. although i couple of weeks ago i drew what i had seen on the ultrasound on her chalk board so pp could see how tiny the kiddo is right now. i said to beeps 'hey come look at your brother or sister!' she walked around and saw where i was pointing to. she let out an 'ohh!' then picked up and piece of chalk and proceeded to furiously scribble over the baby part until it was obliterated. she then set down the chalk and said in a very cheery singsong voice 'All done!' and walked away. pp and i just stood there with 'holy shit!' looks.

Congrats to sunny, PP, and big sister Beeps! (November 1st is my sister's birthday and thus a fine time to be due.)
We might have been working on (ew) small Holland number two by now if I hadn't started a new job in January - going on maternity leave after anything less than a year in post seems just slightly cheeky.

Oh my god, YOU HAVE TO DELIVER ON 31st of October, then your baby will share his/her bday with Elisabeth. Woohoo. :-)

I should read this board more (not that I have any intention of using it for anything other than vicarious thrills at other people's kids). Congratulations to the SS/PP household, the world definitely needs more kick-ass kids.
― ailsa, Saturday, 25 April 2009 09:05 (sixteen years ago)
Thanks, Ailsa! This kid is already kicking my ass!
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Saturday, 25 April 2009 13:02 (sixteen years ago)
I am STILL knocked up and not happy about this, surely second babies are supposed to come a bit quicker?
― Meg (Meg Busset), Sunday, 26 April 2009 18:46 (sixteen years ago)
wow. when is the due date. i was figuring sometime this week?
just imagine in a few days youll never have to be pregnant again!
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Sunday, 26 April 2009 18:47 (sixteen years ago)
Due date was Monday, so the little wotsit is already six days late...
― Meg (Meg Busset), Sunday, 26 April 2009 18:49 (sixteen years ago)
wow! i always assume second babies are early. well, hang in there!
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Sunday, 26 April 2009 18:53 (sixteen years ago)
Had a sweep this morning, 1-2cm dilated, but nothing moving yet. Booked in for an induction on Thursday if nothing happens by then (boo).
― Meg (Meg Busset), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 17:17 (sixteen years ago)
Beeps was induced. People have said to me that she doesn't have a real birthday. Whatever. I'm pretty sure if you were born you have a birthday.
Were you overdue with Howie?
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 17:32 (sixteen years ago)
What a stupid, terrible thing to say!! I mean, I can be blindly natural-childbirth/LLL/dirty hippie etc-crazed but to say a child didn't "have a birthday" is just ridiculous point-scoring!
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 17:37 (sixteen years ago)
peeps can be lame. what can you do? maybe we can use it when shes 16 and wants a car 'oh you know we'd love to get you a car for your birthday but its probably time we told you you don't actually have a real birthday. sorry!'
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 17:41 (sixteen years ago)
SS, I am constantly amazed at the rudeness and mentalness of people!
Howie came 10 days late but I was in labour for two days so was already in labour by this time with him. The annoying thing is the hospital doesn't routinely induce until term+12 which would be Saturday, but they don't induce at the weekend and they're fully booked on Friday so I have to go in two days earlier.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 17:44 (sixteen years ago)
Cant wait until Monday? We need Ally on this thread to tell the story of how her mom was a month overdue with her.
My preggo update: still v v sick but getting longer and longer periods of feeling ok (before the sick starts again) too.
― I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 17:54 (sixteen years ago)
Sunny, that's like classic Gilbert & Sullivan. I highly recommend that strategy for keeping Beeps under lock and key (and under the legal age for anything fun).
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 18:02 (sixteen years ago)
I think you only don't have a real birthday if you were born on February 29th.
― tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 28 April 2009 20:07 (sixteen years ago)
Alice was induced too, but I've never ever heard that 'not a real birthday' thing. How bizarre.
Meg, good luck for tomorrow (if not before!!)
― Archel, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 09:19 (sixteen years ago)
They won't leave it til next week because it's hospital policy to induce at term+12 and I would be +14 on Monday, plus the delivery suite is so busy that often you have to wait a day or two to get an induction slot, so that could take me into the middle of next week. TBH I am so fed up with being pregnant that I'm willing to be induced if that's what it takes! but would obviously rather go into labour naturally.
I had strong, regular contractions from 4am-6am this morning but they have tailed off since, here's hoping they get started again.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 10:09 (sixteen years ago)
good luck!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 13:03 (sixteen years ago)
Not knocked up any more! Archie William finally arrived at 3.52am, weighing in at 8lb 15oz. Will post on the photo thread later.
― Meg (Meg Busset), Thursday, 30 April 2009 16:46 (sixteen years ago)
Yay!!!!! Thats so great, Meg. Snuck in just before the induction, right? Sounds like everything went well. Was it faster and/or less painful this time? Congrats! Can't wait to see the photos.

thanks everyone! delivery was pretty intense but my wife was a champ. there were stitches and blood loss and so it might be a few days before they can come home - will be going to visit them in a couple of hours and hopefully we’ll have a clearer idea of the timeline soon. i expect the kitty reaction might be equally intense - might be more nervous about that than anything else tbh

thanks all! i have been lucky so far to avoid any morning sickness/nausea but I do want to sleep 24/7. like just having to go to the kitchen to put my dishes in the sink makes me want to lie down.
at least I’m mostly working from home now so lots and lots of naps - cannot imagine doing this pre-pandemic

Thanks everyone! we had a slightly scary start - 12 hours of labour ending in an emergency c-section, followed by short stay in the NICU for baby, who almost suffocated during the whole ordeal. but we’re home now and she’s safe and healthy!
