Knocked Up Rollcall

LOL!!!

that's the awesomest thing i heard all week. beeps, you go girl! :-)

Yay, congratulations!!!! Am slightly envious, just ever so slightly!

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. :-)

Congrats SS/PP!

Awesome, you guys!

Congratulations!

hooray!

it's gonna be tough coming up with a name as good as "beeps" tho

honks

loops

joeks (if it's a bruv)

Congratulations Sunny!

Aww, I missed this thread - congrats SS and PP!

Now, Beeps what have you got to say about it?

haha thats about the attitude too. thanks guys!

okay this puking is getting out of control

redecorated work bathroom floor this morning

Congratulations! (About the baby, not the puking).

thanks!

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.

Thanks, Ailsa! This kid is already kicking my ass!

I am STILL knocked up and not happy about this, surely second babies are supposed to come a bit quicker?

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!

Due date was Monday, so the little wotsit is already six days late...

wow! i always assume second babies are early. well, hang in there!

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).

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?

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!

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!'

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.

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.

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).

I think you only don't have a real birthday if you were born on February 29th.

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!!)

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.

good luck!

Not knocked up any more! Archie William finally arrived at 3.52am, weighing in at 8lb 15oz. Will post on the photo thread later.

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.

Congratulations!

Fantastic news, congratulations! Glad you didn't have to go through the induction, can't wait to see the photos

That's a big baby.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!

wau!

archie's a great name. congratulations!

Archie! Woot! :-) How are things going?

All going fine, thanks! He's an angel baby thus far, mainly just sleeps and feeds (and feeds, and feeds -- weighed in at 9lb 9oz yesterday, ie has put on 10oz in 12 days!). It seems much easier than the first few weeks with Howie; I don't know if that's because Archie's more laidback, or we are...

sounds like elisabeth. the first three weeks all she did was sleep. then she woke up and never wanted to sleep for more than two hours. hah but oh boy do i feel broody seeing all these wonderful babies.

my best friend (since we were 9) just found out shes having a boy! she is also due on the same day as i am.

Went for high risk scan today. scary stuff but everything is perfect size and no unexpected fluid gathering anyhwere. kid also moving around like lightning in there. oh also seen - testicles.

Great news. Have the kitties met her yet?

congratulations!!!

bg congratulations!!!

Yay!!!!! Congrats, BG!!!!

congratulations and welcome to babby gazzara!

congrats to you & the lady gazzara
welcome babby, RIP yr eyeballs

Top work

Congrats my man!

:D welcome baba gazzara

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

GOOD WORK GUYS

congrats!

do people still say “knocked up” these days?

anyway 16 weeks :)

Hooray!

<3

Congrats!

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

Congrats!!

So excited for you! I hope the entire time goes smoothly!

Congratulations! Hope all goes smoothly!

congrats Roz!

yay! awesome news Roz

yayyyyyyy!!!!!
