Hi everyone. DD's due date was 26th. There is no sign of little Violet yet. I know it's not that far over, but I can't sleep and have no nails left! (that's a good thing, because no danger of scratching her once she is here!!)

Nooooo! Violet has to make an appearance soon!! You must be a wreck - hang in there. smile

Ariadne Sun 08-Apr-12 11:31:30

Oh no! She really is a little violet isn't she - doesn't want the limelight! xx

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 12:02:32

But evidently not a 'shrinking' violet! grin

Today DD is sitting in the hospital waiting to be "monitored" as that is what they do when you are two weeks overdue. She has been given some free gifts, has tea on tap and is just eating lunch! She went in at 9 this morning. Apparently, they are very busy! At least she is resting! grin

Serve them right if her waters go while she's waiting!

syberia Mon 09-Apr-12 12:55:06

I wish Annobel !

Why don't we all focus our minds on syberia's daughter and will her into labour. Ready, steady, FOCUS!!

SOOP Mon 09-Apr-12 13:27:21

UMMMMMM! That's a buddhist zen-like focus from me...smile

Thanks girls! Latest news - baby was breech so doctor has manually moved her into right position. DD will stay in hospital now so they can keep an eye on her. Hopeful that things will soon happen! (fingers crossed emoticon!)

Annobel Mon 09-Apr-12 13:50:43

Good news, syberia. Fingers crossed for a safe and speedy delivery! flowers

Hope to hear some good news very soon then syberia, exciting times. My DGD no 2 was four months old yesterday, she was a 'little' bundle too, weighing in at 9lb 12oz. Will be thinking of your daughter flowers

Annobel Mon 09-Apr-12 19:52:32
