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!!)

She's here!!!!!!!!

Born by c-section at 5.54 a.m. Violet Edie weighed in at 9lb 1oz. Was a very difficult time for mum and baby but all is now well. DH and I are now in Yorkshire admiring her! grin

I think it's the vibes that count, soop, so the exact pronunciation won't matter wink.

SOOP Tue 10-Apr-12 18:16:31

Grief! Just realised that I've been Ummmming and should have been Ommmmming shock Now the vibes should be reaching across the air-waves to welcome baby Violet. flowers

*Syberiaaaaa*!! What's happening? Has she been for bumpy drives and eaten curries, had a cervical sweep, redecorated the nursery? Surely today must be Violet's birthday?? No...????? Yes....?? Can you tell there's some impatience around here? grin

I was up all night when DD had both her babies - if she ever has any more, I think I want an epidural (or general!)grin
Fingers crossed for you Syberia

Oh syberia, shes really putting you through it. Its such a strain watching and waiting for our daughters to have their babies. We worry about what are darling daughters are going through and for the babies they are having. I really feel for you. Am sure all will be well very soon, the trouble is that time seems to move so slowly pre-birth. Can remember when I was 14 days late, my darling Mum took me into hospital and just told me to stop being so damned stoic and 'lay it on thick'. I think I burst into tears and they all soon jumped to it to get the birth started. Thinking of you all XX

gracesmum Tue 10-Apr-12 11:14:18

Syberia is either still asleep having been up all night, or admiring her new grand daughter, I hope!

SOOP Tue 10-Apr-12 11:04:13

I'm still UMMMMMMING...We're all anxious to welcome the little one x

Ariadne Tue 10-Apr-12 09:00:36

Well? Can't wait to hear. xxxx

harrigran Mon 09-Apr-12 21:29:10

Hope it's not a long night syberia

syberia Mon 09-Apr-12 20:47:58

Thank you all SO much for all your support xxxxxxxx

My next post will be to tell you all she is here x

glassortwo Mon 09-Apr-12 20:04:08

Do you still pant these days, Ill try but I might hyperventilate grin

gracesmum Mon 09-Apr-12 19:59:47

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

You can take empathy too far, gracesmum!

gracesmum Mon 09-Apr-12 19:50:07

I'm pushing - is it too soon? Or should I be panting by now?
