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!!)

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

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

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!)

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

Annobel Mon 09-Apr-12 13:21:05

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

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

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

But evidently not a 'shrinking' violet! grin

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

Butternut Sun 08-Apr-12 11:27:23

syberia - thinking of you - you'll be so excited! This wee one sounds as if she's going to be quite a bundle! smile

Butternut Wed 04-Apr-12 20:25:05

Hang in there syberia - You may get more than a chocolate Easter egg this Sunday grin.
Thinking of you.

libradi doesn't sound little to me!

syberia Wed 04-Apr-12 20:08:30

DD has been to the midwife today. It seems she is expecting a baby that will weigh,"at least 9 pounds" (My daughter is normally a size 8!!). All is still progressing nicely, and no-one seems concerned at the fact she is 10 days overdue (that's good!).
If nothing happens by Monday then DD will have to attend hospital on a daily basis to be monitored.
I sincerely hope baby arrives before Monday, I am a wreck! grin

Hope you get your little granddaughter soon syberia smile
