oooooooo, hurry up and wait with me people. We are home from the scan but she may be in labour! According to the nurse it is because of her examination and it may stop again, so far it is looking like it's a go.. only time will tell...

Keeping my fingers crossed Suzy. Let Dana know that her cyberAunts are with her in spirit, even if we can't be there in person.

I'm chewing my nails......

6 minutes apart and haven't stopped yet...

Getting close Suzy. Keeping finger crossed and wishing Dana an easy delivery.

Heidi's right, we need dramatic music. Suzy - I hope this is it and the little one comes safely and happily into the world.

for Suzy, Dana and the baby!

I have just spent the morning booking our accommodation for when we are driving around Tassie - did it all on one secure site, all booked and can be cancelled free up to 2 days prior - woo hoo!

Suzy and Dana, sitting on pins and needlkes with you. I know what this waiting can be like, something you never forget even in a lifetime. Best wishes for everything to go smoothly. Hugs to each of you.

7 minutes, then 5 minutes and 40 seconds...

Who picked Feb. 21 and 22?

Unless I forgot to write it down, nobody picked today, Mamacita picked 22nd, Brenda the 23rd. I hope they're both wrong as she is already miserable...

Suzy...hoping I'm wrong too and this time will be the day the wee one chooses to make her debut!
Thoughts and prayers that all goes smoothly and soon we'll all be smiling that the wait will be over...and the real work will begin! Love and hugs all around!♥

Hang in there Zusy and Dana! Brings a tear to my eye.

Thinking opening, easing thoughts.......

I'm on the other side of the planet, and I am on pins and needles here. Will it be a short or long labor? Will it be uncomplicated? Will the baby be healthy? Fingers are crossed.

Pacing the Floor !!

Good Luck Dana! Just remember it's only a few hours out of your whole life and the present at the end is fabulous. Besides that there is always an epidural. Sending all my positive thoughts and prayers for an easy labour.

Still at home, contractions hovering between 5 and 6 minutes with the odd 3 minute one... We'll probably go up to the hospital the next time she goes under 5 minutes.

This could go on all day, Suzy.

I need to go out to the calving pasture and check for cows in labor. This'll take a while, 'cause I'm still lame.

They are going the wrong way! Further apart instead of closer together... hope they don't stop altogether!!

This baby isn't making it easy on you, Suzy.

No cows in labor, but #189 looks close. Probably tomorrow.

I'm off to bed. IH will be gone tomorrow, and I want to enjoy as much of the day as I can.

I keep coming back to check.

Today would be a good day to have as your birth date - 21/2/12 - it reads the same forwards or backwards. Just filling in time until I can go home. and hugs everyone.

Now I really want her to have the baby today! Wouldn't that be a cool birthday>!

Moving back close together, but still not close enough to go to the hospital.

That would be a cool birthday indeed, Suzy. If my daughter had been born a day earlier, she would have been born on 27/9/72 - all the 9's - but, no, she waited until the 28th!

Suzy and Dana waiting for news but hope that whatever is going on happens quickly.
From the time of Suzy's last post around 3 hours has gone, wonder if she is too busy at the hospital!!

I really should read posts properly I missed Suzy's last one which was less than an hour ago.

This watching and waiting!! Just hope things are progressing and it is all over very soon and all is well with Dana and the baby.

I was a day late and missed 14.1.41 So much for palindrome birthdays.
I was made a vice president at the Women's Bowling club today. No great honour as they were desperate to fill the position and I have turned it down several times before.

Brenda, are you back home yet? Or still enjoying your time away and chocolate etc?

Yes June we are back home. Got back last night. Back to reality of krowesuoh and yrdnual.
Had a wonderful time and gained 3pound in weight which I had taken off the week before sigh.
We brought French bread and cheese back will have to be the last 'treats' for a while so I can get back on my diet.

Hello friends!
Just got home and rushed to the computer to check the Baby progress - sounds close now! I'll keep checking ...
SO tired! Drove my sister home from Mum's place, where we'd spent yesterday cleaning and tidying and moving unwanted stuff up to the shed. At some stage I slipped and ripped my shoulder ... ouch! We did get a lot done, and we went to visit Mum - she was in a good mood and glad to see us, so it was a lovely visit. We went back today, but only stayed a short time (she kept telling us that Dad was in the other room ... ?) The drive home was exhausting (usually Rob and I share the work) but I did it without any touble, so quite proud of myself! Had to help my sister get home, so Rob is picking up take-away! Hope I stay awake long enough to eat it!
Take care all of you ... I'll be dropping in soon to check the news! :D

Morning all. Coffee is ready, help yourself. I think a lot of people may need a cup today so I made extra.

3.5 hours since Suzy's last post. Don't know if that is good or bad.
Here we usually do birthdays as mm/dd/yy. Dylan has a cool date: 11/22/00.
Brenda, glad you had a nice trip. It is always good to get back home but there is always so much to do.
Judy, glad you made some progress at mum's place. I am not looking forward to having to clean my parents house. They have 30 years of junk and do not like to throw anything out.
Cyn, glad you got all your reservations made. Sounds like a nice trip. Hope you take, and post, lots of pictures.

We're having a baby! She's called for a manger, apparently there is no room at the inn

I told her the three wise men and a couple of shepherds were on their way with some hay...

Thanks for letting us know Gail. Waiting now, not holding breath though, for the good news of the arrival

Off to school. I can't come to this site from school. If there is any news, can someone please send me an email. Or, if you send a personal message, that will forward to my email. I can check email. Game sites are blocked.
