Sorry, I can't make Friday either - but I will be at the wooden circle playgroup this afternoon. Like BB I have rather given up on having a baby. In fact I am just coming round to thinking I'm not pregnant at all, and have just eaten a rather large amount of cheese this winter :)


But I could do Monday - again, assuming no Yaklet. If there are newborns around who need cuddling while toddlers are kettled I'm happy to volunteer!

Finally, I have a baby! After making me wait for 10 days, she didn't mess around when she finally decided to make her appearance. Very speedy labour resulting in water birth at home yesterday morning.

Look forward to catching up soon. Good luck to those that are still waiting.

Hooray for the new Bear Cub! The Yaklet made an appearance after 11 days similarly at speed.... born five past midnight after about 3 hours established labour. It's a good job we stuck with our home birth plan....Looking forward to meeting up wih the new arrivals soon, and best of luck for those waiting probably more patiently than I did!

Go out for dinner, eat icecream then sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep & sleep some more!


Yes BB how great we all managed a home birth in the end!

Hope you all manage to get out over the weekend, even if it's just in the garden

Your ahead of me and I am booked in for the 3rd!


It's all been rather hectic and Ive not been able to do all the prep Ive desperately been wanting to do until this week (we had building work done so have had very limited use of Kitchen and lots of brick dust!).


Anyway......... house now clean, carpets clean (still damp as I type), babies clothes, bedding and baby gym etc all washed. Just need to fill the freezer and pack bags. Was planning to use Mike (Bon3acre?)of Bellpepper fame but the website doesnt seem to be working so may have to attempt a cookathon (no mean feat with a 15mth toddler).


Ho hum.... all the important stuff done thankfully and although bags not yet packed I have my list (MUCH shorter than first time round!!)

I'm so very jealous as not due until the 15th May and feel huge!! Via Home birth.


Also had a bit of a moment today as although I have a 15 month old I haven't done much reading/prep and worried about having a new born at home!! I suppose it will all come back to me!!


Really look forward to meeting up with you all and the new babies :)

I was a bit worried there were no May babies :)

Does anyone wants to meet before having the babies? Or someone with their newborns?

Maybe next week at some point?



mrs f - I am so impatient now that I can't even sleep :)


ClareC - I wanted to book on the 3rd too but they told me there were already quite a few people booked for that day... I guess you were one of them. What was your due date?


alieh - A picnic sounds good but I guess if we want to wait for everybody to have their babies it might have to be end of May/ beginning of June, right?

How about a bumps and newborns picnic? I think we will be up for something on Thursday or Friday of next week- are others free then? I am of course assuming that this lovely weather will continue


Bb, the yaklet is a boy - 7'10" so totally, totally normal and healthy!

Thursday afternoon? We will look like impostors amongst all the new babies though - baby snowboarder is nearly 8 wks old and weighed in at 13.5lb at his 6 wk check this week...must have gold top milk....! Where can we go that is toddler containable?

By scan 7th May but I'm certain it's actually the 4th.


Waiting til the 3rd is a bit close for comfort given my daughter was born only 1 day after her EDD! My waters broke within half an hour of going to bed on the due date!


I'm up for meeting up on Friday, Thursday no good as I am having a pamper afternoon whilst I still can!

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on all around them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but for hours on customary dates and now  spreading to random events throughout the year.I  New Year fireworks is a very recent construct, and now Halloween Fireworks are becoming a thing. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction? It really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes dumped in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.

      NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.
