Drip drip drop II
Update: I went back to bed after the last posting for another few fitful hours sleep punctuated by strong contractions every 10 minutes. We got up about 8am, and I had breakfast and a shower. Then the contractions stopped completely about an hour later and have not resumed.
We're off to hospital in about 15 minutes and I am going to ask for whatever it takes to get this party started properly because I think I have finally reached the end of my tether.
Mare, that's just Botany practising at being a teenager. You and E will be standing at the front door, having been ready for 20 minutes, yelling up the stairs 'Botany! Hurry up!' with increasing irritation.
Bet you anything she's doing her hair.
Good luck sweetpea!

No kidding. Nothing worse that stopping and starting! Yippie! Botany is coming!

Good luck and I hope the next time we hear from you, there's a little baby beside you and not inside you!!

Hope all goes quickly from here on out and that you are holding your beautiful daughter the next time we hear from you

Good luck - thinking of you today and sending thoughts of speedy-ness!

OH I can't believe this! I thought for certain I would be checking in this morning - afternoon for you - and that mom and dad and Baby B would be all snug and happy. I suppose Botany is snug where she is, that's the problem!
Good luck today!

Wishing you all the very best and hoping all is going smoothly (well, as smoothly as labor can!) and is moving along nicely.
Happy Birthing Day!

Wishing you all the best, Mare. Go girl(s)Catherine

Good luck with everything, try to find time to keep us posted!
Also, it's probably waaay to late now but if possible avoid antibiotics, they like to give you them if you've had a long time between waters break and baby arriving. I was on them and they can cause thrush - which I got, truly awful.
sorry - good luck, all the best !!!
