*** Redshoes' (Amy's) BABY IS HERE!!!! *** Update pg 1

[budge]

I got this message from Amy this morning. Looks like baby Wriggly is taking her time!
Lots of luck and love Amy...to you, Craig, Isaac and Wriggly. Hope she gets here soon! Lxxx


---------------------------------------

Well I went to bed and tried to sleep but OH was snoring a bit and obviously my mind was busy so only got a few hrs, then woke at 5am to some hot sensations in my pelvis, watched the clock for a while until realised they were coming every 5mins, so foned MW at 7am, she got out to me at 7:30am, and then the contractions, if that's what they were, stopped They still haven't re-started and so unless something happens, we will be going into hospital at 11am, where they will probably try the gel first to get me started..again..cannot believe I'm having bloody PROM again with this wriggly monkey, really thought things would go different, but guess my uterus is just too nice Isaac went to Grandma's last night and so I am a little anxious about him too, so just hoping that things get going, however they go, and baby is here and we're all home tonight, please pray for me hehe MW wouldn't check dilation due to infection risk so cannot say if or how far I'm dilated, its all new to me as Isaac was all in my back and these ones are all at the front, just feel very hot and a slight sting at the end, can walk and talk through them so would be surprised if I'm dilated past 2cms

Changed my avatar accordingly, this is a new labour, same bullsh!t

Update 1 @ 3.47pm 24th Aug

Amy has texted to say that she's had a stretch and sweep and gel and is now waiting. If nothing happens by 10pm tonight then she'll be given the drip. I've told her we're all thinking of her and have sent her everyone's love.
Go for it Amy! Lxx

Aw so good to hear you sounding so happy lovely - can't wait to hear your story, sounds so different from Isaac's birth! Hope you are all well and happy and Isaac in enjoying his baby sister!

I got your text today but couldn't open the photo - my dinosaur phone, sorry.

So proud of you Amy and so pleased for you all.
Can't wait to hear your birth story. I can't believe she arrived so quickly!
Tom sends big kisses to Ophelia and wants to know if he can take her out for dinner when she's 18.
