Aggghhhhh...it HURTS!

"But do you know the best thing about pain? It lets you know you're not dead yet." (Viggo Mortenson, GI Jane 1997).

Balls. I'd rather not be feeling this level of pain thanks, Viggo.

So I've been at this labour lark for over 24 hours. It's 04.45hrs now. I can't sleep cos it hurts too much. Contractions are between 7-8 minutes apart and oh my goodness they chuffin' are agony! I had forgotten this bit! Can't think what it will be like in a few hours :(

10 days overdue and it looks like this baby will finally arrive today.

Pixie is sleeping at the parents house - her cousins are over from Hong Kong so she's happy as anything to have two little boys to boss around. She also thinks delivering a baby is like popping out to Tesco for a quick shop. I sooooo wish it was.

And I'm all tearful and missing her. And hubby is as much use as a flippin' Rice Krispie, snoring away saying "Darling, wake me when you need me" and promptly falling straight back asleep.

I have my faithful dog though, who hasn't left my side in hours. Even though he does keep trumping, it's better than nothing.

So hopefully this is the final blog before baby arrives. Wish me some peaceful vibes...please.
