The pessary probably won't do too much so don't hold your breath.
The drip will really get the show on the road however.
(Disclaimer: I'm no doctor!)
She's here!
Pessary in @ 2100 yesterday, waters broker @ 0130, had a load of meconium in the waters so a bit of a panicked rush to hospital. things started going very quickly once we got there. Epidural went in just in the ice of time and at 0531, Mrs JB did an amazing job and delivered our first child, a little girl.
I can honestly say that nothing has ever prepared me for a moment like that. THE most intense experience of my life, fascinating, scary, exhilarating. beautiful.
Have popped home to walk the dog and tidy the house a bit. she's staying in tonight, and coming home in the morning.
I won't be forgetting today in a hurry! *getting dusty in here again*
🙂
May I be the first to congratulate.
Ive been waiting ages to do so 🙂
pics or it didn't happen
welldone all
Well done to MrsJB.
Hope it all goes well from here on. As a father of 3 girls I can let you into a secret..... girls are fab 😀
Congrats. Enjoy your last night of sleep if you manage to get some tonight.
Congratulations 🙂

It's funny how having had one still doesn't prepare you for doing it again and the above still holds true second time around!
Outstanding, Jimbo, outstanding! Heartfelt congratulations to you and your family! (Sounds odd, doesn't it? 🙂 )
worth the wait, well done to you both! Take a deep breath and have a relaxing beer tonight.
After being told it may be a long wait, Mrs scamper has started her contractions 36 hrs ago with a due date today. an initial panic of them being close together they are still erratic so she is cracking on with the ironing!
home now, watching olympics, with little Annie sleeping on my chest while Mrs JB gets some sleep. Confused dog is looking on, but seems happy to see the new addition.
Had a really nice night of hanging out with the new family last night. Not daunting at all felt perfectly natural. It's all a bit special innit!?
not that excited about going back to work!
right, promise not to pollute STW with any more proud dad content. 🙂

At the frankly worthwhile risk of repeating previously given advice, stay north, do not venture south. It's like watching your favourite pub go up in flames.
This, just for expectant Dads is tosh. it's totally fine. I'd liken it more to having a basic single bladed pen knife but then realising it's actually the big fat swiss army bad boy knife that can do lots of things very well.
All is well, BTW!

Really pleased for you all, Jimbo. Great to hear! 🙂
