Man, I am getting nervous.............my head is in bits and I cannot concentrate on anything. Alex has finished work now and seems to want to completely clean the house from top to bottom. I am trying to stop her doing too much.......

 

You'll (and Alex and the Baby) will all be fine!! That's what alcohol is for . .to calm the nerves!! (Well . . .at least one benefit!)

I guess I'd be nervous as heck too, man! Hang in there . . .

 

Going overboard like that is normal for some women to do. I wouldn't worry. She'll be fine.

I was nervous, too. It'll all be good, when you see that baby being born. It's the single most amazing thing I have ever seen.

 

This is how she feels !! It want be long now!! I am excited for you guys!!

 

Good luck James!

Btw, what are you guys naming him?

 

do I really have to tell you again??

 

Oh yeah thats right.. I guess I should have searched

 

Even I knew and I have to ask where things are all the time!

James- it will be here before you know it.
Just don't tell her to get her own self to the hospital like my hubby did.

 

"arin" right?




right? :shock:

anyhoo, james, im happy for ya if you ever need a babysitter in the US... (who just might have intentions of brainwashing the kid to bring back the Afro in Enlgand... but you didnt hear that from me)... you know who to call

 

Alex can look after herself, I'll be in the pub, not as noisy in there, and when I get the call, I can wet the baby's head without even having to get out of my seat :shock:

(I am so dead if she reads this )

Thanks for the messages all, I think I am panicking more than Alex!

 

It's all worth it in the end James. I thought I was gonna go nuts the first time around. You'll get the greatest feeling of your life when you see your baby born. Good luck and enjoy the free time before he gets here!

P.S. Don't name him Arin! His head is big enough already.

 

dont listen to him! his head is treaded. and whatever that means, it cant be good.

anyhoo, im keeping my fingers crossed that his hair grows into a 'fro by 5

take care :P

 

You crack me up Arin! Treadhead is in reference to that big monster thing in my avatar.

 

Oh man, I would be one nervous wreck also! Good luck!!!... everything will come out just fine

 

i know. but the idea of a guy who has treads on his head is unsettling, thus dehumanizeing you and making a mockery of your argument, which in perspective makes mine look that much better, increasing the likliness of him listening to me, and not you

 

Arin, shut up.

 

Good Luck James- it will be all worth it in the end!!!!!!!!

I was wondering- I had two of em... Neither time did my hubby(or in case #1 mom) wear scrubs and sterile and all that stuff- is that a movie myth? In my sons case I was lucky to find a midwife(and my hubby delivered him) because he was a hurricane baby.

So is that BS or fact? My daughter was born in San Diego and My son on Langley AFB in Virginia.

When I had 4 weeks to go I was busy fleeing Biloxi so my kid wouldn't be born in Mississippi.

 

I have been told that the only time scrubs are needed is when it is a c-section, in which case I wouldn't be allowed in anyway! As long as you are clean, I do not think there is a problem. Like you say, seems like a movie myth.

 

I was in blue jeans and a T-shirt for our daughter (at 2am, I ain't gonna shower up first). Its a really cool experience. Something no one can describe successfully.

Alex is in her "nesting" phase, where women have a compelling urge to clean and get the house perfect for the newborn. I haven't met a woman yet that hasn't had that happen to during pregnancy.

 

just found out that the baby is breach. looks like a c-section after all :notnice:. we will find out the date on Monday if that is the case.
