good luck !!!
poor Mrs James, its at this point the waiting becomes unbearable, the people around watching her like a hawk for any signs of cramps or 'nesting' behavior, or extra energy, or not enough energy, the pressing pain against the ribs, the aching feet, every braxton hix contraction bringing an adrenalin rush of fear & anticipation, every visit to the loo the expectation of some sign...
ARghHH ! hope sproggy comes soon & easy & well.

As for a name, Umpty has a nice ring to it, don't you think.

Looks like 2000AD has officially reached that age - perhaps it should have a good parenting/baby photos page.

dinnae worry therev, after 6 weeks it settles down a lot, & then its nice for 6 months, then its reasonable for 2 years, then it gets difficult, then harder, & harder, then between 7 & 12 its nice again, then its hell. then worse. My son was in court this week. happy joy.

James: hope all goes well.
Just dont do what my brother did:
Wife in labour, everything going okay, nips out for a fag for five mins. Bumps into Peter Kaye (yes, THAT Peter Kaye) in the corridor. Gets chatting about their impending Dad-dom and re-emerges 1/2 hour later with a photo on his phone. Caught birth by about ten minutes to spare.
Can you guess what he was more eager to tell me about?
And the best bit is that the photo is only of the top of both of their heads. My brother the plank.
