…The baby makes me wait 13 days, and then, three hours before I’m due to be induced, I start labour.
At least I think so. Between contractions, I don’t quite believe it. During contractions…man, I really do.
We’re off to hospital. Anna will most likely post a comment when she hears news.
I write humorous, emotional romantic novels for Headline.

I am so excited! OK…won’t post too much…just…YAY!!
I’m going to have a difficult time sleeping tonight!!
Fingers crossed.
It does seem to work this way!
That is typical, love
Thinking of you. I hope it’s a very special day
Love
Kate
Michelle and Kate are dead right there – happened to me, too. I woke up in the middle of the night, decided I’d eaten something dodgy and tried to go back to sleep. It was only on the way to hospital that it dawned on me… (Definitely preggy brain!)
Thinking of you. (And don’t let your DH near the controls of your TENS machine
)
love t’other Kate
All the best, Julie! Hope you have an ‘easy’ delivery.
Julie, all the best for today! What a wonderful Christmas present (I’m misting up just thinking about it).
Yay!!!! Getting ready to raise a glass to the news!
Thinking of you all, best wishes for a fantastic Christmas
Great news, Julie. Thinking of you and how lovely to have a Christmas baby. xxx
Can’t wait to hear the brilliant news. What a wonderful Christmas present he will be. How many festive boy’s names are there????
I wonder what you will call him?
Take care

Hope you’re not in labour too long and you get to hold your baby soon. Thinking of you.
Go Fecklet Go!
Hope that it all goes easy for you and if it doesn’t, I hope you don’t remember it

Hope it goes okay!
Panting in sympathy, waiting for news. Hope it’s quick and easy, Julie.
WOOHOO!!! I *knew* that’d happen. I’m so excited for you all!

Wow!! I’ve not popped in for a while and Lo, a sproglet on the way! Congratualtions. And just so you know, my Sassyface did the same thing, labour began about three hours before I was due to go in to be induced.
I wanted to say, I was in Woolies when I saw your books on display! It was a thrill to point and say “I know her! I know who wrote that!” The staff member I grabbed was kind of rude and went to attend to the queue at the checkouts instead of sharing my thrill. Tcha, some bah humbugs, eh? *wink*
All the best!!
Yay! Hope it all goes so smoothly. How exciting to look into your baby’s face for the first time!
All the best, Julie and fam!
Anna
Many, many good wishes, Julie! Thinking of you.
Love Jan
Well, Fecklet was never going to be ordinary!
Thinking of you, Julie, and sending all good wishes to you and your husband that your son will soon be with you.
Can’t wait for the news!
Love,

It must be the threat of eviction that spurs them into action. This past August, my daughter was scheduled for a repeat c-section at 39 weeks–she was in labor when she got to the hospital. They actually gave her something to slow it down.
Good luck, Julie! Can’t wait to hear (& see pics)!
Thinking of you Julie. Hope everything goes well on this very special day.
Chris.
May you have an easy hour, hon.
All the best,
Gail
Sending you wishes for an epidural! Can’t wait to see pictures of Fecklet!
Congratulations!!! Can’t wait to hear how it all went!
What a wonderful day, Congrats! Best wishes to you and your family.
XOXO,
Dawn
Yay! So happy to say I told you so!
Hoping that by now you’re all tucked up in a comfy bed nursing that scrumptious new baby. xxx
Prayers and fingers crossed for a speedy and healthy delivery Julie and David. Happy birthday (Fecket) Cohen!!!!!!!
Oh yay! Figures though huh?
Congrats!
So glad the time has come Julie – what brilliant timing! Perfect!
Can’t wait to hear your news soon. Jude
Oh brilliant! Yep, that’s labour, it B****dy hurts! I hope it’s all over soon and you’re enjoying your first cuddle!
