5 days late....

[Coffee]

... the coffee bean must take after his/her dad. I've been off work 2 weeks already and amm ready to not be pregnant!

And yes, I've tried all the usual 'bring it on' things...

Inducement on Mon/Tues if no sign by then. Would really prefer it all to just happen... c'mon, bean.

[Bumble]

best of luck Coffee, sure bean will come along in his/her own time :)

[Bush Baby]

Jaysus, another P45-ette!! Hope things go well for you Coffee.

[Coffee]

Thank you! But I don't think it qualifies as a p45 baby... at least i really really hope the dad does not post here :D

[Spanky]

You need ScaldieLax.

[AeroPhile]

Jump up and down.

[TheFunkeyGibbon]

Thank you! But I don't think it qualifies as a p45 baby... at least i really really hope the dad does not post here :D

You mean you don't know if he does or you're not in touch with the father any more?

[Coffee]

I mean I'm 99.99% sure he does not post here :)

[julia]

Ugh. I hope you don't have to be induced, Coffee. I was induced with three mine and it's not a lot of fun. Get the drugs if they do wind up inducing you. Pitocin brings on labour hard. You go from 0 - 60 in no time and it's not even remotely comfortable.

C'mon, coffeebean, make an appearance already. Your mother is getting uncomfortable and you know how mothers are - she'll never let you forget it.

[dirtydog]

Alien was due to be induced on a thursday so she decided to pull a fast one and make her appearance on the wednesday.

The missus said that a long soak in a bath followed by some rumpy pumpy helped.

Good luck with everything. If its a boy, I may allow him to step out with my princess in 25 years or so.

[cho]

Good luck coffee! I'm dying to hear of the arrival of the coffee bean! Mind you, I've told people in your "old job" about it and everyone just says: "fuck off!! Coffee!!! Pregnant!! Fuck off!!

basically lots of disbelief among your old colleagues.

Rooting for you :)

[Barred]

Damm, I just found out that I am goingto be a Dad too - Totally unrelated :-)

I am having a Mexican Irish baby...

[harveythewonderhorse]

janey yer a fecund bunch these days,hope it's not catching, my neurologist would have a seizure!!!She's got me on the superduper nuttin gettin thru this bugger pill...interferon and babies not a good mix.. Coffee, find a tractor and a bumpy road..and best of luck

[Coffee]

Thank you all - the bump is going mad today, jumping all over the place. I'm hoping this means that he/she is getting ready!

[Sleepy the Dwarf]

No-one seems to want to try out my suggestion of scaring the little darlings out - get the daddy to hide somewhere and jump out and you and shout "BOO" - I'm betting labour will start instantly.

Best of luck with it, Coffee - am keeping my fingers crossed it all starts very soon for you - can't wait to see pics of little Beanie :)

[Ranu]

Good luck Coffee. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

[bear]

Coffee is pregnant!..

[Griffin]

Grace was a week late, can go up to two weeks on a first...

Any news BTW ???

[Elimare]

Best a luck Coffee! hope the bean shows up soon!

[joon]

I was a first baby and two or three weeks overdue. Mind you, I'm informed that I arrived within three hours of the first contraction.

[Qu1zMaster]

Be patient you lot. Baby will come when baby is ready. Timing of birth date is an inexact science that has hardly changed at all in several centuries.
(unless baby is 2 weeks overdue in which case patience will be officially no longer in order)

[grassshoppah]

Any news?

I was just going to suggest nipple tweaking and sex to get things going...but I'm guessing the coffeebean has arrived?

[cho]

<hops excitedly>

I know, I know.... but it's coffee's news so I'm saying nowt! :)

[birdbath]

fuckin hell. did bus put something in the water?

[Arista]

damn you Cho!!!!

[SlapHead]

fuckin hell. did bus put something in the water?
yep. sperm.

[birdbath]

that's a deeply unsettling thought.

[Ranu]

I've been here nearly 7 years and I'm neither pregnant nor engaged.

I want my money back.

[fig]

Awww - well done, Coffee! And welcome to the world, Bean!

Pics are essential.

[Busaras]

[Coffee]

Everyone doiong great. He had jaundice and we had to stay inthe hospital for 5 (loooonnnnnggggg) days but he is all healthy now, with just a hint of a yellow tan :)

Btw, sometimes, epidurals don't work...

[Rudy]

Jaundice my arse. All that is is the liver not working properly at first. He'll be fine.

I speak as a former jaundiced baby.

Oh - he may be gay but at least you'll have someone to decorate the retirement home!

[JoJo]

Congrats Coffee.. well done you being online again so quickly ! Hope you're recovering well.

[Busaras]

[Rudy]

Ohhh. Decisions, decisions.

Can I have both?

NO - WAIT!

Leopardskin.

[SlapHead]

[SlapHead]

Indeed. Liberace on LSD.
new Sky series... "When Good Gays go Bad!"

[Spanky]

Congratulations Coffee!

Doctors know nothing. That wasn't jaundice, 'twas caffiene staining. Had young Coffee Bean arrived on time, he wouldn't have been overstained.

[angry mouse]

Congrats Coffee ! so have you picked a name yet

[Ranu]

Well done Coffee. All the cute kids are called Ranu these days.

Just a thought.

[MadScientist]

Congratulations, coffee.

[julia]

Whoo!! Congratulations, Coffee! I'm thrilled for you and yeah, pictures, woman. 'cause it's not like you're busy or anything.

[Busaras]

i seem to be saying this a lot lately:

TON HOLY SPROG!


don't cry bb - your turn will come

[masterchief]

Congratulatons

[Morgause]

Congrats, Coffee! What did you mean about the epidural not working? Is that the anti-pain thingamajig? I hope not!

Just to add to the late first babies discussion; I was a first baby and was two weeks late. Are us firsts extra lazy and fond of warm places I wonder?

[Chameleon]

Congrats to Coffe and Mr Coffee and welcome to the bean.

[ArseBurger]

Congratulations. Cigars all round.

[icequeen]

Congrats & hello to the BabyBean!

[bear]

CONGRATS COFFEE!

[joon]

[blastman]

Congratulations to the Coffees.

I was the first child and about three weeks late. Must be a first child thing, all right.

[johnny_coffee]

Congrats Coffee....
It was long and drawn out, but you can hold that over him
for years.
Well done

[Coffee]

No idea how to put a picture up here - sorry!
Name is Eoin. Americans really not sure how to pronounce it, but that will build character.... bettter than Sue.

[Burger Rare]

I'm a first child and I was 2 months early. Sorry to mess up your theories!

[cho]

Hurray!! :)

Hope you're doing good missus. Send me a line when you have a chance. How is Mr. Coffee?

And uh yeah, what do you mean the epidural didn't work???

Have ya had a heineken yet to blur the memory? :D

[bear]

I'm a first child and I was 2 months early. Sorry to mess up your theories!
Totally off topic i know
Same here......birth twins...

How come by the way? I was just getting too big...the brother was a giant fecker....still he didn't make room for me.

[Snoop]

Wonderful news Coffee - welcome to the world baby bean.

[Burger Rare]

I was impatient, or so the mother says. I think it had something to do with Toxaemia, and the fact that no baby on her side of the family has ever made it to full term. Two weeks early is about as long as we'll hold out, according to family myth/legend.

[grassshoppah]

Congrats - I hope you are doing well! Are you over the shock of your milk coming in yet? Lovely name too btw...

I demand pictures.

[Walls]

Wonderful news! Congrats!

[Ida Lovett]

Oh, I've only just seen the news. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Cofee and welcome to Coffee Bean.
