OK I"ll hang in there for a bit longer. Don't want to miss the fun. I'm playing freecell at the moment so that will keep me occupied.

You still there Persey? Or are you off doing something else, too.

Pam.

Sorry Persey. I've replied now. How does one usually know that someone has sent a PM? Is there something here that I've missed that would have notified me?

Pam.

Pam ....near the top of the page , where it says messages , when you receive a PM there ought to be a white envelope to signal an unopened message .

It might still be a couple of hours or more yet before the baby arrives , so please don't force yourselves to stay awake on my account ( unless you really want to ...lol x )

Pamela Report 15 Oct 2010 13:08

Oh OK Amanda. Thanks for that. I'll keep an eye out. I think that's only the second PM I've had since I started coming in here. The other one was from Sue but she sent a note here saying she'd PM'd me.

Gee Amanda, there's no way I'll make a couple of hours. But if I wake up during the night I"ll pop in and see what's happening. I'll bet you won't sleep. You'll be too excited. Where are you Amanda? I gather you're in UK somewhere.

You're more than welcome Amanda. I love meeting new people from different places. Hope all goes well for your Charlotte and I'll look forward to chatting with you again some time soon.

Ciao for now,

Pam.

I am glad it is coming along so quickly Amanda.

Pam, I used to get the white envelope next to the messages, but that stopped happening last year and now I never know that I have a message. I have a notification sent to my email address,so that is the only way I know there is one

I am sorry to hear that you are in pain, I hope that you get better nights sleep tonight

Nice jim jams Perse

Cheers Persey xx

Hello Linda ......I certainly feel hapier to know that things are progressing now . It is most odd being on the "outside" instead of being in the thick of things , actually I have to admit that it's a darn sight more relaxing this way....lol

sleep well Persey and Pam , " see " you both later : ))

They are my ones with the owls on them Linda - thought they would be apt to wear for the occasion.

I thought to myself why is Pam playing Freecell when she can be reading her PM.

Whenever I am on here of a morning , I get quite a few little white envelopes.
Yours has probably worn out Linda, perhaps you can ask for a little picture of a pigeon.

Now definitely off to bed....

Nite Perse

Bella has arrived : )) She got here at 4.45 pm . Don't know any details yet as she had only just got here when my son phoned sounding very relieved .

He had phoned an hour before and ended up sobbing ( which he never does ) as he was distressed at what Charlotte was going though ...bless him .

Anyway , I'll be back on later as I', hoping to get a call saying I can go and have a viewing : )))
THank you all from the bottom of my heart for the support . I needed it ....lol xx

Amanda,
That's wonderful news, Hope Charlotte and Bella are doing well, and that dad has overcome his distress for his loved ones, wouldn't be surprised that he sheds a tear after baby's safe arrival.. Sounds like a very caring bloke:)
Congratulations to them all, and to Nan Amanda:) for being patient.. bet that was hard as you were involved in your other g,children's births.
Hope you get to have a cuddle very soon :))

Thank you for the congratulations : )

I've just got back from the hospital , Charlotte is staying in overnight .

Bella is beautiful , 7 lb 12 oz , head of thick glossy black hair ( she looks remarkably like Luke did as a newborn ) except she has inherited her Mums cleft chin ( shades of desperate Dan ! ...lol ) .

Amanda2003 Report 15 Oct 2010 20:36

Sandie ....it was SO hard being patient and not there ...lol....but Charlotte's Mum has had the experience of a lifetime seeing her first Grandchild emerge and that makes me very happy indeed : ))

Oh well done Amanda and of course well done Charlotte.

She sounds like a little beauty..... Charlotte must be needing a rest after so long.

Cyber cuddles from NZ & congratulations.
