Thursday Thursday
By this time on Thursday I will have had a little baby.
Big-P and I went on over to the doctor’s yesterday morning and he suggested that we should schedule a caesarean and get this little creature out into the world. How surreal. How very, very surreal.
How exciting and scary and amazing.
Not long now little boo.
all best wishes from texas-
I am so very excited for you all!
Looka baby X–just hanging around and ready for the big adventure!
Good luck with motherhood. You will have many years of hard slog ahead of you, but I guess that’s not the sort of thing you want to think about! hehe. Get lots of sleep now while you can! Best of luck to you and Phil – you two will make the cutest parents! *squeals*
Best wishes!
congratulations. i can’t imagine how great it is to have a baby. i bet it’s just wonderful. you have been blessed 🙂
congrats on the little baby! It’s spring in Australía right? anyways, spring in Iceland is a lovely time of year to have a baby, you have the whole summer to look forward too.
oooh tis almost 5 o’clock. the suspense is killing me 🙂
Congratulations Claire!! Wishing the 3 of you all the best and much happiness!
warmest wishes to the three of you from NY!
That’s so wonderful. Congrats to you and Big-P 🙂
yay!
Ooh, that is so exciting! October 3rd for the little babe! 🙂
Quick…go to a movie, take a quiet drive, make something hot and spicy…then that will be it for 18 years. Good luck and use a pillow when you need to sneeze.
Ahhhhh! Gosh Pea, I’m so excited for you, P and your family. Good luck with everything! Will we see a Henry’s Diary style page popping up in a week?xx
Congratulations!
All the very best Claire!
Our thoughts will be with you.
omg! it’s happening so quickly, i can’t quite believe it. congratulations to both of you. big love and hugs.
Are we to presume you’re popping out a little boy?
I can’t wait to hear about how Thursday goes. How exciting!
Your guess is as good as mine Isabelle!
That’s so exciting!
Congrats! I wish you well and can’t wait to hear all about the new little one on the other side of Thursday! Wahoo! God bless you!
good luck, I’m sure you won’t need it.
And as my friend (who’s just had her babe via c-section) says: compared to a natural birth, it’s a piece of piss …
Her obstetrician wrinkled his brow at that.
:e)
Congratulations! Don’t forget to keep us updated even after the birth. If you can. I don’t have one, so I have no personal experience with how overwhelming it can be. Good luck!
Can’t wait to hear all about the little Babylu. What a wonderful, amazing time in your life.
best wishes.
ooh! i’m so excited for you.
congratulations! =)
*HUGS*
xx
I wish you and Big-P lots of luck, Claire. bluepixie and I will be thinking good thoughts come Thursday…
Oooh, so exciting! Sending you lots of good luck vibes, and warm thoughts.
Can’t wait to hear about baby Lu! 😀
I can’t really add anything new – just good luck, how exciting, congratulations and I look forward to reading about life afterwards just as soon as you are ready.
oh my! best wishes!
October 3rd! That’s also the date the new Sims expansion pack is released! Woo!
I’d say sleep in… you won’t have that luxury again for a while.
How exciting! At least with a Ceasar you know when it’s going to happen. (unless it happens sooner naturally, ooher.)
Caesar. Bah.
BTW Looby ain’t Pea! Pea is *another* lovely Melbourne mum.
Congratulations & best wishes.
October Third? That’s the national holiday of my home country!
Wishing you well,
R.
will be thinking of you here on the other side of the world ! Can’t wait to hear about it!
Good luck!
good luck! holding your baby for the first time is an absolutely amazing experience. can’t wait to hear about yours.
wish you all the best!love,
Congrats & best wishes
Congrats to you and Big-P!!! 🙂
Mazel tov, and all best wishes for continued health for mother and child!
A poem for you…and happy birth to your baby 😀
Antonella
THESE LAST FEW HOURS
It is important to me
that I spend a part
of the next few hours here
alone with you in the darkness.
You and I will never be
this close again.
By morning you will be
a tiny person
all on your own.
No longer the kicking,
demanding bulge in my body
that I have grown to love so well.
I pray that God will safely guide you
on your journey tonight,
and I ask Him for the strength
to help you all that I can.
Again you signal,
your impatience
to be free…….
Time to wake your Daddy
Oooh, very exciting! And the illos you did for NaNoWriMo look beautiful, too! I guess you won’t be participating this year, though…best of luck, xxx
Oh, how exciting! Congratulations, and good luck to you and Big-P! fishy and I will be thinking of you…
Congrats and good luck! What an exciting moment! Can’t wait to hear all about the baby!
Good luck on Thursday! One plus about a Cesaerean is that your baby will be guarenteed to have a nice, round head. (S)he’ll be extra cute that way.
Best wishes and congratulations once again.
Oh my goodness! Best of everything to you and family!!!
Best of luck to the soon to be new parents! We’ll be thinking good thoughts for you over here in Maryland, USA.
How exciting! And you’ll get to have a supercute big pink smiley scar across your tummy!
I hope it all goes well!
yayayayayaya! your going to be a mummmy sooo soon!
eeep, i’m so excited 🙂
I only recently started reading your page, but I just wanted to wish you all the best with your delivery. I went throught almost the same situation about a year ago. Mine was born on Oct. 18 (Almost two weeks late!) via c-section. You have nothing to worry about!Best of luck and congrats!!!!
Your world-wide fan club, White Mountains of New Hampshire Chapter here, wishes you and yours all the best!
Congratulations, best wishes, hugs, etc. 🙂
Can’t wait to hear about baby-x!
All the best to you and Big – P! Good luck on Thursday, I’ll be thinking of you two (no wait, THREE!)

God speed, Lu and baby! (Good luck daddy, too!)
Sorry to hear you have to have a c-section, but on the bright side you know when the baby will be here. Best wishes!
Woo hoo! How wonderful!

Well, what do you know. Something scary– I predicted this when I read the previous entry. And wow, it’s even cooler that I was right because Thursday is my birthday as well. How wonderful that I get to share it with Baby-Lu. 😀
How exciting..! Good luck, Claire, Big-P & Baby-X (I’m a caesar-baby too!) – love and joy for the days and years ahead 🙂
Best wishes with the baby! How exciting! I can’t wait to hear whether it’s a girl or boy, and the name! Good luck!

Congratulations from Manila.
break a leg! and now we’ve come full circle with the best baby wishes. FWIW, Joshua laughed for the first time today – he must’ve sensed that something good was about to happen.
Congratulations! Another well-balanced Libra is about to make his/her debut into the world. 😉 Sending good vibes your way!
Congratulations! 🙂
best wishes from seattle.
WOW! How totally exciting for you guys! Best wishes for Thursday.
I think it’s so cool that you didn’t find out the sex of baby-x! I think it’s one of the biggest surprises you can get.
I’m just waiting to find out what colour furry baby boots I’m going to knit! I have the coolest pattern I’m dying to try!
how very wonderful for you. i hope your baby is happy and healthy. s/he certainly has a wonderful mom.
*yay* the bundle of joy is about to arrive! I’m so excited for you and Big-P! Congrats!
dearest claire!
this is such a huge thing and it’s almost impossible to find the right thing to say – other than – i hope it’s a beautiful and amazing experience for the 3 of you and just the beginning of a happy & wonderful family life together.

Very best wishes to you and your (tomorrow) new baby. God Bless
oooh! how exciting! congratulations!
I’ve never posted here, but I’ve been reading for awhile. Good luck, congratulations, and, although I’m not a parent, I was once a child (of course) and I think the best advice is to listen to lots of advice from people, but in the end, do what YOU think is best for your own child. I can’t wait to read more!
Congratulations! :O)
The third of October is my birthday as well! Best wishes and congratulations.
God bless you all.xoxox sooz and peter

Good luck Claire and P. All your cyber friends will be thinking of you.

I can’t believe I wrote “Pea!” I was thoroughly confused by Big P I think. And perhaps I was just too excited by Claire’s announcement! Today’s the day!
I’m horribly excited for you. You’ll make an incredible mother, and Big P a wonderful dad, I’m certain. HappyBirthday to the lil one.

Good luck today, Claire – I’m thinking of you in sunny Scotland! Enjoy the birth (yes it is possible) and all the wonderful things a baby brings to your life.
Congratulations Loobylu… hope the three of you have enjoyed your first day together. Enjoy every minute. 🙂
Congratulations! By this time you must have had the baby already!!
Of course the kid’s hair is long. It’s about time you got this gestation business over with, C, and gave the poor thing a trim.
Congrats Loobylu, Big-P and Babylu! Best wishes from the states (and I admit, I went hunting for any reports on the birth. Thanks to Daniel for the update!:^)
Congratulations to the new parents!

It won’t be long now and you’ll have a babe in your arms!
Hush Little Baby, Don’t say a word.
Lubbylu’s gonna buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mocking bird don’t sing,
Momma’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Momma’s gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass should break,
Momma’s gonna bake you a birthday cake.
And if that birthday cake’s too tart,
Momma’s gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart don’t go,
Momma’s gonna buy you a boat to row.
And if that rowing boat don’t float,
Momma’s gonna buy you a billy goat.
Hush little baby don’t say a word,
Momma’s gonna buy you a mocking bird.
oh god, its already friday, i’ve miss everything, like always!

Mister Schmalzer took the express bus home last night becasue I had a meeting and could not pick him up. When he got home he announced to me and Melanie, with whom I was meeting, he had a poem to share. He read it on the bus.
The Day I Met Myself and Me, by Alex who is twelve years old.
I zoom up the atmosphere.
Through Hubble I see myself on Pluto.
I say hello, but he can’t hear me in space.
I do the Hokey-Pokey and he understands.
We meet on Mars and startle me playing Monopoly.
It’s scorching hot so we play leap frog in the cool canals.
Claire: Imagine all the amazing poems you will be reading as little boo grows.
Congrats & Good luck!
Congratulations to both of you!
congratulations!
EEEEEE! I didnt realize it was so soon. YAY! *giggles*
