24 Hours Later

20 Jun

Two things:

First: NTL – Bastards!! I’ve been offline for nearly 24 hours now and I really genuinely felt like my right arm had been cut-off. I felt horribly out of touch. All because of one stupid thunderstorm and no redundant exchange filtering.

Second: Things are finally happening. Had a visit from the Midwives today (Naomi not me you understand) and apparently the Cervix is 90% effaced and she’s getting on for 4cm dilated.

Yeah, I’m not too sure what it means either but its a positive step and means birth type things are definitely underway.

    Good luck with the birth, man. Oh, and with NTL.

    So you’re going to be liveblogging the birth from the delivery room, then..? 😉

    Good luck, hope everything goes perfectly.

    All that waiting culminates in that special moment when you once again feel part of something much bigger. It’s very emotional, you will no doubt want to get all those thoughts that have buzzed around your head for so long out into the open like a bursting dam of joy! Yeah… it’s bad losing your net connection!

    BTW – Good luck with the birth too! 😉

    lol…nice one Martin ;o)

    Thanks all, things are moving with glacial speed at the moment but at least they are moving.

    Matt: Derek emailed me asking if I was going to liveblog it like he did but when I timidly suggested it to the wife she gave me The Look. I shut up.

    Kev – glad to hear things are happening. The waiting game can be so difficult. My best to Naomi and the rest of your family. I’m sure you will enjoy it to the limits.

    Do let us know what happens – I won’t be checking for a live blogged post or anything… We’ll know when you achieve full radio silence that good things have happened!

    Happy thoughts…
    Derek.

    Kev: (you) “…Derek emailed me asking if I was going to liveblog it like he did but when I timidly suggested it to the wife she gave me The Look. I shut up.”

    #Laughs # ….I can imagine that went down as well as a lead-balloon!

    I had NTL for broadband before…and have never had so many problems with an ISP (excluding Freeserve of course!) – they really are very shite. I might well be paying more for a BT broadband connection – but at least it hasn’t gone down once since I got it over a year and a half ago. Whereas NTL went down once…a month (if I was lucky!) And that’s not even mentioning how appalling their Customer Service was (is?)…I can feel my blood beginning to boil again!

    Oh…(still) best of luck with the birth…increased dilations – it’s nearly time to welcome the latest to the family!! 🙂

    Kev: Are we filling up the ‘white space’ nicely yet or what?

  10. Pierce June 20, 2005 at 23:11 #

    Good luck Kev.

    evil thunderstorms, i think we need a few in scotland and soon!

  12. Kev June 21, 2005 at 08:15 #

    Well, everythings gone very quiet again :o(

    I hate anti-climaxes.

  13. Kevin June 21, 2005 at 15:01 #

    all the best with the Birth!

  14. Graham Bancroft June 21, 2005 at 16:33 #

    Good luck Kev, although he’s probably here by now.

  15. Matt Robin June 22, 2005 at 00:00 #

    Graham: “Good luck Kev, although he’s probably here by now.”

    Indeed! (Or she?)

    As Graham and Matt said, Good luck Kev!

    Waiting for the good news…
