NINE DARTER FROM WADE !!! BOOYAH !!!

That was bloody impressive.But Anderson was bang on those 180's.

As he said after Wade's got a lot longer left in the game than he has,so i think we'll probably see quite a few more 9 darter's from him

Presenting...5 failed inductions32 hours total labour72 hours from admission to birthWaters broken by hook at 1cmSyntocin forced contractionsNo tears, but grazes and one 'nick'and one broken rib later....I give to you,Dyllan Matthew ClarkBorn 19th sept at 11.29pmWeighing 6lbs 15.5ozNo birth story or anything like that. It was very traumatic, both Dyllan and i were very poorly and i want to focus on the good bits. The best part is finally being home after 10 days in hospital.

I was just wondering how many people on here are single parents?or are in relationships but not with the mother/father of their child??

MAT said she was worried they wouldn't renew her contract because she was pregnant because they said they wouldn't if she got sick during the trial time etc, This to me sounded like she was worried thy would fire her/not renew her contract specifically because she was pregnant, which is illegal as far as I know.

But you don't know anything, that's the point

It's not illegal.If they don't want to extend the contract they don't have too. They don't need a reason, it's a contract for a specific period which both parties signed. If you don't want to lose a temporary job at the end of the temporary contract then becoming pregnant obviously isn't the best move!

TB, let me explain it to you this way.You ran a very important business, a business that requires alot of hard work, physical and mentally challenging, with risks in everything that your workers did. You run a very tight ship and if you have a staff member that went off work sick, even if its through something they cant help, it throws the work place up in the air and could even result in someone becoming seriously ill or even death. Now, this said worker is only a temp and is only contracted until the 31st but given the nature of the sickness, they could be off until way past that date anyway.And even if she didnt have alot of complications and was well enough to work, the workplace couldnt really cope with her having maternity leave, and there is allways the possibility that she might not come back.Would you keep her on? or let her go? I'd show me the door in a second.Which is why im now writing my letter of resignation. I had ANOTHER stint in A&E last night and they told me that they want me on bed rest for a month and possibly longer if i was still having problems. BUT! i got to hear the babys heart beat for the first time!!!! The little motor going like the clappers it makes all this allmost worth it And they gave me some new drugs to try to keep food and fluid down and i had the best sleep EVER earlier

MAT,if for whatever reason you haven't got teh confidence in your doc,& you feel somethings not quite right go to the hospital,either ante natal or A&E(not sure if different hospitals work differently,but towards the end at least with the high blood pressure we went straight to antenatal) you can't take any chances & if they're any good they won't mind you going.Better safe than sorry.

My two lil angels...

Not taking sides & sticking up for anyone,all entitled to our opinions,but the main thing i see is that MAT's happy about it & they do their best for the baby which im sure they will.Even if they don't work out (touch wood it doesn't happen) then as long as they do everything they can to make the baby happy & make sure it's ok then everything can be all good. Anyway...On a happier,non argumentative note here's a few more pics.Sorry if i'm boring you all,i just can't help it i'm so proud & ecstatic at the moment

I was born 6 weeks early, so dont be relying on those 9 month countdown things too much!i was supposed to be born december 21st, i was infact born on 5th nov

Oh trust me, ive got the rages. My poor saxo's door nearly came off the other night. Everythings pissing me off, little niggles that would at any other time just annoy me slightly enrage me. Been really close to splitting up with other half latley too, because according to him, this isnt because of hormones its because i dont love him anymore. He also cant get to grips with the fact that i really dont want to be 'near' him right now.gggrrrr......

Well, the hormones have hit me.I've spent all of today fighting tears.I let myself cry a little bit earlier.Not tears of sadness at all. just when i thought about anything babyish my eyes watered.Weird.

hehe awww yea you'll find yourself looking at th estages each week & thinking oooh that's happening inside me.

Go on Bounty they have forums on there that are really helpful,Lucie found it really good to just let things out on there & talk to other girls going through the same thing,& it's also really good if your worried about anything because there's always someone on ethere that is going through or has been through the same things.

I can't be arsed to upload em haha im being lazy but there's a load on my myspace snotty's myspaz

Yaaaaay we're well chuffed!We got our first finished bottle a while ago,she drank 60mls.I know that doesn't sound a lot but it is for her at the minute as she was barely drinking 20 up till now.The midwives at the hospital said because she's slow feeding to give her about 30mls every 3 hours,then th emidwife that visited yesterday said give her 60-80.So i stayed up with her again last night & she gradually drunk a bit more each time.The midwife told us she has jaundice which while it's not serious isn't helping her feeding because it's like a vicious circle.The feeding helps the jaundice go,but the jaundice makes her tired & fall asleep while feeding.But we woke her at 1 this afternoon,gave her a wash & started feeding her.She stayed awake until about half 3ish & drank the 60mls in that time.It's still very slow but she's getting there,just gotta be patient & encourage her to drink.But it felt so good seeing her drink & hearing it go down & the fact she stayed awake for a while

Just looked at her tag & apparently it was worked out wrong at first & she was actually 6lb 7oz,still it is pretty small i guess,but in herself she feels a good weight & looks like she's gonna fill out well,obviously you can't really tell but ya know when you can just see things...She's got bloody long legs & feet though hehe.She's not being breastfed,i was all for it & tried persuading my g/f to do it,if nothing else than for that initial bonding.She did say she might try it once,because apparently even doing it just th eone time helps.But she decided against it completely in the end because of how sore she was was already she didn't think she'd be able to take it.TBH i really wish she would but as Rick said about it hurting,i'd rather she be comfortable & happy,plus in a selfish kind of way i can feel more hands on being on bottle duty.Beside's my Lulu's really stubborn at times so i'm not gonna try & persuade her anymore haha.I got about 2 or 3 hours sleep last night,she's still a bit slow feeding & took a while but we got there,she had a couple of good cries & i layed her on my chest to calm her down & she snuggled up & was all happy & content,which felt really good for me as a dad bonding with her.Got about another 3 hours sleep when nanny got up & took over.But i feel grat now i think it's still the adrenaline & excitement

What sort of nutcase has rings in their lip around small children? My daughter would pull at them all day. She clamped a clothes peg on my nose once.

After being induced twice on saturday & once on sunday,first starting the contractions mid saturday afternoon & hardly any sleep in about 3 days for both of us my g/f finally gave birth to our daughter Violet-Starr at 10:38 this morning weighing 6lb 4oz.A hell of a lot of waiting & pain but it was all worth it & they're both doing fine.Just gotta monitor the missus's bloodpressure & temp & as long as its ok im hoping they'll be allowed home tomorrow,can't wait....

Congrats MAT,i know what you mean, i couldn't keep it a secret when i found out my g/f was expecting,don't worry no matter how bad things get it really is all worth it in the end.Iv'e got a five year old daughter who's amazing,she's a total nutcase & can always make me laugh & cheer me up no matter what's wrong,i don't get to see her as much as i'd like but i still see her a few times a week or i have her when her mum goes out & when were together it's great cos it kinda feels like we're friends & not just father & daughter.Now my second daughters due in 2 weeks but my g/f's blood pressure has been high & she's been feeling unwell so the hospital did some tests & she has early signs of pre eclamsia,which is serious if left untreated,but they've found it early.The only cure is to deliver early,so they kept her in last night & they're going to induce her sometime today once a bed becomes free.So im just waiting around untill i can go see her at 11.But on the good side at some point today(hopefully) our little Violet-Starr will come into the world

Keep us updated wont you!!!!!???

On the subject of him using the crossface,this may sound rather silly but im not in the habit of crossfacing small kids.But the size of Daniel,being as small as they're saying,is it even possible to applie the crossface properly.Just a thought as imagining him putting the proper crossface on him i can just see the distance between his arm & head being too short.*edit*Sorry just seen Crux's post above

Spoiler from last nights Raw.........

Not sure if websites count.Guess they do.At the minute im reading the peoples war section of the BBC website.It's a massive collection of true stories of people going through the second world war.Im mostly reading the blitz section at the mo & a lot of the stories are from around where i live.I'm well into WW2 & the blitz but it's even more interesting because i know a lot of the places really well.

Lately i've been watching the Back To The Future box set.The whole series never get's boring.Pretty cool watching part 2 & considering its set only 9 years from,seeing what things in the movie are quite close to reality now.Also been watching The Warriors,another great film i never tire of
