It's got to be imminent. She's building a nest now - so far she has a plastic bucket, 2 pieces of carpet (door  draught excluders), and pieces of twigs which she is currently carrying back to her maternity ward. Oh and she pulled down a pice of hessian sack we had put up across an open area.Mmmm, sounds cosy doesn't it? ;D 


I was convince she was going to have them early on thurs as she wasn't bothered about food and seemed a bit restless. So I took Fri. Off and she's still not had em yet. Hurry up!!!!! :excited:

Any news?


The carpet is for you to wipe your feet on before entering the maternity suite the bucket is for washing your hands if you need to intervene! :innocent:
No idea what the sack is for.
