Who'd have thought that the movements of a ball of mucus would get you all excited!

good luck

Must say feel V. honoured that you chose to share this experience so graphically and intimately with us!

Quack

I turn my back for two mintues and it all starts to happen!!

I am soooooooo excited for you, there is nothing more magical than the wonder of bringing a new baby into the world.

As Steffib said - calm down, Tash has it under control.

Big hugs to you all and I can't wait to find out whether it's a boy or girl and what you're gonna call it.

Great news Chris

At last things are moving along. Youve kept us on tenter hooks for a whole week already, but we dont mind at all, promise.

Glad your waiting is nearly over. Will be waiting with baited breathe and sending best wishes and thoughts of joy to you both.

Hope pics will be up on the blog as soon as chrispossible.

Best of Luck

Oh according to Ken Bruce ...... Chris 'n' Tash are already at the maternity Hospital!!!

Things are moving!

Quack

BM - liked your last entry on previous blog to get us moving over to this one!!!

Good luck to the two (soon to be three!) of you - we'll be expecting a virtual cigar or two!

Thought the snow was exciting this morning and now this....!!!!!!!

I envy you Chris & Tash - there really is nothing like welcoming your own precious little child into the world....... oooohh i'm coming over all emotional remembering the births of my two!

GOOD LUCK

xxxx

Could be a TNWC to wet the baby's head!?!

Wow. Best of luck you guys.

Hope it's a nice easy labour for Tash.

Enjoy your Pat leave :-)

How about Micky Jackson/Macca - The Girl is mine!

or

Tin Lizzy - The Boys are back in town!

or

Kim Wilde - You keep me hanging on!

Depending on the circumstances! Hopefully not the latter.

DD out

Dissing you are probably right - this time tomorrow maybe!!!!

Bees xx

Oooh, I can get all excited on this blog now...

thanks, I would have stayed on the other one.

Come on Natasha!!!

oh thank goodness....this has been one long pregnancy... now Chris remember to let Tash have most of the gas 'n' air old boy......

we await the news :)

OMG - please please Matthew not more golli*** chat! Am i not allowed to say that on the blog!? Really bbc you need to cover more newsworthy stories. There are children,women and men starving in parts of the world, religious wars ongoing, climate change ongoing and many other much more important issues that could be discussed!

dreamer
xxx

Dreamurdream - i think 'coz of all the snow that there are NO newsworthy storys at the moment so they are just jumping on anything.

Perhaps he should be doing something on being overdue!

Quack

Chris and Tash: things are progressing, very rapidly it would seem! Good luck, thinking of you and wee baby Evans - God bless!

C xx




P.S. Happy birthday DD - it would be lovely for you if the baby shares your birthday! x

Just read my stars for today and as fellow Caps on here will know this is soo soo true! So guess I should start streamlining. But in the meantime still need much hugs and kindness to help me on my path. Incidentally bingo is a Cappie so how was your date Bingo?!!




As Venus lines up to argue with Pluto in your sign and we head into the Lunar Eclipse, there's a chance you're going be feeling perhaps a tad overwhelmed by life, what you need to do to get everything in your life straight, what you need to get rid of and so on. So what to do? Well, you could just have a meltdown, if you like. That's sort of an understandable thing to do, based on your stars right now. but oh-so-unproductive. Alternatively, you could work harder to streamline your life. That can work.

MW, a!

Just a quick one for our resident Super Slueth.

I am not one of the Prof's alter egos. I am a (virtual) person in my own right. I just happen to be another person who has a different view of what this blog should be.

I won't say anymore now lest I'm accused of bring down the blog on this joyous occasion but in the words of The Terminator "I'll be back"

New kid on the blog here

Good afternoon to you all, what an exciting day!

Been hovering around for ages reading all your banter and enjoying it.

The pending birth seems to have been putting us all on tenter hooks for ages so
fingers crossed little one arrives safely today.

Good luck CLP and Tasha and CLP don't forget to buy some arnica, it will help!

Missy xx

Why can't I listen again to last night's drivetime?

Wow how exciting, such a wonderful time your first little one, love to you all

R x

Well hurrah and huzzar!!!

Ooh CLP, I'm so excited for you both and am keeping fingers and toes (ouch) crossed that everything goes well and that baby dj makes a safe and - hopefully - swift arrival.

I'm guessing s/he'll be 8lbs 2oz but crikey that would hurt wouldn't it?!!

Now puuuuuuuuuush .......

Oh Bingo - did you take your date to meet CLP and Tom? What a way to impress her, better than driving into the back of her car!!

MizzD XXX

Oh wow! That's fantastic news! Our thoughts and prayers are with you both - we will wait with baited breath for news! Enjoy and memorise every single minute of it! And record what ever they allow you to record! But take some reading stuff for you both incase things go slowly.

Bless you both!!

I'm good thanks Lyndyloo - and you?

It's nice to get the chance to get on here fora change !! I was telling La Love that my office is like Piccalilli Circus most days and there are people lurking over your shoulder, so blogging has become my little secret!!

Anyhoo, good to 'see' you too and all you other lovely people as well.

DD - happy birthday old bean xx

jillygoat xx

#35, funnily enough, you're right, the blog isn't about you, so let's all just be happy for the person who has enabled this community to come together.

Chris, our four year old is making a card for the new baby!!

AK, my apologies x

Ah I remember it well, 12 years ago yesterday.. Good luck - happy pushing. xx

Oh bless you both . Hope all goes well and quickly .

Susan - I hope Charis is going to post her card to CLP - bet he'd be tickled pink! As for the photo of Niamh - what an absolute dote xx

My brother and his family are coming over in April from New Zealand and I'm getting very excited ...... it's been a year since we were over there and I miss them so much. They're coming to stay with us over the Easter weekend and 'im indoors is already planning an Easter egg hunt ............ who's the kiddie eh?!!!!

jillygoat x

Lots and lots of luck to all of you for a smooth delivery! Wait until you're holding that little baby, thinking "aren't we clever, how did that happen?" - the best moment of my life without shadow of a doubt.

Take care,

A x

good luck chris and tash, its my birthday today so its a good day to be birthing!! X Maxine

CLP - How fabulous...

Good luck - hopefully we'll be wetting the baby DJ head tomorrow!

Happy birthday to you Maxine!

Jillygoat et Hellenbach, bonjour!

and very many thanks.

DD - de rien, mon ami x

Oh gaw blimey and I've been in blimmin meetings all blimmin morning and talk about late to the party and I can't even put the blimmin radio on as is similar to library in my office at the moment, and wouldn't want to wake my colleagues up now would I? But there is nothing on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News so I'm hoping that I may have got here just in time.

Have just realised, I spent a lot of last night not asleep but with proper tummy ache...was I having phantom labour pains? What if I was being all ESP-y? Or maybe I should have just had less cheese sauce.

Oh Christophe, not having had the wonder of childbirth as part of my life's experience, I have no way of imagining how you (both) must be feeling about now, so all I can do is send you (both/three) the very best wishes I can possibly muster, and hope that everything is all fabulously ok!

now then, ice chips. Or is that just in America?
love

btw TWNC or TWINK...either...gotta be done really!

...and ARF...with all this that's going on, how can you all even manage to think of such a thing...but (and I have no idea why just in case you're wondering) I quite fancy Day Dreamer by David Cassidy.

I am now going for a lie down.

Good luck Tash!

Hazel: Well, that's me for the rest of the day - singing Day Dreamer!

Oh David, you and and I were meant to be!

Crikey, six months and no blogging and now I can't stop - sorry !

Muchos exciting! Bring on the baby!!!

I still think Monday would be an awesome birthday 09/02/2009!

See I was listening yesterday and was very disappointed that we didn't have Deliliah but the Helium guys did make me laugh!

I had to just dip and say good luck to Natasha for the birth.

Fingers crossed it's a girl

Good luck Chris and Tash, hope all goes well, looking forward to another update!

Dragonxx

PS Chris I hope you remembered to change out of your pjs!

Good day to all bloggers and lurkers.

I drove home in blizzard conditions last night after the roads were all clear of snow I went training for the evening over the other side of Bournemouth. came out of the sports centre to snow in large chunks - hmmm got into car after sweeping some of the snow off and then proceeded through Charminster, Winton, Wallisdown and down the Dorset way very cautiously as the roads were slippy. Once on the outskirts of Poole the snow turned into sleet and rain and I was okay getting home - this morning the roads I have to use were clear. Were on call for severe weather once more from 6am tomorrow.

Afternoon each...

ooohhhh...`citin indeed guys....cant add anything thats not been said already but good luck anyway..and hope its an easy one! xx

I was lucky enough to be at my gorgeous nephews birth almost 4 years ago and its an incredible memory...and having no kids myself (by choice) i keep nagging my sis to have another one..think it may be working too!

Now, where has all the snow gone? Drove up the m62 at speeds of no more than 30mph in blizzard conditions this morning...and now its virtually all gone...bang goes my snowman building plans!

Right...fantastic news that has made us all smile... radio now tuned in and on loud to keep updated!

Spread the love!

mSc x

PS- Carlindonny...are you really?! if so..where?! we may be neighbours!

Chris I hope that Tash has cut her finger nails!

Very excited for you, loads of good luck to mummy and daddy Evans.

Debbie x

Oh..sorry..forgot to say...Happy Birthday to DD and Maxine....hope u have lovely days!

And welcome back HLS...we all missed ya!

mSc x

Hiya troops:

Honestly, I am sitting here, unable to concentrate!!

Mary, save me some of that wine - I'm going to need it!

Jillygoat - lovely to see you on the blog. You always make me laugh, please stay around!

Dozymac: lovely to see you on the previous blog! I really enjoyed meeting you (and your husband), hope we can get another meet organised soon.

Susan: I know you have gone for the day, but it's nice to see you back on the blog! I'm assuming you are chatting to Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry on Twitter?!

Hope everyone else is ok.

Tash! We're thinking of you .... so much!

C xx

Ok so we have 3 hours until Drivetime. Last Thursday Chris said that he wasn't taking any time off because the hospital was only a 5 minute walk from the studio ......... the 2nd most burning question is (1st beining girl/boy) .....is he going to be doing tonights show? If not who do YOU think should stand in?

Quack

#69 Why are we crossing our fingers for a girl?

Em xx

Richard Allinson, maybe?

Good luck to you both especially Natasha. Looking forward to the next update. ccxx

Re #76 Ctd and Bingo!

well NKOTB.......Bingo has been down to see chris a number of times now so you never know! Didn't he say earlier that he was there yesterday? Perhaps he offered his services "just in case"!

Bondy what's your suggestion? You're normally joining us at this time of day.

quack

NKOTB...yes! great idea...and stick Clodagh and Hazel in there too and that would be a show! Come to think of it...we should all hot foot it down to London and take over the show...we`d do an AMAZING job!...or it would be total carnage a la Top Gear doing the radio show!

Oh, and its got to be Richard Allinson or Simon Mayo i reckon..

mSc x

Whose the guys standing in for JV? I think he is awful.

ChrissieS - thank you - it's great to have the chance to blog again, albeit furtively - and on such an exciting day too!!!

With a bit of luck, and some effective pushing on Tash's part, Chris could still make into the Drivetime chair for 5pm!!!! Well, if that French justice minister could manage to go back to work five days after a Caesarean .................

jillygoat x

Love the excitement on here. I agree with Lyndyloo #16 how can we all be so excited about people we haven't met but that's CLP's genius, he somehow makes us feel as if we know him really well and we're all part of his world.
Hope baby dj has the energy of his father and he/she will be out in a flash.
x

Blimey! it'd be chaos! and all those loo breaks!!

Sorry, that looked like it was typed by my 5 year old.

Who is the guy standing in for Jeremy Vine? I think that he is awful.

That's bettter!

Debbie - isn't it Mathew Bannister?

and on the subject of who is who?.......

Jeremy Vine's brother ? comedian?

Quack

Tim Vine

meeeow!

Morning/Afternoon everyone,

Chilly start to the morning. Temps around 5 degrees fahrenheit. I was rudely awoken this morning at 5AM (that's still the middle of the night for me) by a snow plough dropping its plough on the road. The strange thing is that we only had a dusting of snow at best last night....... So I'm not a happy camper....... Will catch up on the blog postings in a bit. Good thing is that I have footie tonight. It's play-offs....... so a big night for our little team. Come on you Lions!!!!!!

Good luck Tash and CLP.

I hope you have your hands insured as my recollection of the arrival of my first born was that she who must be obeyed crushed the hell out of them during the process.

I am sure I deserved it! It was worth every broken bone ;-)

Happy birthday DD and Maxine by the way.

Thunderclap

Ah, La Dissing...HB2U.

If I'd known you were coming I'd have baked a cake...

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Sooooooo exciting!! Best of luck today Chris and Tash, I'll be praying for a safe and easy delivery :) Can't wait to find out if it is a boy and girl :) So exciting!!

I used to know all the words to "Wanderin' Star" when I was a wee girlie... used to sing it to my Daddy....
