Thought I would start the thread.
HC Sorry that our MIL is like that. I guess theres not much you can do apart from telling DH to stick up fo you. My Mil is ok but has her odd ways. She was against me bfing and was determined with DD that she would be dressed in pink frilly dresses. Soon put a stop to all that and I just used to ignore her comments.
The kicks argetting a lot stronger now. They are still fairly low down and sometimes in my bladder.
Im glad im not the only one breaking wind like a trooper. Im almost afraid to bend over in work 
Im hoping to go back to work 3 1/2 possibly 4 days a week. Im going to put DD in nursery 2/3 mornings but mil will have both the rest of the time. Id love to do less but when I work out how much id lose its shocking and weve just extended our morgage for the extension. The other option ive got is to work in the call centre and do shifts but I dont fancy the weekend shifts. Im too frightened to tell my mnagaer yet.

Due in July - Expanding by the day
kbaby · 21/03/2006 20:35
I'm also due in July (13th). I already have twin daughters aged 23 months so it's going to be quite hectic for me! 
.
Luckily I don't have to work so am really lucky but to be honest I sometimes think that to be able to go to work would be easier than dealing with terrible two's!
I have found out that this time we are having a boy which is secretly what I was hoping for!
Morning
HC sympathies with your MIL, I usually get on with mine, but struggling with them at the moment as everytime I mention something, e.g. DS up several times in night, all I get is SIL's twins sleep through till 6:30 
. Get the feeling I am being compared. Now we are trying to sort out working days for after the baby is born as we can't afford me to stop altogether yet but I just get something agreed at work and then she changes her mind again!!! At the moment we are looking at 4 days 8:00 till 2:00 to get 24 hour week not inc. 2 hours round trip travelling. We kept telling them to work any less I would be paying everything back to the tax man and petrol station.
Sorry crip over now.
Welcome CatherinesKelly congrats on the boy. I'm sure your girls will help you, my DS is very good at fetching nappies and wipes for my twin nieces when they need something.
Hope everyone else is fine.
God HC, ure PIL sound like a RIGHT PITA! I would lose it if I got the door slammed on me if i was trying to discipline my own daughter. My dad might do it, it has to be said cos he can be a difficult stubborn creature, but my MIL would NEVER do that (don't have a FIL). They should respect your wishes, why does it not even occur to them that you have your reasons for doing what you do?! And as for the DVD, well my first thought was is it worth the effort stopping a 2.5 year old watching a film if it's the one she wants to watch regardless of the time of year, but if that is what you have explained to her your PIl should follow through. HOW ANNOYING that they don't. Grrrr. Drive me mad that would.
having a very skivy week at home this week, no meetings so watched a film (not a Christmas one 
) yesterday afternoon, and am generally not exerting myself too much. DS fell and banged his nose this morning and got a nose bleed, first blood! He is now truly a man 
and didn't even cry my brave soldier. Got a pedicure this afternoon and might go for a swim, I tell you if i wasn't pregnant I'd be fired if they ever found out. i am not doing alot for the credibility of women in the work place it has to be said but do i care? FACE! BOTHERED!!!
Welcome to all newbies, your fall sounds scary MadameZena, take it easy!! Good luck with all scans etc.
Love Blossom.

HI Everyone,
Don't get me started on MIL's.. Really, don't. Mine is a really nice woman, as is FIL (only he's not a woman, obviously), but they just drive me barmy. Fussing over this, clucking over that, taking over the whole show, and then commenting on every little thing. I'm so glad they live four hours away. Yapping on and on and on about someone I've never heard of and am never likely to meet.
Oh and cleaning my house when I'm not there.
Stop now before I really get going. So Pink, Puddytat, Jersey, and HC, and anyone else out there, [Group Hug] 
Welcome Catherineskelly , due the same day as me too!! Lucky 13 this year!!
Congrats on your scan Mummyzena, hope you're ok after your fall. And hope yours went ok Entropy? (your scan that is, not your fall, which I hope you didn't have...)
Blossom, I'm like you at work, possibly worse. I just sit here emailing and MNing and video phoning DH and Ds all day... And I expect them to give me a new contract??? I do a little bit now and again, but cos I sit for so long I get dizzy when I get up!! Sad really, but hey, still get paid!!
Have a good evening everyone
Love reading all your stories - i never have that much to say! [blush}
As for lovely spring-like weather..it's only bl@@dy snowing again
Deblaca I'm with you on the whole feeling great thing, I love being pregnant! Pity this'll be the last - getting too old for it all (37). Should have started much earlier and as it was I really had to persuade DH to start a family after 6.5 years of marriage (12 years together). Nothing like rushing things!! Mind you we're both really happy with the way things are going!
Toilet training is going very well! Had our first big outing today (half day)without nappy and no accidents. Mind you I was prepared with two changes of clothes! Am really surprised with how pain free its been and how he has taken so well to it. I've even been able to use my time where I've been stuck inside (close to potty) to sort things out in the house. Is it too early to start the whole nesting thing?
Don't even start me on the PILs (or even Ps) at the moment. (Currently living with PILs - long story, not ideal but unfortunately has to be done at the moment.)
Love hearing everyones scan news. Good luck to everyone having them over the next few days and try not to stress too much.
