Stupid Hormones

So far today Ive had a serious craving for wall paper, Ive had to have words with myself because there is a tiny loose bit in the bedroom and I just know it would taste good if I ate it and then to cap it off ive just had a fifteen minute cry because Im not married to my OH (marriage is something ive never been interested in) and my baby wont have my surname when its born!!!

I think I just need to know that at least a few more people are suffering with hormone induced Sunday madness before I crack up Blush

Im off to find my sweetie stash before I really do eat that wallpaper......

STEP AWAY FROM THE WALLPAPER.....ignore it....channel it in to grapes, or maybe prorridge/allbran (seems awfully like slighty liquid wallpaper to me)... Pica should never be given in to....
..re: name, you could give baby your name...nothing stopping you. Or you could double-barrel it?

Hehehe. Porridge it is then!
There's nothing 'wrong' with having Pica...just ignore it...pica has the tendancy to be accepted as a quirky thing, but can lead to mums lacking in nutrients as they're filling their tummy with the pica desire...at least porridge is healthier than wallpaper!
I hate being a hormonal wreck. Luckily it's not happening too often to me (you should have seem me dropping off my boy at the vets for a dental Monday, tears and snot everywhere). My only worry is that it might not go away totally!

Mmm, wallpaper. Yum. You could have a May baby thread party and just point us at the wall.

I cried over not being married too, specifically not being proposed to because I was pregnant. This is despite never having wanted to be married (not since I was old enough to form a proper view on it), having discussed this several times with my partner, and being the kind of person who would think it adorably old-fashioned but frankly a bit patronising to be proposed to to Save Me From Being An Unmarried Mother. But boy did I howl.

Ive got my pair fighting over a sock on the bed, they dont half cheer me up even if the dane does keep trying to sit on my tummy :) wouldnt it be awful of the hormonal side stayed as laid back as my OH half is I know he will be thankful for this stage to dissapear

The ridiculous thing is that even if he did propose I don't think I would be sobbing out an ecstatic and grateful "yes" in any case. So I have no idea why I felt upset at the lack of offer.
