Oh Kirrin did you kick him in the nads?!
Actually come to think of it, it might not be physically possible to kick someone in the nads when we are this pregnant... maybe that is why the DPs/DHs are being like this.... they know there is no physical threat!!

ComradeJing · 08/11/2012 22:46

Morning all,

Really hoping things are ramping up here. DH lands at 3:45 so that's fine. Sore bump, sore back and stronger "squeezing" BH. No actual pain though. SIL has taken dd for a walk and I'm having a bath. Bliss.

TheDetective · 08/11/2012 22:46

Twatty men... grrrrr! The bastards. MrsWee, I think you need to put breast milk on his cereal or something. I'm very vengeful at the moment! I'd be furious - mind you DP forgot to take DS to get me a card/present for my birthday too. We'll not go there shall we!

DP bought me a hot chocolate as a peace offering before. I am not sure if I forgive him for being a PMT twat all day. I asked him why, he said he'd just had a bad day. A BAD DAY?!!! A BAD DAY?! How the feck has he had a bad day...

Anyway. I'm going to bed, and hoping that tomorrow night i'll be having a baby. Wishful frickin' thinking I reckon.

Night ladies!

MissMummy1 · 08/11/2012 22:46

Oh ffs. Just phoned dh to say goodnight (he's out on the boat doing night safety cover) and the f-ing muppet has left his phone at home. Now way to get in touch now if the need arises. Would have thought he'd learned after the lectures from me/his parents/my parents he got when he returned from his sailing trip a few weeks ago. But no.

If he can be contacted when I actually do go into labour it will be a bloody miracle. Angry

TheDetective · 08/11/2012 22:47

There is always an object which could serve that purpose instead mrswee!

mrswee · 08/11/2012 22:48

missmummy I'm sorry I just laughed outloud when I saw that your DH bought you tires for your birthday! I really am being ungreatful!

I think there might be a surprise babyshower planned for me this weekend... either tomorrow night or some other time. There's some rumblings going on and none of my friends have really been in touch all week to ask what I'm doing.. one even practically ranway from me in boots today after asking what I was doing for my birthday and then getting all fluffed up over what she was saying. I might be totally wrong but I hinted a lot that I wanted to to do something like that for my birthday. haha if I am wrong and there is no surprise then I WILL be VERY disapointed! Grin

TheDetective · 08/11/2012 22:49

No, in my experience, they don't learn MM Hmm

There are attempts, but then relapse quickly. I assume it is selfishness, because surely they would manage life if on their own? Sick of reminding/nagging/delegating. Remember your own shit FFS!

mrswee · 08/11/2012 22:52

cross post missmummy I hope you don't go into labour tonight!! legs crossed now!

MissMummy1 · 08/11/2012 22:52

He's also taken my maternity notes to work in the car. The one bloody thing I asked him to do before he left was take them out and leave them on the kitchen table - just in case I needed them. Absolute twat.

(yes I am in an exceptionally stroppy, hormonal strop tonight!)

mrswee · 08/11/2012 22:55

I know what you mean. I was just thinking earlier today that I wish I had a personal assistant like me! how much easier would life be if you had a useful person to remind you what to do every day!! that's a servoce I wuld happily pay for if I had the money!

TheDetective · 08/11/2012 22:58

Oh yes! And it isn't just my own time, and DP's I have to organise, it is DS as well! I thank god for maternity leave now, as it is far less stressful now I am not working FT. They can feck off if they think I'm doing it all when I go back to work Hmm.

DS managed to forget his own packed lunch this morning. Even though it was by the front door that he walked out of... punishment? He paid for his own school dinner. And he has to eat todays packed lunch tomorrow, waste not want not. Hope he will organise himself better tomorrow!!

TheDetective · 08/11/2012 23:01

I'm determined not to palm some useless bloke off on some poor suspecting woman one day!

He knows how to use the washing machine, sort a load of washing and iron already. He is responsible for keeping his room clean and tidy, bed made, curtains open etc. He can polish and hoover. There will be no excuses.

Although he does try to make them. I hope his Dad doesn't put a shit influence on to him through his teen years more than likely. Grrr.

Peaky1 · 08/11/2012 23:07

I've been at hospital all day with what I thought was just a scan and appointment but landed myself an earlier induction thanks to a high BP. It's not too high though. 24h pessary has just gone in in the last 20 mins and I'm back on the monitor for a bit.

Here's to the start of a long few days! Now I'm off to catch up on the days thread messages...

StuntNun · 08/11/2012 23:14

Exciting stuff Peaky, were you all ready or is it a bit soon? I hope things kick off quickly for you and you aren't hanging around bored in hospital.

Happy Birthday georgee and mrswee
Grin

Congratulations Sophia

So sorry to hear about your friends Dh and Miss I have a friend who is very unlikely to be able to have her own children at all, the best advice I can give is to be honest with them and let them know you will always be there if/when they want but equally you understand that they might find it difficult and that you also understand that this might not be what they need.

No sweep for me, which I am pleased and miffed about on equal measure, got a lovely lunch planned with a dear friend and dh is taking me out for dinner. Of course all plans are subject to change should a baby decide to share my birthday. I previously didn't want to share my birthday, but baby would be the best 30th birthday present ever!

I'm booked in for induction on Wednesday morning, should this baby decide not to make an appearance in the meantime.

My dh has turned into what he believes a domestic god Wink although I disagree somewhat, he has decided that I have not to lift a finger at all where housework is concerned. He told me I should have waited until he was home before washing the towels and bedding today, I might struggle a little with some things, but I am more than able to put some washing in the machine and then put it in the tumble drier. I have him well trained, when we first bought our house he didn't have a clue how to do anything at all. He is the youngest of 3 and the only boy. His mum used to make his bed every morning, clean his bedroom and make him a packed lunch to take to work when she went on holiday she would make sandwiches and freeze them so he had lovely soggy sandwiches for 2 weeks I was completely astounded she did so much.

Peaky1 · 09/11/2012 00:52

I was booked in for Saturday anyway because his growth had dropped off a bit. Had stuff ready in boot of car so it's all good. Now lets hope he's a good lad and exits 'swiftly and comfortably' like the hypnobirthing stuff tells me, lol!

Iheartpasties · 09/11/2012 01:27

misslaughalot I was told not to get an ear thermometer for a new born because their ear is too small for an accurate reading! I have one that goes under the armpit but it is my nemesis as I cannot seem to work it correctly. Some look so expensive its really hard to know which one is the best! Also I was advised to take the temp of the baby a few times when it?s ?normal? so you have a good idea if it is raised. But I swear me and my dh have nearly been crying trying to use our one! Oh dear! Just cannot seem to get it right. I?m a bit like detective and just press my lips to dd forehead and I know if its too hot!? Please don?t tell my HV that though!! :)

Dishwasher has been collected and is to be taken away to be repaired! Horay!

shelly I wee?d a bit on the sofa earlier. I was sat waiting for the dishwasher repair man and it just came out, and some on the floor as I dashed to the loo! I had to change my clothes and wipe down the sofa! I hoped it was my waters ? but no it was wee! So glad the repair man didn?t arrive until it was all cleared up!?

I too am hoping for a Friday evening (tonight) baby or weekend baby, so much more convenient for us!!!

?There are going to be explosions of the not good variety soon? - detective, when I read that I thought about poo explosions, oh dear!

Food that I am looking forward to ? poached eggs, oysters. Booze I?m looking forward to ? Champers!!! (Christmas treat). We have two off licences in walking distance! I hope some champers comes on offer!!

Iheartpasties · 09/11/2012 01:33

Good luck to you peaky

And how's it going comradejing?

Iheartpasties · 09/11/2012 01:46
