January's new May thread

[MrsFooCough]

All of us May mummies are BACK like the Terminator only less deadly (unless preggo rage strikes and we're within waddling distance of sharp things)

Have a , some , and TELL US EVERYTHING ~listening intently~

And just to be soppy, because I'm pregnant probably, but I'm so proud of the kid he's grown into. I really don't think I deserve the credit for him being such a kind, clever, sweet and funny child. He's just amazing. I can't wait to see him become a big brother.
Right, better go before I cry.

I go by 26 weeks is 6 months seen as there are 52 weeks in a year. If you go by the 4 week rule there would be 13 months in a year.

OH's uncle has passed away.

His sister is coming up to the house to make sure OH is alright... I want to disappear but I'm not sure where to or if I should or not... it's an hour and a half's drive away.

Big hugs moomin, so sorry I don't think you should disappear - it's your home. Sure, give them a bit of space to chat on their own, but you can do that by going to make the tea etc. Hope it goes ok.

Aw, dobe, that's lovely! Happy birthday to your ds.

the only rooms we have are kitchen and bedroom and the bedroom's in no fit state to have guests so even when I'm making the tea I'll be there.

OH has been asked to be a pallbearer if his dad doesn't want to do it.

He's told me that if the funeral clashes with me and my mum going to London next weekend, I should go to London because of how much it's cost and it's our last girly weekend. But my mum said to go to the funeral. I just want to slow down and wait until more is announced before any plans are made that way

I've never seen him like this before.

Stay Moomin. Be there for your oh now, greet her and say you're sorry for their loss and then if it feels appropriate melt into the background slightly so she can talk to her brother, but remain available. That's what I'd do anyway

Very sorry for his loss, it's always sad to lose a family member xxx

Dobe, sounds lovely hope he has a lovely birthday!

Thanks for new thread mrsfoo!

Oh moomin my thoughts are with you and your family

Ooh shiny thread and it's finally the weekend whoop! DHs bday so curry and big lebowski and NO MOVING FROM THE SOFA. Hope everyone else has nice weekends!

Hi everyone

I haven't posted for a week or so but I've read up on everyone's news!

moomin so sorry for your loss. Hope your OH is ok. The others are right, just be there for him and support him. And we'll support you, just come and have a rant on here if you need to!

We were away in Rome last weekend for our last break ever just the two of us. It was gorgeous, but I think it's taken me all week to recover, I've been so tired! Think I'm finally facing the fact I need to slow down a bit and can't do everything at my usual 100 miles an hour! I feel generally pretty good though aside from the tiredness - DH would say I'm v grumpy and hormonal though and he'd probably be right!

Baby is very wriggly which is nice - has woken me up in the night a couple if times - better get used to that!

Ohhhh new thread

Moomin so sorry screen didn't refresh didn't see your news. Hope you're doing as well as can be expected so sorry for your oh

My sister is selling a cotbed for 45 quid.... Not sure? Is second hand cot ok?

Thank you for the new thread mrsfoo

I know what you all mean about the months/weeks debacle, I'm 23+5 and have been saying I'm 5 and a half months. .. close enough!

Cannot wait for a lay in tomorrow!!

So sorry moomin :( what a situation! My thoughts are with you and oh x

Thistle - the corned itself will be fine ( depending on age / if they used lead paint etc) but you'll probs need a new mattress

Yeh I would buy a new mattress anyway

This might be a really stupid question but... Bought some actimel drinks today after midwife said they could help with thrush (tmi sorry!) just noticed they have added vitamin d. If I'm already taking recommended dose of vitamin d in my pregnancy supplements can I r overdose on vitamin d by drinking the actimel too?! Prob really stupid sorry

irish - I think that will be fine. I can't imagine there would be all that much vit D in it and I don't think vit D is one that builds up so your body will just get rid of what it doesn't need.

so sorry to hear your sad news moomin, you and your oh will be in my thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear your news Moomin, I hope you can both get some sleep tonight, tomorrow will be harder if he's exhausted.

Thank you for the new thread MrsFoo!

Ohh moomin I'm sorry. The next few months will be tough. But everyone's right, it's your home too. Hope it was ok when she came round.

On a lighter note perhaps (although definitely a TMI one) CHRIST ALMIGHTY THIS ONE'S A KICKER. Making me have diarrhoea! Waaaaaaaay TMI there I know, but bloody hell ~clutches guts~ probably the can of full fat Coke I had earlier...

Signing in. Thanks for the new thread MrsFoo!

Went to see Evita last night, was lovely to get out with friends.

This weekend will be spent decorating dd2s birthday cake and having people round on Sunday. Her birthday is Monday but it'll be too much rush on a school day :)
I know how you feel dobe! My eldest was 9 last month and it's scarily close to a decade lol. I'm struggling to believe I've had my tiny girl for 2 years as well.

So sorry to hear that Moomin. I'd do what Moobaloo says in regards to your visitor.

Oh I changed my name again. Used to be the various Fleas.

My preg book says the baby lenght is 30cm. A ruler! I can't get my head around having such a big baby in my belly, despite the belly sticking out a mile already. (24 weeks)

Hope your DS has a fun birthday Dobe

I don't think I've felt the baby move since this morning. I can't even remember if I felt him move this morning I've been busy today so maybe he's moved and I've not noticed, but now I'm lying down trying to feel him. Trying not to freak out.

Don't freak out dobe, have you had something sweet/caffeinated to drink? DSis always swore by orange juice, but any juice or fizzy drink should prompt LittleDobe to wriggle within half an hour or so.

We wait ages to start feeling movement and then get freaked out if it's not constant - bloody impossible!!
TinyTit definitely has quiet days, please try not to worry. Xx
