December 2014 Thread #7 - third trimester here we come, jingle babies all the way

[Chipandspuds]

Hooray into the third trimester!

Fuck. It's just dawned on me that I'm bloody depressed again.
Sorry if I've been weird today/this weekend. Urgh.

I don't think you've shown any depression weirdness Peace. Might be the reason for the new-pram blues though. Are you OK? I think maybe at this stage of pregnancy things are starting to hit home a bit, and I know I've struggled mentally a lot this week. Weathers changed too which never helps.

Have you escaped the dreaded GD?? xx

No phone call yet, eating jam on toast while I still can.

Have some for me... Jam on toast will be my first non-diabetic meal!

May I also suggest Nutella?

No because it's full of The Nuts Of Death...!

Co-op own brand chocolate spread however.... now there's a good idea!

I think I've got Morrisons' own on the go, although I call it Nutella, because I'm such a snob, clearly.

waves at newbies and fb stragglers

Hello ladies that want to join the Facebook group , please can you pm me when you're ready so I can open it up for you x

Oh and am also having both whooping cough and flu jab here, am a big believer in vaccination and as I've had both flu and the jab before I'm going to do my best to avoid a dose!

Morrisons do the chocolate orange one too.... Thats amazing!!!

Although if you join the facebook group, you have to promise to keep posting here too.... keep the thread alive! xx

I'll still be here with the tumbleweeds.

Cadbury's chocolate spread is the best!

Am still here! Doing more lurking than posting both here and fb as finding this pg so much harder than last time. Exhausted, emotional, enormous and still 2 months of work to go

baby has been kicking away though

Its morning, its raining, I dont want to leave the house. I want to NEST goddam it!

+1 for that suggestion BHLS. Although not raining.
28w scan yesterday - all well. Baby in boxer pose.
Also my first Consultant appointment. His introductory gambit was "I've been looking through your notes and I'm not quite sure why you're here". Phew :) It's just because of my age, young man.

Ha Taura! I keep seeing different consultants and they ask me if I know why I am under consultant care.... "because I'm old, mad and fat"...

Hadn't noticed any unusual behaviour Peace. Must bit the stage of pregnancy/weather/something.

I had yet another sobbing, wailing, snot ridden meltdown at DH last night. "what if I just don't like being a mum" was one of my main points. Sure there's the whole can I cope/will I be a good mum thing. But what if I'm an ok mum who just doesn't want to be a mum and ends up blaming child for my "ruined life"

I'm being ridiculous. ..someone slap me!

Would it be a terrible idea to try and get tickets for the Manics Holy Bible tour when I'll be weeks or days off giving birth?

Peace it sounds like a great idea to me. It may be your last chance to do something like that for a while and bet they'll be amazing!

Thanks for all the input about the flu jab - it hasn't helped me make up my mind but its great to know what other people are doing :)

I'm going to a gig at almost 37 weeks...

Okay, if there are seats and I actually get tickets (bitter memories of trying to get Beyoncé tickets for DAYS) I will go.

Also going to book my last bit of annual leave for October so I have stuff to look forward to. Combatting misery.

I had flu once, about 18 years ago. The experience was such that I have always taken the opportunity to get a free flu jab whenever it's been offered (we usually get them at work to try to avoid the whole call centre going off sick...)
