[broodylicious]

Hope this works....

Looks lovely broody

Looks great!

Broody totally gorgeous!

Super broody and nice to hear about everyone's nursery/room plans.

Pregnancy emotions really kicking in this last week or so. Struggling to cope emotionally with work and feeling like I must be quite hard to work with at the moment - needy, pushy, overly talkative, taking about babies all the time and generally stressing my colleagues by being too demanding. Also I decided today to defer my current study module until next year and I realise now that was an unexpectedly emotional decision, which didn't help. Talked everything through with DH and we agreed I've slipped into taking the wrong approach at work so now I feel like a bit of a failure as well! I think I'm going to phone a friend tomorrow!

Starting antenatal classes next week though so hoping that will help.

Feeling a bit better after some sleep

fatty I think helpful visitors are the way forward Think we'll invite some, good idea

Small I doubt you're the only emotional one on here. I cried after my pregnancy yoga class this week because no-one is very chatty and I was feeling rebuffed. I wouldn't normal expect to be great mates with anyone attending a normal exercise class but I convinced myself that everyone must think I'm a horrible person.

Please don't feel like a failure. We all make certain decisions at certain times due to how we are feeling at that very moment. Rarely is a decision irreversible. Virtual hugs and hope that you have a lovely friend on the end of that phone call.

I am very emotional as well. I cried yesterday because of something silly. I don't even remember what it was about!

I am getting really snappy, biting poor DH's head off for anything and everything. He must be loving it!

I'm a hormonal ball of snappiness and tears sometimes, the silliest things set me off, like watching frozen this morning. Floods of tears at the do you want to build a snowman song might go for a walk today it's quite nice outside again

Another emotional, hormonal wreck here. I very rarely shout but my dd has been getting an earful the last few days She is, however, making up for not doing the whole terrible 2s thing and is a fully fledged threenager so knows exactly how to push my buttons these days.

On the subject of dd - she's picked up a few new phrases of late. I said to her this morning "Poppy, what are you doing?" And she replied "Nothing, mummy. Simple as that." Then when she was trying to get her pram out of the door and it wouldn't fit she said "arrrrgh it's stuck, flippin eck! Flippin thing!" ????

Anyone else got dc who say new funny things at the mo?

Im also feeling snappy, but it is mostly related to the building work.
Also though potty training is getting to me a bit as DD work say she needs to go, so we cant move forward. This week ive put her on toilet she's tried to go, then goes in nappy/pull up almost straight away.

loopy, I cannot hear the snowman song either. Sets me off big time!

naty, our potty/toilet learning isn't going great guns either. She just doesn't want to sit on either but will gladly tell me "done a wee wee now!" Too late to tell me afterwards and when it was in her pull up or nappy! My plan is to just go cold turkey, no pull ups or nappies when we are at home. It goes slightly against my parenting ethos of not ever shaming a child (ie she will be upset and/or ashamed when she's wet her trousers or whatever ) but I know she's totally ready and she can do it; just like her mummy, she wants to opt for the easiest route with no aggro involved and so refuses to use potty or loo.

I really am a fatty cow. I just ate a Lindt chocolate bunny...

That looks lovely broody
Good to hear some sleep helped small :)

My body is aching from the wedding last night... 5 hours in a banqueting hall with loud music! But least the big "secret" is out now :) has everyone told their family and friends that they're expecting?

Also My emotions are all over the place too...I cried yesterday as DH and DBIL bought their sister(older adult sister) a birthday present but came home with nothing for me or the twins.... Pregnancy has turned me into an entitled spoilt brat I guess I was embarrassed telling DH why I was crying luckily he found the funny side when I sobbed 'but I like nice things, I like everything'

Dd wasnt bothered by the wetting etc when we tried going to just pants. She is quite cheeky and just thinks its funny

Mmm Lindt fatty
I have got an addiction for creme eggs... They've been reduced at our tescos...this box of eggs is next to my bed

Hello Ladies - hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather though it's breezy and cold .

Gifts have started arriving for my treasure, DP's mum got us a baby book, cute. My bestie just got us a snuzpod. Feeling excited I bought a size 16 dress from oasis because I love it so much, will only probably get 2/3 wears out of it before it doesn't fit anymore and will be too big post partum. Oh well... At least I will feel amazing even if it is just one day. Now having lunch before I have a quick browse in H&M for kids.

What's everyone up to?

I am mostly painitng the nursery today! How domestic... My bil tried to do the aw your nesting thing on me. I was like, um no have you seen the state of the walls in there? Beleive me I would not be painting cream walls cream again if they weren't more a dirty grey colour from being left un decorated for 10 years! I would LOVE to just put the wall stickers up and be done!

Thanks for all your nice messages reminding me I'm not alone! Really appreciated.

DH has so far escaped too much in the way of irrational preggo emotions! But I have a cry at the radio most mornings. I don't mind that - the stuff at work feels embarrassing because it's so public and I pride myself on being professional. I'm sure it's not really as terrible objectively as it feels subjectively. The feelings are the worst. Zampa you are right that it's not anything that can't be undone, if I can remain calm and sensible next week! The whole thing has made me feel a bit sad for the first time this pregnancy - and I really need to fend off any mental health issues!

ok then... one of my maternity tops doesn't fit me anymore. I only wore it 4 days ago and now it is too small I am huge
I caught a glimpse of myself in sainsbos window and I look about to give birth. people are even commenting not long now etc, and are shocked when I say well no, only 14 weeks left!
an old lady was convinced I was lying to her

fattym I keep getting the 'not long now' comments too
Just got home after a nice seafront walk and pub lunch with PIL and ds dh is now in from work too so we're going to watch some films with ds and snuggle up

I am using one of my mum's dresses as a top

I have been to the park with the terrible two today. bliss
we are also having a birthday party for DSs teddy don't know why I agreed but it makes him happy

I think I may be hitting some scary hormones. My dc's are supposed to be off to their dads tonite but as he is truly useless once again they won't be going until I'm the morning. I know their nana would have them until he decides to turn up but I'm feeling very clingy to them. I don't want them to go!
They are my babies I want them with me coz I actually care. I really feel like he doesn't care but can't stop seeing them coz then he'll look bad to public.

Anyway maybe it's just hormones wanting them with me as much as possible?

Hi all! Hope you're all ok? Hormonal and snappy is normal, you're pregnant

My boobs started leaking today and it went through 3 layers and I had wet patches
