July 2016 Babies

[LaytexSales]

I don't think there is a thread for the July moms yet!
I'm due on July 2nd, just 4.5wks at the mo, but feel like I've known for ages as got a positive 5 days early on an early response! No real symptoms so far just a bit of cramping and some instant extra weight.
This is dc3 for us. Haven't made any appointments yet. Looking forward to the next 8 months!

Ha ha xx please tell me our brains return to normal afterwards

Oh wow beaut, how did you find that age gap?

I have got hardly any symptoms and they come and go throughout the day, tender boobs in the morning but ok in the evening...I'm a nervous wreck to be honest!

Thanks for the welcome Ellie!

Preg 15+ yrs later, 100 times worse. Didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 11 weeks with ds

Really! Wow! I guess that was pretty good in a way!

Small I haven't had any spots yet. I usually get them in pregnancy but my skin is looking surprisingly clear.

Roto my hair is really dry but with ds3 it was super oily. Dry shampoo became my best friend.

Gx91 I'm constantly freezing too. It's driving DH mad as he's always hot.

Hopes its a great age gap. The older boys were at school so it's like having an only child again and I got to enjoy lots of newborn snuggles. They all get on great and the older two are great at keeping the youngest entertained. However, we are all due in the summer holidays this time. I'm not sure how I'll get on with 4 at home for 7 weeks but I'm sure we will get into a routine.

6+3

I'm annoyed with my dh. His initial sympathy and insistence on helping has waned considerably. Last time I was pg mil guessed and totally ruined our announcement. We told them after my missed af but mil had been told by sil that we were trying and had spent the previous two months insisting that she knew I was pg even though i wasnt. The month we were, we went to tell them and she said 'I already know you are pg, your face has changed shape so just get on with telling me. DH blamed me because apparently I held my tummy too much (I did) and gave it away. This time, he wants to have the 'surprise!' moment that we didn't get last time. We aren't telling them until the 10 week mark and we've had our scan and told dd. So, there I am today, at mils, hiding my horrendous sickness the best I can, not touching my agonising boobs or my tummy and he turns to me and says 'what's wrong? you look like something's wrong' I shoot him 'the look' and he says 'what that look about? just tell me what is wrong?'. MIL chimes in asking what is wrong and I'm sat there not knowing what to say because if I say I feel like throwing up all over the fucking carpet and your son is a fucking moron she will know. He has seen how fucking ill I've been. I want to punch him. Im aware this could be hormones but he is still an idiot.

loki this is my comment in sympathy/support

the man was an idiot

(So very glad our parents lives MILES away and I'm sure he is lovely really but I think you wanted someone to agree with you so I am x)

You could say you might be a bit hungover??

I would just puke on the floor and walk out!

Now there's his surprise!! Why are our oh's a pain in the arse when they just need to worship us?? Mine is also a royal pain in the arse. His breathing annoys me sometimes

We need an angry birds thread....

Mine worshiped me the other day and to be honest that was also a bit annoying

Your mil also needs to respect the boundaries or are you just close in general??

Loki - don't despair, can totally understand your frustration!! Men can be so clueless sometimes, and act so thick! Shame on your motherinlaw though for spoiling it and being awkward. Typical!

I love it when I don't have to lift a finger.....this bum is going to spread if I'm not careful!

I actually was just sitting here thinking I'd quite like to not bother with work anymore (quite a shock as always been a career lady) but for the next seven months if I'm honest id just like to stay at home watch greys anatomy, eat posh biscuits with cheese and nest :D

What did you say in the end Loki

My oh has been trying. That's all I can say. He does things but not the way I would. The only thing I'm doing is cooking as he's hopeless. But mostly I cant eat it. He's in the middle of doing laundry, all clean clothes taken out of dryer and neatly folded on living room floor while he sits on laptop. I'm ready to chuck them out the patio doors into garden and make him do it over again if he doesn't shift them!

Oh, Loki :( That does sound very annoying and thoughtless of him. How frustrating. Do you think your MIL guessed?

DH and I decided we were going to tell his parents this weekend, because we spend a lot of time round theirs and frankly if I kept refusing booze till Christmas they were going to work it out for themselves!

Anyway, we told them last night and they were very pleased. FIL had actually already worked it out from something obvious DH had said the night before. And I've got to say it's a lot easier to flop around looking peaky when people know the reason why!

Cough is really getting me down now, though. It's been more than 5 weeks, and my ribs are now quite sore and tender from all the coughing. Going back to the GP's tomorrow to see what they think.

7+1

Lol seems like the DH and OH are getting in the way at the moment lol BEWARE ! Lol mine goes bk to work away tomorrow so just me and DD again X
I just had the best nap on the couch and feel a million bucks X
Got a good giggle at the ditziness of some of u haha I constantly go into the kitchen and forget y I am there , have to retrace my steps a few times to get there it's really annoying lol I know it only gets worse X
Used to b really good at remembering now I'm writing everything on the calendar and setting alarms on my phone for important things I have to do
Well organised FX xx

Hugs bluebell, definitely get that checked out - hope you feel better

Dying to know what Loki said and am hoping there hasn't been a murder

Me to Gx thank god for modern technology... Alarm function and notes are so helpful!

I forgot (lol) the other thing I did was leave DP upstairs to have a shower whilst I came downstairs to do makeup and take tablets plan being we would then go for a nice lunch - he came downstairs to find me eating crumpets... completely forgot

I'm with you on wanting to be a lady of leisure Ellie. I really can't be arsed anymore. It's the commute that kills me. I sometimes arrive at work and wonder how I got there without crashing the car.

How do you pm people?

Gosh I can't keep up!

I've told my mum who was really pleased. Not looking forward to telling the PIL though. They're constantly pestering about me going back to work after my DD so no doubt they'll disapprove of my decision to take over a year off!

Dizziness and ditziness a-go-go here.

Beautician - I agree, the age gap was fab. My boys dote on my daughter and love helping out. Bit nervous about having two under 2 tbh!

I rang the GP surgery about the midwife on Thursday and still haven't heard back from the midwife, though I'm not looking forward to the poking and prodding again so I won't complain!

5+0

I said I was fine to mil just tired because I've been working so hard. I called dh a fucking idiot in the car. He was all ' how was I supposed to know?' so I lost it. Having spent the last two days with my head down the toilet and constantly moaning about it was your clue!He has gotten into a strop and decided to show me just how unreasonable I am by putting all of the ironing away and making DD's lunch for tomorrow - all whilst sulking. That told me

And btw, I love how you all jump to my defence You are the best
