We're multitasking by crocheting and blood testing our way through pregnancy. We are waiting for our clutch of Christmas babies to hatch while our newbies are gearing up for scans, it's JS Grads 42!

[Hobbit19]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 41st grads thread... celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The 41sr grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 55th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread HERE
for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates!

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

HERE is the stats list, please update your own spot with any updates. (Except it's not because I don't know how to link to the stats sheet!)

'Wank hat' and his 'mango' are definite new viroid dictionary items Second! I also now know what the male belly button evolved to do!

Feathered I too want unicorns and glitter –not this real life boring shit with absurd stuff chucked in, like having ginorma boobs but one noticeably larger than the other which caused some social anxiety for me.

Also checked boobs upon waking for signs of one being massive, they are not ginormaboobs yet and are still of equal size. Phewee!

Just downloaded Ovia –ha ha! Loving that you can nickname your bean and that I am pregnant with a Bean Child the size of a 'southern pecan'. Whatever one of those is.

Ovia is completely beserk. I love the 'french patisserie' category too! Really doesn't make any sizing sense at all, but picturing mini feather as a ridiculous sort of cream puff really amuses me.

My boobs have now outgrown their 1950s-style-pyramid-boob-massive-M&S-non-wired-super-bra. I'm still managing to catch them and pour them in, but I need to go up a size.

And they're just on the cusp of turning from GODDESS NORKS to national geographic swingy massive nipped udders.

They have developed minds of their own. There is no stopping them.

I am incubating a butternut squash this week. Very exciting. I am creeping ever closer to 30 weeks, which sounds very scarily high.

JC, Pud, Molly bring on the babies!

My strapless bra arrived from Amazon this morning. Now to see if Curvy Kate have managed to defy physics by making a 32HH strapless that actually works... (I didn't realise how wide the neckline was on my maternity party dress until it arrived... it's a proper Bardot neckline)

Work Christmas party this weekend. Dry shite time while my husband goes in with a big happy DRINK ALL THE WINE head on him.

I'm 32 weeks today and incubating a head of lettuce apparently.

jelly good for you taking the day off. I slept between 1am and 6am last night (on and off) and then was knackered so went back to sleep and I then slept from about 9 to 12!! I guess that adds up to 8 hours but I've now slept half the day away. I guess I might as well sleep while I have the freedom to. Third tri is tiring.

#poowatch2015 has required a large amount of effort thus far and yielded only small reward.

I agree Pretzel, yesterday I just kept falling back to sleep!

Laughing my head of at the description of your boobs Feathered!

Made it to 8 cm on the epi-no! Starting to get there now

For those thinking of mat leave I'd finish as soon as you can. I finished at 34+5 and was absolutely shattered by that point. It's been so nice to rest these last few weeks.

for 8cm JC! I am just about there too, I can't believe the difference from when I started. Have put a note about it on my birth plan.

What week does second tri become third tri?

I also v much enjoy your description of your bosom Feathered I can relate! Mine are deffo NatGeo boobs these days.

Good luck with the bra Tri - I have been wondering which pregnant people have been buying the Bardot neckline tops and dresses...they seem like a fear of engineering too far for me!

I've also just realised that it's been a week since my GTT and I haven't heard from anyone

I think 28 weeks Thursday

I would love to bring on the baby. Pelvis on fire, peeing all the time, exhausted. Am very very done but still have three weeks to go! Loving the idea of my mum bringing Christmas dinner though as she'll now be my birth partner she might be a bit busy to cook!

Definitely mat leave around 35 weeks. I don't get it this time but for sure that was when I was ready to go with DS. You need that time before the birth to rest and relax, don't get it second time around with a toddler and I miss it greatly!

Ex starting to get shitty about access. I'm letting him come over Christmas Day ffs. He's not happy because Sunday would suit him better this week but I've got visitors and plans. We've no formal arrangement yet and fully accept we will need one but bloody hell it hasn't been three weeks yet and I've really tried hard to let him see his son! His car is about to die so it's not safe for DS to be in it, he lives in a shitty room in a shared house with 15 other strangers so can't have DS there and he can't come here because my parents don't want to see him. So I'm trying very hard to facilitate him seeing DS in rather restricted circumstances which will only be made harder with the addition of a newborn that can't really be away from me for a while! In the future I have no doubt we can do alternative weekends, he can come over in the week after school once I'm in my own place, share the load in the holidays etc but right now it is very very limited and none of it is my fault he keeps saying that he has no intention of being a part time father but...well...he sort of will really won't he? Because he fucked off! He can't expect the same level of contact he had before if he has chosen not to live with us! I'm absolutely not going to use children as a weapon but I wish he'd see the reality of the situation or stop trying to blame me for it! Arrrrrgh! So fed up with crying over this!

oh god molly what a knob! (sorry!)

Molly he is a twat of the highest order. You are absolutely right. He made his choice. Too fucking bad if, now that he realises the consequences, he doesn't like it. Tell him to "FOTTFSOFATFOSM" as we say.

(Fuck off to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more.)

Lost my post! Agh fucking mumsnet mobile site.

It basically said I'm really sorry molly that your H is such a selfish arse and that he's stressing you out during this time.

And sympathising over #poowatch2015.

Molly I'm glad you have us to rant to, but have to said all this to him too?

You literally owe him nothing. You have bigger and more important things to consider currently than his access. All of this is a consequence of his own action - like you said it's not your fault. DO NOT take it upon your shoulders to keep the peace.

Trouble is if I tell him to fuck off he could leave me incredibly vulnerable financially. Not to mention that he does have a right to see his children, no matter how he left. Just quite stunned he could become so demanding and unreasonable over one day so quickly. I'm just reeling that the one person I felt totally safe with turned out not to be safe at all. I really really want a civil future for our children and he seems to be out for a fight straight away. Not sure who he thinks I am but he's treating me like I've done terrible things and I haven't

Yes Thursday I have but he seems to have clicked into 'all ex wives are bitches' mode. I wonder if he's been speaking to his father...

I'm so sorry he's putting you through this molly I really am.
i so wish there was something I could do to help

molly have you got advice from CAB or similar on where you stand financially and in terms of access etc? If he's out for a fight you need to look after your own. X

CAB were useless. Basically we need to sort our own finances and access or pay hefty fees to do it through the courts. And I really don't want to go through the courts. I'm trying very hard to let him see DS but he really doesn't seem to understand that at the moment we are limited by where he's living and his crappy car and how old the kids are going to be! I'm going to look into the mediation service if need be but if he could just bloody wait until I've had his baby we'll all have a clearer idea of how things are going to work!

God, what an idiot, sorry you've got to deal with this Molly. Actually - NO - you don't have to deal with this right now. I just want to repeat what Thursday said. Your priorities right now are resting, looking after DS 1, resting, preparing for DC2 and resting.

A break through on #poohwatch. May I pass along the loo roll of luck to all who need it!

graciously hands out sheets of toilet paper to Honey and Pretz

Eugh. If he wants a fight then he needs to sort out a formal arrangement for child support and contact! You've got better things to do, he can deal with that side. Surely financially as you are married and have children you are the one most likely to benefit? I obvs don't know the ins and out of your financial past though. If you can't tell him to fuck off, at least tell him to fuck himself? Or a simple "you need to fit around us, we can't fit around you. It's hardly my fault that you can't have them at your home and you aren't welcome here."
