HAPPY BIRTHDAY SSK!
Brandy, sorry to hear you're a bit down, hope today is good and the appointment on Friday helps get some of your questions answered!

[HollyandMistletoeforever]

Happy birthday to you SSK! [and festive birthday grin]

Know what you mean about not feeling Christmassy. We have just had a very nice visit from MIL (what's the story with yours SSK?) but I am still getting over this virus/cold-from-hell thing and I am back at nightmare boring work and there is sooo much to do and I am sooo tired!

This is obviously the Monday morning whinge club!

[SparklySnowflakeKid]

She is a moody, sulking, interfering cow! She just does things which make me so mad - last christmas the boys made her a lovely card and she rang up on christmas day to complain that dh hadn't sent one himself! The boys made her a bowl and painted it with feet and hands and she put it in her loft. Lots of things that make me really really mad to the point I have told dh that when she says these things it is best just not to tell me because I feel like ringing her up and telling her to fuck off! This week she rang up dh and said that he hadn't called back his aunt and uncle - they rang me last week and thanked ME for the photo I sent them with their christmas card and we had a chat about christmas/baby etc - dh wasn't here - so why the fuck is she in a strop for him not ringing them back - makes me MMMMMAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDD I am on the verge of calling her back and saying that they rang me to thank me and lee calling back wasn't even mentioned! Am I hormonal or would it annoy you aswell. She does it alot though - in the summer it was the same with the boys birthday presents - we had made lovely thank you cards and just posted them - within days of the birthday and she rang to have a go at him that we hadn't said thank you.

Could easily rant on all day am so cross!

Hope your day gets better ssk - blimmin in-laws!

work has suddenly gone very quiet, which is nice, and so we are all chatting about christmas with is helping with the festive feelings here. the frost this morning helped too, but that was wiped out by the sight of speed camera van on the overpass on the (late) way to work.............bugger! 3 points for christmas for me I fear!

Happy b-day ssfk

Spoke to my M last night and told her the story of the DT with the wrong sex and she told me it happened to a friend of her's aswell, all in the same hospital, it is just a little bit worrying, i don't want to do any baby shopping incase they get it all wrong.

The x-factor song that won was off a holiday advert (I think it was disney)
I refused to watch as ben got voted off and he was far better than ray, who to me just seemed like a smarmy twat.

I have read all the other post's but I just can't seem to take anything in at the mo.

[SparklySnowflakeKid]

Thank you all for birthday wishes - have turned up new scissor sisters cd up full and danced round house - feeling much better! Always feel better after a good rant.

1b3 - go for just enough in white then when born can get friend to whizz out and get the right colours! Or buy enough in both colours close to time and keep receipts - I am planning to do that with newborn sizes as ds2 was a whopper and went straight into 0-3 but want smaller size just in case!

Time for more chocolate!

[we1becomes3kings]

It's a good idea but can I resist buying them tiny outfits (that they will never wear) I just don't know if I can hold out

[HollyandMistletoeforever]

SSK - yes it would annoy me as well - bloody shedloads but then I suppose we are all hormonal! She sounds a bit like my wonderful step-monster - always sticking the knife in to try to make you feel just a little bit guilty about something - even when you have nothing to feel guilty for!!

I am not speaking to my Dad or stepmum for probably the first time ever as I have had just enough of their total lack of genuine interest in their grandchildren and their unbelievable self-righteousness!! And I don't ever want to speak to them again, tbh!

So there!

1B3K - There has got to be a way to get you a scan to find out the sex! 5 minutes of a sonographer's time. Do you have any friends in useful places you can ask - does anyone else have any good ideas? I think, if it was me, I might try phoning the untrasound dept direct with a "special Christmas request". If you get the right person you just never know.....

[we1becomes3kings]

It's a shame that so many of us are having problems with out-laws and parents, especially around christmas. Hope you all get your problems sorted out.
Just remember not to let them get to you too much, think positive

Here for all you is a
(((((HUGE XMAS HUG)))))
Oh and a snotty xmas kiss from my DD XxX

[Sexonreindeerlegs]

Morning all, and a VERY Happy Birthday SSNK!

Hope you have a lovely day - and bugger the in-laws! Pain in the arse that they are!!

Brandy, sorry to hear you are feeling a bit low. Very natural to feel like this. I hope your trip to Guildford perks you up a bit.

I have got a real pain in my lower left hand abdomen again - just like last Monday. Soooo want to do a headstand and see if it shift the bean, as I am sure she is low in my pelvis again as she was last week at the scan. Having some chocolate to try and get her on the move! She is certainly reacting to the choccy as I am being kicked, but she is not moving - owwww!!!

Anyway, hope everyone is having a happy Monday.

See you later. xx

[weewishyouamerryonion]

happy happy birthday SSKD - hope the scissor sisters has got the happy hormones pumping.

this day next week santa will have been - if we've all been good girls!

just back from AND appt. not sure how i feel about it now but was a bluibbering wreck during it. got a chance to say out loud all the dark thoughts that have been whirling in my head. they want me to start on meds which i really am not happy about - i am too worried about the effects on baby. have to go and see consultant in the morning before i fly home to ireland.....

anyhow - hope you lot are ok with SPD, MIL, moving homes, scans, xmas stress etc etc xoxoxoxoxoox

[Sexonreindeerlegs]

Hi MO, sorry to hear you are still feeling low. Was the baby moving around more this time? I hope you got some helpful info, and that the meeting with the Consultant will help even more.
Big hugs to you. xx

[AndAKaty44InAPearTree]

Hi wo,
Hope you get the medications issue sorted out. It's a difficult one - on the one hand they should help, but on the other if taking them would make you feel more stressed...
Anyway, sorry I can't help, just wanted to send a ((((hug))))

[SparklySnowflakeKid]

Big hugs weeonion xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

SORL - has bean moved yet? Hate it when they sit low. Mine is really active at the moment which is nice.

I am definitely suffering from paranoia - and try not to choke laughing but have decided that have a third nipple! I'm not going into specifics because am way too embarassed to reveal any more - but will ask about having it removed when go for 6 week check (you never know may be useful for breastfeeding!) - have private cover so should be able to get it done without much fuss! I can hear you snorting laughing from here

For the bristol meet up at Jump - could just ring them and ask them to tie balloons to a table/reserve two.

Must go have bath/go to church xmas choccie hunt!

[Sexonreindeerlegs]

SSK, bean has moved up thank God. It was really painful earlier. Thanks for asking.
Did have a little chortle at your 3rd nipple issue - not laughing at you, but laughing with you of course!
Hope it gets sorted whatever it turns out to be. x

[HollyandMistletoeforever]

SSK - ROFL re extra breastfeeding help!! Yes - you may be being a bit hasty getting it whipped off now! Oh, and that sounds like a good idea re Jump in Bristol. Have you posted it on that thread?

And RH is trying to pin down a date on the big London meet-up so people need to look on that thread as well!!!

WWMO - I work for a consultant psychiatrist who prescribes all the time for AND/PND and I have been there myself with depression, so if you do have any queries or worries re meds I am happy to try and help. Just off the bat I will say that SSRIs (in particular Fluoxetine, aka Prozac) have been found to be very safe in pgcy. I have been on Fluoxetine myself in the past and found it absolutely fabulous (also very easy to come off). Happy to supply more details if you want.

[littlefrog]

Hello all, and happy birthday ssk! congratulations on the good scan result smole, you must be really relieved.
am feeling better today, thank heavens - bit of a miserable weekend, and I had horrible heartburn last night which made it hard to get to sleep.
Great excitement here as our scaffolding is coming down - hopefully the house will be clear for Christmas! All are promising that we'll have our kitchen for Christmas (six months without one - and guess, what, I'm exactly 6 months on Christmas day, good timing, eh?) and I bloody hope it's true, as BOTH lots of parents are coming, plus bil and girlfriend, and my grandmother too. Oh, and maybe a colleague of my husband's who has 5 month old twins... No oven will make this hard!

[Hollyhormone]

Afternoon ladies

Have completely lost track of the thread so I apologise now - I think that we are all suffering from christmas overload!
Happy Birthday to Sparklysnowflake Very impressed with chocolate and scissor sisters celebrations
Congratulations to emmymummy on pink bean also v.glad that this scan went well for smole and has put your mind at rest
Hugs to weeonion, good luck with consultant for your AD.
Opinionsrus...I know that it was a while ago but you asked if I was having a boy (cheese and pickled onion sarnies) and YES I am. Didn't know that this is a boy craving and that I am actually meant to be eating cheese and pickled onions!! Hurrah!!
Totally impressed with your guest list for christmas little frog. I would have trouble organising a good night in a distillery right now good luck with the oven!
CaptainDippy hope that the move is going well and that you haven't exhausted yourself.


And Finally..Grrrr to MILs who have no clue. Its not my MIL that I want rant at but my own mother so GGGRRRR at them too.

[Sexonreindeerlegs]

Bloody hell Littlefrog - sooo many people for Christmas. I feel for you I really do. x

[Smole]

Happy birthday sparkleysnowflake.

Hope everyone else is ok.

I was just think about christmas and food and I take it I can still have turkey sandwiches and cold meat & mash?

[liatHoHoHo]

Happy Birthday SSK!!

CD - hope the move is going smoothly and your dd is feeling better .

Big hugs to Weeonion - can totally understand you feeling nervous of antiDs but it sounds like you are getting some good help. I am so glad that AND & PND is taken so seriously these days instead of being ignored.

Finished my Christmas shopping today and it finally feels a bit more festive with cold and frosty weather at last. Am trying to get the house in order ready for the MIL arriving on wednesday. She's not as bad as some of yours sound but 2 weeks is going to seem a LONG time. At least DH has quite a few days off over Christmas & New Year so I won't be stuck with her on my own too much.

Hope everyone who's ill is better soon. Have had a stinker of a cold here which just won't get better !

[bubblez]

Hello All,

Hope that everyone is feeling well today.

Must addmit that I've been avoiding mumsnet and the antenatal thread for a while now.
I don't know whether it is the fact that I've had a virus or whether it is hormones or a mix of both but I have felt really rather anxious and low about everything. I find myself worrying about things that I really shouldn't be worrying about (getting old/dying parents getting old/dying etc) on top of all the baby worrys that I didn't have before (what have I done? will this change mine and DD's relationship? will I love this one as much as I love DD?). I just feel like a hormonal mess.

Other than that baby is doing loads of flips and kicks and making sure that I remember she/he is there. I can't believe that there is only 16 weeks to go before bday!! and only 7 days till xmas!! It's funny though I'm not as excited about xmas as I normally am.

Well better go and catch up on how you ladies are all doing. Sorry for being such a missery gutts.
