DANGER: Wide Load - due in April 2007

[Katy44]

i must say I'd be gobsmacked if anything did happen as I went a week overdue last time .

I was 5 days over too but still got excited about the show until I spoke to the midwife who was totally unimpressed!

Oh fantastic just called up the MW because i have red itchy spots on my bump, so I have to go see the doctor tomorrow, and my mum was coming over to get DD up so I could have some sleep, looks like that has gone out the window

I just seem to be having so many "Fun" little perks this pg dandruff, spots, nose bleeds, puffy feet and hands etc etc need I go on.

I just want it to be done already so I can get on with my life.
Can anyone tell it is beginning to drag a bit.

I am such a moaner ignore me

Thoughts are with you dooby and wo.. hope everything goes okay with the checks and you aren't in hospital too long.

Liath - how scary! but kind of exciting too..keep your legs crossed

Katy44 - congrats on your blue bean!! Good to keep us all on our toes.

1b3 - if anyone is entitled to moan it's you and ooogs.. though I think at this stage we should all be allowed to be moaning minnies. I don't think anyone would hold it against us. sorry you'll lose your lie in, I know how much they mean! good luck for your appt.

1b3, of all the days eh! Could your mum make it a different day instead? That way you could get your lie in another time but still go to docs tomorrow. Hope you are ok anyway xx

It is her last day off work tomorrow.
Poor DD has to suffer aswell as i have a tesco delivery and need someone in the house when it arrives so DD doesn't get to go to her play group
Pooor little sod she has a really crap life at the moment, mummy is no fun at the moment, I completly understand what Ooooggs means when she said it is frustrating cause you can't do the thing that you want with them.

God I am begging to depress myself.

QUICK HAPPY THOUGHTS
going to look at my tiny baby grow's

1b3, poor you. Moan away my love

I definately feel like a crap mum, have said many times before so sorry for repeating myself!! Hoping not being pg will mean i go back to being a bit better, no sleep, crying baby, no time for me, yep can see that happening

So many messages to catch up on - i can't wait for ML its so hard to get two minutes peace to myself at work - everyone is panicking that I am leaving...I have never worked so hard in my life, i wouldn't mind but my brain is like a sieve!
Anyway I hope Dooby and WO are ok, will be checking in for updates
Liath - A show - wow - are you going to see a MW?
Katy44 - damm i guesed wrong i was sure it would be a girl anyway congrats on your blue bean.
Hope everyone else is okay.
Went to the mother and baby show in Excel on Saturday (Thanks CD!)OMG, I have never seen so many pregnant women! I manged to hire my tens machine, sign up to prima baby for a year for 19.99 and get a free gift (7 x tommee tipee closer to nature bottles). Half price infacol pro biotic drops, A winnie the pooh baby bath for a fiver for my mum's house (her bathroom is so small and cold) - and i haven't even looked at the rest of the bags that were flung at me! All in all very worthwhile but i have never ached so much the next day, I am now at the point where my bottom half can no longer sustain the weight of my top half, maternity belt or no maternity belt.

WO and Dooby - Hope all goes ok

And liath hpe your show is just one of those that means nothing really, like mammyjos was. Im 35 weeks too and torn between wishing it would come now and feeling of all those with things happening and then thinking no its much too early ive much too much to do and keeping fingers (and legs!) crossed that it stays in til 40 weeks plus!

I am in the bad mummy camp too, seem to be shouting at them all the time lately, especially dd. Every night i think that was a crap day tomorrow i wont get so cross so quick and try and be nice but she never listens, never does what she's told and constantly answers back and it drives me mad. Its like she's a teenager already and she's only 6! And at the moment they're both out playing in the garden while im sat here on MN. Oh and i cut both their hair tonight, took way more off dds than i meant too and ds' is also much shorter than intended and he looks lke someone else's child, not my little boy at all But it grows so quickly he'll be back to normal within a couple weeks.

And thanks for suggestions, paying someone to help is an interesting idea maveta, am very tempted but not sure who id ask. Dont need a cleaner more a life/house organiser like on those tv programmes but not sure theres many of them around yeovil! And my mum is a teacher so would help in her easter hols but unfortunately thats bit too late. Dps step dad has offered to help with diy type stuff and think i will be asking him to help get garden secured and safe as he does keep offering. Everyone else works and I dont really like to ask! Will just have to really nag at dp!! Although all this week he's working 6pm til 6am so not gona be much chance for him to do anything and sat he's got football then is off out with his mates cos its his bday tues and so will be no good to anyone all day sunday. It can be so frustrating being so heavily pg and incapable cant it?

My head wants to do lots of things my body won't let me do. Like i need to put up 5 blinds in my house and shorten 2 pairs of curtains. But if i don't do something in the morning it won't get done. I plan to do lots of things once dd is in bed but i just cannot function after 7 and end up sitting either in front of mn or the tv. It's so annoying as normally dd's bedtime is my q to get a few things sorted. I ay try tonight but doubt i'll get far. Mind you the other day we got baby bits out of the loft and i managed to run around like a blue a*d fly til about 11, with dh telling me to take it easy but i just couldn't, how strange!

I have to say it's nice to know everyone is feeling the same. Makes me feel less crap

Eeeuuuuurgh, after a relatively healthy day... weetabix and a slice of toast with jam for brekkie, teeny small meat and veg pie followed by fresh fruit salad and a low fat yoghurt for lunch..oo yeah and a mini muffin for dessert..I have now added to the list (since arriving home)

1 shortbread finger
2 squares of chocolate
1 bag of crisps
half a bag of pork cracklings
can of no caffeine coke.

Am now feeling slightly sick...

When´s dinner??

make that..

a WHOLE bag of pork cracklings

BARF.

I am in the bad mummy camp as well. Mind you, I have to say that B is being a pita this evening. Completely ignoring everything I say/ask. She took her seatbelt off in the car, opened the window and was kneeling up about to fall out. Not pleased. Now being obnoxious and not wanting to eat the things she has asked for.

Dh has even shouted at her twice which is unheard of.

Maveta, you go girl on the trashy food. Has to be done! I got home and ate not 1, but 4 cakes! I was starving!!

Right, better head.

Bought some quit nits and tea tree oil tonight, so there is going to be a battle tonight with the blighters!

Maveta - I can relate to that, sitting here finishing off leftovers from the fridge.

Mind you, think I have good reason to be comfort eating as dh has just totally pissed me off. Sorry, this may sound like an unreasonable rant once I get it all in type but here goes. Picked up Emily from after-school club and half way home she starts crying that daddy had left her scooter at school (the scooter lives in dh's car and Em uses it to scoot up the road to school from where we park the car). I say to her 'don't be so silly, daddy wouldn't leave your scooter at school'. Cue more tears and once we get home she is totally inconsolable. I shout at her to stop being a baby as I'm convinced dh wouldn't have been so stupid (you know what's coming don't you). So I say we'll ring daddy. I call him, he doesn't answer his mobile, I try his work no., it rings for 2 minutes so I give up (getting very by now) and try the mobile again and he answers.
Me: 'did you leave Em's scotter at school?'
dh: 'What? Oh, yeah, I think I did'
(You 'think' you did? WTF?).
And then he acts like I'm the stupid one as I didn't remember to bring the damn scooter home. What, am I supposed to be psychic now?
And no doubt when we get to school tomorrow morning the scooter will be gone and there'll be more tears......I just can't cope with tears right now.

Liath - ooh a show - very exciting!

Mine was a kind of blobby thing last time!

Katy44 - congrats on the boy news

i keep burping the pork cracklings.

I don´t know how this baby is lying, mw said head down but didn´t indicate where the rest of him was. I have bits of baby sticking out both sides of my belly..maybe he´s in upside down lotus position?

I. think.I´m.going.to.be.sick.

Emmymummy - very bad daddy indeed..

EEWWW! Dont envy you the pork crackling burps Maveta. Things like that to eat were always a good idea at the time!

Emmy, dont blame you being at dh. I think that we are meant to be psychic though as well as everything else. Hope the scooter is still there in the morning.

SOSPL, good luck with the nits tonight! A horrible task but if it works then it will be worth the hassle.

Cant remember anything else now. Have a good evening all.

hi all!

Pesha AHHHHH at your docs &mw's! So sorry they missed the spd and you could have had so much more help. You just have to realise how strong you've been getting though. Well done you. Hope you can find someone to help with the house. Wish I was a bit nearer and could pop round and use up some of my sorting/nesting energy up for you!

Eddas - congrats on getting the heating sorted!

Nutty - sorry you had a stressful w'end. Your shopping trip sounds punishing! LOL at egg in shop!

Katy!! A boy! Well, I was wrong there. Congrats! Love the name Tristan.

Yvie - wow baby show sounds great. Lots of freebies! Well done!

Maveta - pork crackling is gross ugh ugh ugh!!!!!

Emmy - you poor thing. GRRR at dh. Just not what you need right now. Hope that you find it. [fingers crossed emoticon]

SOSPL - hope that B settles down a bit this evening for you and the war against the beasties is succesful!

I'm doing ok. Have arranged some time off work, unpaid, but it's given me some breathing space and time to relax. Feeling loads better and to be honest, not sure i really want to go back! They've said that's fine though, so phew. Have been soooo tired today. Was going to walk into town (only about 15mins) but got as far as the post office and doubled back, calling on someone for a cuppa instead! Having loads more bh's too, they are getting quite painful now.

Hope dooby and WO are ok xxxx

Have just been through B's hair with the comb v thoroughly, and found loads of big fat lice - YUK! Quite satisfying, but seems that the full marks mousse has done bugger all. I will spray with the Quit nits tomorrow and see how we do.

Emmy, dh's eh - who'd have them!

Maveta, hope you are ok!

Off to sort dinner out - back later.

Ooooo SOSPL, the nits sound gross. Am so not looking forward to Em getting the little buggers.

Eca - so glad you've taken some time off work, sounds like your body is telling you to slow down.

Am feeling very low and hacked off this evening. I think the scooter thing has just about finished me off. Am trying to tie up loose ends at work and get all my stuff in order so that my mat leave cover can find everything and manage the work in the way I want it done, have horrid stomach pains, am knackered, and then dh has the cheek to say he's under a lot of stress at the moment. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing this all on my own.....

Not pleasant no, but as I said, quite satisfying. Hope you feel a bit more cheery tomorrow emmymummy. I often feel like I am on my own. When I was pg with Becky, dh couldn't do enough for me, but this time seems to be a different kettle of fish.

Eca, really glad you are taking some time out from work. Rest up lovely.

Hi all

Not caught up yet but thought would post before I do in case I don't have the energy after IYKWIM...

I "lurked" this weekend as was out most of the day Sat and didn't have the energy to reply to anything yesterday.

Not a huge amount to report here apart from I spoke to my boss today and my last day at work is now Thursday instead of next Friday. I am so releived as I literally did not sleep a wink last night and was absolutley exhausted getting up and getting ready and James to nursery for 8am - I just know that the time is right for me to finish as I am starting to get teary and emotional and it's just not worth that at this late stage. My boss was great and agreed so it is a big weight off my mind and I feel tonnes better knowing I now have just 2 days left...also I go away on my friends Hen weekend this weekend so it will be a nice relax knowing that work is finished too.

Hope all are well and that all babies are doing well....off to catch up...
before I go...

Sex is deffo off the menu in this house now...I finally managed to entice Phil into some action on Sunday - I ended up getting cramp in my calf whilst doing the deed - Phil got the fright of his life as I started screaming out in agony ...he honestly thought my waters had gone or something......so I think I'll just give up now - we did have a good laugh after though - once the pain had gone it was quite comical!
x

oh, emmy - sorry you're feeling so rough. It's amazing how dh/dp can either make us feel a whole lot better or a whole lot worse. Sounds like the stresses 1b3 was having with dh too.

btw - not seen EllieK around for a while, hope she's ok too.

MIAM - ROFL at you with cramp and poor dh!!! That's soooo funny!

No, I was wondering about EllieK too. She's my buddy, but I haven't had any texts from her.
