Due April 2007 - Eddas, have you had it yet? It is due today after all!

[thePA]

or if not Eddas, can someone please have a baby, it's been days since the last one

Genius idea the fatfingers.com.

And feel free to rant away not that we can do much being 300 miles away or wherever we all are!!!

On the chocolate front I had a WHOLE rolo easter egg for breakfast what is happening to me lol.

Dippy where've you gone???

you asked for it..................

found out why Justin (bumps father) was sacked for the 2nd time since christmas, and only 2 weeks before my due date - his new gf was 'feeling poorly' so took a day off, so he thought he would too! only a few weeks into a new job

and as for my family, well.........

my bro was supposed to be here to help out over easter and is now going 3 hours away to visit my mum and sis, forgot he'd said he'd help. and the family crib that every baby since me has slept in the night they came home from hospital, is in swindon, because my mum has spent 7 months saying it's not urgent we've got ages yet, and not managed to get it here yet, so my baby will be the first not to get to sleep in it that first night.

"I am just putting the kids to bed, they are 1, 2 5 and 11. I do find it really hard and the house needs a good tidy up. Don't worry about the labour....i had a phobia...a real phobia...they had to give me an epidural before they could examine me...i arranged that beforehand. And guess what....i never even felt the birth because i was that numb....bliss. Also i loved the pethadine too. Where are you going to? Please don't be scared....you know the doctor told me it can be as painfree as you like....but be on guard when you get the first pains....do not leave it til too late.....you will be fine. "

Just got this message from my "bag seller" on ebay and now am really really crapping it.......shit I wish I hadn't told her I was preg now I'm not going to be able to sleep.

i called my mum and asked her if she wouldn't mind going to the asda wallmart near her (she passes it every day) and looking for nursing pjs as someone on here recommended them and we don't have an asda, so what does she do, goes on ebay and gets some nightshirts sent to me

i'm grateful to her for getting them but i could've done that ffs

so now i have to post them back to the ebay shop as they are wrong size and won't get used, then start again.

Ellie cross posted x

Just off to get my cup of tea and will be back to sort you out!!!!!!!!

nice one pinions

a little tmi from her perhaps

In the meantime read my "really reassuring" message. I think she meant it in the best light but now am really crapping it help!

Still here - just sorted out 6-9m baby clothes .... DH has come back with a 400g bag of Mini Eggs! Think I need a hot choc and marshmallows now ....

Internet connection is shocking ....

does hot choc and marshmallows help with internet connections then

Obviously.

I am a walrus.

with tusks?

Are the new cutie naked baby pics on your profile Matthew as a newborn, Ellie??

Two big tusks.

no, i secretly had the baby and didn't tell you

of course they're matthew

is it just me or have the rules on what we can/can't do/eat in pg gone slightly mad?

just seen this

and the other day i saw one about pepperoni pizza

Right ellie. Are you ready?

Sorry if I am speaking out of turn but I speak as I find and if you don't mind me saying it your ex sounds like a real loser and though it may be tough at first you really will be better off without him.Not only that he's only just split up from you and is onto his "next" already when his child is about to be born within the next few weeks?

As for your family I'm afraid thats a little bit more tricky. Families are like that and can do the strangest things at times. Buying the wrong nighties instead of pj's that you specifically wanted is JUST the sort of thing that my mum would do and when you complain they seem to be able to turn it around very quickly onto you making out its YOU who is ungrateful. I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me. But the thing is that they miss the point, and like you said you could've ordered them yourself from ebay. Tell her what you think as politely as possible and then just let it go over your head. My advice is don't even ask for those things to be done, thats what I have learnt in the past it saves loads and loads of hassle in the long run. These things sound so trivial but in our family it seems to be able to cause WW3.

You're running out of time on your crib, is your mum not planning on coming to see you. Surely she'll come to see your baby? you'll need to have a crib sorted someway, why is she being so awkward towards you?

Thats the longest I've posted in a while, hope some of it is some use Ellie?

he is completely useless, but to be fair, i did make him leave, and it was back in october, and i have been seeing stephen since then

i have no intention of relying on him, just pissed me off rather! his mum has invited me for tea on thursday tho and was just as angry as me when i told her so that helped

as for my mother, she's always been like that! she left when i was 12, and yes, she's awkward, she wasn't going to come to matthew's birthday last year as they had a caravanning club weekend planned, til my gran 'had a word'! she came up just before christmas too but hasn't been since then. and now we're back in camping season so she probably won't meet baby til it's at least 6 mths old, and then it'll be cos i drive down there. matthew is 3.5 and she's seen him less than 10 times.

Totally second everything pinions said in her 2nd paragraph re: families - DH's parents are both selfish freakazoids imho - I have given up expecting anything from them or relying on them for anything. They are crap. Period.

On the other hand - at least they are not raving nutters like my parents.

it was of some use, reassured me i wasn't just wound up over nothing

and i've bought myself a moses basket, i'm just really upset that the crib my great-grandad built for me (he died at 100 in 2005) won't be here when i bring this baby home. feels like my dcs aren't as important cos she can easily forget about us.

K is 3 and I reckon my parents have seen her about 4 times each (they are divorced.) S is 22m and I reckon they've seen her about twice / may be three times at most.

They live 2 1/2 hrs away.

They are crap.

see CD, unfortunately my mum is a combi of the 2 styles, completely useless and total nutter too, family holidays before she left were to circus skills festivals and she turned up to the school christingle service (late autuumn) in ankle boots, thick tights, shorts, multi-coloured patchwork puffa coat. and then handed out condom keyrings. my school was for 9-13 yr olds

i've caught pesha on the ice cream thread

do you ever wonder how we become 'normal' parents CD?
