Due in April 2007 - where we start out with Pinions already in labour ................

[EllieKthePA]

so by the time you all get to this point she's probably had the baby

Thanks EllieK!!

Mossie . Mind you, I'm not due til 25th, dd was a week late, so I might be in your situation come May.....

do you want to join the email list Mossie, so every new baby makes you sooner?!

sort of EM, had planned to use the zapp whenever we go into town, but to use it for a newborn i have to take the seat cover off and put the car seat on, which means if i need it for matthew and have baby in sling, i have to reattach the seat covers which isn't easy. would really prefer a pushchair that fully reclines but matthew had a pram and never a fully reclining pushchair. pram would never fit in my car!

You lot are reet organised! New threads every 500 messages, email lists, links to amusing threads... is this all your doing and the reason why you are thread PA?

i have no life outside Mumsnet

Heel, then go for it Ellie, sounds like a good deal! (I can talk, have 4 buggies ).

Heel? Hell!

Evening - Phew- sounds like the girls have finally settled down after returning from PIL - they are always completely wired when we get home - exhausting stuff - must have taken DD1 out of DD2's cot about 7 times!!

Tea at PIL was ok, but I couldn't help being a little cold and distant, esp towards FIL who spent a good proportion of the time gazing wistfully in the direction of them usic room he is decorating - TBH - DH & I both thought it looked pretty much finished and couldn't understand why FIL couldn't help MIL take the DD's out for the day tomorrow so we oculd have a break .... .... but that's another story ....

Anyway - we survived!

Smole!! Congratulations! - On the arrival of wee Jesse - looking forward to hearing more and seeing pics of the gorgeous wee mite! Thinking of you as you have to go through the turmoil of tests etc - Just sooooo pleased he is here now and safe after your previous experiences - He is so precious!

Welcome to whywhywhy - Better late than never!

That PG Barbie is just plain disturbing and it's called Midge ffs!!? She is anatomically wrong - her legs would SNAP under the weight of that belly!!!!

My Bump looks enormous all of a sudden .....

CD - they have a Music Room?

Hi Mossie!

Oh yes - they have many rooms!!

MIL showed me her £500 Wedding outfit for DH's sis' Wedding in June while we were there!!

They spent exactly £6.50 on DD1 for her Birthday this year.

how do you not lose it with them CD?

Ooooo I want to slap them on your behalf .

Guess I am just very accepting and easy-going .... ?? I take it out on poor DH instead!

let us at 'em Dippy, you know you want to

MIL also had the cheek to say: "Ooooh, you must be so excited about going shopping for your outfit!" (For SIL's Wedding.) I was like: "Erm. Yeah. Right. I live in hosue that doesn't have any curtains or light fittings. I think I'll just be wearing a rubbish sack at this rate. You can only look forward to going shopping for anything ify ou can actually afford to go shopping for anything ....." She just changed the subject .....

Can you imagine my PIL's faces if they open the door to a rabble of great big PG woman who were "out to get 'em!!"

They just sound so completely selfish. Do they not realise how hard it is for you? How do they think spending £500 on an outfit makes you feel? The least they could do is help out with the dds occasionally. I really feel for you CD.

Awww, thanks hon. I am ok with it most of time though. We are blessed in many other ways. For a start, I have a wonderful DH, two beautiful girls, another gorgeous wee one on the way and a home of my very own ..... I just concentrate on those things and it is not so bad!

and Martin Shaw is back on tv, who needs anything other than that

Ooooh. Do you fancy him too, Ellie?? Weird, isn't it!!?

That's good that you can see all the positives CD, and we should all be thankful for what we have. I totally know what you mean as we're also blessed in many ways .

Sadly - we don't have a TV.

I don't fancy Martin Shaw. Is there something wrong with me?
