Due in June.....fill the rest in yourselves if we offend you so much

Happy now???

Hello everyone, glad to see you all back, its been mighty quiet here.

Anyone know if that May Baby has popped yet?

You just never know with the little *ers do you . DD loved to sleep so much we had to tickle her feet to keep her awake long enogh to bf in the first month. (Sputnik has gooey moment).

My lovely large baby didn't sleep through really til I stopped bfing at 13 months! Even then she was still going to bed at 10ish when we did and waking at 8. She didn't have a normal bedtime and sleep through properly til 19 months!

Ooh - I remember doing that Sputnik

Don't know Foxy - I was following the thread but haven't heard any more - I love birth threads .

Where's everyone gone.......

Having a shit day today and have argued with DH since we got up this morning cos he can't/wont understand how fucking difficult this pg has been for me. All I want is a cuddle from him and a bit more emotional support and I even have to nag to get those.

And it all started over the bloody ironing. He slagged me off yesterday about the fact hat the wardrobes and drawers are empty co its all waiting to be ironed, then dumped his stuff from through the week in the laundry. So..I've gone through all the ironing and threw his in a big heap and told him he could fuck off if he thought I was gonna do it...and he could maybe help out by ot giving me more to do than I had already....then he got stroppy and I got stroppy and a whole list of things that he siad he'd do and I sid I'd do came out and I ended up telling him that as he has no interest in helping out to get the place ready for the baby, then he could stay way from the birth as i have to do eveything myself anyway so one more thing wont make a difference.

Reading this it all sounds so trivial.
...fucking hormones.

Anyway....everyone sounding more upbeat today and I drag it all down again.

Oh Daisybump - so sorry to hear that - men can be so insenstive cant they?
Anyway who wants to iron on a bank holiday?

The suns coming out now and its stopped raining

hello
oh - don't gt me started on baby size - it is the bain of my life when working -all thet talk about bloody centiles - new mums get so hung up on it due to shite HV's usually but i'm way ahead of you all thet is a conversation for July!!!
to big babies sleeping through the night sooner - IMHO complete myth i'm afraid.
my 2 have been 6lbs 13oz (now one of the tallest in his class) and 7lbs 9oz (also very tall for her age) - i am the only midget in this family!!!! so birth weight re mature size = no connection it's length of baby that tends to give you an indication of future size.
i've had a productive morning - bought both LO's new shoes and even managed to find immitation Lelli Kelli shoes for DD!!! they have shut her up anyway £10 from Brantano - bargin!!!

Just helping DP line up some tiles in the bathroom - so im popping in and out! Oh my accurate eyesight is needed again.......

Daisy.... these are for you (((((((HUGS)))))))..... and don't forget Arse Therapy. Give it a good shout out. C'mon now.

Funny how these hormones seem to be going up a notch again now, eh? Like all those past weeks are relatively calm in comparison. Well, we're about to produce new human beings dammmit, so no need to apologise!!!

I hope you get the cuddles you need. My best tactic with my own stroppiness and DH is to walk away and then calmly return 5/10 minutes later, apologise for the state of affairs, then in one sentance state what's bothered me. Look as alluring as possible. Maybe 50% of the time he's going to come up and hug you - most guys hate to fight actually...

we're having a wee bbq today. the weather gods are laughing at me...

oh Daisy - poor you shout "TWUNT" really loud 5 times then go for a lie down or a bath and relax, sometimes it's best just to walk away till things calm down then try to talk it through again later x
or stay on here and we'll support you x

Last nite , LO was SOOOO active - it went on for over 2 hours non stop kicking/squirming and really large movements - at one point my DP took his hand off my bump and said "ohh thats disgusting!"
I thought they should be calming down more now as theres less room to move and then I worried that it was in distress or something?

Hi everyone

I just caught up from yesterday, and I am so glad I have!

I was about to phone my GP and have myself sectioned under the Mental Healt Act after my behaviour yesterday!!!!

Bumper / Daisy - it sounds like my day was a combination of yours!
Spent the whole day sobbing and repeating 'I'm not ready for this, I'm not ready for this - I liked my life before I got pg and I want it back - just how it was' although most of the time I was not easily understood as I was blubbing snot out of my nose!?

Also got really upset with DH when I was vomming up in the toilet (had try to eat normal portion of dinner and wasn't digesting it at all - was instead regurgitating it like a parot!!) and he didn't even come in to bathroom to see if I was ok!!?? He just shouted from the living room 'are you ok' cos he didn't want to miss what was on TV, I couldn't shout back so just carried on vomming!!! TWUNT!

I then stomped around the house in a phycho huff ranting on about how he NEVER cleans up after himself - and thought the best thing to do was to make a pile in the hallway of all the things he had left out / made a mess off - so I created a mini mountain of shoes, baking trays, mugs, food wrappers etc etc! It worked tho! He put it all away!!

I then sobbed uncontrolably because I felt so guilty for being an utter bitch and not a fit person to be a parent.

Today is another day! Thank christ!!!???
Thanks to you lot I don't feel like I'm alone in my madness! (no offence intended!)

sounds like its just that time of pg for us all....but my poor DH has had it for seven out of the last 8.5 months.

I've done the same withe DH ironing....just left int all in a big hepa on the floor, and I've brought in mine and DSs washing and left his hanging out in the hope that it rains!!

Sent the boys off out to the park, with the parting shot that DH can go back to bloody Boston as soon as DS is in bed tonight and that he's not invited to the birth of this LO. Feeling a little bit better (thanks for the words of support guys) but also a little as I know its just the hormones......why can't he see that though and just give me a bloody cuddle instead of raging back at me. I told him that I would gladly put up with being shouted at for the whole fucking nine months if he could just sample the hormones, the tiredness, the sickness, the aches and the pains for just one bloody day.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
TWUNT!!

Ah, much better.

Had to take some co-codamol and am sitting on the bouncy ball as well as I now have shooting pains from my pelvis down the back of my legs to my knees...think my sciatic nerve is playing up now .

PS LOL at your mountain of stuff in the hall DKMA.....as you say, its nice to know you're not the only one being a bit mad and wobbly

Daisy - I know what you mean with the whole arguing back thing. I mean it's not rocket science is it? Pregnant = hormonal = grumpy = uncomfortable = not sleeping = more grumpy etc. etc.
Their lives would be soooooo much nicer if they could just NOT ARGUE BACK and wind us up more!!!!!
A hug and an 'I'm sorry' would go a long way now!

I can almost see the headlines on North West Tonight.......'Heavily pregnant woman in Cheshire removes husbands testicles with blunt instrement'

SP awful I know - but don't care as pregnant = brain dead also!

Oh you poor thing DKMA, hope you're feeling better today, think it must be the final rush of hormones setting us all off. As someone else said (sorry forget who, maybe foxy) once your little one is here you soon won't be able to imagine life without them. You can still do a lot of what you always have plus you'll add a whole new dimension.

Hugs to you too Daisy, why not persuade your DH to invest in some of these . Dry em on a hanger and bobs yer uncle. Expensive but good quality and worth every penny.

I think I might get DH to read some of your posts, he said yesterday I haven't been very nice to him for the last 6 months, and maybe we should skip going to MIL's this week as I can't "be nice" to her either (result there then )

Daisy sorry to here about your shitty morning with DH. Don't worry about it seeming trivial, everything is just so much more difficult at the moment. I don't think men realise the toll it takes.

DKMA, sorry to make light of your emotional wobble but DH and I were just laughing at your post coz that 's exactly the sort of fight that we have. DH just likes to be left alone when he is feeling ill, so assumes that I do, but I expect him to come rushing in to check that I am ok - so when I'm feeling sick i usually get myself worked up into such a state not just coz I'm sick, but because DH isn't paying me enough attention! And most of my tears when we fight are then because I think I am such a bitch and feel guilty coz I am a terrible wife! But you will not be a terrible parent. You'll be fab, and like you I'm veering between feeling scared coz life is going to change so much, then feeling guilty because I should be selfless now I am going to be a mum.

Gosh, this is all such hard work, emotionally and physically! Hope your days get better daisy and DKMA.

Fab shopping websites by the way!

Cheers Sputnik...bless you for looking up the shirts.......he actually has some non-iron shirts, but as things get left in a heap for weeks around here, they're not exactly non-iron when I get around to doing them.

I think it was Foxy said the other day that putting up with us and our hormones is the lot of the male in this whole family making enterprise...and for them to get used to it

Feeling a bit better, and know that I will apologise when he comes back...I hate it when we aren't speaking. If I'm conscious that is...the co-codamol has kicked in and I feel like I've shotgunned a bottle of wine...bloody marvellous stuff but the sciatica is still bloody sore.

Bumper...glad you're sounding more cheerful today ....

right off to check out these shopping websites. A bit of retail therapy always cheers me up

I got some pjs for my hospital bag today. Wasn't until Foxy mentioned hers that I realised that my nice pale green and white ones from primark are NOT going to be suitable post birth so I got these (the white cropped jersey ones) but obviously in black! I also got the pink robe next to it too, only a tenner each so not bad, and feel better as I was stressing about it a bit (like there aren't more important things for me to be worrying about!).

This hospital bag thing is quite important to me, silly really, but I just feel like I need to get all the right stuff to make me feel better during and after labour. Anyone got any tips about what to take, aside from the obvious stuff? I got a couple of handheld fans (2 for a £1 from the pound shop!) and instead of the those expensive water sprays I got an empty spray bottle from boots to fill up with water. Got Neals Yard to make me up a lovely aromatherapy massage oil (which I am under strict instructions not to smell until labour as it has clary sage in it). Got some sports drinks and some of those energy sweets (yum!). Any other tips?

Right, promised DH that I will make him a cake, so off to be a proper wife for a change!

Bumper - can't believe you forgot the most obvious thing - a chocolate orange

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE!

I am such a fuckwit. My achievements today include, completely fucking up my pc, so my view is on its side - have had to set up another account for myself as I haven't been able to fix it. My other remarkable achievement is to completely fuck up all the beautiful decorating I did last weekend in the girls room by making HUGE holes in the wall trying to put up a curtain rail. Am now waiting for the filler to dry to I can repaint

Oooh, Preggerspoppet popped - a boy.

That's another one down, another one closer to June ... yikes!

(am feeling quietly relieved to be at the end of June now)
