July 2019 - Part 5!!

[Kentishgal]

Here goes...hope this works...

Wonder how many threads we'll have completed before the end of the first trimester!

The claire chronicles contuine.... go get a cup of tea and get comfy!!

Recap: Claire is the sister in law who was born and bred in the depths of hell. Has caused multiple dramas over the years and period of NC with DB and their kids. Always has to be the center of attention and is THE biggest drama queen. She suspected i was pregnant about a month ago and showed up wanting to get pissed. my DSis helped me have a drink without drinking to palm her off.

okay so where did we leave off?? ahh.. chapter 2 when i full on looked her straight in the eyes and denied it to her face that I was pregnant. So Christmas day we announce our lovely news to DSD and rest of the family and everyone all over the moon. Sent Claire a message as she wasnt at ours for Xmas (remember her family are a lot more important than ours- DB said they "might" pop in on the way back from her family dinner) anyway she read the whatsapp and never replied. No message from DB either. DM and DSis never heard from either of them after my Whatsapp.

So then today at 11.46 i recieved this message from her "Hi Onestep, we heard your news now that your not lying about it anymore. I didnt appretiate this being sprung on me on Christmas day. We had planned to come to your mums as we had got the girls a puppy for Christmas and they wanted to suprise everyone but obviously you ruined that for them with the "suprise" of your own and they have done nothing but cry since so i hope you are happy"

Once i had picked myself off the floor and stopped laughing pressed the fuck it button and responded with " yeah you done the right thing. Baby trumps dog any day of the week".

I've had 8 missed calls from DB since hahahaha he can get to fuck too. hahahahaha

#offyoufuckclaire

Holy shit Onestep2!! Claire is an actual psychopath

@Onestep2 this has cheered me right up! #offyoufuckclaire xx

onestep haha! How dare you ruin Christmas!!! #offyoufuckclaire she’s insane. But good for you sending that message back. I love the “fuck it” button.

@Onestep2 that woman has some serious issues and I'm not entirely certain where they begin! I genuinely cannot fathom how anyone can think that a surprise is ruined by a baby announcement. If they had their own baby announcement perhaps but the one thing I do know is that only you care about your new puppy (I have 2 dogs). People are happy but they just don't give a shit. But at least your family know now looking forward to chapter 3!

Go Onestep2! The woman is outrageous. Those poor children.

#offyoufuckclaire!

Puppies are cute but if someone told me they had a new one I'd think "aww" and then get on with my day. Not quite the same as having a baby...!

Good luck for tonight AIDE. How is the bleeding now?

I already have four DC but my DH is younger than me and doesn't have any. He's very excited. He's been broody forever. My last husband fucked off just a few weeks after I'd given birth to baby no. 4, so deep down, I think I'm terrified it's going to happen again :( my first child's father left after the first scan, too. I'm aware this all sounds very Jeremy Kyle but I can promise you I'm not 😂 I know I can cope fine as a single mother but what I can't cope with it another break up. Not that DH has shown any signs that he wants to leave but life has taught me than men do what they want, when they want!

Anyone else planning on having a gender scan?

No gender scan here. I'm sure it sounds a bit twee, but I want my husband to tell me what we have. It's one of the parts of pregnancy that he can experience before me.

@onestep2 pahahahha.. no words she’s not even worth the time of day... I am allergic to animals and don’t really like the thought of them trashing my house... but this text is funny.. #offyoufuckclaire and your bro if he ain’t calling to wish you any congratulations, you have a reason to be unhappy with the both of them .... dicks

Fuzzy my third baby was a surprise, and I couldn't WAIT to find out either by myself, or either exH what sex it was after the birth. But then she was born on my bed before the midwives arrived and I was absolutely terrified that it had gone wrong and she wasn't breathing so the fact she was a girl was the last thing on my mind at that point. So for that reason I don't want to risk getting my hopes up again!!

I honestly love puppies and i am buzzing her kids have one but i just could not be arsed with replying with a grovelling "im sorry you feel like that and im sorry i ruined your fucking christmas claire" like am sure she expected and wanted.

ive already had mum on phone giving me a (light hearted) telling off for my reply as apparently claire phoned her in tears at how hurt she was at my reply about how i dont care about her dog or that i ruined christmas making me out to be the bad one. so shes obviously doing the rounds. i give it another 2 hours before my third aunts second cousin on her husbands side sisters wifes neice gets a phone call from claire and then calls me to tell what a horrible person i am. honestly man. you could not make this shut up. #noregrets #offyoufuck

As for gender scan were not going to find out either as want a suprise! (i feel like its a boy though - dont ask me why lol)

Hey girls, haven't posted for weeks but been reading. But had to come on to say wtaf?! Claire is making you out to be in the wrong @Onestep2 with your reply, when her text message was awful and really upsetting!!! Have you showed your DM the message she sent you? I am smacked of the gob. Off you fuck Claire, and when you get there, off you fuck again.
@BirthdayKake We are getting a gender scan. My third, DP's first. My other two DC were surprises (gender wise) so we want to do something different this time, that I didn't experience with the other two.

Assumingly when you’re referring to a gender scan you mean a private scan if you can’t find out at the 20 week point?

We found out with ds at the 20 week scan. It was too bloody obvious not to. He was a bit of an exhibitionist. Legs akimbo and “ta daaaa” couldn’t miss it. Haha.

I’m convinced dc2 is a boy again. I’m not bothered either way. But I’m used to boys now....

Hello everyone ! Just checking in.
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas ! We told most of our family over the last few days and it's been lovely ! Everyone's so pleased. Also discovered my cousin is pregnant too! A couple of weeks behind me she thinks.

Pretty much all my symptoms have disappeared now (9+3) so I'm starting to panic again 🙈 still no date for my scan, hoping it comes soon as I'll need to arrange childcare 🙈

I know what you mean ememem. I've had a boy and then three girls in a row so I just think this is a girl and would probably die of shock if I saw a willy on the screen!! But yes I meant a private scan :)

I wondered where you'd got to MakeAWhish :) are you going to have one at 16 weeks? I would love to keep it as a surprise but I'm just dying to know. Really don't mind either way. Would be useful having four girls so they can play in twos, but my DS is desperate for a brother even though they'll be almost 11 years apart

Omg Claire is an absolute psycho ! Imagine 1. being offended that someone didn't share their baby news with you before they were ready and 2. Telling someone they've ruined their Christmas by announcing it ! I bet the kids wouldnt even have thought to compare the 2, no chance they were crying! What a lunatic

I'm undecided about a gender scan ... We have two girls already, first one was a surprise, second one we found out.

OH says he doesn't want to find out this time but I'd rather know. I know my family are all hoping it's a boy (I'm not fussed!) And so I kind of feel like if it's another girl I'd rather know in advance so I can deal with the fact I'll get negative comments like "oh will you try for a boy now" or "are you disappointed" .. we had questions like that when we found out our second was a girl so can only imagine it'll be worse a 3rd time 🙈

Regina I feel exactly the same. In fact, I've said to DH that if we find out the sex, we can tell one person each, but everybody else will be getting told "they couldn't tell us at the scan". I just cannot be arsed with the the negative comments if it's another girl!

@BirthdayKake I reckon we'd get the negative comments either way if we found out early or waited and it was a girl ! And I feel like I'd rather have the negative comments early and move on than have a beautiful little newborn and have people think I'm disappointed 🙈

The kids were crying because their mother is a raging psychopath. How awful, poor children. @Onestep2

I announced to my friends in our group whatsapp after 12w scan just by sending the pic and due date. I don't see them often because I moved across the country and aren't even that close to most of them. My two closest friends from the group I had already spoken to separately and told them and they were delighted (one of them is TTC). The others didn't really respond. I think they're annoyed because three of us got married this year and the other two both started TTC. One of the girls had a MMC a couple of months ago which was awful. We are certain that we conceived on our wedding night which was 12 weeks ago this weekend. Maybe I should have broken the news more gently or something? I know it's difficult but surely they should at least pretend to be happy for us.

@TheScaredyCat I have one friend similar to that , we have a group chat so I used that to tell them about scans, gender etc for my last pregnancy. Most were all happy and interested but one rarely responded to anything 🤔 it was really strange. I also noticed she'd like my posts/photos on Facebook but not if they were baby related ! So strange. The other girls picked up on it too. She conceived while I was pregnant , I thought maybe before then it was possibly jealousy but she continued to be like that ! She's done it with this pregnancy too so far . Don't know what to think!

Thanks @StargazyDrifter xx really sweet of you to show such understanding. We see my sister and her partner and their 7 month old a lot so DH is around babies / parenting. I think he gets totally overwhelmed by how intense and 24/7 it is. The bit he's missing is how much he will love him or her. I think it is going to take actually having a baby in his arms to make him realise. Just got to try and keep our marriage together in the meantime...

@FuzzyPixel that's a lovely idea. We won't find out the gender until birth either x

Hi all 10 weeks today - so glad Christmas is over (which I hate that I've said that as I love Christmas) but was so tense around family but only a couple asked why I wasn't drinking and just used the "I'm driving" excuse- to which was met with "you can stay the night" but I managed to get past that!

Husband and I had Dec today- first time since finding out ( 8 weeks) I was petrified of spotting etc, but so far so good!

I hope you lovey ladies are ok and excited that we are edging towards the end of the first trimester xx

@ReginaPhalange89 Glad to hear I'm not the only one, it's several in my group though. They are very close so maybe feel like they are being disloyal or something if they are nice to me about it. We've been very lucky to conceive without even trying really and I'm aware that that must be painful for some of them. I don't think I should have to feel guilty about it though. We have more than our fair share of struggles with DH health which is ongoing so don't have the easiest of times. None of them have to deal with anything like that. It just makes me sad that they think we don't deserve this little piece of good luck

14 weeks today :) we aren’t going to find out the gender ... buying all natural and penguin themed bits in the sales... however my scan on Xmas eve has changed a lot in 6 days... has an inclination it’s a little boy 🥰
