Due in December 07 - that's next month!!

Thought I'd start a new thread

Just about any food gives me heartburn at the mo - but fruit/veg seem to be the worst, along with chocolate - bland stodge seems to be OK (Rich Tea biscuits, toast, pasta - carbohydrate overload!)

LOL Amani loved that description.

got to put baby first!

Hello littleoldme the BH I've been getting feel like strong period cramps so vaguely painful but passes quickly more kind of twingey and uncomfortable. They stop me doing things for a few moments whilst they're at the worst but then it's all ok again.

Poor you Insy, I remember when I was pg with DS2 there were many nights I ended up sleeping on DS1's floor as it was the only way he would stay in bed/asleep. It makes it so hard to carry on working and functioning in the daytime when you have not had enough sleep. They definitely know when you are low on energy though. I don't think you are moaning a lot and it definitely helps to vent a bit! I am really hoping that DS1 settles down a bit once LO is here. I think he is also getting excited about Christmas - there are decorations up and music in lots of the shops now and loads of Christmassy adverts on TV - all too early IMHO - should ban all that stuff before December!

Psst Skid (or should that now be Skiw?!) do you think that ConnorTraceptive (from your AIBU thread) is ConnieDescending?! The similarity just struck me when I saw her name...

LOL Amani- I wish we could get Krispy Kremes round here. Am sure the baby wants some!

Off the see what all the fuss is on AIBU....

clairey - I've seen lots of posts from ConnorTraceptive before so I don't think so - also didn't sound like ConnieDescending in what she wrote but who knows?

I've never even heard of Krispy Kreme Donuts but talk of sweet things has made me want some chocolate (after my disgustingly healthy lunch of homemade mushroom soup, bleeuugghh) and I left my purse at home so can't buy any, oh I feel soo sorry for myself today!!

oh no don't MM, it's all very petty and trivial

had a look and posted... I wanted to see if it really was conniedescending but i didnt think so either, based on what she said.

I post petty AIBU threads all the time

I suppose that is the idea really... v. disappointed to see even my fellow antenatal-ers think IABU though!!

I dont think you were unreasonable just think men are like that... sometimes I make a big deal about telling DH something and he just goes "is that it"... drives me mad.

skiw - off to find your IABU thread now too.... i'm intreged
i think ds is picking up on pg (one sock book says they are never too young to understand that somethings happening i just don't think he's old enough to work out what) guess it doesn't help we keep moving furniture etc maybe for a toddler thats pretty confusing at times

well I can't leave on Thursday (I work for huge company and I need to give 28 days notice to change my dates and they are anal about policy) but my line manager was very understanding and said I could get a doc's note and be signed off but he'd be happy for me to book the hours as normal and I should just work when I can even if I only make it for a couple of hours to help my replacement so I'd still get paid - not ideal but I'm glad he's understanding, he did say baby has to come first

and who mentioned doughnuts and burgers?? I'm a junk food addict this time, one of my cravings is big macs - gross but true.... this baby is going to have terrible eating habits

You are not unreasonable Skid, perhaps unrealistic would be a better word! Men are crap at remembering appointments and such, I think we sometimes expect too much from their simple brains!

insy -sorry you cant leave on thurs but glad your boss is a little understanding anyway. do you think you will go and get the note from the docs.

RANT ALERT

Okay am getting ever so slightly peed off with work.

There are four of us in today and only me and one other are bothering to answer the phone. The supervisor never answers the phone unless it is ringing off the hook and is constantly on Facebook (which I am about since I cant access it)perhaps it isnt her job to answer but it is peeing me off anyway.

The other temp who stole the money etc and who i moan about quite regularly wont answer until someone else clearly doesnt and moans when she has to answer - hello you work on Switchboard. Then she just came back from lunch at 3.05 when she was due at 3.00, not that I am being anal about 5 mins... but she turned up at 10.45 when she was supposed to be here at 10.30 then proceeded to make a cuppa and eat her brekkie before logging on... ahhhh. Plus if she walked in at 3.05 then you know it happens, but she was just sitting at her desk.

Anyway rant over...

Skid - your new name sounds like you have taken up some kind of new alpine sport for expectant mums When the baby is here you can become Skidswaddle (or Skidswaddling or Skidswaddler)....

Am I allowed to say that my DH is actually very good at housework? Sorry to all of you that struggle to get yours to do anything, mine is extremely anal about dirt and I have even found him hoovering out the garage on occasion The problem is he therefore makes me feel guilty when I DON'T do all the housework - although there are some areas (bathrooms in particular) which are my responsibility because, as a typical man, I think he generally has a lower standard of hygiene than I do....

Suey2 - people were asking about the appointment of a new physio; what I wondered though is whether you ever found a night nanny?

Skid - off to see if you are being unreasonable now...

MM how annoying - could you play her at her own game and sigh a lot every time the phone rings and say how tired you are / how much your back hurts etc because you're pg? At least you have a good excuse and will get sympathy!

insy - yes I remember that from one sock... btw I have started reading another book called blooming birth which is much better than one sock.. almost all about birth but has made me feel really positive about it (not like that other book which made me panic hysterically!). It has lots of good tips about warning your toddler what you will look like/ sound like in the early stages of labour (i.e. before you pack them off to a babysitter)

oh dear I never thought of that claraq - quite an image... like my next name though as I am very into swaddling!

Can't ....stop....eating
Just ate huge tuna baguette from greggs and had got a 10 pack of those little mini ring donuts for DD and me later.....and I ate the lot (yup all bloody 10)

macdoodle

i regularly have a moment where I eat 6 packs of crisp in a row.

Yep Suey - I was asking about the night nanny as well - how did you get on ?

MM - I think your colleague is very slack but don't let it get to you, you don't need the stress. Good that you've got a date to move and are getting on with things, you know your situation best so know you will be making the right one.

Clara - my DH hates mess, he is good and swinging the hoover round but just hides the mess rather than sort it out! I can't complain though, yesterday he hoovered and dusted the whole house and took DD out for an hour AND looked after her first thing so I had a nice lie in. Think 2nd time round he's being a lot more understanding of how tiring and restrictive being pg is

macdoodle I do that all the time pg or not! I have no will power (you are not alone)

skid - I've given up on books - never anytime to read them anyway as think I only got about half way thro one sock book - ante natal classes this time have made me feel very positive, good way to be I was dreading it before so good to hear your book has same affect
read your AIBU thread, no your not but I'm afraid mines like that too - the one and only time I posted on the AIBU thread was when dh forgot my first mothers day, I mean I know its commerical but it was my first one surely thats the ONLY one you remember I haven't accepted yet that he won't remember things so agree with you

MM - sounds like a nightmare - how long till you leave?

Just worked out 14 working days Insy.... not a moment too soon.

If it helps my DH forgot Mothers Day aswell when I reminded him, plus mmade a big effort for his first fathers day. I just try to accept I am more considerate than him.
