Due Dec 2007 - All I want for Christmas is a baby!!!

[mixedmama]

Hola

Too right!

Morning everybody!

Morning - I knew it wouldn't take long for us to fill a thread.

Hello!

Morning all.

Yes I want a healthy baby for Christmas - and please can I have my figure back soon Santa, I've been a good girl (wishful thinking)

Pretty tired today. Slept a bit last night, but must admit I'm bored of the painful hips and sore back thing.

I'm fed up with constantly tidying this house. I think I need a cleaner.

I think I need a morning snooze, that might make me feel better.

Question is will we fill another before all the LO's arrive.

Ahh Wizzka what I would give for a cleaner.

Likewise - would love a cleaner.

Wizzska - go put your feet up and have a rest. Am too familiar with that feeling of lack of sleep and an achy body.

Morning everyone

Glad to hear that most of us are now at the resting up stage though I agree its difficult to sleep now as so uncomfortable.

I have had twinges for days now and think that labour is starting then for everything to stop hours later

Never thought I would go to term which is now two days away and really hoping that lo puts an appearance in before Monday as I really dont want to be induced or have section next week.

Amani - you lurrrrvvvee cleaning, you wouldnt want a cleaner.

Hiya Chicks. The lack of decent sleep is starting to get to me a bit, but as everyone delights in telling me ?it?s just getting you ready for when baby arrives? grrrrr, Feel pretty much whale-like today, which is rather apt as I?m venturing out for a swim/float this afternoon. Although I?m really in a fab mood cos I?ve just got in touch with my BF from my first primary school, haven?t seen her since we were 8, we lost contact about 10 years ago, on facebook, so I?m really chuffed. Starting to get the whole facebook thing slowly but surely.

Good luck JARM, Clairey I?ve Sky+?d it, will watch later, I cannot resist torturing myself with birth programmes.

I?m starting to wish I?d told everyone I was due at end of Dec instead of the start, getting a bit fed up of people asking me if I?ve dropped yet, or if we phone the ?rents they get all giddy.

Blimey it took me so long to compose this message that a new thread was set up!

hmmm, now comtemplating lunch, cannot decide on what to have...

Just to rile you in the morning

Ahhhh just had a "discussion" with Dh about ILs, told him for the first time that I was on the verge of PND because of the stress and it seemed to go over his head. And for the first time EVER i asked him why when his mum asks where I am he doesnt explain how I feel about them taking over DS and excluding me and that we should all work together to fix it instead of saying that I am working. He tries to say that he goes to my mum and dads, yes where people respect him and talk to him and make him feel like one of the family.

i feel there may be a big discussion coming on.

Sorry ladies.... it was quite civilised.

Not sure i should read Ambi's riled link now.

Wheres skid to lighten the mood.

Ambi re that story. It is sooo annoying when people say pregnancy isn't a disability its a lifestyle choice. Yes, but if any pregnant woman would choose how to reproduce, I think most would choose to lay eggs and let their husbands sit on the nest to incubate them like birds do. Not many would choose to grow the size of a whale, get aches and pains, feel sick, not sleep, suffer incontinence, tearing, stretch marks, piles...

Ambi - that is annoying. I know those bays are not a right for anyone really but i think it was perfectly acceptable for her to park there and I dont think any parent would think it isnt.... I find it really ddifficult getting out of the car in smaller spaces.

Having children is a lifestyle choice tho and she is at the beginning of that choice therefore allowed to park there. What has disability got to do with it, it wasnt a Disabled bay.

I agree, I don't think the warden was female do you? I'd have told him where to shove his fine, Tescos gave me a P&T sticker at 6 months pg, I find it hard to get in/out of my car now in the lickle spaces too..

Melly ? re benefits, we filled out our working tax credits before ds arrived leaving the baby bit blank and so we didn?t have to look for P60?s etc after he?d arrived, you can only back date a claim for 3 months so good to get it in asap. Child benefits we did after he arrived, only a short form ? think they need to be registered (birth cert) before you can do that. There is a form in your bounty bag they give you in hosp ? on a 6 hr discharge I never got one so went to local tax office with dh when he was on pat leave ? it?ll be the same for both of us this time being a hb n all ? hope that helps not sure what other benefits are out there?.

On skids comments ? bj is meant to be more effective for proglastin hormones but you have to enjoy it too so you release endophines and oxytocyin (I think??) basically use it as an arguement to get something back

Should I warn the neigbours I?m having a home birth?? We are an end of terrace and live next to an older couple, we never hear them but I guess we?re a noiser household? will be an awkward conversation!

Ambi ? know what you meant about people asking if you?ve had baby yet ? like you wouldn?t tell them??!?? That annoyed me last time as well ? think it?ll be worse if go over due as well
at story too ? pregnancy is a lifestyle choice! wtf! Like they don?t need us to have children to pay for their healthcare and pensions, I think its prefectly acceptable for pg woman to park in wide space, I have a nightmare getting out of tight spaces at work

last day at work ? woo hoo!

I am getting a few twinges...stay put baby...
but no show or anything!

Right, I'm just going to waddle my un-disabled body to the shops to get some more varnish for my drawer unit.

Could we also say that its a lifestyle choice for people to eat unhealthy food and not exercise so they have heart attacks and therefore we shouldn't have to help them when they're ill?

HUMMM - about the pregnant woman story! I am due tomorrow still cycling and parkign my car in non-M and B spaces and can get both my children in and out or normal spaces.

Pregnancy isn't a disease!

Wizzska- LOL at the nest - have considered getting DH to walk around with a back pag filled with tins at the weekend so that he can get a taste of pregnancy. Am turning into SUCH a whinger!

So at Tescos stupid parking attendant - all very well with them agreeing to pay the fine but hope they at least give the poor woman a big bunch of flowers and some free nappies while they're at it!

Parking people are like Satan IMO. The worse possible. they drive me mad.

or even a backpack

sorry - cat on key board!

Also £90.00 that is a little steep.
