Due April 2008 - the food porn thread for expanding waistlines!

[SantasGotABigFatEllieG]

Hello

Been catching up on threads and cant believe there is now a due in sept.. wow how time flies.. Think i may need to remind myself and dh that im not an elephant and this baby is coming out at some point!! Thought by no. 4 that i may be prepared but really not this time.

Yes we tried all the usual stuff.. a locum gave her anti histimine which contains alcohol. too powerful for a 3 year old so not using it. They went down the scavies line as last resort and told us to treat everyone but me!! The hospital said that it deff not that as totally diff and no one else has it.. Just want some answeres as she due to start new pre school next week..Sometimes it feels like the drs enjoy having a guess!!

DS1 takes anti histamine (piriton) for rashes right through the winter- pretty sure its related to the heating being on, he scratches himself until it bleeds. It gets worse over times like christmas when its harder to control his dairy as well, so quite bad atm but is being tackled.

VS your bump looks a lot like mine LOL. This is the first time i've had a defined bump though- they've been more like general spread in the past.

Going to have to start getting things together for my hospital bag soon (mine's to be apcked from 30 weeks apaprently as they expect a fast labour). Mum and Dad have cleared their diaries for the boys JIC I need to go into hospital, a relief as last time they were away in Scotland when DS3 arrived.

Busy few weeks planned- DS3 starts school part time next week 9don't kow how long they'll keep him as speech therapy have said its unlikely he'll learn to speakmore than a few words at a time- nice hcristmas letter that was ), 2 days at BIBIC getting his therapy sorted week after, then paediatrics week after that. Nightmare! Also back at uni MOnday, and MW Wednesday.

VS your bump looks very like mine! Am so reassured that am not alone - my friend is PG and she has a tiny wee bump and I was starting to think there was no one like me in the world. Ladies, I think we should be proud of 'em.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I hope I am not too late to join. A friend recomended this site over Christmas so i thought i would take a look!

I am due on 12th April with my first (We don't know the sex)

I found out yesterday that I am now off work till due date! I have had abdominal pain throughout and it hasn't been possible to do my work at the hospital. I was due to finish as early as i could on 20th Jan but due to leave owing i am not going back not sure if i am releaved or scared

Hi and welcome velbels!

EllieG, do you know what sex your LO is or are you another with a surprise?

my bump is small compared to yours vs!

i will get dp to put pics of mine on later. its very impressive for me though, im normally a size 6/8 so this is good for me!

Ellie is having a dd.

i can see my milk.....eek! anyone else?

Hi Velbels!

Hello to velbels - of course you are not too late to join! The more the merrier! Wish I was finishing work now though

Mine's a little girl VS - or so they tell me anyway. Am not buying too much pink stuff just incase though.

My ex-husband is SUCH an arsehole. He's just sent me a text with SO much emotional blackmail crap in it - he needs to leave me alone! It's been 2 bloody years since we split up! And he's got his money and his stepford wife (girlfriend) but he keeps trying to make me feel rotten. He asks me how I am and when I say very good ta he doesn't like it so says something mean to try and make me feel bad.

DP says I shouldn't text back, that I should leave it. But I really want to text him saying 'Fuck off and leave me alone' or similar. I think that would be childish though. But very satisfying.

I have given in an texted him saying 'Please don't ever contact me again. I wish you all the best but have nothing to say other than that'. Do you think that was stupid?

I am very and now

that sounds ok ellie. just ignore whatever he says, you know its wrong. You are happy and he hates that.

Thanks scorpio. He's just texted back saying
'Thanks that's nice. All that I said was true so why are you angry with me? You will have to face up to it someday. Just don't mess up your next marriage or you will have a lot to run away from!'

He is a horrid person I think. He makes everything my fault. I have 'faced up' to anyhting I have done and taken responsibility for my actions and learnt from them but he doesn't. I don't feel I owe him any more explaination than that.

Am not texting back have deleted his number and will henceforth concentrate on my lovely 2008 to come with my lovely baby and lovely DP and lovely DSD.

that sounds like a plan.

of course you have learnt and understood more things since a divorce - you couldnt go through that without doing so.

He sounds jealous and meddeling. he should be happy with his gf and hislife, not trying to involve himself in your life, and the exciting things happening to you.

Thank you [weak smile emoticon]

Am going to have a nice cup of tea now and calm down.

He's a twat, of course, the simple 'X' that goes in front of DP/H means 'arse'. Honestly.

I was going to say that if you were having a boy Ellie then I would be convinced mine was too, I carried HUGE with Bobby and just big with Ella.

I have my meeting with all the new ante-natal bods tomorrow at the hospital, am expected to be there for about 4 hours!?!?!?!?!

I've practised my line for if the cons says I have to have a CS.

"With all due respect, unless there is a reason for my baby to come out early, I will not agree and will be going for trial of labour. I am happy to be monitored up until and during labour but unless there is significant reason to worry I shall not be siging the forms to agree to surgical birth again."

Good for you VS! Stick to yer guns lady. You are the expert on your body, not anyone else, and you should have the opportunity to have the birth you want. Am feeling very militant now.

How much do you want to bet I go in and then break down in tears and say through sobs 'I don't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant another caesariiiiiiiiiiian' sniff sniff.

VS, you know you know what you're talking about so don't let them bully you.

So, food porn - whats for lunch?

Veg soup
Fruit salad
Donut

That might also be an effective approach too VS!

I am trying to be healthy for a bit as slightly alarmed at weight gain over xmas. So am not having chocolate or cake for a bit. Probably won't last long mind.

Sandwich for me. Getting hungry now.

i have this coming tomorrow to keep my porn in

Oh Gosh, food.
I've eaten so much today.

I had some plain hula hoops cos I felt sick, then followed them with a marmite sandwich then a dairy milk caramle, and ended with a packet of beef hula hoops, interspersed with caramel quality streets.

I am getting very excited about scorpio's uncoming wedding - do you think we should set a date for a virtual hen do?

i love strawberry creme quality street.

have eaten them all though, and the orange ones.

ooh a hen do where i can drink??

Oooo new fridge - very porno

All we have left now are the dark choc and the pink fudge type roses and the hard caramel Quality Street.
Tis crap.

You are allowed to drink loads cos virtual alcohol doesn't hurt baby
