[sparkletoes]

on behalf of oor Daisy..

Glad to be of service Yorky. It's even scarier the right way up!

Merry they are SOOOOOOO cute! Well done you!

oh, did anyone notice that ALDI are selling whole pineapples for 69p each?

fill your boots ladies

And if there is not an Aldi near you then Sainsburys have them on special offer too - about £1.50 or something, they are supersweet ones so quite nice, for the first mouthful and now I feel like my mouth is filled with tinfoil. Yuck!

someone pass me a paper bag you'll never guess what just happened to me....

breathe breathe breathe (whilst i calm down..)
congrats to betti on nathan and what a brilliant achievement in his birth!
HM2J and rutho come on... i got sweep in the morning and you guys need to beat me for sure..

Right, my boob had leaked so i smeared lansinoh all over them as was sore and dry. Then i felt damp so put pad in my pants. sat cross legged on sofa and was wafting air to my boobs and bits. FIL burst in unannounced, with DH stepmum and some woman i never seen before??!!!! (apparently it was her sister)
The women went to look at the nursery and DH went to take delivery of chinese takeaway which arrived at same time..i am left alone with FIL....

he sits down and starts giving me a foot rub i pull feet away and he says "its okay, lets get that blood pressure down"

okay no-one, no-one dare to tell me they have worse in laws than me!! i have been rubbed!!!

Merry - your twins are gorg by the way, sorry i didnt say so first but seriously im scarred by in laws x

doctorswife - WHAT THE F**K?!

I KNOW

Oh DW I was reading your post hoping for going into labour news - now I just feel wronged - at your FIL for such behaviour and at you for sharing and scaring!!

choc im sorry to share.. i had to set the scene... i am truly truly mortified.

Poor you DW it all sounds very strange - I was only joking, here is the place for sharing!! I hope you recover soon!

doctorswife - if the of what weirdness and rudeness (cant think of better words) has just happened doesnt set you off then nothing will! Saying that it may help things along with the sweep tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you that the sweep or this shock does the trick.

DRswife- eewww

Glad to hear little Esme is getting better. Sorry to hear Pinkali is feeling down- not suprising- I hope they are both home soon.

After the incident ive had a massive "discussion" with Dh about his family bursting in unannounced..check my earlier posts its usually MIL who intrudes on fridays, apparently she called Dh to tell him she was coming to see me and he told her no as i wasnt up to his niece screeching round the lounge..instead i get this.

ive explained that i wanted a homebirth due to privacy and from tomorrow i could well be in labour or lying in the lounge with my fanjo out!! he is under strict instruction to call them all and advise they are not to drop in like that. jesus..i dont even know how to tackle the foot rub part..WTF!???

what'd you do!???

OMFG DrsWife

Has DH spoken to him? I don't think I'd want them in the house ever again. Can you keep the door locked (change them if you need to!!) or get a chubb lock installed that you can keep locked when you are at home. Or a note on the door saying "F Off you weirdy foot fetishist fraek, I'm in labour"

talk about invasion of privacy.......both domestic and personal.

and....OK, bad as my MIL is....You win

yes, i do win!!
Door is usually locked but was open this time as i heard a car and shouted "its the chinese!"

when im in labour midwife has promised to put a note on the door but thats not enough now, especially as i know advice is to air dry sore nips etc.. i can just imagine mastering breast feeding with these interuptions!

the foot thing, i think, think he was genuinely trying to be kind but has no concept of boundaries... im not sure. DH says there is no malice in it but ive told him, my feet feel violated!

im going to bed, i'll log back in tomorrow after my sweep, assuming the in laws arent crowded round the bed like the three wise men

change locks! i have a fear of massage at the best of times, but that is just wrong wrong wrong!
Don't air dry sore nips, please, it's not a good idea.very ouchy. keep them moist, honestly.

Betti congratulations on the birth of Nathan
Drswife that is shocking behaviour, you def win

Hi all,

OMG DW!!! Words truly, truly cannot express how much I want to come over right now and bash your inlaws over the the head with something heavy. Kerrrrrrrist. I thought random people touching the bump was bad enough, but sheesh. The mind boggles, it surely does.

I mean, FFS.

I hope your sweep tomorrow is mega successful and that your MIL bursts in just as your placenta is being delivered and that it comes out really really really fast (but painlessly, obv) and hits her between the eyes and knocks her out cold! It is the only way they will learn to FUCK OFF.

Even my StepMIL has more idea about tact and boundaries than that and she has all the social grace and finesse of a particularly local rhinoceros (catchphrase "Oh, don't mind me, carry on, have you got any biscuits?.

'kay, other messages:

Merry, your babies are so so so so so cute. Can I come over and play with them? They are just gorgeous! V , as I bet mine is a Yoda!

Love to Pinkali, hope you feel better soon, hon. Big kiss for baby Esme, right on the nose. Mwah.

Lacks, I am PMSL at the idea of boots full of pineapples... Especially as the rest of my pregnancy "look" at the moment consists of stretchmarks, leggings and cardigans. And a huge wet maternity towel, squish squelch.

Heartmum, hope your infant is less sluggish than mine and that you are actually cuddling a lovely new baby right now!

Ooh, morning ChocO!

Morning everyone!!

Was expecting to get up to news of babies!! No update from heartmum for a while, hope that means a baby is on its way!!!!!!

MerryM your twins are just gorgeous, the pics are lovely and at your bump!!! bet you are pleased thats now gone!!!!

DocsWife all I can say is and make sure your door is locked and bolted!!!!!!

saurus you sound very calm about everything this morning considering all you have been through over last week or 2, at least the end is definately in sight and you will have your baby by monday at the latest, but sure it will be before then

Keeping my fingers crossed that my sweep this morning gets things started as now 1 week over due and getting fed up of just waiting

Hi M2B, totally forgot it was your sweep today! Good luck, you'll be fine and I hope you get some baby action this weekend. Race you!

Thanks saurus fingers crossed it will work, still think you will win the race as you have quite a head start on me!!! Unless I have a really quick labour? but as I was in labour for 38 hours with DD cant see it being that quick

Also, please text me if anything happens. I have Vbab's number so if I am also doing baby stuff at the time I can send news to her.

Unless she's also having her baby at the same time...

We'll sort something out!
