Skiingone sorry I can't remember is this your first? How you finding it?

BabyBolat · 12/03/2009 11:41

Are you all off having your babies today?????

BoffinMum · 12/03/2009 11:43

Let's you, me and Nutty all go up the Portland for a sunroof special together, BB, and share a room while we're about it. Should be a laugh. Does Nutty snore??? Does she wear her pom poms in bed, do you think??

Now ladies, do we think it would be illegal for me to strangle DD, or could I plead mitigating cirucmstances? She is round here more than half the time at the moment (she actually lives at college f/t officially) and eats all our food without telling us so we run out, and makes a mess everywhere expecting the tidy fairy to pick up after her, sprawls all over the sofa watching TV at times the boys are not allowed to, and generally gives us attitude. It is pre-birth attention seeking on her part, and very draining indeed. Only she is nearly 22 so I do not think she has much of an excuse for this.

I have got DH to drive her back to college just now before we came to blows. And I was so stressed about her hanging around messing things up I forgot my chiro appointment. Grrr!

BoffinMum · 12/03/2009 11:45

On second thoughts I probably ought to write a book blaming her behaviour on da Ganja and then make loadsamoney out of it like Julie Myerson.

BabyBolat · 12/03/2009 11:50

Oh Boff I actually have to say when I go home to my parents for any length of time (as in more than a day!), I do turn in to my teenage self and get a bit lazy, messy and bratty because I can't do it myself! But I know it winds my mum up and we get a bit narky with each other which is when I leave! think it will change tho when LO comes along because my role will change!

Boo for missing chiro tho!!!

I reckon she is a pom pom wearer!!

BabyBolat · 12/03/2009 11:50

Sorry meant - I can't do it in my house!

BoffinMum · 12/03/2009 11:54

BB I am sending DD straight over to yours then.

Actually she would be the dream house guest, I know. People phone me up when she has been staying with them and rave about how lovely she is, and ask her back. She obviously has a tidy and considerate Doppelganger.

But just now, just for a bit, I wish she would be tidy and selfless here, when I need her to be!

Bleuravin · 12/03/2009 11:58

Morning (just) ladies,
BB I feel the exact same way about the pains lately. I got all snappy at Dh in the evening not because he was doing anything wrong, but because I felt like I was being pinched constantly by LO and then DH was asking me a million questions. In the end I just cried and sent myself to bed. I'm not in a rush for the baby to come out per se...but I'd like the discomfort to end.

I have my Dhs ex girlfriend over today and I haven't cleaned a thing...I don' even have the energy to do so...I wonder how she'll feel about a kitchen that hasn't been cleaned in nearly 3 days...That's what she gets for coming over when I'm 37 weeks pregnant. (maybe I can be cunning and get HER to clean it [evil laughing emoticon])

Bleuravin · 12/03/2009 12:03

Does anyone know what a typical bedsit in London area costs (DH has been talking to an agent in london about a job --finally one in this country!)

LuLuBai · 12/03/2009 12:05

Boff - wanna swap DDs? Mine is leaving a trail of havoc and destruction in her wake too. So far today (aside from the usual toy chaos, unmaking of made meds etc) we've had all the muesli all over the kitchen floor, and a poo-ey nappy removed while I was in the shower and a dirty bum rubbed all around the house ready to greet me when I was out of the shower.

Meanwhile the cat has thrown up all over the dining room, pissed in the bedroom and crapped in the living room.

I have cleaned up all morning long. And not even started on any of the things that I need to get done.

Bleuravin · 12/03/2009 12:09

I'm seeing about 200pw that seem reasonable?

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:20

Good Morning

Minush - well done for getting sex in there so early in the morning fab start to the day Amira is lovely and if i can give my baby a name meaning Fairy Queen you can have one meaning Princess surely oh and dont forget to add some bling to finish off the look

Purple - moooooo oh no the jabs good luck i was a wimp and made dh take dd.

BB -bootycamp dropout! nooo, you get a cool outfit you dont really have to work out lol sit on the sidelines with me and eat chocolate instead

Boffin- well done for dropping the drug dosage (you are a strong woman!!), i would have taken my cross and whacked it over the registrars head!! cheeky git. good luck this afternoon. Oh no sorry for you missing chiro xx i think it's a home thing with your DD, she just lets loose knowing that mummy will look after her and she doesn't have to be on best behavior.

Brettgirl - have fun

Skiingone - thanks for the reassurance on the spd

BB & Boff - no snoring here and i will only wear my pom poms if you ask me nicely i'm up for a sunroof though

LuLu - my cat, scrat, hasnt come home today fergie is pining.

SpringySunshine · 12/03/2009 12:27

Argh, I wrote a whole post & the stupid laptop died

I'll try to remember what I said

minush, I love the idea of 'the country club of life' & 20 past 7 in the morning & talking about sex is an impressive way to start the day - you truly must be an April mum

BB & Boff, as if you could ever be replaced in my affections! The NCT women would keel over clutching their hearts if I said half of what I say to you lot to them! You'll always be my favourite group of pregnancy peers because you let me run wild & free with my interesting views on social etiquette & what is & isn't acceptable to tell a bunch of people I've never met

Winter coat - I have a maternity coat in a size bigger than I am & it still flaps open around my bump now. Luckily I'm beginning to be able to go out without it! (Only because I'm so full of baby that it's like having a radiator strapped to my front anyway, though!)

Good luck at the hospital, Boff. I hope they only have wonderful things to say

LuLu, you & your DD are both in the wars I hope you're back to normal soon - especially if it means you won't be MNing!

Haha, I'm sorry Boffin, but a 22 year old attention seeking in lieu of a new sibling is a great image I've read all the threads about toddlers doing it, but never imagined that your DD would Must be frustrating to live with & not so funny about the chiro appointment

Bleuravin · 12/03/2009 12:27

I have a fear that I'm going to be yelling or crying a lot once the baby is here. If I have so little energy now what will it be like then?

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:30

Springy - did dh tell you what was up with mil in the end?

OP posts:
SpringySunshine · 12/03/2009 12:30

I have my dehumidifier on & all of the doors in the flat propped open. I keep having to resist the urge to go & see if the water's crept another half a millimetre up the edge of the tank. I don't know why I'm so interested

SpringySunshine · 12/03/2009 12:31

Apparently it wasn't mentioned, Nutty. God knows. She was apparently imparting more wisdom down the phone, but he did all the 'yes yes, we'll keep that in mind' type stuff & didn't bother me with specifics afterwards. He's visiting them tomorrow for the weekend, so maybe there'll be more of an idea after that. Or maybe we'll never know

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:32

Bleu - you get used to it, the miracle that is you bambino will take over for a while too. then you manage to somehow store energy and cope very well on little sleep. your body and brain somehow clicks and learns to manage. you will be fine as will we all.

OP posts:
SpringySunshine · 12/03/2009 12:33

Bleu, I imagine it to be a different kind of no energy. & at least the lack of energy of a newborn will affect your DH as well - at the moment it's all down to us to carry them around & sustain their stupidly fast growth & somersaults. & more to the point, we'll cope because we'll have to & because there'll be an actual person to show for the effort instead of a huge lump stuck to our fronts!

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:35

Springy - lol well it is interesing at the amount of humidity a house holds i guess ah fair enough, probably better not to know really

OP posts:
SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:39

lol and for the first timers you will probably only have yourselves to blame for lack of sleep/ energy as you will spend so much time checking that the baby is ok/ double checking and mooning over the cot you will forget to sleep/ rest

this will happen even if you swear you wont be like that the pull is too strong

OP posts:
Bleuravin · 12/03/2009 12:41

Heaven forbid it affects DH too... I'm already pushing him out of bed into clothes and off to work then telling him no, no you cannot come home until you've worked at least 6.5 hrs...I really wonder what it'll be like if/when we're living in separate houses and he has to do things for himself...I'll have two messy places to clean and a baby to care for... sigh

I wish I could cancel with the 'friend today. I'm just not up for it really.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:43

Bleu - cancel then, she will understand, she should do anyhow.

OP posts:
Bleuravin · 12/03/2009 12:50

I cannot. I do not actually have her number or anything (though Dh does, or must do) but she's not so much stopping over as a social visit but because she needs a place to stop over because she's travelling a long way from somewhere to somewhere... I cannot remember the specifics.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 12/03/2009 12:51

Bleu - sorry being a bit slow.....just realised it's your DH's ex!!!!!! cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel!!!!!!! as much as i admire you for even entertaining the thought of you having her in your house tis madness!! especially when pregnant and hormonal and not feeling up to it.

baaaaaaaddddd idea!! cancel.
