Due April 2009: Episode 23 -There's no business like show business!!!

[SmuttyNuttyTaff]

Here we go

Show business may be good business but can we get on with some birthing business now please!!

BB - I have a subscription to this magazine. Mr Amano has featured in it a few times.

Schulte - What a nightmare. I hope you manage to get some rest later.

Lulu - If he's anything like my DH, he is totally oblivious to it. I flirted with him for ages before having to actually spell it out to him in no uncertain terms.
She could just be one of those women who is like that with every man. She's not worth worrying about.

Catching up, but quick post to Lulu.

It does sound like she is throwing herself at him, but frankly the dozy bint is Too Late. You are the mother of his children and he is with you. She's obviously too thick to realise this and get an available man, opting for the easy route of trying to snag one she sees every day. Lazy lazy lazy.

My DH has quite a few women throw themselves at him because he is so damn lovely. This is almost an inverted compliment as I see it - I have clearly snagged the best guy and they want a piece of what I have. The rules are simple. Look, but don't touch, because he is great to admire frankly. If you touch, I go pyscho and boil your bunny. This has been made clear to all and sundry and seems to work well. Plus DH adores me anyway, which is why he keeps wanting to have children with me, so I trust him not to be daft.

In short, laugh it off because you won the big prize and she is grovelling for leftovers.

My mdwfe asked me if I wanted to feel DD's head as she was crownng. I said to her "No I bloody well don't, can we just get on with things!".

Thanks - I guess I just feel particularly vulnerable at the moment as don't feel at all attractive so heavily pregnant.

Oh I haven't read Bizarre in ages. That is a brilliant mag.

Excellent post Boff. Don't feel angry Lulu, feel smug.

Clairey, do you not think it was a mistake signing your LO up for boxing classes??

Yes, thank you all. V. right Boffin. He is such a devoted family man and I am the one he has chosen to have babies with.

I think when I get back on my own computer which has all our pics on, I will upload lots of gorgeous family pictures onto his facebook profile (I know she facebooks him all the time).

Nice move Lulu.

That's sorted then, Lulu
Revenge via gorgeous family pix. Good solution.

I have already been using tactics that Bleu would be proud by of putting slices of home-made cake into his packed lunches (she's on a diet).

I just feel so removed from everything. I've never even met her as they work up in Brum all the time.

Luckily, with me being so heavily up the duff he is commuting home nearly every night rather than staying in a hotel up there.

Clairey - my DD has a big bruise on her forehead which matches the one on my cheekbone where she headbutted me (it was a rather overenthusiastic cuddle which left us both in tears)

oooh springy you are very close am actually very excited - think you will go soon - I am with you on most things (pregnancy mask came up this morning too, quite LO knuckle distance to cervix, wooshy head, poo but no poo which is quite painful - just need the contractions - rather than BH's to start!!!)

Schultes sorry you had a bad night and clairey don't feel bad, these things happen, he could have knocked it yesterday somewhere and the bruising only just coming up - may not have even her the little mite x

Well said boff and definitely put up some gorgeous family pics LuLu - silly cow is flirting with him but like everyone says he is oblivious and clearly not interested as he just wouldn't be so open about it all.

ooh puzzle I have never seen that mag - am learning lots about you and MM tho!!

MM - do you ever have your hands out your cervix - i don't even know where you would look to start feeling poo!!

quiet even not quite!

Lulu, if there's one thing I know about men it's that 90% of them can be won over with a slice of home made fruitcake.

good morning all!!

i've been sitting here since 8 trying to catch up!!

trista - i know you are in scotland but can't remember where...anyway the gallery taht i worked for did an exhibition of metal work by www.rathobyresforge.co.uk/ these folk. really really amazing work. and they do courses. but they are just outside of edinburgh so not sure how close that is to you.

going through the labour check list I have....NOTHING. though that's not really a bad thing since i still have 5 weeks to go.

WHen i was giving birth to DS they asked if I wanted to feel the head....yuck yuck yuck. no. i will feel it when it's OUT.
as for looking in a mirror! like i'd really want to SEE the 3rd degree tear as it happened...bleurgh.

Morning all!

Exciting potential nearly almost labourings - go Springy!

Today I am going for worst wife award. It is DH's birthday, and I had every intention of getting up with him this morning to make him a nice breakfast of French toast, which he loves, before he went to work. I went and got some lovely brioche yesterday, and some fresh OJ, and secreted them in the kitchen where he would not find them. I then had to try and convince myself to get up when the alarm goes off, as I usually just ignore it, so before going to sleep I kept thinking to myself 'get up to cook breakfast, get up to make French toast' and so on, to make it stick in my brain. I then proceeded to have the worst night's sleep. I kept waking up every 30 minutes or so and having to haul myself over onto my other side, and was going in and out of stupid dreams about French toast, and I was soooooo hot....well, when morning came, I just could not get out of bed. Plus, I think DH turned alarm off, I don't remember hearing it, and lay there awake for ages before getting up. Think poor love was waiting for me to wake up and give him a present. So he went off to work with nothing but Weetabix, and I had a nice long lie-in! So feel a bit guilty now .

Today I have to traipse down to see the MW. This should be fun as getting up to make a cuppa wears me out at the moment. Plus, I have plans to head into town afterwards in search of a butcher, a baker and a RLT-monger. That expedition should keep me occupied for most of the afternoon!

have I killed the unkillable thread???

Boff. I also thought the fruit cake might give DH the opportunity to rave about how wonderful his wife is over lunch.

Purple - Frekkles lives in the 'burgh and I believe she is an artist.

Right I've got to get DD to the swimming pool.

She's heading out of the front door on her own - eeek!

morning Ju!

don't worry about DH. i'm sure he understands.

(mental note: DH's birthday is shortly after baby is born...i should buy him something NOW)

Oh dear

I could cry.

I just spoke to the midwives and they said it would probably be a good idea to take DD out of nursery for the next couple of weeks or even until LO is born, depending on if they have any more cases of chickenpox there.

That's the end of my lovely lazy maternity leave then and it had only just started!

I also wonder what it's going to do to poor DD - not seeing her friends, staying at home with mum, then the LO arriving and THEN being sent back to nursery after a few weeks off?! So

I AM actually crying now for poor DD getting all confused when her world turns upside down in the next few weeks... I don't want this new baby...

Morning

Boffin & BB - Well everyone really sorry bout the list seems to have made everyone a tad more frustrated lol

LuLu - yay for your builders, oooohhh welsh slate!! nice! Shameless hussy!! trust your dh, you are right he wouldnt tell you these things or be so open if anything were going on.

Puzzle - OMG!!! wow!! how do you know this stuff

Springy - OOOOOHHHHHHHH sounds like you are very close!!!

Mathsmummy!!!! lol at your cervix having words with springy's

Schulte - sorry about your bad night try and get some rest where you can xx ((hugs)) xx

oh schulte!

she WILL be ok. kids are amazing. and YOU will be ok too.

just think, she gets the chance to be with you for a while before the baby comes. some DD and mummy time. (not the most relaxing time for you I admit but it will be ok!)

Tanks Purple. Yes I think she'll enjoy the mummy time but it will make it all the harder for her to go back to nursery eventually.

Shulte - ((hugs)) xx
