iggy maybe that's a sign?

[CUNextTuesday]

I only have 7 pay packets until I give birth, 8 if I'm not early.

[skihorse]

cunty In that case you need to be the sort of caaah that forces their pregnancy down the necks of everyone she knows. Organise a "baby shower" and get your "mates" to buy you everything you need.

I was thinking along the lines of directing the delighted grandparents towards pushchairs/carseats.

I know carrots has been through all this before, but have any of the rest of you bought anything yet?

[CurlyCasper]

afternoon and cheers for the advice. will have a chat with SFF later and see what booking actually involves. ski if it isn't going to cost much, I agree with paying dep then coming clean later.

hell no I haven't bought anything. Too scared to jinx it. Although mum did buy that moses basket back in September (is in loft wrapped in black bags)

[CUNextTuesday]

Bought anything??! I haven't even admitted it to myself yet!

[skihorse]

Holy bumholes - my midwife appointment is next Tuesday.

cunty haha I thought you were now at one with your baybee, heartbeat and all?

curly I can well see a time coming where I'm desperate for jailbait to piss off for a few days and stop "fussing". I am obviously going to be a bloody delight!

[iggypiggy]

I'm with cunty on this one - in denial myself - and certainly in denial that it will ever actually carry on into new year..



sorry - am not that miserable

[CUNextTuesday]

I fluctuate between acceptance and denial.

[skihorse]

Right, I'm going to hold iggy down, assuming she's wearing pants - cunty - WEDGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iggypiggy]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

[CurlyCasper]

I agree ski. You should have seen the sparkle of hope in his eyes when I said it could probably be arranged (my biggest worry was money rather than the timing). I said I'd still be at work etc. and he said he'd arrange for the dog to be looked after elsewhere (she's a bit mental and I don't fancy chasing her around a cemetery/breaking up fights at 7 1/2 months). To be honest, I might take the week off and see if his sister/my mum fancies joining me for a week of relaxation or something (she'll have just finished her uni year). That way the dog could stay and she can help. Not sure I would want to actually be left completely alone for a week (no friends near us)

s'pose I'm annoyed that SFF has kept this to himself for a week and been v quiet, making me think he's not happy about the pregnancy in general. I told him this. And cried of course.

[CurlyCasper]

[skihorse]

Crying, eating and sleeping. I'm living Coco's life. (Coco is big dog)

[givecarrotsachance]

casper is there any chance that SFF may not be happy with the pregnancy? If not then you MUST let it go. Generally blokes are really chuffed but just don't think through the consequences, especially when it's their first. They can think, well she's not due until X day so I'm ok to do what I normally do up to, say, the day before.

[CurlyCasper]

The point was that I didn't know what was upsetting him and now I do - the trip, not the pregnancy. Sorry, if I didn't make that clear enough.

[givecarrotsachance]

OIC. Oh good. The idea of the bloke not wanting it is sooo hard and it's a bit of a beacon for me having had my ex wanting me to have an abortion .

Ho hum. Glad you sorted it out!

[Aerie]

For the newly-diffed ladeez I can tell you that I didn't really begin to fell proper nausea until week 6, then, BAM it was there! Don't think you've got off scot-free just yet, (unless you're a jammy sod of course )

Other then the nausea, feeling knackered, insomnia, and blahdy de quervains tendinitis (inflammation of thumb tendons) appearing from nowhere (apparently can be associated with updiffment), I'm actually feeling pretty good.

I start a new job tomorrow, errrrrm, not great timing, but there you go. Ho hum.

Curly I too had a similar dilemma with my DH. He plays in a band (not his full-time job ) and they were supposed to tour across the pond in either May or August. Well, August is out as we'll have a few week old newborn to get to know (asssuming all goes to plan), so that leaves May. He'd be gone wks 34-36-ish and I said that if wants to go he should do. I'll still be at work, and the chances of the baby arriving early are low. He is torn between wanting to go, and worrying about not being here (a 10 hour flight away) if the baby decides to arrive early. Also, if this happened, he'd be letting his bandmates down if had to cancel last minute. I am leaving it entirely up to him.

[CurlyCasper]

Hi aerie glad you're feeling so good
Good luck tomorrow! and thanks for the advice. I'm going to let him decided, but make it clear that we need to assess the situation as we go along. should be fine.

oi vag geeze our virtual gin back!

[skihorse]

Aerie Thanks for the head's up - I got strong waves last night driving home but I think that might've been empty tummy as much as anything else. Boobs are definitely starting to increase in size though... and I'm glad to report I only woke up at 12, 3 and 5 this morning so that's a real improvement!

Of course the advantage of you being at the end of a 10 hour flight is that he'll miss any la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you icky stuff and he'll waltz in at the stage where the fluffy white cotton wrapped bambino is sleeping on your chest and you've had a chance to brush your hair and wipe the grime from your face & stop crying.

How are all you other lovely PESHes?

[CurlyCasper]

completely symptom free today. No cramps or nuffink. don't like it. I want to feel pregnant!

(P.S I know I will regret saying this, particularly when I'm about to barf on VIP guests at work in a couple of weeks' time )

[skihorse]

Curly I'm very proud of myself, it was nearly HALF PAST NINE when I went to bed last night!

[CurlyCasper]

well done ski!

[skihorse]

I'm gutted. I was watching Ocean's 12 and really enjoying it and then realised I was missing a few minutes at a time due to being asleep. Bums.

I rode last night - got to admit I was a bit nervous for the first 5 minutes or so especially as there was nobody else at the yard and I was thinking "who's gonna pick me up when I fall off and DI-EEE?" but obviously nothing untoward happened and Ginger is still sniffing my tummy and being sweet.
