Josie, your pg definitely wouldn't be any less special than your colleagues. She'll have to bear the brunt of the annoying questions and belly-rubbing. And when you actually have the baby, she'll have less time left of maternity leave. And your other colleagues will have had practice making lovely cups of tea which you will be spoiled with automatically. Plus, when you get up duffed it will be special and exciting, she'll be old hat by then, and you get to ride in and steal her thunder .

babylann, I agree. I think it's the I in SWI that gets you. It's all the hard (!) work only for ERTD to come and taunt you with the cramps and the ick and the bad moods.

I took DH's surname when we got married. I wish I had pushed for him to take mine. We both agreed that we wanted to have the same surname as our kids but in hindsight I liked my name much better :(. DH's is ugly and harsh sounding and awkward. Mine was a lovely soft-sounding Irish one. I was a bit of a child-bride (21) and didn't give it enough thought.

JosieSmith1 · 03/02/2011 08:55

Thanks Practically it's the belly rubbing and questions that I want, but I understand it'll get old hat pretty quick, and she won't get maternity pay so ha to her

It's very hard today again but I have made a decision that I need to take a step back from the whole thing, so, unfortunately, I have decided to take a break from MN. I need to relax and stop thinking about it so much and I'm on here constantly so it's not helping.

I love all you viroids, you've been so so good to me, but I need to get it out of my head, I didn't sleep a wink last night thinking about it and I've become too obsessive. I will lurk and post occassionally, and feel free to send me PMs, especially when people get BFPs, but other than that I will be takin a leave of absence

(waves and hands out choccy bars to everyone)

babylann · 03/02/2011 09:25

Aww :( Sorry to hear you're leaving Josie. Hopefully you'll feel better (or preferably get a BFP) soon.

PracticallyImperfectInEveryWay · 03/02/2011 09:26

Sorry Josie .

Sorry to see you go, wishing you all the best.

Couldn't leave without saying:

Practically you don't always say the wrong thing, you made me smile, which is difficult to do right now

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 03/02/2011 10:06

Lizzy - I can't understand why people are so daft like that - if you know your child has a different surname why on earth wouldn't you tell the school/person on the phone that??
Obviously, I have no problem with them thinking my kids have my name , but if DH rang and they assumed his name, I'd be fuming!
I believe that surname is justas an important part of the name as the first names, so if you give your name, you should give it all. (well, maybe not middle names....)
If i rang a school, I'd say "hello, it's nickelbabe here, DDfirstname surname's mum.
If they had the same name, i wouldn't bother.

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 03/02/2011 10:08

babylann - why don't you do the composite name then? I know it's more complicated cos you already have DCs....
or You can keep your own surname on marriage and still let the kids have their dad's name.
I just couldn't give up my name to become someone else.

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 03/02/2011 10:13

Practically - there's nothing to stop you changing it now - can't be any more of an inconvenience than you having to change your name when you got married.

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 03/02/2011 10:15

Josie - it's fine, it'll all be fine.
When your colleague gets morning sickness, you can wallow in it (but not to her face) and be glad it's not you yet.
Make sure you give her as much sympathy as poss, that way she'll be sympathetic when it's your turn. :)

aquavit · 03/02/2011 13:02

Josie sorry you have to go, but I agree with the others it will DEFINITELY all be fine.

Actually, it might be really good to have someone you know pregnant at (fingers crossed) a similar time to you: especially, if you both go back to work after you've had your babies, you might find it really helpful to have someone there with whom you can have all the baby conversations, and with whom you can BAND TOGETHER to make sure that you are treated considerately, given fair hearing for flexitime, or whatever it might be. It's hard to feel it now but it could be GREAT. Anyway, I keep my fingers crossed for you.

NervousNelly · 03/02/2011 13:43

Aww Josie :( Sorry to see you go. I know what you mean though. Have to say that the horses keep it all in perspective for me. That's not to say I don't feel sad every time ERTD turns up, but that I refuse to let TTC be the only thing that defines me. Easier said than done, I know. Very best of luck, and I hope we see you over on the other side soon :)
