MOLLIE am so at your ILs - that is horrible. Have you heard from MIL why they haven't invited you to meet him ? How rude !

Sparkly I have been emailed a 20% BM thingy and you get the vouchers in baby mags quite often too. Not sure what Fruity used, no doubt she has a cunning plan - if not I'll forward on email. I LOVE Louis and had it on my list but DP wasn't keen so it didn't make the shortlist . I say go for it !

Ei good news that no AF yet, BFN a PITA but maybe still too early - maybe DD is right afterall ...

Lola good luck with your busy week, take it easy and enjoy TT, they were amazing . Am also very of baby shower - I only know 1 person who has had one, they are not commonplace up here in the sticks !

Oh my word - am watching Andy Murray - nail biting stuff !

SmilingEi · 29/06/2009 21:12

evening ladies
mibbes maybe DD is right only time will tell and the million 10 pe sticks i bought from babymad earlier
sparkly i am feeling a bit better after my lovely bath which DH drew for me with bubbles and scented candles i feel very well taken care of just waiting for my tea now (potato wedges with green and red pesto and garlic mayo mmmm) and i will be a happy girl indeed im gonna post a link to my chart so you girls can analyse it to your hearts content
i was a bit silly earlier and had a little look on a few sites at baby slings and changing bags a girl can only dream eh?!! still it di make me feel a bit and and i really had to stop myself from buying a snazzy sling i saw on one website as it was gorgeous i mite even put a lnk on for it as i want to be able to share in the conversational joy

FruitynNutty · 29/06/2009 21:25

Mollie I'm also very at your ILs. Doesn't make sense at all!
Sparkly We had a cat called Louis when I lived with my Mum. I can't work out if I like it or not I just asked DP and he says he really likes it I think I just can't get the cat link out of my head - don't listen to me though . I really like Beau at the moment or Bo (prefer Beau). I think It's an absolutely gorgeous name - Any thoughts on that one? I've been saying Lara and Louis over and over. It's quite hard to say but you could say Louis and Lara, rolls off the tongue easier. Or Lara and Beau!
I got the 20% off with the voucher you get with the catalogue

Everyone's watching the tennis! Every status on FB is about Andy Murray. Am I the only one who just doesn't get it?

Not only is everyone having baby showers, but they are also all going to see TT - Even Dippy Dawn on Eastenders has been bought a ticket for her birthday

Sparkly Why are you ironing? I haven't ioned anything for about 2 years - actually, that's a lie, I ironed Charlie's white shirt fo DP's Grandad's funeral about 3 weeks ago
Please stop with the ironing! It's not necessary

SparklyPseudonym · 30/06/2009 09:40

Fruity I don't usually iron for that long but I'm fed up of rushing around in the morning (and having to iron DD's clothes). Not sure about Beau - It's a bit too trendy for me . I was watching the tennis too. It's the only sport I enjoy watching (and rugby of course).
Ei I'm so glad S spoilt you. Bless him. Where is this chart? Any news today?
Mibbes I just spotted a 20% off thing on BM website with a code. I'm trying so hard not to buy that bag but I think the bag will win.

Exciting day here - am going to Tesco in a while.....might just get my fix of Discovery Home and Health first.

Molliemooma · 30/06/2009 09:44

As you can see I had my previous post withdrawn, this was because my SIL saw it, I don't know if it was coincidence or for how long my posts have been read for. I can understand why SIL/BIL are upset and it was never meant maliciously but I also hope they can see the reason why DH and I are upset too.

SparklyPseudonym · 30/06/2009 09:50

What an invasion of your privacy [grr]. There is no way that post could have been seen by accident, especially in a conception board??!! You've done nothing wrong by asking for some advice and look what everyone has said - you have every right to feel upset. As if you need this stress when you're having a crap enough time already. Take it easy chick. Chin up xxxxxxxxxxxx

SparklyPseudonym · 30/06/2009 09:51

That [grr] was meant to be an [a ngry][ang ry][angry ][ angry][an gry][angr y] [a ngry][ang ry]

SparklyPseudonym · 30/06/2009 09:51

Didn't work quite as well as I wanted it to but you get the picture.

HerNameWasLola · 30/06/2009 12:17

Mollie you know my views on this, but at Sparkly's post Sparkly I would have loved to have seen your face after you posted! Don't you hate it when that happens!

Mollie you have so many more important things to think about at the moment, if members of your own family can't see that, and don't appreciate how much you have on your plates and how much stress you are going through then sod 'em all. You should have every right to feel that amongst Friends you can say whatever you need to, especially with everything you're going through atm, without worrying that you're being spied on. Of course we all look at other threds from time to time, that's what mn is all about, but there is a world of difference between surfing other threads and reading posts by people whose real life ID's you know. A girl I work with is on here, I know her nickname but I would never go looking for her posts, if she wants to tell me how she's feeling at a particular time that's up to her, I have no business reading things that quite clearly were not intended for me. Sorry for the rant but I feel really strongly about this. I just can't imagine what she was thinking coming onto this thread in the first place if she knew you were posting. IMO it is nosey, prying, and beyond rude and it is not you who should be apologising.

So there! I imagine if she's still lurking I'm firmly off her christmas card list now! Someone should tell her that no one ever hears any good of themselves by listening in to others' conversations, which it seems to me is what she's done.

Fruity postman's just been, nothing () Will have to wait til tom! xx

teeheelaydee · 30/06/2009 12:19

No time now but that your posts are being read and for someone who is so busy with a new baby I can't believe that they have time to check here (particularly with all the friends and family they are seeing!)

You should be able to say what you like here, it was never meant for their ears/eyes. If they don't want to risk hearing stuff they don't like they should stay away.

Ooo I'm irrate!

FruitynNutty · 30/06/2009 13:19

I'm lost for words I'm afraid Mollie . As if you haven't been through enough. I'm sorry you have to deal with people like this

SmilingEi · 30/06/2009 14:37

mollie what a horrible in vasion of your privacy!! and how rude of your SIL to pull you up about it!! i think lola has spelt it out rather eloquently!! not impressed at your SIL piling the stress on when you are in need of rest and relaxation!!
i meant to say to you aswell mollie we are down in gloucestershire camping in july for 4 days for the airshow did you say you live nearish to there??

well here is my chart i have had a little bit more spotting today so we'll see how that pans out

hope all is well
xx ei xx

SparklyPseudonym · 30/06/2009 15:32

Lola You always have the right words. I'm gutted my faces didn't work. I can't even manage a simple copy and paste haha.
Ei Stay away spotting!!! Which days are you in Glouc? That's not too far away from me either. Maybe we can have a meet up in the South.
Fruity Gorge piccies of J on FB. He's divine.

I managed a tesco shop this morning and then a lovely bit of lunching. Think I'll make up for it with a bit of hoovering (or a nap?).

Mollie Two sleeps my love. Hope you're not too stressed and taking it easy at work today.

BellaHarry · 30/06/2009 16:31

Mollie don't feel bad, you didn't say anything rude just needed to get it off your chest how upset you were by it.

Fruity I'm with you on the ironing; sparkly stop ironing (grin)

Lola I shall be leaving between 32 and 34 weeks next time as it was about then o got all teary and'stabby' as DH would say (grin) I actually read some research about working late on pg and low birth weight/early delivery.

I am hot, hot, hot today! Sweating so much the flies are living on me! (Tmi) popped out for hair cut and breast pads and couldn't bend my ankles for the swelling! Yuk. Had an interesting twinge last night; been having frequent pain in cervix for a few weeks now but this caught me by suprise, I screamed and scratched DH, who (bless him) moved me over the birth ball and started breathing with me! I think he thought that was it...not sure what it was but must be good right? Is it possible that cervix is shortening and as I've had so much prodding and cutting there I'm feeling it? Or am I clutching at straws and shall be forced to stick out this unbearable heat with a huge bump for another 6 wks?!! ...please no (sad)

BellaHarry · 30/06/2009 16:34

Ok so blackberry and emoticons don't mix (blush) ..see!

FruitynNutty · 30/06/2009 16:59

Bella Re the low birth weight/early delivery, With C I worked until 38 weeks, he was 12 days late and weighed 9lb12oz. With J I worked until the day before my c-section at 39+3 and he would have been late (I just know it) and he weighed 8lb5oz, so I completely disagree with that bit of info!
If it's true I'm gonna give up really early next time! - say 37.5 weeks

HerNameWasLola · 30/06/2009 17:09

Bella my mw told a friend of mine the same thing re low b'weight and early delivery, think it's linked to stress. She was measuring small at 34 weeks and the mw said it was prob cos she was working such long hours and that the baby would prob catch up once she was on mat leave, cos your body can only do so much at once, and if you're that stressed and exhausted a lot of energy has to go into keeping you going, some of which would otherwise be diverted to baby. Not a nice thought is it? So Fruity I think you're just very good at dealing with stress, either that or if you'd stopped early Charlie would have been a 12lb whopper

It's too bloody hot. Actually, it's not the heat that gets me, it's the humidity. What is going on today? We're meant to be in England!! Oh my poor feet.... goodness knows what they'll be like after tomorrow night... I assume no-one's feet have ever got so swollen they've actually exploded...?!?

No word from Georgie or Scully for a bit.... what could they be up to...?!?!

Sparkly nap every time! I hoovered this morning, nearly killed me!

Ei not sure about your chart my love, it's a tricky one this month... Have you ever printed them out and shown them to your consultant? Just a thought. Keeping everything crossed that the witch stays away

BellaHarry · 30/06/2009 18:02

fruity I'm with Lola on this; you're just a cool cucumber, you always seem so calm even surrounded by demanding children! I think you cope so well you should have mine from time to time too!

SparklyPseudonym · 30/06/2009 19:59

I think it's a total myth about the work and early delivery/prem thing too. I finished work at 29 weeks (it was the summer holidays!) and DD wasn't born until 42+1 and weighed 8lb 6oz (which I know isn't as whopping as Charlie but Fruity does have a lovely long tummy to house those tall ones in). I'll def find myself a job and work until 40 weeks if I means I go into labour on time and have a light(er) one.

FruitynNutty · 30/06/2009 20:16

Cool cucumber? Moi?
I'd love you to say that to DP! He thinks I'm uptight!

FruitynNutty · 30/06/2009 21:18

I'm still not convinced btw

I need hard evidence!

Then, next time, I will work till the end and seriously stress myself out as much as is humanly possible without having a breakdown - see if it works

teeheelaydee · 30/06/2009 21:42

I'd heard that too and as you know I had the longest mat leave EVER and had a tiddler - he was on time though.

BUT.....

forget the science - it's just fun to stop working!

FruitynNutty · 30/06/2009 21:58

I reckon, if I had the choice, I would have stopped at 37 weeks. Just to give myself a rest before the big day - although I was incredibly bored when I gave up work at 38 weeks with C Oh I dunno.
Do any of you new Mummies really want another baby right now?
No?
Oh, ok, just me then!

HerNameWasLola · 30/06/2009 22:13

Just you watch yourself Fruity, def not your turn to get pg next

On the work/not work thing I reckon doing anything that exhausts you and leaves you a stressed out mess is a bad plan in late pg, whether it's work or whatever. To use the slightly creepy phrase, it's all about 'listening to your body', and my body says sitting in the garden eating cake is much better for LO than running around the various court centres of Hampshire - I've got a very clever body haven't I ladies?!?

My feet are SOOOOOOOOO SORE and swollen .... Quite worried what they'll be like tomorrow... oh well. Am sure I'll survive I'll give the boys your love shall I ladies?

HerNameWasLola · 30/06/2009 22:15
