any old ttc from our old thread out there ie, laughalot , peachy, trace2 , now you must know we mean you

[trace2]

come on where are you all

I've a feeling its a girl just cos DP was so adament that he wasn't having a girl! lol

Everything is set here, got me pool and me ball and TENS machine, just waiting for baby.

Well nursery isn't done yet but DP has officially started his paternity leave today (off till Feb 3rd) so we'll get that finished in no time.

Hows everything going in the NATJANE household?

Awww, poor DP, got to put up with a girl and has a nursery to do LOL

Are you more excited, or scared?

Everything, apart from today seems to be going OK I think! Had a few ups and downs the last couple of months with various bugs, illnesses and stuff going on with DS1, but all of that seems to be behind us now - fingers crossed! I've no more room in my brain today to think of anything else going wrong!

He'll be fine! lol. He's getting annoyed at the slowness of it all. As he said yesterday. I was meant to be a daddy by now.

I'm excited... I've got this thing in my head that it'll hurt but be worth it, I'm trying to think of labour as a job to do. If I don't just get on with it, i'm gonna end up in hospital for 2 days (that's how long my hospital make you stay in for) so stop wingeing and get on with it!

I think alot of people have been abit rough over xmas. Been a cold winter this time.
Hope DS1 feels better and you do too. Have you told DH about today?

Awww bless him, it is such a hard time for them, at least we kind of have a hand in things, they just have to wait!

There is no getting away from it, Labour hurts, BUT, it is more than worth it, all of it And I expect being at home it will be lovely I had a home birth planned with DS2, but had to be induced after getting pre-ecampsia, so it went out of the window.

Yeah DH knows, I called him upstairs when it happened! He is trying to run around and 'do the right thing', it is just that neither him or I know what the right thing is.

I don't know if it'll work but how about a nice warm bath and glass of wine? (or fruit juice if you'd rather) Take time out for yourself.

Had a bath at lunch time, that's where I was when it happened, and had the wine already lol DH did a lovely roast dinner, so we opened it then.

Ohh roast dinner! Got any leftovers? Actually I'm not allowed, DP is making me curry tonight. In his words "i'm getting this baby out" lol.

Left overs? In this house, you must be joking lol

Awww bless him He is gonna be so proud Still remember my sister telling me how proud DH sounded when he rang her to tell her DS1 was born, makes me smile even now thinking about it, and that was nearly 6 years ago!

He went into work on Friday (was due on Thursday) and everyone was asking him if baby had been born etc. His answers were "yeh of corse i'm just that heartless that i've come into work anyway" and "no, but it WILL be tonight!" lol

LOL You do realise that in a couple of weeks he will be holding him/her all the time, the only time you get a look in is feeding and changing times

Oh yeh, I've been told this.
In fact he told me in front of his mother that when the baby needs changing I can "borrow" him/her but he's having the fun stuff, not the dirty stuff. MIL's face was an absolute picture. He got a telling off, was like he was a teenager again "you were raised changing your brothers/sisters nappies, you can change these" and "your 1/2 the reason that child is in there you WILL do your share!" lol

LMAO I did let DH 'get away' with the first couple of weeks of not changing, purely because he was so scared he'd hurt them with his big heavey man hands, I was worried that through nerves he actually would! But after the first month, he did/does his fair share (and more at the weekends!!)

Apparently, DP will be looking after the baby, I'll be looking after the cats and pumping breast milk. lol. Unless the baby needs changing them i'm allowed to "borrow it" lol.

Funny ol thing men! Right i'm going to get him out of bed now so he can make me my curry and I can go for bath. Starving.

Try and keep your chin up and let us know how the docs go (if you go)

Big hugs for you and Mr NatJane.

OK, keep us up to date, gonna get these into bed anyway.

Speak soon xxxxx

Just a quick one to say no baby.
MW came today and says 3/5 engaged and sweep on thursday.

Hope your all ok
XXX

I've got everything crossed for you Jen xx

Sorry I forgot to update today, the baby came away this morning, been a shite day to say the least. Woke up with instant pregnant belly (did exactly the same with George) gone from my very much loved size 12's (which took me 13 months to fit back into) to my 18's that I had from just after I'd had George, with the button un-done

Already had someone comment behind my back, not nastily, just usual titterings of 'do you think she is pregnant?' 'she is isn't she' 'or is she just fat?' (OK I added the last one, but you know the kind of thing I'm on about) and another mum who came right out and asked if I was expecting no.3. Could have just curled up into a ball and cried right there in the playground

Instead I made an uncomfortable situation worse by looking at her in a dumb silence that lasted a bit too long and then mumbled 'not any more' and walked off. I couldn't have stayed chatting to her. Now feel bad and will apologise tomorrow, she must have felt awful.

Anyway, sorry I am rambling again, obviously I am just trying to take up the time for us all waiting for Jen's news!

Love to all, keep us updated Jen! xxxx

hi natjane, so sorry sweetie Just wanted to acknowledge your post. Im sorry I dont really know what to say.
((((hugs))) xx pcm

Hiya PCM, long time no see, how are things? You must be nearly due by now?

Thanks for your post, it does mean a lot.

I got it wrong about the woman from yesterday, she proceeded to tell all her cliquey bloody mates and now everyone it seems knows about it. One of them came and said something about it, not just seeing if I was OK, more trying to get a bit more gossip to regale everyone with, whilst I was with DS1 this morning, he is 5 FFS, did she think he would know what the hell was going on?

Anyway ss, c'mon Jen, news please, I said once an hour, not a day.

Good luck PCM, would be good to see you around a bit more

heeeeey natjane.....(((hugs))) for you today, sound like you could do with them.
Am so cross with the women in the playground - ffs
Why, why, why on earth do people feel the need to be so greedily nosy of other peoples business????!!! It really gets my goat more than anything.
I hope your dh is looking after you hun, come and talk on here anytime you need to, I know when ive been feeling low about things it does sometimes help to vent it to the oblivion of cyberspace. Hopefully others will be along who have maybe had similiar (sad) experiences and will be able to share...
Seems wrong now to chatter about my due date etc......
im 38 weeks on this thursday and feeling very ready!
hope you get through this difficult time ok nj xxxxxx

Don't feel bad for talking about your pregnancy, I love baby news Even after this. Would hate for anyone to feel uncomfortable about talking about it.

Yes DH is being the diamond that he always is, he isn't always sure what to do for the best because my moods are everywhere, but he is being very good.

38 weeks? Not long to go Are you all ready? Do you know if it is a girl or a boy?

Thanks hun.
No we dont know if we are having a boy or girl - some days we convince ourselves a boy, other days, seems normal to expect a girl to arrive in our midst! Just waiting for a happy suprise. I have 16 days now till my official due date - am really hoping I dont go overdue, as I feel like a whale! Big bump - see piccies in my profile! Also not getting very much sleep whatsoever and feeling restless. I cant believe I am actually at the point discussing the impending birth of my baby!!! Seems for so long it looked like never becoming a reality, and now....just a few weeks away.
Just goes to show you never can tell...
Seem to have everything ready, babys room all finished, looks gorgeous, keep having a little wander in their to sit in the armchair and just think little thoughts to myself.
Been pracising with pushchair up and down today, silly isnt it - im sure it will become second nature, but i just had to have this little practice session so i could cross it off my "to do" list!!
hope to chat again soon
xxxxxxxx

Wow, now that is a BUMP!!!!!!! You look really good, proper pregnancy glow

I used to go into the baby's room's before they arrived just to sit and think about them and stuff, even as far as just imagining standing at the changer doing their nappies, or putting them down into the cot, sounds a bit silly now, but you are allowed a bit of sillyness in pregnancy surely?!

And yes, practise the pram, I still haven't gotten used to it!

Take care of yourself, and keep us updated xxx

hello you two nat your really young looking[wink[

Hi girls,

No baby (can't update too often as DP has now started his paternity leave and gets moody if i'm on comp too much, sorry)

Was kept up all night last night with backache so been sleeping most of the day. DP making me another curry at the mo.
