Ouches. OUCHES not fecking orchestra! Confused Hmm

Pixielady83 · 07/01/2014 15:19

Ahh another baby! Congratulations pumpkin! Smile Thanks Smile Hope she gets her temp control working ok soon. What an excellent 24 hours for the thread Smile

scater - what saggy said, the pains are totally normal - with my first pregnancy I was convinced it was actually a UTI. It was just pregnancy symptoms but the two can feel quite similar.

Congratulations pumpkin . Hope your LO sorts out her temperature control soon, but until then a fabulous excuse for extra cuddles!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 07/01/2014 16:35

Hurrah for baby pumpkin :) the image of you and baby all snuggled up just made me happy-cry!

Gosh it's all happening today what w way to start the year - Christine you're at the top of the list!

I do like the unintentional image of our bodies being an orchestra - although I usually get drum rolls and cymbal clashes from the bubba but he definitely seems more of a triangle today. Have had hardly any good boots from him, not even the usual kick-me-in-the-groin-when-I-need-the-loo ones I'm used to. Had a few gentle taps though, so trying not to worry. Perhaps he had turned around :)

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 07/01/2014 16:39

NO NO NO NO! I'm 31 weeks on thursday. I'm not having a baby for at least 6 weeks!

fod27 · 07/01/2014 16:57

Ok girls - here's one for the AIBU page, however I don't want to post on there as I've heard bad things, some of you may recall that my little brother had made a shock announcement that he has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer, he then gathered all the family together (after weeks of appointments and medication and further hospital trips to specialists) to inform us all that he had 6 months left to live. I spoke to my mum regarding her will and requested that his share of the inheritance be passed to him now so that he could enjoy his last few months, we were meant to marry alone on a beach abroad and decided to bring the service forward and do it here (in a time frame of 8 weeks) so he could give me away.

My brother then sat to charities, mountain climbs etc to raise funds and awarness - I was so proud that I nominated him for the pride of Britian awards and my step brother wanted our local paper to do a piece on him.

After a falling out between my brother and another step brother he was accused of lying about his condition, the family was up in arms as you can imagine (the brothers shared a house at the time) the step brother went through my brothers belongings, medication etc - this caused further altercations between my mother and step father. Apparently my step brother knew someone at the hospital and said person had informed him that my brother wasn't on the system

Following this my little brother went AWOL for days, my mother finally contacted him and took him to his GP - my brother produced a letter stating his condition from the surgery (my mum never spoke to him) and it transpired that it all had been a lie ;,( we had all taken time off work, my mum had remortgaged the house for funeral costs and his inheritance etc we had gotten into debt over our impending vows etc, my mum became incredibly ill and collapsed

My mum then took him in, he was arrested as my step brother contacted everyone he knew to tell them the truth/ turned on his father and my mother (he said vile things to them both) and he reported him to the police. We have not spoken since, even when I visit the sight of him makes my blood boil and I hate him being anywhere near my children
He is in court tomorrow and will be sentenced to a custodial sentence. It's only today that he has seen fit to contact me to apologise. I haven't replied to the spineless text. Soooo al I being unreasonable?

ChristineDaae · 07/01/2014 17:04

Oh fod! What an awful situation for you all! Has anyone got to the bottom of why he would lie about something so horrible?! Was it just about money? I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this.
What was it he was actually arrested for?
In my opinion yadnbu in not responding, I can't even imagine how hurt you must all be Sad

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 07/01/2014 17:05

Crikey! Its a good long time ago, but was it you back on the TTC thread who was worried about ttc in case you needed to donate bone marrow?
Even if it wasn't, what a shit thing to do to you all! Sad Angry If by chance it was, thank god you didn't let it delay TTC! Shock
How could anyone do such a thing to their families?! I have a few low lives in my own family, but even they have never stooped to this! YADNBU! He would be dead to me!

Emki · 07/01/2014 18:32

Wow I have missed so much!

santa a huge congratulations - so lovely to think of you with your baby boy. Well done!

scater welcome - how exciting to have twins! so sorry about your loss before - can't imagine how awful that must have been. I lost one at 20 wks last year and that was bad enough.

So I've just had my 20 wk scan - obviously a big milestone for me - and all is well - so I am going to try and be positive now! Phew!

penguin boo about delayed 20 wk scan and boo about slipping over! Hope you are okay xx

Emki · 07/01/2014 18:43

fod I didn't see update the page and just seen your post - how awful for you all - what a nightmare - why would anyone lie about such a thing? thinking of you x

fod27 · 07/01/2014 18:44

He was referred to a physiatrist after the fact act he attempted suicide (he contacted me to inform me of what he had taken etc and then asked me not to inform my mum) I got a cousin to collect him and take him to hospital (my DC where out playing at the time and I thought it was too much it a horrific situation to put my DC in ESP as DH was away working) the hospital deemed him a risk and so he was kept in and assessed. He has never spoken to me about it since other than today (via text) and he has never given a explanation

He worked with mental Heath documents and doctored them/accessed other records to make his story 'believable' he will be charged with fraud I think (I haven't been to the hearings etc)

saggy yes it was me that was looking into being a marrow match - what angers me more is it was a week after we had discovered our MMC that he made his announcement and the same week that DH had taken me out for the day to cheer me up before my return to work post mc he decided to tell us he was terminal

pgchimp · 07/01/2014 18:51

wow, congrats to pumpkin on the new arrival and to emki on the scan, you must be so relieved.

fod, that is just awful. yadnbu in not replying, just ignore him until you feel ready (if ever). in any event a text is not an apology.

fod27 · 07/01/2014 18:51

I had told someone I thought I trusted at work (we no longer speak) and tbh I think it's played a hand in the crap I've been having at work with my colleagues. It's so unfair! I hate visiting my mum because he's there but if I don't take the kids to see her she misses out on her grand kids (his partner left him prior announcement then they got together sgain and re split) so my children are the only ones she sees. She wants to sell up and move away because she's scared that once it becomes public knowledge that people will put her windows through etc

fod27 · 07/01/2014 18:55

pg that's what angers me, the text! I was even there this morning dropping some shopping off for mum and he still said nothing - yet when he spun his lies he even wanted to sit my DC down and tell them himself! I never did tell my kids at the time as I thought it was too much too young as the mc had already taken away so much if their childhood (they are 9 and 12)

Lieslvontrapp · 07/01/2014 19:22

Congrats pumpkin on the arrival of your little girl! What a fab 24 hrs!

Emki congrats on the 20 wk scan. I take it youre still team yellow?

Saggy I know what u mean. How did I get to 2nd on the stats! Only 8 working days left! Woo hoo!

Fod yes I remember from the ttc thread about your brother. I can't believe it all turned out to be a lie! That's absolutely terrible!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 07/01/2014 19:31

Oh Fod. I'm so sorry. What a shit situation. Your poor Mum. Sad
Im so sorry that your mum is keeping him around. I don't think I'd be so forgiving. Sad

thepiggotupandslowlywalkedaway · 07/01/2014 19:39

Christ almighty fod. Some of my family have had myeloma and it is a shitty, shitty way to go. To pretend you've got it and do that to your own family... words fail me. I can only assume that there is some sort of mental illness in play there (and that is me feeling charitable). I'm so sorry you've all had your life messed up so much, and hope your mum finds a peaceful place to be and live.

On a cheerier note, congratulations Santa. Go, tiger lady!

Congratulations, too, to Pumpkin!

Hooray for good scans as well!

kjh5 · 07/01/2014 20:20

Crikey fod that's awful. Although this is the second time I've heard of this happening. My BF's fiancé did it to her three years ago. Pretended he had a brain tumour - he gave himself a year to live. Basically he was terrified she was going to leave him (she did, she was having second thoughts about the wedding). Plus I think he also enjoyed the attention it got him. It's an awful thing to do to people who love you. She left him and won't have anything to do with him. He has a 5-year-old son, I can't believe anyone would put their DCs through something like that! It's shameful!

kjh5 · 07/01/2014 20:23

Ooh - yay on the scan news Emki! I really enjoyed my 20-week scan, although had a 24 hour period of feeling completely bewildered as it was all suddenly
So much more real! Xx
