Oh my god, can't believe I'm going to complain about this again but I've just been reduced to tears by another one of the SIL's helpful suggestions. To be fair I have been tearful all day but have just spent five minutes properly sobbing. She emailed to ask if I had thought about high chairs because she has just been round to her friend who has a baby and she saw her high chair and thinks it's the best one. I politely wrote back to say that yes I had thought about high chairs but would not be purchasing one until a few months after she is born as it's something I don't need right now. What's upsetting me is that all these messages just make me feel like everyone already thinks I've not got a clue or I've got terribly new fangled ideas that are going to make me a bad mother. And again it's this thing of not letting me find my own way, I cannot stand someone trying to lead me all the time, it's not who I am and it's not who I've ever been or will be and it is driving me insane! And whats worse is this comes after my OH had a chat with her but presumably he only told her not to buy random stuff, didn't tell her to stop badgering me x
Update: poor OH called me (he is working today) after I text message ranted and I burst into tears as soon as he answered the phone. He was calling to say he had rung his mum and told her that she has to speak to his sister before I go insane. Fortunately his mum said she knows exactly what she is like and that she will tell her that it needs to stop. I think now he has heard how upset I was he will definitely put his foot firmly down! X
Hi ladies, I've been a bit quiet as we have been busy with the mood and settling back into life in the uk! Pretty excited. Felt something strange with I thought was movement two weeks ago, me said it was too early! Kept feeling it and now it is stronger I am definitely sure it's the baby moving. Was actually starting to feel it on the outside and let oh feel it, he thought he could feel something, so freaking excited!

I'm so relieved I've definitely felt baby this morning 4 flutters, then another 3 then 1 more all in the same place 
Bump is growing at a rate of knots too. I was buying sun cream for my holidays in 2 weeks time yesterday and the assistant in Boots asked if I'm still safe to fly without a midwife letter! This was my first pregnancy comment from a stranger too so I must be pretty big!!!
Knopk congratulations on team pink and Wifey hope you're feeling better soon.

Morning all. Rose I really do hope it all settles down for you. It would drive me insane. X
Lozza hope you are all settled in and so glad you are feeling baby. Your OH must be so pleased too. I can't wait til my OH can feel baby moving.
Baker_Baby nice to hear you are feeling baby too.
Happy 19 weeks Littlebean x
Had a nice day away yesterday but was on my feet all day so feel a bit sore. Mainly in my hips. Had a good sleep last night though x

Just when I think I've got the family issues sorted out...my brother just rang to say he had had to have it out with my mum and tell her just how awful she was when his daughter was born 4 months ago and therefore why I don't want them staying with me when I have my baby. He was totally honest and just laid it all out so she apparently just ended up in hysterical tears and my dad had to take the phone off her. So now it's up to me to call them and basically have the same conversation. I really do not need this stress - bloody families!
Loving everyone's bumps! Also makes me feel better as mine seems to be about the same size as everyone else which is good x

Hi ladies,
Not been on here for ages as I ave had the most horrendous cold (like wifey) and was in SOOO much pain with my sinuses. I got. Neti pot (think that's what they are called) and you fill it with warm salt water and pour it enough your nostrils. It's pretty horrendous but omg it really took away a lot of the pain. Starting to feel more human now.
I've had a really busy weekend trying to get the house ready to put on the market. Went to the skip 6 times yesterday. Feels good to clear out loads of crap!
goat - you probably already sorted by now but those are definitely UTI symptoms. I used to suffer do them badly. Hope you get sorted out. Drink LOT AND LOTS of water. Really helps clear things out.
I have been panicking about not feeling the baby. I'm 19 weeks tomorrow. My school has a children's centre attached and they have a midwife who comes so she is going to let me listen to the heartbeat on Tuesday but she said it is very normal to not feel anything until 21-22 weeks, especially if you have very strong stomach muscles which I think I do (or at least did!). Iv been a nervous wreck thinking something is wrong but hopefully i will relax after hearing baby.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I have been going a little Pinterest crazy and getting some nursery ideas together. Going for a lilac and grey theme (if it's definitely a girl). Very exciting. Anyone else starting to think about this?

Thanks wifeywifey ur bump looks very neat. Great pic.
Rose good luck. It sounds as though you might need it.
Lilac sorry you've been so unwell but glad you're starting to feel better. I'm sure everything will be fine with baby. I love listening to the heartbeat and the movements. Our nursery is done. We've just kept to neutral colours and then once we know what we are having we will add little bits. We just wanted to be super organised

We're having a jungle themed nursery, it's my mission to decorate during the summer holiday and use my sister (who's a Uni student) as unpaid labour, haha! Going to paint it creamy yellow with grass painted all around the room, as well as animal stickers. Thought that would be good for a girl or boy (refuse to stereotype with pink or blue!) lilac and grey sounds lovely! I saw a nice orange and grey one which worked really well.
So exciting!!!!
