****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

Well full house and garden clean up today for me (okay oH did the garden after work) So super exciting day haha. Pulled out the pregnant card and got my next years holiday re sorted to the actual holiday with no changes :dance: I'm so dozy I don't know how I managed to book the completely wrong place and not even notice haha. OH won't shut up about it :roll: And feeling no guilt at ordering a takeaway because I'm dying (maybe a craving?) for an Indian curry. Even though Ill probably be on here complaining about a dodgy tummy later on from the spice or my acid reflux lol.

Laura hope you got some viable options today hun xx

Happy weekend girlies. :dance:
 
Shan I have to laugh lol. Did you really?! How omg! You must really have a bad baby brain case lol. So glad you got it sorted tho otherwise it would not be funny at all x

Laura I hope they gave you a good option or two today?? X

PB hormones are a bitch... moan away, hubby will just have to suck it up for a bit x

GG seeing baby move is always awesome... well maybe apart from last week or so before delivery, then it becomes painful and weird to look at! X

DD is doing so much better. Everyone is much happier x
 
Aw guys! I want to feel my baby move from the outside and stuff l see it! OH still hasn't felt anything and is super jealous. Thinking is it cuz of my anterior placenta and the extra flub I have on my tummy? I hope there will come a point where I'll see it? And he'll be able to feel it? Some of the kicks are getting stronger and are fairly startling but still hubby can't feel those strong kicks even when his hand is right on top of it!

He will soon enough. I have anterior placenta and it was around week 22/23 that Dan started to feel it so you're probably not far off. Xx
 
So...interesting evening at the wedding. Just got home and of course we've lost an hour, so it's now 2.44 instead of 1.44, lol. Not like I have to get up to cook a carvery 4 hours or anything. Oh, hang on....lol

Was both a lovely night and annoying night (mil) but hey ho. Sleepy time now. Hope you're all okay xxx
 
morning all

good luck with carvery today GG I hope you managed to fall asleep quickly

haha shanivy I can't believe you booked the wrong place, my husband would never let me live it down

had the same idea as you yesterday, I was actually cleaning the utility room 1st thing and opened the door to let a little fresh air in, realised it was warm and sunny even at 830 so put a jumper on top of DDs pjs and out we went. ended up in the garden until 1230. was super happy it was a gorgeous day and I got the lawn cut, some leaves cleared and DD cleaned all my dirty/mossy looking pots. hard to believe there may be snow again this week

janeyjan yes it's probably your anterior placenta but you and husband will both get to see it soon
 
Morning all.

Shep, that sounds a lovely morning with DD. I'm hoping to do a good bit of Spring cleaning in the house this week but I don't worry about the garden, that's my mum's place. She absolutely loves sorting the garden and we go shopping for seeds and she plans and plants all our food for the summer and Autumn bless her. It's nigh on impossible to get her to sit in the house for 5 minutes for a cuppa, lol.

I'm tired but okay this morning. Have a sore throat and a bit shitty so probably a result of being a little run down. Don't feel I'll, just like my body is telling me off mildly, lol.

Got through the party last night and it was so good to see family. Dan's family are absolutely amazing, all of them but we never get to see much of them because if we're visiting his folks, they think we're rude if we go and see anyone else. So, it was lovely to catch up with that lot and the bride looked amazing. Her two little boys get cuter by the day them.

Mil waited for Dan to go and get drinks and the fucking Spanish inquisition started. She wasn't as bad as she can be because one of her early questions was about Mickey (the horse) and how it went and could I explain what happened. I said we'd talk about it another time, she said she just wanted to know as she cared deeply for him. She's stroked him fucking twice and hasn't actually mentioned it at all this past week. I said again that it wasn't the time and we'd talk again about it. She persisted that she wanted to know. I said Again, No, I'm not talking about it tonight, let's change the subject...she STILL said I should just tell Her, so I said, really quite sternly, "it was 24 hours ago, we're at a wedding to enjoy a happy occasion and I will not talk about this with you right now and DO NOT even mention Mickeys name to Dan because it's fucking cruel to keep asking when you know damn well how upset we are so this is the last I want to hear about this until WE are ready to bring it up".
"Oh right, okay darling"....snide remark coming, "I just really wanted to know".
I finished with, "but it's got nothing to do with you or what you want".

Then the baby questions and the million, "please look after yourself, I'm worried about you and Dan on the farm, please don't hurt yourself.
A few times is quite nice, but it's laced with self righteousness from her so in the end I'm afraid I came out with, "what do you think I'm going to do, risk the baby I've been desperate for for 20 years".

There were many many judgy comments but I'm trying to forget them all.

Well, that is until they walked us out. Yep, had to walk us down the corridor to the front door as they deserved some alone time with us. We'd been sat with them for 4 hours.

Dan's sister pipes up with, "by the way, just so you guys know what's happening, we've decided that when the baby is here, I'll stay at home with the dogs and let mum and dad have a couple of weeks with you, then when they come back, I'll come down and have my own special baby time".

Dan just looked at me not knowing what to say. His mum stood there staring at me, obviously waiting for my response, so I said "Well, good thing about c section is we'll know the date so we can sort all that out nearer the time".
She fucking knew, her face was a picture but I kept my mouth shut, gave hugs and left.

There is not a hope a he'll they are staying in our house with a new baby, I don't give a shit if they don't like it. My own parents won't be coming for more than a couple of hours at a time so there will be no favouritism. Also, I don't want his sister waiting like a lemon to meet her niece or nephew. I'd rather they all come down together and meet the baby. Not fair that she has to stay behind.

I'm still fucking wound up. I'm nearly fucking 40, nobody tells me they're staying in my house without even consulting us first.
 
GG nothing like people inviting themselves over to stay... for 2 weeks!!! I mean come on... When the baby is so brand new you really don't want anyone else but you and OH at home. I would totally tell them no thanks.
Saying all that we will get my mum and aunt coming 3 weeks after DD2 is born but they live abroad and only get to visit us like once a year so I guess that is a bit different. And I will need extra help with 2 kids. But I know already that it will be a stresful time.

Glad you had fun at the wedding x

Shep and Shan well done re garden. I really need nice weather so we can sort ours out! x

We already have a local B&B in mind for them, lol
 
This clock changing thing is doing my head in haha. Every clock seems to be different and I don't know where I am!
 
Sheesh GG, your MIL is a nightmare!

25 weeks tomorrow, feels like a real milestone :)

We facetimed my dad this evening as we generally do every weekend, my MIL has been buying a bazillion things for the baby but dad has, until now been holding back. We lost my mum 6 years ago to cervical cancer and I think that becoming a grandparent may have some bittersweetness for him because he doesn't get to do it with mum. But recently he's gone from zero to "I've been baby shopping"

What's been the best though is what he's been buying. I said early on that just because she's a girl doesn't mean we want pink everything.... we'd rather a mix with the emphasis on OTHER colours.... of course MIL couldn't stop herself and has generally gone mad with pink cardies and dresses... but dad went off and bought dark navy t-shirts with bugs and cars and dinosaurs.. bless him.

Today he announced he'd bought some toys, but said "It may be a while until she's ready, perhaps we'll keep them here for visits..." turned out he'd bought two things, a sort of wooden frame that toddlers can roll balls down (top marks).... and the other thing was that game 'Operation' lol.... Which is like 6+..we couldn't stop laughing.... he laughed too but then said he just remember my sister and I playing and and it brought back nice memories and he looked forward to seeing her play it.. then it got a little sad thinking of mum.. it was their anniversary this weekend.

things going well generally, we're off to the Lake District for a break over easter, can't wait! I hope everyone is generally doing well and looking after themselves :)
 
Oh Fela, l think I just fell in love with your dad a little bit. What a wonderful grandfather he will be and more so with the memory of your mum in his mind I'm sure. I hope you have a wonderful trip to the Lakes...Dan and I used to go there so often but ha vent been able to since all the horses moved in.
 
Morning everyone

I wrote a big reply out last night and my phone went dead so this is something like I meant to post but a lot shorter because I'm tired lol.

GG fuck that I'd be so mad if my in laws (or anyone) dictated to me what they would be doing when baby came. Just the words "just so you guys know what's happening" would of have my head exploding lol. As if! Xx

Fela happy 25 weeks hun. Your dad sounds like he's going to be a fabulous grandad! Enjoy your little break away xx

JaneyJan probably your placenta hun but you're still early so fx by 25 ish week you'll be able to see baby xx

Still waiting on my results. Giving them until later on then I'll phone them. Stupidly had two coffees sitting in Mils house and now I have a dodgy stomach so sitting here trying to pretend I don't :/ That will teach me. fucking kills though. Only sat here because I can't be bothered walking home since I've to go pick DD up after 11. Got the whole house spring cleaned yesterday.Ivy clearly doesn't understand the concept of the clocks going forward since she woke up at 6 ish yesterday which would have been 5ish if they'd not went forward. I was just like wtf you're supposed to sleep later not earlier. Had something else to say but I'm literally too tired to think lol

Well done on getting so much house stuff done Shan - it can feel good when things are looking cleaner and tidier.... you're making me feel bad, our house is a MESS.

Feeling a bit shattered myself today, I think it's because I know I only have a couple of work days left until I get 5 days off... I was talking to my boss about this big project we've been working on this morning and he was like "Fela - You've worked your arse off during this last couple of weeks since we started" I pointed out that the project started 4 weeks ago, not 2 and he was like "omg... wow we really HAVE had our noses to the grindstone haven't we?" which made me laugh.. we've both been at it so hard that he hadn't realised how long it had been! Some respite now finally, we've wrapped it all up. Just in time, I wasn't sure I could hack the pace another week!

Also we may be insane but we're having our bathroom all ripped out next month AND the ceiling removed in the bathroom/baby's room (due to asbestos). Feels like everything is coming to a head can't wait for some sort of sanity to return to the house! :nap:
 
Sounds like you need the rest and the break! I know what you mean though, we're in the middle of redecorating the whole house and feels like we should be tidying things and organising for baby. Not making more mess and chaos everywhere. Hopefully your bathroom and baby room get done quickly xx
 
Awh fela your dad sounds amazing! Good luck with your house!

GG wtf. Id have just said no staright away, i dont get how people can not see how rude it is inviting themselves over, let alone for 2 weeks.

Had your results yet shan?

Nothing new for me. Landlord called us to tell us hes split with wife..idk if its a hint he'll be wanting the house back. So were looking at buying now instead of saving more. Meh
 
Ughh dd has the poops :( shes not sick tho which is good, and seems fine in herself. Happy enough to have bottles to.
 
Very quiet in here ladies

PB ffs I hope that's not what he's after. Last thing you need right now. At least you can buy though , that's something. No results, been out all afternoon and forgot my phone. Just in and no missed calls so assuming either my results are okay or theyre fucking useless. Either way I'll need to call in the morning :roll: xx

Had the most irritating afternoon maternity shopping. Went into New look and they had NO sizes. Either 8s or 18s I'm not even kidding. And I'm three sizes smaller in maternity? How makes these clothes seriously?. Then mothercare only had regular length in EVERY SINGLE PAIR of their jeans. (They had like 15 different types I swear to god) Which are 31 and too long. So if your after petite length or tall in my mothercare tough shit. Ended up buying leggings cause I was so mad about it and needed something. My hips are killing me. Ugh crap day!
