LJ - IMO you are a mum, your baby is alive, DH just hasn't held it yet. And having angel babies still makes you a mum, so I certainly hope you get at the very least a card tomorrow.

Lizjessie- i think that you are a mum from the moment you conceive your first child. with out even really taking notice you are already giving the baby a warm place to sleep and you quit drinking and smoking, stop eating all the yummy food etc just so that the baby can have the best start in life. sometimes the pregnancy might end earlier than planned but you are still a mother to that baby. i think your a mum. but i also think that if you dont feel like a mum until your baby is born then that is the way you feel and thats fine. oh and have you felt the baby move yet? i cant wait it could only be 4 or 5 weeks till i feel our baby move apparently if its second baby you feel it earlier than your first.
Emma- i know what you mean, billy never does any house work, he does try to help sometimes but he is really really bad at it so most of the time i prefer to do it myself lol. i know that sounds bad but i liked my dishes really clean and my washing folded a certain way.
yeah gaea has told me all about the crazy family but i tell her nothing compares to my inlaws haha. like my BIL's girlfriend punching him in the nose at my recent 21st. i was so embarassed. lol
well im off, billy has made me breaky in bed.
hope you all have a magnificent mothers day.
take care xxx

Maddie: haha yeah I end up re-doing whatever he's done cause im a clean freak and its not upto my standards and I've frozen heaps of meals so we don't starve when I get back from hossy. Hmm I think our family takes the cake plenty of punch ups and *****ing going on, I try to avoid it all, im not much of a people person let alone family person. I've even put in my birth plan 'no family allowed to visit til I say so' cause I know what they're like!!
AFM poxy full moon didn't do anything for me, still no BHs, contx, bloodddy anything!!! Grrr this ones gonna be overdue just to shhit me!

Emma- lol, maybe so, i did here of a bit of a fight between Gaea and your SIL.
Gaea, Pete and i were talking about your bubba and between the 3 of us we think labour will start tuesday and baby will be born by thursday. they are very excited to meet her.
So did everyone get spoilt for mothers day?
Billy gave me 40 dollars and told me that now i could buy a new maternity bra hahaha guys can be so.... (whats the word) dumb? stupid? thoughtless? funny? So tomorrow after the ultra sound im going to make him come bra shopping hahaha
And maddie and him made me a card too, which was very cute.
Registered User
maddie: aww they made u a card thats so sweet!
as for maternity bras, i bought some when i was about 25 weeks and they were enourmous on me and the lady was like i think theyre too big...now im busting out of them haha! so will have to buy even bigger ones for BF'ing.
LOL i wasnt gonna mention the fight they had incase G hadnt told you bout it, pretty full on, i come from a small family that doesnt hang out much so its been hard 4 me to adjust to dozens of family members all with thier own 'special' opinions
Registered User
haha i like how you say special opinions, i come from a close family with lots of girls and lots of arguing (mainly with step mum- cant stand her) and billys family are quite blunt and not as open and loud as im used to. Gaea has found it quite hard to feel accepted aswell, but her family is also very different aswell so i think you will find you might feel quite the same , i think she likes you the most, she never has anything bad to say about you, i said that to her last night
Registered User
awww. yeah me and G get along great. i understand alot of what shes goin thru i had bad depression for years and still have anxiety problems, and think she is doin the best job she can with what the world has dealt to her (does that make sense?) but pete needs to get a bloody job! i think thatd take alot of stress off thier plates, i dunno how they get by, me and DP struggle as it is and he works full time. i think alot of ppl think im rude or blunt but ive never connected with my family and moved out on my own at 16 and have been pretty much alone and supported myself until now its been very hard to go from being single party girl to pretty much a mum overnite!!

*sticks head in* lol
It's hard when you get together with someone who has had a completely different upbringing to you... like, you both think your upbringing and family situation were completely normal, and then you meet someone who was raised differently and *they* think *their* childhood was normal, and it all gets weird from there hahahhaa... DH thinks I'm a spoiled princess, I think his dad is/was (I refer to him in past tense lol, he's in prison atm and hopefully will be staying there till he carks it, if he gets out before then I won't have him anywhere near me or the kids, I don't care what DH says, he's dead to me) a complete buttf*** and did the worst job ever of raising his son :/ And our parents don't get along either lol, DH's dad thinks my parents are snobs, my parents think he's a massive dero (which, let's be honest, he IS) with a superiority complex (you know, the kind of person who thinks they're better than everyone else *because* they're a dero?? And is always going on about how everybody judges them, but then they constantly judge everybody else, making them just as bad, kwim?)...
It sure made for awkward family gatherings :/
Gah, Mother's Day was an epic fail... it started Saturday night - DH skipped out on coming baby shopping with me because DD was sick (fair enough, I wasn't taking her out in public the way she was), so he didn't get to buy me a present, then he hit the roof when I spent $220 on baby gear (starting with $80 for a box of nappies for bub and DD, she was nearly out), and THEN he decides that now's the time to tell me he doesn't really want the baby and that I 'nagged' him into it...
Which is absolute BS, for the record... he told me to stop taking the Pill and then asked me every day for a week whether I'd stopped yet (I kept taking it for a few days in case he changed his mind just to be sure)!!
So mad at him right now. I've been mad all weekend, and he doesn't care
Then yesterday morning, I had a doctor's appt for DD, DH wouldn't get out of bed to take her and let me have a lie-in so I got up early and took her to the doctor's, THEN the snotty receptionist was really rude to me and wouldn't let us in because my Medicare card expired a few days ago...
The only good thing about it was that DH let me order pizza instead of cooking lol.
So... hope everyone else had a good day lol, mine was total BS but I suppose there's always next year

oh goth mum sounds like hes being a bit of an ass...sorry you had such a horrid day
it sucks when nothing goes your way
Registered User
Jeeez this thread is hard to keep up with!
Tat! Glad your DP is doing *something* at least. Better than nothing.
~Heavenly~, DF is the same. I dont' think I have ever received a birthday present on my birthday. It's always a couple of days before. He can't keep a surprise to save himself :P
If DF complains about me taking all his money he's got a problem! My pay goes on the house repayments and reno saving, and his money is general "living" money. When he ever has a dig at me spending "his" money I just tell him to move out of my house
Gothmum, sorry to hear about your mothers day, mine wasn't to flash either if it makes you feel any better. I slept most of it away and had a mini tantrum when DF woke me up to go to his parents for dinner for mothers day.... speaking of family's getting along and different up bringings, I could probably write a novel!
Sounds like your DH is being a bit of a b*tch too! Must be his man rags haha, i swear they get them more often than we do!
Registered User
actually he usually gives me everything late lol it was just i harrassed him to go to the shop so he had something for me on time lmao
Registered User
haha, oh well better late than never! My mothers day is being postponed to next friday (Jayvan's due date) so I dont get mine til then either - we're just going out for a fancy dinner - above tantrum was for all DF's family buying me a "mothers day present' which I didn't particularly want to be made a fuss of - I know they mean well - so Df didn't buy me anything to save his neck
I know, I'm horrible.

Donna - I was like why did buttface get blanked out...OHHHH lol what a doodle, I think its cause its finally dawning on him that there will be 2 kids and its his primal fight or flight urge kicking in!dontcha sometimes wish we had tape recorders for stuff like that..we weren't planning ours at all but DP knew full well I wasn't on the pill so when he says he did it for me I have a go at him!
Haha see im a derro but I KNOW im a derro and don't care
Yeah my folks are pretty well off and DP hates that my mum is forever buying us stuff/offering to help with money etc...like my baby shower everyone bought little presents, my mum bought a tumble dryer
Teagz: yeah me and DP do it the other way round he pays rent and I pay groceries so when he buys himself something off ebay I try not to have a go at him cause the rent is a lot more than food... but its annoying cause he has a lot more disposable income than me...in fact once I start gettin centrelink ill hav nothin left each week...boo!
Registered User
hey girls,
emma- agree full with you about pete, gaea does very well and pete also does help with mya but finances i think are alot more important at this stage.
my dp and i share all of our money and we always have. i dont know why we started but i think we find it easy so then we dont fight about who spent more or who deserves more. my centrelink payment is enough for 1 weeks rent so every fortnight that comes out of our account and straight on rent and his pay and my pay just go on bills, other half of rent, groceries and little bit of spending if we can afford to.
billy sometimes gets upset with me because my family are quite well off and sometimes i feel a bit bad at how easy i got it. my dad bought me a brandnew car for my 17th and has always helped us financially. his mum couldnt afford a place to live so they lived on a friends property in a caravan for a year. but i think it has opened my eyes and really made me appreciate money and family soooo much more. especially being in the situation now where we live week by week with money.
anyway....
had my second ultrasound today, baby looks great, the heartrate was 155bpm and was measured at 12w6d so 3 days ahead of dates.
i think its a girl, just have a feeling.

i hope mines a girl after all the pink **** ive bought haha
Registered User
hahah i remember having that fear with Maddie, my mum called when i was in labour and it was like 2 in the morning and she was like "amy, i just had the most horrible dream, you had the baby and it was a boy and you have all your pink stuff" haha then after i had maddie she goes" the other part of the dream was that it was a black baby" that obviously wouldnt be right considering billy and i are both white. lol i thought that was quite funny
