Lani - you put us all to shame! I've just walked the dog for an hour and I'm shattered and I'm only 9 weeks!
I'm celebrating, last time I had a miscarriage at precisely 9 weeks. So today is a big 'date' for me, I'm so pleased to get this far. I'm still terrified of course, I had a stabbing pain this morning, and automatically think the worst is happening, but I need to focus on all the things that are better - e.g. got a heartbeat etc. Anyway, I'm happy to get to nine weeks and one day.
Kyra - hope the rest of your move goes ok x
Poppy - your MIL sounds like she should be sectioned! ha ha on the wigan athletic kit, that's funny, esp you doing the right colours. Funny what people's first reactions are, my cycling mad father asked how old a child would be before it got a bike! My mother in law and I have already had a minor altercation when she found out our baby would be vegetarian too - I can see that is going to be a 18 year battle. Someone asked me yesterday point blank if their daughter was going to be a godmother - which I thought was rather extraordinary.
Anyway, I didn't come on here to ramble, I came to see if Lani or Grub had popped, and how everyone else is. So hello all! xx
Lani - dh and i did a 2.5km waddle after dinner last night looking at the chrissy lights in the neighbour hood... accidetnally bought a yummy magnum at the shops en route but it was great to get out and take our minds off the bub. and the waddling felt sooo good... didn't fracking work in bringing bub on tho!!! lol.
got dh's work xmas dinner tonight. this anticiption of hoping everday is 'the day' is exhuasting so just had a nice arvo nap.
kyra - good luck with the move, it sounds awful. but think how good it'll feel to get ino your new place!
lm - celebrate every milestone hun!!! our FS told us 9 weeks was the magic week and we were pretty safe to tell people after that not sure if you feel that comfortable tho. focus on the positives.
greenslw - good luck for your friend!! and enjoy your male-free home!
poppy - i agree with what kyra said re: just wash your hands of that stepmum and let her do all the drama without you caring
hi smith and POSSUMS - so lovely to hear from you. Hope 2010 is a great year for you lovely.
Grub - Sounds fun looking at the Christmas lights! DH and I used to do that when we lived in Oz. We lived near the beach so we used to look at the houses along the waterfront. One side moonlight on the water and the other side pretty Christmas lights! Romantic! Cannot do it here or we would freeze to death! That puts a Magnum completely out of the question for us as well!!! LOL!!! 5 degrees here today.
Lani - 4 hours shopping!!! You must be exhausted.
Londonmiss - well done on 9 weeks!!
It is true about people's hopes for the baby!! My rail enthusiast dad rang me out of the blue one day and very seriously launched into 'Now I have been thinking about how I am going to introduce the baby to Rail. I might start with Thomas the Tank Engine and then move to a wooden brio set of his own. I can then take him to heritage railways when he can walk. What do you think?' Bless him!!!!
Smithy - Thanks for your kind words!! I just noticed that we both are exactly 4 weeks apart. We both change over weeks on a Thursday. Although with the time difference I have no idea when that is!! LOL!
Kyra - thanks for your support! I hope you are getting rest now!
Everyone else Belly Rubs!!!
AFM - going to wash the baby clothes today. It might be 5 degrees but the sun is shining.
Oh Londonmiss I have had the vegetarian question from my MIL as well. First of all I got the 'I know you don't eat meat but you are not fanatical about it are you?' Which isn't really the case because when she asked me why she got the whole philosophy (or lecture depending on which side of the conversation you were on!!!!LOL) and then she asked will the baby be vegetarian. After stating all our reasons for not eating meat it would be really strange for me to suddenly say 'Oh we don't believe in meat eating but I will still buy and prepare it for the baby!!! DURRRRRRRR!!!!! I did say though that even though he will not experience meat in our home that he is free to eat it of his own accord if he doesn't agree with our philosophy. Which will obviously be in a few years time!!!! I am guessing he is going to be having meat feasts whenever they are babysitting. I can just see it 'Have they left?......Quick put him in his highchair....I'll cut up these chops while you feed him that chicken soup!!! Have we got any bits of ham we can tempt him with.....Oh no they have forgotten something and are coming back...hide the meat...hide the bloody meat!!!!!' LOL
Hi all,
So much has gone on in just a few days, it's a little hard to keep up.
Great to hear from you Possums, hoping you are here soon.
Just a quick one from me as I am tired and want to go to bed. Been having terrible braxton hicks contractions for about three days. They are so uncomfortable and nothing I do will ease them off. I almost rang ob last night because I couldnt get comfy enough to sleep. Anyone got any suggestions of how I can get rid of them or at least ease them off.
to all
