2010 Bumps & Flushes & Dimples

[Piperette]

Sorry you had a bad week, penguin. Good that you are sorting it out though, just make sure you don't stress too much.

CAB will help Claire, the main thing is to get him to talk about it as these days a lot can be resolved by keeping the communications open with the creditors. It may be that they will amend the repayment plan for him as it isnt in their interest to force a sale of someones home - bad publicity and an extra headache for them. If he can afford some but not all this is the time he needs to sing out.

If you arent on the paperwork etc they cannot hold you accountable and actually could be in doodoo as they shouldnt harrass you especially as you are preggers!

Anyways enough of the serious stuff and on to the important stuff....Hows Jac? Hope his eyes are all better? Has he done anything new in the last week and a half? They do such funny things, I caught mogster reading a book to himself this morning, was so proud. I could even tell what book he was reading without looking! You have to get it for Jac as it has become a firm favourite with our whole family cos the story is great for mogster but the illustrations a very clever too! Its called Charlie Cooks Favourite Book

Look forward to Jac's update soon, have a great day all, anyone having wriggles besides me n Yas yet, it is so exciting to hear all the progress our babies have made!

Moggy - I am jumping on mogsters intuition and going pink!

I have spent weeks convincing DH ours is a boy, so that if it is he will be used to the idea (he seemed somehow scared of a boy and wanted a girl, going off the fact that he seems to do better with peoples girls than boys ) but it could go either way eeeeeep too excited

Penguin am sure the CAB will help sort it - try not to stress, I know it's easier said than done

I am still having 'ripples' lol - went to a school show last night, of DH's cousin, and the music was so loud I think bubs thought it was a disco

ANOTHER driving lesson this morning as I have a day off - eeep! Followed by relaxing hair appointment (loooooong overdue!) and my grandparents arriving for the weekend! Just hiding from the builders eating my cereal in the lounge whilst they slave over the extension

Hope you all have lovely days - the sun looks to be out a little here!

20 weeks P&F!

 

[pinkandfluffy]

Woop woop!!!!

I wonder if you ladies can help me!

We are going away (I am sure I have bored you all previously with my flight nerves!) a week on Sunday to Mallorca for a few days (freebie, nothing glam!).

Travel insurance - do I need anything special, or do you just get regular travel insurance? I have an EHIC card (formerly E111) as well.

Any ideas? I don't want to get the wrong one but I just don't have a clue - don't think I've ever even purchased travel insurance before as had it in with holidays

Trying to relax before my driving lesson but know I need to get this done

Piperette/P&F - Thanks huns

Moggy - (I feel better that ive been to CAB...need to wait for an apptmt to go over the finer details but ive been able to tell the company not to contact me from now on and to expect to hear from CAB in the meantime...so i have representation so im happier and can relax a little.

On to nicer things.....Jac has learnt to stand up in the last 2 weeks and now he's got it down to a fine art.....he wants to stand ALL the time and can do virtually anywhere. He's not cruising as such yet but hes not far away. He's a determined little boy like his mum

Not having much movement either...deffo had more with Jac at this time. But had a MW appointment last tuesday so got to hear the HB so im happy. I got a lot more flutters from 14 weeks last time...this time its weird....its like i know something is moving inside me but its not so blatant....does that make sense...probably not and every now and again ive had a major movement like a mega sharp tug on my insides but it doesnt hurt.....you must all think im nuts. I dont know you feel the smae moggy but the feel and the movements in this pregnancy is totally different to my first....

P&F- Am so jealous hun. Most insurance will cover pregnancy as standard up until 3rd tri at the earliest.....then it depends on airline and insurance at what week they need a medical note to cover you. I would phone up and check to make sure or check the finer details of the cover. The cheapest cover i found and weve used a few times is this one.....but check the preggy bit though. And remember to check with airline if they're ok with it too. https://www.direct-travel.co.uk/
Heres the preggy page...

Sorry to ramble.

[penguin77]

p&f - sorry forgot ...... for being half way

[pinkandfluffy]

Thank you! Off to scout that page - airline says okay up to 30 odd weeks so am all good on that front, and to be fair if they turned me away I would probably be relieved

Go Jac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[moggymay]

well done Jac - standing up is a biggy and he will be all ready to help Daddy in the garden in a few months time, little mower, watering can etc Fab news hon!

Travel insurance should be straight forward but as Claire says if you arent sure call the company to confirm, usually the application will include whether you are preggers so should have a little info icon you can click near the question....Had my last insurance through HSBC when was preggo and flew to Lisbon, was fairly cheap although have since found you can get it cheaper. Try moneysupermarket.co.uk

Enjoy your lesson look forward to the update later!

Oh and Claire - yes this pregnancy does feel different to the last, have been paranoid until now and all of a sudden am so much more relaxed about it...Strange huh?

 

[Fish&Chips]

Oh Claire that sounds awful but I'm glad CAB are going to help you. Are you saying you signed the joint loan without realising or that as far as you're aware you're not on any of the paperwork? But yey that Jac is standing up! That's great news.

Congrats on being 20 weeks P&F! I can't wait to be there.

Not sure about the insurance but would also be interested to know. x

 

[penguin77]

Are you saying you signed the joint loan without realising

Yep.....sounds really dumb..but hey when you're married and someone said sign this.....i did. I knew it was secured loan and as the house was in his name (as he got left 1/2 of it after his mother and morgated the rest) i presumed i was signing to say i knew of it or maybe excluded from it and he never said anything about it being a joint loan as it was paying off his cards etc...nothing of mine. Its taught me a hard lesson but hey i will sort it somehow.

[Fish&Chips]

It doesn't sound dumb at all. I would have done exactly the same. FX the CAB can help. x

 

[moggymay]

Hope CAB can sort it, to be honest though the creditors will go after whomever they think will be able to repay soonest. Hate to be writing that but my bank manager head cannot say otherwise.

Seems to me that if it paid his debts and was secured on house he owned then.....has he not paid it at all?

 

[Jetters]

Lots to talk about!

Lia I've been driving for over a year but never got around to taking my test, I feel confident but am afraid of the theory and fairly certain with baby brain i'm never going to pass it however I am DESPERATE to pass my test so I can have a car when Babbit is here... shall we race??

I've picked out all my baby stuff and collecting a changing table and cot next week, but i've not got anywhere to put it all so don't want to buy anything else. I'm stuck umming and aaahing about wether I want to move when the baby is here, or when i'm 8 months preggo... neither fills me with much joy *sigh*

Oh Claire, what a crap situation!! We have all been guilty of signing without thinking it through too carefully. Really hope the CAB help you out


I have popped beyond all logic this week. I can't see my you-know-what when I lay down at all anymore and i'm SO round!! I wasn't expecting it so quickly... sounds silly. I've also entered the unpleasant phase of waking up drenched from my leaking boobs... but at least it relieves the pressure on them the next day for a while!!

 

[Jetters]

Also.. i'm reluctant to say too much or be too hopeful, but yesterday my ex and I had our first conversation in THREE months about access for me to Rory. It is coming up to 6 months since I have seen him, which is beyond anything I can explain. She is letting me know today if I can have access to him, although it wont be in a parental role anymore- and also, her horrid new girlfriend will be the one meeting me with him. BUT i'll grab at anything... fingers crossed, everyone.

 

[Fish&Chips]

Oh my goodness Jetters.. you're only 3 weeks ahead of me and I thought my boobs would stay dry until full term! Also kind of expected my bump to stay small until I'm 25 weeks... guess I'm being optimistic! x

 

[moggymay]

F&C all depends with the boobs cos mine arent leaking yet...fed mogster til he was 23 months and they still worked up til about 6 weeks preggers although he wasnt eating obviously. Think this time we may hit bottles sooner as mogster didnt ever have a bottle and even now wants a cup of water at bedtime

What is everyone up to this weekend?

 

[Jetters]

It's Iranian New Year tomorrow, so i'm off to my nans tonight to celebrate

 

[moggymay]

Happy New Year Yas!

 

[penguin77]

Yasmin - Happy new year hun...have a great time
