Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

Lovely scan pics girls I can't wait for my next one.

I've got a bit of a sore head tonight - hopefully going to get an early night. Sometimes wish we still had a bath could do with a nice soak in some bubbles.

 

[arlene]

Your scan pic is great laura!

I had a bit of a fright today Was at a park and plant nursery in Edinburgh for the day, work do a thing called Day To Make A Difference so spent the morning cutting sage plants for replanting. Started to feel a bit sick sick then the woman in charge called us over to her bench. Next thing I know I felt super dizzy, my head felt really fuzzy and I had a buzzing in my ears and could hardly hear her! So I walked outside the greenhouse and crouched down and took deep breaths. Was really scary! That's the first time I've ever felt faint or dizzy since I got pregnant, it was horrible! Xx

Aw Arlene hope ur ok now Hun..x

Mines is on tues can't come quick enough. Xx

 

[arlene]

Yeah, fine now thanks hun. Still feeling a bit sick but I'm ok. Can't wait for my scan on Monday!! Xx

I got a bit like that in Asda the other day. One of the checkout girls was trying to talk to me to ask if I was ok and I couldn't hear a thing she was saying. Took a while to recover! I was stood in the car park for ages, clinging to the trolley!

I have been out with my son and husband tonight, for dinner and the cinema. Shaun took the pregnancy news really well and is so excited about being a big brother. I have announced it to everyone else too, everyone seems thrilled for us.

I have terrible cramps now. I think it's because the sonographer was so brutal! I think I might be bleeding again too, nothing to worry about I'm sure because I'm not even sure if it's blood or my eyes playing up!

I dunno why, but I feel really down in the dumps tonight. I have no idea why because it's been the best day ever and so many things have finally started to go right for us. I can only guess it's silly hormones because today has been so busy and I've been up since 5am!

 

[arlene]

Aww LJ, so glad Shaun took the news well. We're telling my 12yr old stepson at the weekend as the scan is monday but we won't see him for another two weeks after and don't want his mum breaking the news cos we don't know what lies she'll tell him!

Don't worry about the hormones LJ, I'm the same! OH and I dtd last night and I literally rolled over and burst into tears!! I don't even know why! Felt so bad for OH cos we haven't done it in ages and he thought he'd hurt me or something! (Sorry if tmi!) Stupid hormones! Lol xx

 

[lj2245]

Lol! At least you DTD! I conceived on my honeymoon and since we got the BFP I have refused to let him near me! Lol!! Newlyweds we are not! I'm hoping my libido picks up but right now I'd much rather just sleep lol!

Do you only get to see your stepson once a fortnight? That's lousy for you guys and for him. My boy goes to his Dad's every Friday to Sunday.

 

[bbymc]

Ok so I very nearly posted two separate status updates giving myself away lol. Thankfully I realise what I was doing before I hit send. But oh man, that would have been a disaster. Slightly funny though lol! Xx

 

[arlene]

Bbymc I can't wait to post my scan pic on monday!

Yeah LJ, we get him every second weekend, 4 days at easter and october break, two weeks in summer and alternate xmas and new year. His mum is a total nihhtmare! Took us two years after they separated to get that kind of access, their marital home has been empty for over two years and OH has had to stop paying the mortgage and force repossession cos she refused to sell at first and then refused almost every decent offer. She moved my stepson twice as in moved houses, without telling my OH anything and stepson has now had 3 schools between p6 and p7 and then started a brand new high school cos she moved him again during the summer! Honestly, nothing a good hitman or freak yachting accident on the M6 wouldn't sort!! She's gonna go nuts when she finds out we're expecting ;-) xx

 

[lj2245]

Has she remarried? I hate when people get bitter when they get divorced. It's only the kids who suffer. I try to keep everything as fair as possible and as much as I think Shaun's Dad is a tit, he's still his Dad so I get on with him as best as I can. My Mum hasn't spoken a word to my Dad since she divorced him 21 years ago and it was a nightmare growing up. We were always in the middle and had to listen to her slagging him off all the time.

Emma, there were so many times I almost did that! I am so glad it's out in the open now! You must be so nervous this morning about the house. 12 you find out? I have my fingers crossed for you!

 

[lj2245]

When I said people...I was referring to your OH's ex, not the lot of you lol

 

[bbymc]

Arlene your OH's ex sounds like a complete nightmare! What a shame for their son though, moving that much! I dunno why people can't just accept thins and move on. Her staying bitter is only gona hurt her son. It's a real shame!

Yeah, 12pm is when the bids are opened so hopefully we'll get a phonecall shortly after. It's not the end of the world if we didn't get it but it would be lovely to be able to start our lives together as a family with baby in a shared house rather than a property that my parents own.

Not having a good day today again. Gutted I had to phone in sick! xx

 

[lj2245]

Ugh my internet has been on and off all day long. It's doing my head in.

It's a shame you had to phone in sick today. You were doing ok yesterday too. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for the house!

 

[bbymc]

We got the house! wow, this has been some week! xx

 

[lj2245]

I saw on FB! Awesome news Things are working out amazingly for all of us now!

Looks like MIL has had a change of personality completely! I think we will be staying put too, and will be buying the house from her when Stephen has cleared off the other house She's agreed to do it fairly and in a way that benefits everyone. I think both of us will be decorating and nesting over the next 6 months!!

 

[CherylC3]

We got the house! wow, this has been some week! xx

Aw brill bbymc.

Laura thts great Hun. Xx

 

[arlene]

So glad you got the house bbymc! We've had to put off moving to save for a deposit cos we won't make enough on our flat Still hoping to move before baby arrives though. You'll be glad to start neating then bbymc!

LJ glad your MIL is being better! Sounds like she's had some sense knocked into her! Yeah OH's ex is a complete nightmare. she's driven by money and asks for CSA reassessments all the time. I'm gonna enjoy her reaction when OH's CSA payment goes down when we have our LO! Not that we grudge stepson the money, I doubt he sees it anyway, I just want to piss her off! Xx

 

[bbymc]

Aw Laura thats great news about your mil. It must be such a great weight lifted! Great to know you've got the house now too. Now to get thinking about home improvements lol.

Do you think you'll have saved enough for a deposit soon then Arlene? It'd be a nightmare moving really close to when baby is due! I'm stressed about moving and I'll only be half way through lol.

So, I've told almost all my family now. Phoned a lot of my aunties and uncles and managed to see a few of my cousins and godparents to tell them in person. Everyone is super excited! Got a few asking if it was planned or not though since we're not married yet. But once i told them it was they were all super happy. Especially for me cos they know i've wanted this for ages! Lol. We still need to keep it off fb though thanks to Ryan insisting he tell his family in person. Lol Xx

 

[lj2245]

My Internet is completely down now and sky doing nothing to fix it. At Drymen for a spa day with my sister so managing to sneak on with my phone. I wouldn't kind the net being down if I could get online with my phone but I don't get a reception in my house!

Hope you are all doing well and look forward to a catch up when I'm back online!
