- Start date
I knew it Nikki! Team blue, excellent!! Look forward to pics later.
Tara, can't believe that lady with twins, what a shock! Nice shock though hopefully!!
Jenna, hope you are resting well today. Definitely get the risk assessment sorted, they're legally obliged to do it, and you can tailor it to suit you. Last 2 afternoons I've come home early as my headaches are killing me, and it's covered in my RA to be on lighter duties and that midwife advised sleep to deal with headaches. Look after yourself girl xx
Can I have a rant - I am a bridesmaid in November, my baby will be 3 months old. My friend has insisted we go away for the hen and at no point has said to me I shouldn't feel under pressure to come as I'll have a 2 month old baby, which has already annoyed me. Hen do is costing £150 ish. She has bought bridesmaid dresses, we tried them on and they're ok, not something i'd wear again, but she likes it, so it's fine. They cost £150 each. Today she texted me saying would I mind paying for half the dress, but she understands money is tight so I could pay her £15 a month over the next 5 months. I can't believe it!!! She already bought and paid for dresses, at no point did she say we'd be paying. If she had I would of said fine but it needs to be a cheaper dress!!!!!! I'm about to have a baby, we 're moving house, our mortgage is nearly doubling in the process, I gotta pay for stupid hen do that i probably can't go on as I'll be breast feeding a 2 month old baby, plus the wedding requires an overnight stay as its about a 2 hour drive away, which we gotta pay for. And now she asks for 50% of the dress, after she's already chosen it and the price of it!!!!!!!!!! I am so mad!!!!!!! About 2 weeks ago she emailed saying hair and make up will cost £30, so i said i cant afford it so i'll do my own, and she replied saying they'll pay for bridesmaid hair, the costs in the email was meant for her mother and mother in law. Now i don't want my stupid hair done if i gotta pay toward the dress!!!!! I wish I'd not agreed to be a bridesmaid, and it shouldnt be about money and costs, it's about being a friend, but right now she's not being a very good friend!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree with that. I can understand if that the cost of the dress was an upfront thing at least you could have based your answer on that..since she is the one who is picking the dress out. The fact that she even made it into a "payment plan" is kind of insulting. It would have been better for her to say "hey I know I said I would be paying for the dresses but we are stretching out budget and if you can put any money towards it, it would be appreciate it." I would go as far to tell her that you would love to be a bridesmaid but with all your upcoming obligations it would better for you to just attend the wedding and help out

Woo hoo nikki I knew it!!!!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!
Sophie oh I'd be annoyed too!! When I got married last year I bought my sisters the bridesmaid dresses I would've never expected them to pay as the dresses where my choice. If they were paying then i wouldve of course let them pick, but im of the mindset that it was my wedding so i should pay for them.. after all they never asked for me to get married and make them bridesmaids! lol. You shouldn't feel obliged to go away for the hen either.. Not when you have a little baby.. Could the two of u not do something nice together after the hen instead...? A little more low key?
Baby seems to be practising wrestling more today using my bladder as an opponent.. Body slams at the moment! Haha xxx

21 week bump pic! I'm huuuuuge! View attachment 582463Good bump Jenna, you are huge!! Looks great though. I've got a bit bigger, will do a pic in a minute!!
Have agreed to pay my friend £50 toward dress, and wear shoes I currently have rather then new ones.... as think I woulda been paying for them too!!!!! Still fuming but gotta get over it, don't wanna fall out over it. Have also told her straight I'm only coming for day at hen do, not staying overnight and she's said ok. Am annoyed she didn't offer that as an option, and Nicky, as you say, I was totally insulted she offered me a payment plan. She has no diplomacy skills!!! When I got married I didn't have bridesmaids as was just 2 of us in Thailand and a small civil do back in the uk, so glad I didn't have all the wedding stresses! In fact it's my first wedding anniversary on Monday
What a year it's been, rollercoaster!!

AFM-cd17,i had to wake up a half hour earlier than yesterday when i temped to get a shower and get ready for my appt. My temp went up .2 degrees, so i don't know if i would consider that O, but i heard or read for every half hour earlier you wake, to add .1 degree...so i guess all i can do is see what it is tomorrow, but just curious if I did O yesterday or i am today. Hopefully we still have time in case and get to bd tonight one last time?
As for the appt....it wasn't a hernia, it's pretty superficial (close to the skin) and really all they did was recommend me to see a general surgeon and see if they want to remove it or just watch it. It measured 1cm.

Ah Amanda, your bump is lovely and round, a nice shape. I'm so tiny next to yours and Jenna's bump, am jealous.
Bailey and heather, hopeful for you both. Bailey, if af does come, it may be mega unfortunately but least it'll finally be here. Naomi, how you getting on?
Glad you rested today Jenna x
Nikki, waiting to see your lovely scan pics of your little boy
