Due In May :)

Nice crib Powell and the names! When I think of the name skylar I think of the show Breaking Bad! It's not a popular name here you see.

Jary I have even longer to wait until my next scan!! I'm after you because I have to wait until I'm 22 weeks big sigh!!
I might buy something for the baby soon, feeling the urge to!!

Had a complete break down today over something stupid really, my dad sent his Xmas list round to us and I chose what we would get and emailed my sister and mum, I then got an email from my mum this afternoon to say that her and my dad had been out and bought what we were going to buy. It's typical of my dad to do that as he's such a control freak, he can't bear the thought of missing out on a bargain even if we could have got something better and would have. I went mad because I have 12 people to but for and they only have 4, I find it hard to shop with my DD unless I know exactly what I'm going to get because she gets restless and wants to walk and the shopping centre isn't very buggy friendly. They on the other hand can go shopping whenever they want and take time to find stuff. I tend to do my shopping online instead as its easier. Anyway I went mad and haven't spoken to them since. I know that they will be saying I'm hormonal (grrrr) and maybe I am a bit but I'm also a mum to a very energetic little girl, have very little time to shop, and have enough other people to buy for! My parents have just been totally inconsiderate as ever!!

How is everyone today?

I'm still fighting this cold; the cough is really annoying me now and I feel exhausted.
Anywho hope you ladies are feeling a little less nauseous now.

OH and I are just having a hot drink after some shopping for his mums bday and I'm sure baby is awake as I'm feeling an awful lot of flutters! My old friend from school just gave birth early this morning and her baby girl looks very sweet

 

[Powell130]

[Jary]

Ooh I keep meaning to watch season 3. Started watching ep 3 but the link broke

Powell, I thought you'd like to hear this since you are dealing with your share of inlaw crap, as I'm sure many of you are.

I go on Facebook yesterday to see that my MIL has taken it upon herself to announce on her status update that we are pregnant! I am SOOO f-ing pissed, I could spit nails!!! This coming after I just told her on Thanksgiving that we're not ready to announce it yet, not even to the whole family. In what language does that translate to announce it to the entire FB world???!!!! I haven't even had my 12 week scan yet (having Tuesday) and we're waiting until after then to let more people in on the news and weren't planning on a FB announcement until a week or 2 later. It is our news and I can't believe she did this. I had hubby call her and take it down immediately, but it was still up there for a good 20-30 minutes. I just wrote her a strongly worded email as I felt that was better than calling and ripping her f-ing head off and causing more family problems.

 

[Powell130]

Ugh that sounds all too familiar! BOTH of my in laws posted OUR news on FB within hours of us telling them. My side of the family didn't even know yet!! I was FUMING!
Let me know how your MIL responds to your email. I wrote mine a message and politely asked her not to post things and she got an attitude with me and so did my FIL when he came over later that night.

I dont see how they don't understand what they're doing. I guess mine thought it was partially their news to tell or something. IDK. I'm still kinda mad about it. When we were over there on Thanksgiving, my hubs aunt asked me when we were finding out gender and I'm not ready to tell them the date so I just said "sometime in December" and my FIL came up to me he said "when you do tell me, I wont tell everyone." but the smart a$$ tone he said it in made me know he was being a smart a$$ about the pregnancy announcement situation so I told him "if you keep being a smart a$$ about it, the longer it'll be til you find out" but I said it with a smile

 

[Hann12]

Shellgirl I'd be fuming too. I hope your hubby gave them a massive talking to!

Hope everyones having a good weekend! Sinus issues for me so feeling a bit rubbish

 

[shellgirl]

My email to her:
I had Scott call you yesterday because I didn't want to yell at you. I am extremely upset that you would announce on Facebook that we are pregnant. I just had a conversation with you on Thursday about how I don't want to tell people until I've been for my 12 week appointment. You even said yourself that you told Bob I wasn't ready to announce it yet, so why would you think it was okay for you to announce it to the entire Facebook world? I understand you are excited, but I think that was very inconsiderate of you. This is our news to share, not yours. It is our decision to share when we want to and to put it on our Facebook pages when we want to. After we have done that, you're free to do what you like, but until then, please be respectful of our wishes.

Her response:

Michelle, I am sorry, I thought you were telling people after Thanksgiving. I took the post down. Scott had told Kyle that you were expecting, I thought you were telling people. My mistake.



It does not sound sincere to me and I don't see how she could think we were telling people when I just told her the opposite. It's sounds like she's justifying her actions because my husband told his best friend that he's been friends with since 1st grade. That's a little different I think!!! Not sure what to do next. I'm still pissed

If I were you Powell, I think I'd stick it to him and not tell him what you guys are having for quite sometime. I'm thinking I'm going to do that too!

Hi all

Feeling super tired all the time lately now, got an appointment to see my specialist this morning - so hoping for a scan and a picture to bring home!!

I was sitting in a squished up position yesterday and got my first little kicks from inside, letting me know it wasn't comfy being squished into lol I had to move and relax my body to make room for bubba

 

[Powell130]

That doesn't sound very sincere to me either. I think she just wrote what she thought you wanted to hear or something. I don't believe she thought you were telling people when you just told her that you weren't.

I really don't think I'm going to tell them til Christmas even tho we're finding out in 6 days..ahh!! I'm so excited

 

[prolifer]

16 weeks 4 days

 

[Powell130]

aweee! do you know gender yet? i have my private gender ultrasound saturday and i'll be 16w5d

 

[Powell130]

nvm, just saw in your sig that your team yellow! do you know if they could have told you gender?

 

[prolifer]

I did ask if he could take a peek but not say, but he said "perfect shot but too blurry" his machine is a portable one so it wasn't clear enough for him to be able to tell.

 

[Powell130]

Oh okay. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume the people at Baby's First Images have a higher tech US machine since that's what they specialize in. They do give you a voucher to come back if they can't determine gender, which makes me feel better

 

[prolifer]

They can see it clearly by 16 weeks - as long as baby is in a good position

 

[Jary]

Lovely scan pro! Baby looks all snug in there

 

[Powell130]

They can see it clearly by 16 weeks - as long as baby is in a good position

yay! that makes me feel better. they do gender us starting at 14 weeks but i've been worried I made my appointment too early, but I feel better now 16 weeks today!!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

eeeek i dont think i can stay team yellow this time round! with steven i honestly not bothering about knowing untill he was here but i badly want to know so considering in at 20 week scan (which isnt till Jan but gives me time to decide lol!) x

 

[BDownmommie]

I am so undecided right now about the gender question. Originally, I wanted the surprise, now I want to know, but then again the surprise would be nice...

Tough decision - wonder if they''d tell me the sex of just one of them so I can have it both ways lmao
