Dylan likes to push up with her head near my ribs and hips. I can feel her head and face. It's very odd. But I love it.

Happy 30 weeks to my due date buddies!!! Final stretch now. Although i am loving this pregnancy its definitely been the best of the three! Bought a very sexy nightdress to wear in hospital, its so attractive

Happy 30 weeks ladies!! Where has the time gone?!?! 3 HR GTT in a few hours :/ bleh. I hope I pass this time !!!!

 

[Sass827]

Saw the gd specialist today nothing exciting she pretty much told me I would go to the clinic at the hospital to see a dietician etc two hour appointment they will give me my blood glucose monitor and all that thank goodness my hubby's insurance covers the strips cause those can be costly.

How's everyone doing today? I actually slept okay last night thankfully!
Wish the sun was still out today though.

Did anyone see the 16 kids and counting episode last night? Have to say that the Saleem family came across quite badly to me - unruly and the house was such a mess! If you didn't work, even with 11 kids you would think it would look nicer still. And you could really tell that the mum wanted no more children yet the dad kept going on about how they weren't done yet! Such a contrast to the other family who were much bigger but seem much more of a 'family'. Although they may have intentionally filmed it all that way!

Happy 31 weeks Sass!

I seen it Hann. I felt sorry for the poor Asian woman it was obvious she didn't want anymore but because he does she has too poor woman! The other family were lovely though. At least they aren't living on benefits like the others, that's what annoys me the most! X

 

[nearlythere38]

Yeah i watched it. I felt so sorry for the Asian lady when she was crying saying she had dreams for her kids and this wasnt it. He was bloody useless. Turning his nose up at jobs because he had 7 degrees. The house was a disgrace and i couldnt believe they didnt have anywhere to eat their meals. Seriously enough is enough. Other family are lovely, crazy, but lovely lol x

 

[Sass827]

Sounds like a crazy show! We have one in the us called 19 kids and counting. The family supports themselves, which is nice, but you can tell they have no plans on stopping having more, but they are a bit up there in age, and the last baby was born very early and very sickly.
My mom has a friend a lot like them. They wound up with 12 and had to stop because the last one came out so sick. Seriously, a woman's body can only take so much!

 

[julesjules100]

I just can't understand why someone would want so many! So bad for the woman as you say Sass plus there is no way you can give that many children enough of your time. I think it's sad too that there is reliance on having the older children help, which I don't think is really fair.

Yep, that house that the asian family was living in was completely disgusting - you'd think if he wasn't going to work he'd be able to devote all day to helping his wife tidy up!

[pinktiara]

that 19 kids and counting is crazy I couldnt imagine having that many kids

 

[Hann12]

Completely agree - that man was a total waste of space - and looked pretty old too! If he was 32 when they got married he's got to be late 40's or in his 50's - he looked at least that. Yes really useful to have 7 degrees and no job lol! My DH wondered how they could afford the house but I bet it was a wedding present from the family. Everything was filthy though - I hope they watch the programme and realise how grim it all is! The children were really badly behaved in public too!
I feel quite strongly about people living off benefits with no effort to find a job. I worked out they get just over £35,000 on benefits each year!

 

[Jary]

I didn't watch it but saw clips. Gosh sounds mad! My gran had 11 children but always made sure they were clean and well fed even with the very little money they had. Couldn't imagine having loads of children!

 

[Hann12]

31 weeks today! Time is flying! Kind of happy about the rest of the time going slowly because as much as I want to meet the new little arrival I also know its going to be a big change for me and Annabelle. She's such a happy girl now and I hear all these horror stories of the older toddler going all jealous and upset and I'm so scared of upsetting her. We are so close that I'd hate for that to change

 

[nearlythere38]

HAnn totally natural for u to feel that way. I was same with my oldest. Really worried about him feeling jealous n pushed out. But he didnt, he loved his little brother straight away and Ive never known him yet to show any jealous tendencies towards him. Although he was clearly aware of the changes in the house because he began wetting the bed after being dry for several months, and unfortunately still does now. X

 

[Hann12]

Thanks, I hope that's what happens, she's only going to be 21-22 months though so I'm worried she won't understand it all. I'm practising my holding a toy baby every now and then - she normally pulls it away from me and throws it on the floor then climbs on my lap! Not a great sign but hope the real thing will be okay!!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Happy 31 weeks Hann, I totally understand where your coming from as I felt the same after I had Thomas. It took Caitlin a while to adjust as she was very spoilt by both sets of grandparents and us (she was the first on both sides) but we just tried to get her involved as much as possible, helping me make bottles up, sorting his bag out when we were going out, putting his nappies in the bin etc.

How is everyone today? It's my birthday today and I got some new soap and glory bath stuff so I'm just going to have a nice long soak in the bath before I take Thomas to nursery, then I'm popping into a friends for a cuppa and meeting another friend for Starbucks and lunch x
