Families!!!!!! Was DH's bday this weekend and had his (large) family to dinner to celebrate. I dont have agood relationship with my MIL as some of you may recall so have been dreading baby comments, but so far she has taken little interest in the pregnancy. However, this weekend she told me I had snubbed her family because I had bought a Moses basket and not used the family one. Well, my SIL did tell me a couple of months ago that one of the cousins had a family moses basket and I said great, that would be lovely to carry on the tradition. But then another cousin got pregnant just after me so I figured she would want it and no one had actualy got in touch to offer it to me. Then that cousin had a miscarriage at 11 weeks 9with twins) and it just seemed totally insensitve to contact her sister to ask for the moses basket at that point - besides which I thought it was rude of me to ask for it when no one had actually offered it to me. So, at 34 weeks preggo I decided I couldnt put it off any longer and picked one up at an NCT sale on Saturday morning.

I cant believe MIL was so mean - it isnt like she had ever told me about the family moses basket herself or offered to collect it from her neices house for us (cousins live about 3 hours away in the same town as MIL). She makes me so mad - she hasnt bought anything for the baby yet or taken any interest in it, she was totally unsupportive during IVF and conceiving struggles. Grrrrrrrr.

Thanks for listening to me moan peeps - just needed to get it off my chest.

 

[MsJMouse]

Mrs Max. How rude of her. You would think someone would have offered it to you by now if they wanted you to use it.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Mrsmax I don't know how you held back I'm not a very confrontational person but the stories of your MIL make me so mad I'd have had to say something! I feel really bad for you, good job you've got your own family to support you & be excited for you! Has DH said anything to her? x

 

[readyORnot]

mrsmax, I'm sorry to hear about how badly your MIL has behaved. I hope you're able to just ignore her. I'd hate for my MIL to treat me like that.

 

[MrsPTTC]

It's been a while since any updates on the thread ladies How are we all? Looking forward to crimbo? Rosa & readyornot, your first xmas's as a family x

Hey ladies,

i just updated my journal but i'll tell the story here too...

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Monday. DH who DID NOT want to know the sex all of a sudden decided he might like to know once i was covered in ultrasound goo. i said no way. Although it was tempting.

i had my monthly appt with the OB on Wednesday and he said the ultrasound looked good and the my cervix was long and closed. Near the end of the appointment i mentioned that i have been having sporadic cervix pains in the past week or so - pinching, almost like a pap smear, and only lasts a second or two. They tend to come in groups then i won't feel them again for a day or so. i figured it was just the kid kicking me. He then decided to send me for another ultraound in 2 weeks because my cervix, although in the normal range, is on the short side. He said they don't start to get concerned until it is 25mm and mine is 27. Ummm...that's awfully close. i think he saw the panic in my eyes so he scheduled the u/s. He did not seem that concerned - in fact he said that he wouldn't have mentioned it to me had i not brought up the pains (which he is pretty sure is just stretching).

i've made the mistake of talking to Dr. Google about this and...more panic! There are a million stories of women being immediately put on bedrest at 27mm (or even in the 30mm range. Apparently 40mm is ideal). Or going into preterm labour. My OB didn't give me any restrictions. So i've been trying to take it easy as i can/stay off my feet more than normal (easier said than done) and calm down. Ugh.

i hope everyone is doing well and ready for the holidays Pink, your little one must be here now!

 

[rosababy]

A-step AWAY from Dr. Google! Seriously, I was bad about that myself. I freaked myself out about everything. I'm SURE everything is fine. If your doc was really concerned, he would have said something. Good for you for you for sticking to your guns about team yellow! I couldn't do it!

We're doing good and enjoying the Christmas season with Jack. Taking lots of fun pics. Off to post one in my journal.

 

[MsJMouse]

I agree with Rosa - keep away from Dr Google. I am sure if your doc was really worried he would have said something and he is keeping an eye on it which is good. I scared the crap out of myself when my scan showed a low placenta - my doc wasn't overly concerned and it turned out okay cause the placenta has moved.

I am trying to get energy up to decorate the house - so far the tree is up but everything else is still in boxes I keep thinking if I get it out I will just have put it away a an when I have even less energy. I am definitely in countdown mode at work - only 9 more working days!!!

Congrats to Pink on the birth of her little boy!!!

Lots of team yellow on this thread - very exciting!!

 

[mrsmax]

Hi ladies :wave: First day of maternity leave today On the sofa in my pjs and dressing gown, curtains still closed and breakfast TV on Could get used to this. Still thinking about work though - hopefully that will stop soon.

PLans today = stroll in to town to buy christmas paper, wrapping Christmas presants (which I love) and start watching Downton Abbey - my friend has lent me season 1 on dvd and I have never seen it. Can't wait. We also have a breathing class tonight

Aisak - as the others have said, I am sure it will be fine or your doctors would have said something. Can understand why you are worried though - Google can be evil!!

Rosa - the pics of Jack on fb are the cutest I have ever seen. You have so much fun with the lil guy it is wonderful.

Cant belive I am due 4 weeks today!! How did that happen? This time last year we were meeting with IVF doctors and learning about drugs and injections etc etc. What a difference 12 months makes

 

[MsJMouse]

Sounds like an awesome day mrsma

 

[rosababy]

thanks mrsmax. we ARE having fun with jack! can't take enough pics of this little cutie.

your day sounds so perfect. and yay for mat leave!! Is it very cold where you live? Do you have snow yet?

msj, only 9 more working days!! that's so exciting! how long will you take off?

 

[mrsmax]

Hi Rosa - it is quite cold, but we dont really get much snow as I am right on the coast. We usually get it once or twice a year though and I love it!! It is such a novelty. Temp here is about freezing at night and a little over in the daytime. We have a nice open fire at home so I love lighting that - it is so cosy! We had a roaring fire last night with lots of candles watching the football (DH and I watch American football every Sunday night - we are seahawks fans as I lived there for a year when I was a teen). Life is good at the moment

MsJ- cant wait till you get to be on mat leave too - I can highly recommend it!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Yay for reviving the thread! I didn't know Pink had had a little ! Congrats Hun! can't wait to hear your story & his name/ weight etc..

Aw rosa your new avatar of Jack is so cute! Pm me your email address & I'll find you on facey? We had snow last week, it wasn't very deep but caused havoc as it froze over, the roads were terrible. It took dh 2.5 hrs to get home instead of 30/40 mins...

Mrsmax your day has sounded great! I'm so excited for you! It seems like 5 mins you were announcing your BFP!

Aisak my dh did the same thing with wanting to find out, but I refused! (Then felt cruel!) sorry to hear you're worried about your cervix but try not to especially cos of google. Hope everything's ok

MsJ, not long for you either! excellent!

How's everyone else? How's our TTC ladies? Regal, Jogu, Soleil?
