[fluttery]

Really wish you were a bit closer Lex.. =)

Thank you ladies for your ideas and taking the time to listen to me..
I posted on Facebook some of this and a girl that I met online 3 years ago, never met her in person, said she would come over and watch her. =) She lives about 30 mins. away. I met her on a website when we were both preg. with our first. So she will come by tomorrow so we can meet in person and let the kids play together.. I do hope she works out..

wonderful!

That's great as long as you feel you can trust her! I can't believe your mil is so heartless and as for your bil, he's 19! Does he not have his own mind? Hope it all works out for you xx

 

[mama_t]

that is great news! hope it works out

I'm glad that you may have found someone to help you out! I'm scared this may happen with me as well. We have 2 kids, no day care or baby sitters and my family doesn't live nearby. Last time my mother lived close by and I was lucky to be induced so I could plan it a little and she watched our son. My husbands family cant be counted on to watch them because they have their own responsibilities and camping trips they would refuse to not go on. This time around I know my husband won't be able to spend all night with me like he did after we had our other two. I guess time will tell. I would be heartbroken if hubby couldn't be their for the birth. My sister had her daughter by herself because labor came on too fast and progressed fast as well. Not something you want to do, but as long as you and baby come out safe and healthy that's all that really matters I guess.

That's great that you have found someone to watch your little one whilst you're in labour. I hope it works out

We don't have anyone to look after LO either at the moment... I don't have any family to help (only child, mum died 4 years ago and Dad lives a long way away and openly admits he wouldn't have a clue what to do... never changed a single one of my nappies or did anything towards looking after me when I was little!) I keep asking OH to try and sort something with his family but they all live a VERY long way away too and obviously without knowing exactly when things will get moving that makes things very difficult. We don't have any friends with children either so although we could probably find someone for a few hours during the day, from experience of giving birth first time round that wouldn't really be a lot of help.

Fingers crossed things work out for you xx

Blue horse, where abouts do you live? I'm based in Bolton, Manchester way. I'd be happy to help if needed and I'm close enough.
It's rubbish hearing people struggling like this. I'm lucky because even tho my mom lives in the middle east, we've got a support team around us.

yayyyyy!!!!

Well, I do hope she works out. I asked her yesterday if she could come this week for a visit so we can meet before I have to leave Ysanja (my 3yr old) alone with her and her kids. She said yes, tomorrow (meaning today) after 1pm. So we were all excited for that. Then I get a text that she can't make it because her boys are not cooperating.. =(.. I hope this don't happen when I go into labor..

Ya, I really don't know what the big idea is to why she wont let him. My daughter loves spending time with him too. Hubby and I went on a tour of the hospital couple weeks ago and he watched her for about 4 hours. And he watched her before for 2 hours. Every time he comes by, which is not often, his mom calls him a thousand times. This kid is in college and thought he had his own mind. This family is just weird I guess. Maybe the mom don't like me because hubby use to stay the night over there on his days off before I came into the picture. Her and I don't really have much of a relationship. Plus she speaks little English..
