January Jellybeans 2013!...

[BlossomJ]

I only have 3 weeks left at work, and as I'm part time and need to take a days leave too as ds's school is shutting for the police commissioners election (grrr), it means I only have 8 days left!!!!!!

I can't say I'm voting in that lol, heard an interview of one of the candidates for an area on radio 4 & it became pretty apparent there's not enough flexibility for them to affect any real change anyway... Doesn't seem worth spending the time researching the candidates now!.... 8 days is nothing, how scary & exciting!

Ducky - I'm not going to add anything to what's been said as I think you've had some great advice. Just wanted to say that I hope DS is OK & that although he may be anxious about the change, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll find it hard once the baby here & he knows what it is actually like to have a younger sibling. I hope he is more settled soon & I'm sure in the end he'll be glad you had the baby

La Mere - Loving the pillow! All the boys at my school had to take sewing & when I was buying my sewing machine DH was telling me which ones were best in his opinion

Sonia - Glad the end is in sight & congratulations to your DH! They must have been really impressed with his interview

I won't be voting either blossom, I don't even know who is standing in my area, that's how badly this entire stupid thing has been organised!

 

[mellywelly]

Thanks ladies

Melly - how you feeling now? Better I hope x

I'm fine thanks Sonia. The day after I'd posted about feeling weird, I picked my boss up and she was complaining about feeling the same way, and I hadn't told her how I'd been feeling, so must have just been a bit of a bug going round.

Hope your work has slowed down a bit now, it can't be easy when your in the last bit of your pregnancy When do you finish? And did you decided if you are going to your Xmas party?

We had some sort of local election the other day that I was totally ignorant of until an hour before it closed. In Australia you get fined for not voting so I seriously had to race over there and vote blind. It was terrible! I had no idea who was who and who stood for what

 

[mellywelly]

I'm fed up with dh and baby names! I suggested months ago Jake for a boy and he hated it. So we have had Ellis picked out for a while now, then yesterday he decides he doesn't like it any more. Ds walks in and said we were calling he baby either mickey or Minnie, but hen said what about jake? Dh looked at me and said he really liked it, grrrrrrr!

I still like jake but I think Jake Mann is a bit short and stumpy?

It's just a huge waste of money!

Our voting turn outs are usually quite low, maybe if they fined us, more people would do it?

Oh dear! If that's the system they operate they really need to get the information out there more effectively!

I really love the name Ellis, but I quite like Jake too. Do you want to have a definite name picked out before hand? Maybe you could keep them both on the table & decide which suits the baby more.... What were your girls names Melly?

 

[mellywelly]

I'd like a few of each and then choose after baby is born.

As for girls, ds insists it has to be Minnie, dh likes Scarlett and I like hetty and Nellie. Sophia is still floating around too.

I lied... My night did get more fun. Had sudden severe stomach cramps and had to run to the bathroom and had diarrhea! (sorry tmi)... That was so bizarre because I've felt fine and feel ok now. I hope I can fall back asleep so I'm not a zombie at work!

I get like that too!! feel better!

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was ready for labor, so when we arrived at the hospital Dr. told me I was having quadruplets LOL I told them I didn't know, that I thought it was just one baby boy. So the nurses started making a big fuss over me now knowing, and called the news!!!!!!! I was running up and down the hospital's halls trying to get away from the reporters that wanted to talk to the mom that didn't know she was having quadruplets!

I think my dream was better. Labor was quick, one push and she was out and perfectly healthy!! NOW that'd be a dream come true.

 

[snowangel187]

Nothing better than waking up at 2:45 am drenched in sweat and needing some Tums!! Oh, the joys of pregnancy

This has been a nightly occurance for me lately. I hate it!!

Sounds great!... If only

Melly - Good luck with the names. It sounds like you got some nice ones to choose from though.

It's hard enough when there are only two people involved in the suggestions & when you already know what you're having!

Let's talk about crazy dreams. Last night I was a part of a special ops team with Daniel Craig (oh yeah!) and Mark Harmon (another oh yeah!). I had a gun and a extra clip of bullets as well as some sort of thin tool to stab with. We were on a mission to completely destroy this island building with all these horrible criminals in it - no matter what means necessary. I never got to the point where I actually killed someone but we were all set up for an ambush. It was insane but I didn't mind the company.

AMAZING! I seem to be having nightmares, which is not like me AT ALL. chased by zombies in one and in a house full of dead bodies in another, unable to find my brother - SO weird. I'd prefer yours!

 

[mellywelly]

I had one the other night where I was a man and had been hired to kill this woman. I had to start a relationship with her in order to get close enough to kill her, and just as I was about to kill her she tried to kill me! It turned out she was a hit woman employed to kill me! I think it's he first dream I've ever had where I'm not me in the dream!

Are you not going for Elsie anymore?
