Plus, since she did such a bang up job on her own kids (selfish serial adulterers both) I don't really want her around my kids. That and she'll spend all her tme saying poisonous thngs about THEIR Grandma.

 

[Mom 2B]

I think you have a very good point to be mad about. You should calland tell her that she should hire someone to take care of her because you and OH can not do it. That would just be way to much on your plates with work and a baby.

good luck

My MIL is not too bad just OCD with health and safety and full of advice which is like a stuck record. I learn to ignore it!

Naomi, I had some really bad hicks last night and again thought wooooo this could be it but then I fell asleep Always seems to be at night! I am also going to the loo ALOT (normally constipated) and I have lots of CM. I certainly dont think I will make due date this time!

Hopefully You will have LO on time

Hi ladies. I've finally attached pics of Jade Abrielle Brown. So in love!!!

 

[iprettii]

today is the day of my baby shower and boy o boy I cannot wait for this day to be over and it's only 9:05am...

I feel like no one is going to show up because of course it decides to rain ALL DAY today this is just what I didn't need.

How did your shower turn out? Hope you had a wonderful time!

The baby shower was absolutely wonderful!!! Thank you for asking.

rcbrown - she's BEAUTIFUL!!

 

[Mom 2B]

Oh my what gorgeous girl....congrats again!!!!!

Oh finally gave me a list of names he likes. And I must admit I do like a few. One is definatly top the list. he really likes another. Its his middle name and my dads first name....im not really kean on naming baby after relatives who are still with us thou. And I can't use it as middle name because we already have 2 middle names picked after ppl who passed.

I will post the names in a little while Im just trying to rank them right now.

Rachel, what a beautiful little girl. How are her night feeds and sleeping patterns. Are you enjoying playing dress-up, lol? I can't wait for all that!

Naomi, your MIL is crazy - you're not lying to Eloise. All kids need fantasy and it's for us to control what's good fantasy and what's bad. My son eventually figured out for himself that Santa is make-believe and was quite proud of himself for figuring it out and now he thinks he is so big because all his little cousins still believe in Santa, lol. We had so much fun leaving cookies and milk out for Santa and it creates magical moments for them that they will always cherish.

On my scan they took all the measurements again and at 36+2 the head and abdomen were measuring ahead at just over 38 weeks (I thik the head was a little bigger even) but the legs were measuring at 34 weeks. I had the same happen last time and my last baby came out at a normal length and average weight. I think these estimations of size by fundal height and scan can be quite off.

 

[jojo-m]

Littlemrs tell her to piss off! How ridiculas? And tell her soon that way she has no excuse not to sort out proper services for her! She clearly is a few slices short of a loaf! X

 

[jojo-m]

Rachel your daughter is gorgeous, congrats again xx

 

[Fraggles]

Im so lucky I dont see ex inlaws.... my mum is good she buys sensible things. She's buying a new swing for baby. Ive not got lots of new clothes as my LO has so much stuff thats pristine. It feels weird buying newborn stuff again when im still only buying 9-12 month stuff. I actually got excited the other day as my LO fitted a 12-18 months t-shirt al be it its slightly baggy

I had a lovely wake up to a massive boot in the ribs from baby. He's still not as active as normal but the doctors reassured me it could take a few days for him to resettle after the accident. Off to see midwife tomorrow then might go shopping and finish off everything I need for Christmas and the baby.

Wish it would stop raining here as ive loads of parcels to take to the post office this morning and then need to start sorting the lounge out so we can et the decorations up.

Will pop in later for all who need them and in regards inlaws just ignore them best you can im sure Christmas makes them go battier than normal.

 

[LittleMrs]

Rachel, your little girl is beautiful such huge, dark eyes and lovely hair, and doesn't she look like her mummy (judging from your avatar). Congratulations.

 

[Fraggles]

jojo loving he new avatar picture

 

[jojo-m]

Thanks fraggles, feel huge now, least I got a pic while I was dressed up to go out, made me feel a bit better than my usually pale Ill looking self lol!

I've finally given up trying to sleep my back is killing! The LO come creeping into our bed last night too and he's heavy breathing!

Fraggles have they booked you a dare for your section yet? And did haematology get back to you? X

Lots to read again ladies - I wonder if there will be this much when we've all got our demanding newborns to care for lol!

Tracey - I agree with everyone. You have got quite enough on your plate and to have an elderly relative thrust into your life all of a sudden wouldn't be right for you at this time! Especially when, likeyou said, she doesn't even know you, nto to mention her attitude and loss of mental capacity. Crazyness that people think they can just drop things like that on other people. It will take some courage but hope you can call and say your piece, it's her mother at the end of the day and she needs to make sure she is taken care of beforew she goes off galivanting round the world. O and not long till you finish now WOOOOOOP!!!

Naomi - christmas is one of the most magical times for parents and young children. I can't wait for bean to be aware of the magic of santa and what he does. Ignore and carry on lol!

Sarah - so glad youv got Joe home!! Enjoy hunny!

Rachel - your daughter is beautiful. Congratulations hun

Jo - its so nice to get dressed up isn't it! I enjoyed getting all dressed up on satdy night for our parent meal. It took longer than usual but it was nice to look nice for a change lol!

iprettii - glad you enjoyed your baby shower after you weren't really looking forward to it that much. Bet you had a lovely day.

Well me and OH went to the pub last night to sit and chat about baby and birth plans and stuff that has come up at the antenatal classes. The NCT are awesome and give you so much info and things to think about. We decided not to chat at home so we giva the conversation our full attention and didn't get distracted by tv or anything else. We had a really good chat and wrote our plan together. He tries to over complicate stuff so it was nice to sort it all out with him. We are both feeling so excited and scared all at the same time, its nice to be on the same page.

In other news we ended up being so loving with each other after the convo last night that we *tmi alert* had a bit of sex this morning! Wooop! It wasn't the most amazing session, it was just nice to be so close to him when we haven't done it for soooo long. I was very aware of bean, very low down in my tummy and so couldn't concentrate, but it was just so loving and nice.

Today I am nesting again lol! I have cleaned the bathroom and even taken off the shower head to soak it in vinegar to clean it. Gonna do some present wrapping soon and then some baking this afternoon! Fun times!

xxxxx

Yay for some hanky panky and nesting

I am off out for lunch with girls at work today, we are exching Secret santa! Crap nights sleep!

 

[Fraggles]

My haematologist is at the rubbish hospital so im not hopeful. The maternity unit are doing some haemorrhage tests or something on my blood. My meds will be doubled after baby comes. Ive got my date for section but keeping it a surprise for now what with family issues. It's after the New Year though.

Smiffy sounds like going out for the chat was a great idea.

 

[sar35]

wow rachel congrats she is beautiful and looks so alert, when did you have her? hope you are both well x
my first night at home went well, Joe woke ever 3-4 hours for a feed, I feel very tired today!!! but i suppose i'll get used to that, OH is still off so thats a help. Joe is so quiet he harldy ever cries which is a bonus. MW came today she gonna check my bloods next week and try and get me something different to iron tablets as they are messing with my bowels. hope the rest of the jellybeans are well x
