July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[MamaBear518]

I know I'm getting overwhelmed. We just got a verbal eviction notice from my grandfather (we live in his house) who doesn't except this baby at all and wants us out. So now we get to hurry up and try to save for an apartment somewhere in 30 days on top of having 2 showers coming up in June, ontop of being 7 1/2 months preggs. I guess luckly the only thing we have so far for LO is her carseat and some clothes, and we don't have to take apart her crib or anything massive just to move. And luckly I'm not like a week away from my due date having to move out, but now its just piling up :/ Everything happens for a reason though, and in a way I'm thankful bc I don't want to bring Lilie somewhere she isn't welcome and I don't want her around the alcoholic neighbors/cousins next door. Blessing in disguise I guess...

One more sleep until my 3D/4D scan and hopefully my gender reveal, ladies.

I'm really sorry to hear all that Mamabear. I hope everything works out and you guys can find a great place right away!

WOW Mamabear, your grandfather sounds like a lovely person. I cannot imagine someone so bloody bitter over a precious baby

 

[MamaBear518]

He's absolutely terrible. He's had me so physically sick over the entire thing, which has been escalating since I found out I was preggo, that my mom (his daughter) has told him to just leave me alone from here on out. I was so ill and stressed the last time he showed up here, and I told him the effect he was having on me and how it isn't good on the baby and he said and I qoute " I don't care, it's not my problem." That pretty much threw me and my parents over the edge with him. If he doesn't care that he could potentially throw me into premature labor, etc... then I don't care that he will NEVER see his great grandchild. Sucks for him that I'm the only child so if he doesn't see my kids, he won't see any of his grandchildren. I never would have thought that a close family member would pull the crap he has, and have absolutely no remorse about it. And its not just me he's doing it to either, my mom is getting married in August and had been building her dream home with her boyfriend and is trying to include her father and he could care less. Only thing he cares about is money and himself....its disgusting.

Mamabear - I am sorry you are going thu such ahorrible ordeal. Sounds like he is not happy and wants to feel better by making everyone else unhappy too. It may be better to cut ties for now. What is important is your family and those who love you back.

Hey everyone, just back from the baby show and spent all my money oops. Got some awesome buys though including a sling carrier, nursing pillow, changing mat, breast pump and cuddle me dry towel. Very pleased, very tired. How is everyone else doing with their baby shopping?

 

[puppycat]

Apple i went to the baby show yesterday and bought cloth nappies and a bf pillow. We've got pretty much everything from Laura so don't need much but i want to get a sling.

 

[apple_20]

puppy did you try any slings at the show? i got a fabric closer-carrier one and had a demo to see if i liked it first.

 

[DHime]

Haven't spent any of my own money yet at all.
I have a bunch of spitt rags, a bouncy thing for when he starts wanting to stand, a swing someone gave me, and 4 outfits. Gotta get on the ball.
Still going thru my home to throw out anything I don't need. MIL is taking me shopping for furniture soon and i have 2 showers coming up in june.

Started studying the bradley birthing method. Anyone else looking into this yet?
Also, is anyone else having pain in the bladder area? I feel like I may have a uti but no discoloration in urine or anything. Maybe my bladder is bruised from all the kicking...

 

[puppycat]

Apple I was really disappointed with the slings (or lack of) at the show.

I just want material, no fancy fastenings or big metal rings to adjust etc

 

[apple_20]

There wasn't many at all but I liked the close ones though they have rings. First time mum so I hope it works out!

Jmandrews she is absolutely gorgeous! Luv the nursery!

apple thanks hun..... luv your scan pic too. I feel awful all of the time have done since I got pregnant dont think it will get better til she gets out

Hiya Cingraa Im new here on this thread. Sorry things have been tough. Im having a girl and she is going to be called Olivia Marie

MamaBear so sorry you are going through this but your right everything does happen for a reason.

Bug lovely bump!

Twicky yay to team pink!

They dont really do baby showers here in the UK and certainly no baby shows where I am from. Im not worried about setting the nursery up until after she is born as she will be in our room for the first couple of months and will just start buying 0-3 once I see how big she is.

How is everyone?

Heres my 32 week bump pic
