Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

I'm going to have a little rant here, because i don't think my friends on facebook are going to want to see it. (Non pregnancy related).

So my daughter was refused my first choice of primary school, instead being offered a place at a school that is a good half hour walk from our house, (i don't drive). I wasn't really too bothered at first because my friend's son was also attending. But today my friend's boy has been offered a place at the school of our first choice. And now it is too late for me to appeal.
All my family and hubby's family attended this school, and i really wanted my daughter to go, but there is nothing i can do now.
So now i face a half hour trek heavily pregnant with two children, twice a day come september. And now i won't even have my friend to chat with along the way.

I sound so stupid reading that back, it must be my hormones. I'm just so disappointed that my little girl is going to be at a big scary school all by herself when her friends are all attending another. :(

Sorry guys x
 
Good luck murmers.

COngrats on team pink girl.

Paytonsmommy - I get why you are disappointed..I would be too.
 
Awww Paiytons mummy, I totally understand where you're coming from and I'd feel the same way. It would have been better if the little boy who got in to your first choice of school had of been going to the school your daughter is now going to.

I'm sorry you face a half hour walk now while pregnant, but is there maybe a bus route along the way? I can totally relate to you as I don't drive either and although my little girl isnt starting school until next year I'd be really upset about having to walk a long way to take her to school whilest heavily pregnant and also for her not going to school with anybody she knows.

Is there absolutely no way you can appeal now?

:hugs: x
 
Paiytonsmummy- I'd be upset too. Sucks having to drive that far, especially when you wanted her to be at the other school :( I'm sorry.
 
Thanks ladies. I'm sure it is too late for appeal forms, but i've rung the school and told them i'm bringing one in tomorrow anyway. Hopefully if i keep on at them and maybe pout a little i'll get my way.

You guys are great :)
 
Congrats to Girlnboots

Awaiting news on Murmers scan!! :happydance:

@ Paiytonsmum: I sure hope you can appeal and get into the school that you want :flower:
 
Can't wait to hear the news, Murmurs!

I'm sorry about all of the school hassle, Paiytonsmum. I hope that your appeal form works and that you can get your DD into the school that you had originally hoped for. I'm not sure how the system works over there, but over here if the student doesn't live close enough to walk to school, then the school provides a school bus for transportation. Do they not have school buses over there? :hugs:
 
We are having a (drum roll please)....











Stubborn little shit that is already like its mom. It's sitting on its butt Indian style. Can't tell!
 
OH no, are you going to have another scan a bit later to try and find out or are you going to stay team yellow now?
 
Ladies who had NT scans, have you checked your paperwork to see if theres a clue of gender in your HCG and paPP A numbers? If the equivalent is under 1.0 for both it leans boy, over 1.0 leans girl and one each way 50/50 but I have noticed that a low HCG leans boy even if the PaPP is over 1.0. Just a little more fun to be had before the gender scans lol! For the record my hcg is 0.52 and my nub is very boyish!

Hey, i know this is old but i just got my results today and i am wondering... there are 2 number though... are you talking about the Kiu/L (iu/L) or the MoM?
 
There was no supposed to be a Santa in there lol it was supposed to be the bouncing boobs!
 
:happydance:

Awesome news Murmurs!

I Love that name!! I was thinking about that, but DH said no, lol.
 
Yay for a girl!! Congrats! I figured Santa was there bc knowing its a girl was like Christmas, lol!
