Lovely bump Paula and welcome kelly!

I have got hubby in to the tv series 24! I remember my parents watched it a few years ago and I saw the box set in hmv the other day. Went on love film tonight and there are 8 series on there! Watched 2 episodes tonight and hubby is hooked gives us something to do together to pass the time until Alfie arrives. A few episodes a week should keep us busy!

Great bump paula

Welcome Kelly :wave:

AFM - had a little scare yesterday! When I went to bed on Friday night I kept getting braxton hicks and they were coming regularly, so I got up had a drink and got back in bed, had a couple more and started wondering of I should call to go in and then they must have settled down because I fell asleep and woke up in the morning with no more. So we get ready and go out to meet friends and I go to the bathroom and I see blood in my underwear and immediately think great, that means a trip to get checked because of my history So off we go to the hospital and iget put on the monitor, baby is fine and wriggling away, then I get everything else checked as well as a speculum by the doctor and another swab taken (goodness knows how many I've had done now this pregnanacy!) and then she checks the ctg and confirms baby is fine, my cervix is long and closed (phew!) and there is no sign of anymore bleeding
Away we go, in less than an hour of being there, and meet up with our friends for lunch . Little wotsit is just trying to keep me on my toes I think

Sorry to hear about your little scare baby maybe - glad everything is ok though!

Our scan went well today - here are 2 of our best pics...

Was so lovely getting a good shot of his face also went to the shops this afternoon and bought him his going home outfit - was so exciting! Unfortunately the shopping trip didn't end so well when hubby got in a big strop when I wouldn't let him get some lights and a fluorescent jacket for his bike. They were over £100 in total and we just don't have the money at the moment with him having had a week and a half off for Xmas (unpaid as he is self employed). He then moaned about how he never gets anything and how I'm boring. I HATE it when he has a pathetic strop - he wanted a new tv the other day which I let him have, and I got him a big iPod dock for Xmas so he is hardly hard done by. The problem is with him that once he wants something he wants it immediately and can't wait for it. Drives me mad sometimes. I've tried everything to get him to realise how pathetic he is when he goes off in one of his moods but he just doesn't change. Arghh!!

Thanks rose

Those pics are lovely, I really wanted a 3d scan this time but not only did we have to consider how much is was, but we have a boat trip to get to nearest one to us and I couldn't face the thought of having to go back again if we couldn't get good pics the first time!

My DH is little like yours. He doesn't do much stropping, but he likes to be able to buy what he wants when he wants it and sometimes forgets that we have 3 kids to buy clothes/shoes/food for! lol

 

[rose.]

Thanks I had mine as my Xmas present, as you're right they are quite expensive. We also got a good deal on it too as it was reduced in December! Our scan place is only a 10 minute drive so it was very easy. Would have definitely been a pain having to go back if it was further!

Ugh, I hate it when they are selfish. He even tried saying I can spend £30 on an outfit for Alfie yet he can't get what he needs. I had a big go at him and said how dare he put his wants before the needs of his son. Most of the time he is fine but he does get stroppy if he doesn't get his own way. Much like a child really! He is going to have to get used to it, as once Alfie is here there won't be any spare money at all.

 

[baby_maybe]

Too right the men can go without when there are others needs to consider, it won't kill them. Although I have had to convince my DH to reduce his racing budget for this year so that we stand a chance of trying to save some money to be able to move into a bigger house. We all will fit here just, but it's not ideal!

 

[rose.]

That's the thing, we also want to move in a few years time. It's ages away so hubby just doesn't think about it. But the more we save now the easier it will be! I never buy things for myself either so hubby isn't the only one who doesn't get everything he wants. I just don't moan about it, so he probably doesn't realise there are things I want that I just don't get. Ahh men. Maybe one day he will grow up!!

 

[sportysgirl]

Excellent photos Rose, bet it was an amazing experience!

 

[rose.]

Thanks! Yeah it was, I'm so glad we went

 

[baby_maybe]

I don't think men ever grow up!

 

[sethsmummy]

I cant agree more! My dh is exactly the same! Hes already started moaning about wanting xbox games for his birthday in April... what did i get a £1 bar of chocolate! He does the same as your dh rose.. moans everyone else gets but him.. yet when he moans and moans i normally give in just to make him shut the hell up. I dont buy anything for myself but do buy for DS whenever i see something i think he will like. He got in a mood with me last week because instead of letting him get something he wanted (loads of sweets) i got bath stuff for babies bath box. It really bugs me!

 

[rose.]

Glad I'm not the only one!! I would normally have just given in but last week he went on and on about the tv and I let him get one, and he promised he wouldn't want anything else for ages, but now he seems to have forgotten about that completely!

I just hope when Alfie is here he will have something to focus on other than what he wants. He's been in a grump all evening on YouTube. I've just left him to it and got on with lots of tidying, have had a very productive evening

 

[sethsmummy]

just remind him that he only just bought a brand new T.V and list everything you still need for baby x

 

[rose.]

Have done! His usual response is 'we've still got 2 months it will be fine!'

He's given up on his strop now, persuaded him to watch a couple of episodes of 24 which cheered him up unfortunately he's going away tomorrow until Friday to work, but maybe it will give him some time to think about appreciating me! Ha ha

 

[Kellycool]

Ahhhhh scan pics are so cute!!
My hubby is opposite! I have to beg him to spoil himself sometimes but being an accountant it's all about the budget. And we've just bought a new house so things will have to be tight for a while. Doesn't bother me too much as have most things for baby already

Getting so excited my word, albeit a tad nervous for labour and hoping I won't need to be induced again!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend xxxx

Lol since the baby is on the way my oh has wanted to spend money too!.. We actually just bought a new tv as well...after we purchased this he told me he wanted a punching dummy for in the basement... lol i just looked at him completley confused!!! LOl i asked him very politly why the h*LL would he want to waste his money on that when we have a baby on the way...he said to let out his frustrations...omg I've never even seen an ounce of frustration in my oh!! let a lone the urge to work out!! I asked if he had a fear of not being able to spend money on himself once the baby comes..is initial response was no..then he was agreed he did.. I explained that the tv would have to suffice for now and later we can get other things, but even though i know that we are getting a lot of big stuff at my baby shower there will be more we need still...

 

[rose.]

Hm maybe my oh is worried about not being able to spend money on himself when Alfie's here then... I'd never thought of it like that. Isn't it funny when they come up with something they really want to buy and you're just like what?! Ha
