hi girls

hope you're all having a wonderful christmas.

wishing you all a fantastic new year xxx

I feel bad but I feel sad/disappointing because Dh family didn't get the baby anything, at all! All I got from them was a soup pot and blender! My father who I am not very close to sent us 12 baby things!!! I was pretty sure they'd at least get a plush or something!

 

[jtink28]

my in-laws wanted to get the baby things for Christmas, but i said no. i wanted gifts for me! i'm selfish!!
so instead of baby things, i got new clothes, gift cards and things i can use for 4 more months until kidlet shows up.
i'm sure your in-laws will get the baby tons and tons of stuff - maybe they were just thinking you'd like something for yourself?

 

[pinktiara]

We wont get anything for baby until the shower or after hes born so i didn't expect anything. My in laws got us a weekend away at a bed and breakfast and a gift card for dinner from my sister in law so that was nice. My son got spoiled as always so much stuff and nowhere to put it haha.

 

[TTCBean]

Yeah maybe they were being nice and thinking of me... but I'd rather get baby stuff but I'm sure once the time is nearer baby will get loads!

You girls are lucky to get things from your family members. Mine are terrible, I got nothing from my mother or sisters and neither did any of my kids. I didn't see them for Christmas but I could've at least have gotten something mailed for the kids. My in laws treated us nicely but nothing for baby. However, my sister in law told me that she will be planning my baby shower . I feel horrible that I always get the short end of the stick when it comes to my family :/

 

[TTCBean]

Courtney, I feel the same way about my Mom... she didn't send anything, and neither did my sister! I mailed them a package!! They could have done the same.

 

[pinktiara]

I don't talk to my mom or anyone on my side except my cousin and she stayed with us yesterday and today. I am very thankful for a getaway before this baby comes for sure my inlaws are great.

 

[Courtney917]

Sad thing is I do talk to my mom almost everyday. Its so disheartening when they treat you like crap. I doubt they will even come to baby shower .

 

[TTCBean]

Do we have the same mothers? LOL. I talk to mine nearly every day too. and I know she won't come to the baby shower, OR send anything for it.

 

[Courtney917]

LOL!!!! Wow I thought i was the only one!!!!! Isn't it crazy??? Its always this way and it hurts me although I am so used to it. I was very close to my grandma and she passed away two years ago so its exceptionally difficult when my mother acts more like my friend then my mother. I guess there's nothing to do to change it though

 

[Courtney917]

Oh yeah forget sending something that would mean my mom would have to pay postage!

 

[bobbles86]

hugs ladies I'm sorry some of you are feling this way, families are supposed to be close and tight knit, we are very close with both sides I can't imagine it any other way.

saying that though we didn't receive a single thing for baby and didn't buy him anything either... he isn't here yet so I wouldn't expect anyone to buy for him yet... once he's here they can spoil him

xx

 

[TTCBean]

My mother acts more like my friend too than a mother. My grandmother acts more like my mother, we're very close... lately her health hasn't been so good so it's tough being so far from her (I live in MI she lives in Ontario, Canada).

 

[Courtney917]

Wow we have a very similar situation! Aww I hope your grandmas health improves. I know how you feel and it can be very tough. I'm here if you ever want to chat

 

[TTCBean]

Thanks Courtney!

Can baby be this big already? Was feeling movement, then a sudden movement like he had moved more than usual and now I'm feeling a flutter near my rib cage on the right AND the bottom left side. It's like he's moving his fingers and toes at the same time?

 

[BabyMay]

Gender guesses please! I have a better scan that's not 4d I will post later but this is from our 4d scan..... It was so fun.

 

[BabyMay]

Ttc. I feel the same way. It's like I'm being punched on one side then kicked on the other. Haha. I still love it though.

Hey Ladies... Hope we all had a good xmas? ...

Ughhh im soo knackered!!! Xmas night didnt sleep at all, the boys were up coughing, crying and with a high temp... we eventually got up at 8am, in which santa had been of course, so they were straight into presents! paper and boxes everywhere lol... honestly couldnt see the living room floor haha... well we mainly got the boys lego sets!, yeh that was a good idea lol it ended up being me and Lee making up the sets lol so we've sat for hours putting these bloody things together..

Xmas day Layla got some Mothercare blankets from the Mother in law and the boys got mountains of toys! haha the house looks like a toy factory lol

Xmas night no sleep again i forgot what sleepless nights feel like urghhh

Woke today got up at 8am i gave in lol.. so went to the next sale and spoilt the kids rotten mam bought Layla and the Boys alsorts!! on top of what i bought lol

So for me its been good, but god i need sleep and lots of it, i doubt we'll get sleep tonight as the kids are coughing etc at least they enjoyed it thats the main thing
