*~* May 2013 - Spring Babies*~* 117 Jelly Babies - 22 Boy's & 19 Girl's - 5 Babies :D

Lol LP! My MIL would def be the same! She constantly makes comparisons about how much time my mum has with DD! She doesn't get that when she visits she stays for 3-4 days whereas my mum comes more frequently but for a day at a time grrr
 
I live next door to my MIL and you can see the jealousy oozing from my mum, whenever she says something about MIL her face turns all evil and almost disgusted, and the first time she came for a visit here, she spent the entire week complaining and not appreciating anything about where I live. In reality when I spend more than a week with my parents at home, the novelty of having me there wears off quickly and they get bored of spending time with me and DH and whenever I speak they seem so distant, and then the bitchy comments start. and at my home I can go weeks without seeing my MIL unless I happen to go outside at the same time as she does :haha: she's an annoying woman and I avoid her as much as possible, I think in my mums head i'm hanging out with them everyday and being all pally with them and maybe even calling them mum and dad :haha: that couldn't be further from the truth :D
 
i guess i'm kindof lucky, because even though i don't love my in-laws, they are quiet about their opinions. they are uber-crazy-religious, and tend to keep their warped and strange views to themselves. (my FIL thinks women wearing pants is obscene (?), and that drinking is the way of the devil...yeah.)

the only thing i've had a problem with is that my FIL wants to be at the hospital when the baby is born. i'm a naturally extremely private person, and can't stand the idea that someone will be waiting for me to deliver the baby. (with his other grandchild, there is a picture of him holding the baby WHILE the mother is still in stirrups, getting stitched. NO FREAKING WAY.) we've told him we'll call him when we are ready for visitors, but he can't understand, and is very upset about it, saying things like, "it's MY grandchild!" he doesn't understand that it's MY child, and he had his chance with his 4 boys. we've decided we just aren't telling him or MIL when i go into labor - we'll just call and say, "oh, by the way, jackson was born yesterday. do you want to come see him now?" heheheee. :haha: ah, the joys of in-laws!!!

my parents live 2,000 miles away, so i don't have to deal with that, but i miss them terribly, and kinda wish they were here to annoy me!!
 
I've had a migraine going on 24 hours... yuck. I am feeling pretty fatigued so I took my blood pressure, it's 91/61. Pretty low, explains why I am so tired lately!
 
I know how you feel ttc, I have naturally low blood pressure but think its got even lower, better get to the doctors as last time it went really low, bottom number under 50. Feeling sick and faint a lot. Doesn't help that I think the baby is in a weird position and may be kicking an organ because I feel worse when I feel kicks
 
i also have naturally low BP - it runs in my family. (it's better than high BP, but it can make you feel icky all the same!)
if you start feeling very badly, let your doctor know. if you don't normally have really low BP, it's something the doctor should be aware of.
hope you feel better very soon!!! i'm in chicago, so i know that there's nothing worse than feeling crappy on a freezing midwest winter day when you can't go outside. :(
 
Thanks hann and jtink - I have normally low bp too, it's just been lower this pregnancy. I'm usually around 107/65 or so prepregnancy. I'll be calling my midwife if this headache doesn't go away by late afternoon.

jtink, I am about 2.5 hours away from you (Kalamazoo), so we're probably experiencing the same weather, it's so yucky outside! I want sunshine... thank goodness we're giving birth in the spring!
 
i know, ttc! this weather stinks. i am SO happy the baby will be born in the spring, and my maternity leave is going to happen in the summer! yay!
 
Hello ladies.... Hope everyone is having a great day & staying warm. The high here today is set for 30 F with a low of 15 F tonight.... EEEEKKKK! I live in West Central Texas for a reason darn it!!!!

Well I made it back from my 1 hour GTT test... Keeping my fingers crossed that I passed!!! I really do not want to go back for the 3 hour test. I find it a little ridiculous that they don't get the test results for 48-72 hours, that's total BS! I wish I would have taken my meter with me so I could have checked it & known myself in 2 seconds.....

We got our living room floor sanded & refinished this weekend! I left for my cousin's baby shower on Saturday & came home to a house full of dust!!! I almost freaked out at first, but DH ushered me into our bedroom where I spent the remaining part of the evening until all the dust settled. I have to admit.... He did a FANTASTIC job & they look amazing! I tried taking a couple of pictures yesterday, but I couldn't get any to take that show the floor the justice it deserves. Something about the lighting when I take a picture it changes the way it looks completely....

Wishing everyone a great day!!!!
 
TTC bean my BP is normally around 90/65 so I dread to think what it could be now! Must get it checked!
 
ladies in the US, this might be something to look into, if you're wanting to breastfeed.

i found out today that my insurance covers the rental of a breastpump 100%. meaning that i won't have to buy a breastpump or pay for the rental! instead of buying one at the store, i can rent one through my OB or hospital, and the hospital bills my insurance instead of me. how amazing is that?? i have United Health.

just thought i would pass that info along, as it just saved me over $300!!!
 
Thanks for the info jtink! Wish I would have thought about that before I got mine. But I'm not going to complain. I got a great deal on mine. I paid only $90.00 for a $300.00 pump.
 
Lovely scan photos lpjkp! He looks so sweet xxx

Cold here too but thankfully no snow yet where I am- phew. Everyone really wants it to snow but it does make life really difficult for getting to work and i dont like driving/walking around in icy conditions with my precious bundle and my little ones. I'm very good at slipping on my bum!

Got grotty headache today too work just dragged and dragged today. Am hoping to actually sleep tonight and have more energy for it all tommorow.

I love my MIL- shes hugely untactful but she never intends to upset she was just brought up in the east end of London and they don't tread carefully on anyones toes. We are the conplete opposite but we get on really well and I know she would do anything for me. I'm very lucky to have her as I don't really have a good relationship with my stepmother and my own Mum died when I was a wee one.

I must admit I am dreading being a Mil one day just cos I worry I will just get it all wrong and be the baddy one but I hope I will just be able to be a loving and yet underbearing as possible (tricky balance lol). I really feel for you with difficult relationships as so hard when you have children as there seems this pressure to spend more time with them :-/xxx
 
I forgot to mention...


��I'm having a girl��

I got some bargain nappies the other night :haha: Nappies

19 of them for 99p! with loads of liners. No idea what there gonna be like and no idea if i need to use outer wraps with them... so we shall see :)
 
Wow Babee! Worth the 99p I'm sure, even if its just for the material or the boosters!
 
Yeah definately worth getting for 99p, wow, hope they are amazing and a better bargain than you imagined :D
 
Where did you get a deal that good Babee?

I thought I did we'll today with getting 2 BG Flip covers (1 pink, 1 Lovelace - my favourite) 6 flip inserts, a brand new TB Nature Girl Flexiwrap and 2 econobums prefolds for £30 including post. :) All washed but never used more than a couple of times if at all.

Really shouldn't have after the Itti sale yesterday but I've been wanting some flips.
 
Bargain cupcake! I bought some new flips on sale the other day £15 including an insert each for 2. Heard they are good but yet to try them!
