***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[Wiggler]

I'm due 6 weeks before my birthday

But hun, try not to let your fears get you down.

Where the birth is concerned, do research on the different types of pain relief at your hospital, watch youtube birthing videos and remember its what your body is designed for! I did no research last time and found it so overwhelming, I'm already looking up on ways to manage pain releif etc etc

The first month after the baby comes is hard, but so so wonderful!!

My plan for losing baby weight is to go on lots of walks with bubs and Dylan. It'll be summer so the weather will be lovely and I wont be able to resisit showing off my new baby to the world!

I really hope your hubby doesnt get sent away for work, can he not take some of his annual leave around your due date?

xxxxxxxx

We own the company, he represents latin singers and actors so when they have press and media, tours, music videos, premiers, award shows, he's got to be there. We have an office in Miami, LA, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Barcelona and he goes in between all of them. Yea it's very hectic.. so he doesn't get annuals etc. It allows me to not work or work when I feel like it, and allows us to keep the lifestyle we want to live and some, but there are major compromises on time. He is always on his blackberry (has 2), his assistant has become a part of our family(not to my enjoyment), and he travels a lot, I do go with him most of the time but right now I don't want to be sitting on 6-12 hr flights. If anyone has ever seen the show Entourage, My husband is like the latin Ari Gold, but not an asshole, just using the comparison to give you idea of work.

 

[Wiggler]

wow! amazing job!! It must be awful that he cant get some time off though, have you got any friends/family close by that can support you if hubby has to go away for work?

 

[hopefulmama]

My family lives in Spain, my husbands family lives in South America. All of my close friends don't live in the same city as me. So it's hard.

 

[Wiggler]

i know its not much help, but us BnB girlies are always here for you x

 

[hopefulmama]

AWW thanks wiggler!

 

[Wiggler]

No probs hun

OK, this is really embarassing for me but.. Do you ladies know how i can go about making some new friends. I had tonnes before i had Dylan, but they arent the type of people you want around kids so i have been kinda lonely since i had Dylan. I went to a mum and toddler group once, but i am sooo shy, and all the poeple there were a lot older and quite a bit posher, i felt too embarrassed to go back. I dont want my kids to have my social problems so i know i need to tackle it.. any advice?

wiggler- I have very bizarre dreams about this show here in the US called the Vampire Diaries of one of the characters named Damon, who is really Ian Smolderhalder, who was oddly enough on Lost as well. I have VERY sexual dreams about this guy, never have had dreams of celebrities etc in my life, then a few weeks I met him at an event and since then keep dreaming naughty stuff. I've always thought this guy was hot, but since meeting him apparently he's dreammmyy.
Also in my building here, the guys who live in the apartment next to me were the 2 guys from Gossip Girl, and one moved out and now just the british one lives there, have oddball dreams of him the last week as well. Maybe it's cause i see him almost everyday and my husband is out of town.. who knows?
But somehow i feel like if I told my husband this, he'd be pissed.

I think Ian is smokin' hot! He's probably one of the only guys on TV that I think has crazy sex appeal.

wiggler- how about going to the park? There are loads of mommies and kids to play/talk with. Maybe join a toddler swim class, good way to meet moms with kidos the same age.

 

[Wiggler]

I tried the local park, but i dont live in the nicest area and a lot of the local mummies scream at each other/their kids/their OH's.. they scare me a bit..

A toddler swim class sounds good. i'll have to look into that at the local pool

 

[luckyme225]

eeek.... yeah maybe stay away from that park lol

 

[Wiggler]

Its right down the road from my flat, so I always peek out of the window first to see if its empty! After bubs is born i'm deffo going to give mum and baby/toddler groups another go.

I'm also hoping i'll make some mummy friends at the pregnancy classes at the hospital.

If only it was as easy to make friends in real life as it is on the internet.

Wiggler have you consdered maybe meeting some of the online mummies? Im sure they'll be some in your area? Ive not really mooched around BnB much and dont know whats on the site really, but maybe they have a meet up section??? I know other sites do it, not mentioning names (and tbh its a bit clicky) but Im sure some people are lovely. Mums and toddlers groups can work, dont wait for bubs to arrive get Dylan playing now. Have you got a Sure Start centre near you? Get involved!!! They do so much for kids and also have things for mummies!! They do cooking classes with the kids (toddlers!!), gardening classes you name it they try it and they have a creche facility too so mummies can have a chat and the kids are safe. Id really get to your nearest centre

Hopeful, being a new mum is scary, but once the baby is here you'll be amazed and how much natural instinct us mummies have! This little one is due so close to Joshuas birthday, Im scared it'll come on his birthday and take away his special day! I will do all I cant to not have the baby on his birthday even if I have tobe stitched up and hung upside down for gravity to help.... Id prefer a few days grace, but no no no not on his day!!

I want some Mummy friends too, but no classes at my hospital, so will have to wait for beanies arrival, but am just worried nobody will talk to me, and I;ll feel silly. My Mum has said she will come with me if I want her too, and I think I do!! Luckily we have a sure start centre in our village, so once LO is here I plan to go there, as I have heard really good things about them, do the do anything for pregnancy too or just once bubs is here? xx

I'll give them a ring tomorrow!! I'm so set on making sure LO does lots of interesting things, and I so want to throw myself in to motherhood, I just can't wait. I will have to work PT, but I want it to be so LO can do all these things, and not just stare at me all day at home. xx
