Mother of all conception months Graduates

[PeanutBean]

Glad everything's ok Gilz. And wow look at that bump!!

Nomore any wedding that extravagant and not allowing a mother to bring a newborn baby is one I would happily do without! I'll never understand couple of deny entry to important members of their extended family. We have loads of kids at ours and provided them with books and games to help entertain them. As far as I'm concerned a wedding is a celebration with the people who care about you not a day for showing off and exclusion.

DH has just gone back to work. We are on another film for Byron. Gosh he's going to be brain dead from too much TV these next couple of days. DH starts late in the morning so can wlak the dog before he goes in and will be home at teatime so it'll be a bit easier today. Hardly achieved anything today though. I seem to be developing a cough too.

Whoops. Double post.

[sequeena]

I hate being sick *throws tantrum*

 

[madcatwoman]

Bloody nora gilz, where did that bump sprout from??, the previous bump photo was merely a glint in your OH's eye !!LOL!.
So glad to hear LO is ok, you needed that check up really!!.

Madly, let us know how you go at the docs x

 

[gilz82]

I know Madcat it's bananas, I swear my bump has just about doubled in size from Friday to today and I haven't eaten that much chocolate

Just hoping that its not off on a crazy growth spurt and that it continues to grow at a normal rate.

i had a weekend, or i think it was just a night like that once. i got up and felt huge, and could feel all the skin on my sides all tight, i hadnt even eaten anything at that point, i said to DH, "do i look bigger or it my imagination?", and he had to admit it had suddenly grown seamingly overnight!!

 

[PeanutBean]

I think Gilz you have officially popped!

Scoffing tea DH put in for me before he left.

Hi All,
Madly Glad your getting to the docs

Gilz I called Matt over to look at your bump to show him what mine should look like lol. He was very intrigued by your small pants sat there oggling them filthy git.it is a lovely bump tho and we are now 6mnths

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Hey Ladies :wave: Am back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gilz I am so glad everything is ok Get rest though I think you might need it and lovely bump pic I agree you have `popped`

Peanut sorry to hear your having a poop time again We lot are a right bunch arent we

Well I am officially on Mat Leave/House Wife/SAHM my Dr agrees the whole situation is completely riddick and wonders how I have managed to get this far before falling apart She says its a good thing I am addressing my fears of PD now and encourages me to sit back, rest up and forget about work. She has signed me off until my Mat Leave commences which means as of now I can (try!) and forget about work I know I am entitled to sick pay and have plenty left to cover and also that I am entitled to my Mat Leave pay so theres nothing they can do to make me feel worse than I do at this stage so I guess am not losing anything by jacking it in now except I am gaining my sanity I spoke with my colleague early (the one whos been made redundant too!) and we both agree to move forward we have to cut ties now so I feel like I have done the right thing. Now I can concentrate on me and Charlie and my little family Thank you all for your support....I felt so down earlier and it didnt help that me and DH had words either

 

[vbaby3]

Fantastic news madly,time to look after yourself and charlie now.x

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you vbaby hon

It sure is I am glad the decision has been made I feel like a weight has been lifted....now all I have to do is break the news to my boss Not looking forward to that one I think email might be my best bet cause then at least I dont have to speak with him but can also drop a copy of the email to the union too

 

[gilz82]

Oh Madly I'm so glad your doc was understanding. You are definitely doing the right thing, so now relax and look after you and Charlie and Oliver

 

[madcatwoman]

Thats brilliant news madly!. i was hoping the doc would sign you off, but then you know what some docs can be like, so you can never be sure. Time to start chilling out now hun.
i must admit, id do an email. im better with the written word than over the phone (i hate phones), when writing i always feel i have time to think & phrase things in the best possible way.

Shame your OH is being difficult.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you Gilz hon

Ladies I really must tell you about this woman at the surgery who was waiting to see the Dr too. She realised I was pregnant...asked me how far I was etc etc and then proceeded to talk about Amanda Holden so I politely said I had heard it was sad but was trying not to think about it because I was trying not to worry myself about such things and was having `work issues` atm and felt I had enough issues to deal with. She then proceeded to ignore me and started to tell me about her daughter loosing her baby at birth and then went into great detail about all these other people she knew who had lost a baby too HELLO I SAID I DIDNT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I cannot and will not ever understand how people think it is there god given right to put such fear into pregnant women I am so glad the Dr called me in!

Thank hon

I have really good Drs at my practice and knew if it was an issue my MW would sort it anyway shes a doll and told me weeks ago to jack it in Guess am lucky in that respect I do have a good support network I`m better at letter writing too so I think email is my best route to announcing am not coming back at least that way I dont have to see his reaction or deal with it cause am sure it will be totally inappropriate!

 

[gilz82]

Oh that makes me so mad, it seems everyone and their granny know someone who had something bad happen to them or a baby died etc. Why is there this compulsion to share these things. It's like women who tell stories about terrifying their birth was. I'm all for constructive sharing but you know the ones who are only trying to scare you about the baby coming. It makes me mad

Gilz hon I couldnt believe it and she continued even after I said I was trying to avoid such news....I think right now the `ignorance is bliss` attitude will work wonders for me I know such sad news is reality but am not sure we need reminding in such a way AND Oliver was sat next to me whilst she was rattling away I kept looking at him and thinking `please dont be `really` listening to this or understanding`

 

[PeanutBean]

OMG Madly! I would've had some very serious words with anyone who chose to say such things to me!

Glad you are signed off. A few days and you will feel like a new woman. I am a bad woman though as I am a bit jealous that you have finished work! I just booked my hotel for my London stay on the 2nd March - my penultimate week. Sigh. On the plus side the hotel is by the station and the venue of the meeting is just over the road so no tube!

Byron is so demanding and I am so useless! I've spent an hour finishing off the work I wanted to do while he sat next to me and pulled my hair and scratched my back and stuck his fingers into my cardigan etc etc. Then he ran around the house crying for Dada who of course is at work and won't be home until Byron is in bed. Sorted that out with milk but think we will need to go for an early bath for both our sanities.

 

[pinkclaire]

Hi ladies! Well after I posted the doctor called and said he wouldnt see james as he hasn't got a temp, so I went to work! It was really stressful actually as I'm covering for someone else, i wished I hadn't gone in lol!

Gilz glad everythings ok and you feel reassured!

Madly great you've been signed off, time to enjoy yourself and relax xx
