*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[CharmedKirsty]

Have you all picked names yet?
My poor baby is still nameless (although we like Thomas, it's still just a name we like and not 100% sure it will be what he's called)
I'm finding naming a boy harder than naming girls.

We have a first name. Paige with Ella as a possible middle name. If anyone wants to suggest other possible middle names feel free.

I just got back from doing my glucose test. I took my daughter to the park for a bit after I finished the drink but everything was so wet that we ended up just going back to the lab and sitting there waiting for the other 40 minutes. Thankfully this time it didn't make me feel sick. My daughter was mad that I wouldn't share the drink with her though. Hopefully I pass and don't have to go back for the 2 hour test.

I have to do the two hour test to start out with. I wonder why?

 

[busytulip]

Yo-yo our baby is still nameless. I think ljo is right, the more kids you have the harder it is to decide on a name.

Rbourre and Geralyn- FX'd that you both pass your screens!

MamaMac- hooray for hitting double digits!! I am right there with you

The heat has been horrendous, even with central air, the humidity just makes it feel like everything sticks to you.

27 weeks, 17 weeks, 7 weeks. I told DH, that in my 37 week picture, my face probably wont even fit!

 

[Loopy Laura]

Geralyn - I also had a 2 hour test to start with. Hope you've had some food now and feel better!

I agree that this heat is really difficult. I had to deliver a full days training today on my feet in this heat with no air con so am sitting here with a fan facing me to cool down and relax! I've still got 2 months left at work so not really seeing the end anytime soon.

Loving all the names!

Please tell me some of you are getting annoyed over small things?!?!?!

MIL - speaks to me like crap constantly and is so controlling

Step-MIL - insist on buying tigger stuff for baby knowing i hate tigger and tacky clothes!!!! Shes 40+ and has an obsession with a disney character!!!

OH 'bestfriend' - waster, the only reason he come to my and OH engagement party is because OH paid for all his bloody drinks and now hes split up with his gf him and OH are planning all this stuff together and OH thinks hes been godfather to my child, i do not think so, hes one of the worse role models to have, he constantly gets drunk and is a womaniser!!!! Its been 3 days they've been back in contact and i'm 2nd best already to this idiot.

Did the glucose test make anyone else crash a few hours later? I was watching TV and fell asleep on the couch and only woke up when my daughter woke up from her nap.

Stacey-can see why some of what you mentioned annoys you. Especially your ohs best friend. Sounds rather immature to me

As for you mil, she's totally in the wrong being rude to you. With the tigger stuff, just humour you step mil and only put it in when you see her-you can take it off as soon as she's out the door. I had a really awful babygrow from a friend once, with a clown on it that looked like that one out of the Steven king film, but to save her feelings I put it on dd1 when she visited and it meant a lot to her.

Yes, people irritate me beyond belief. I spend most of my day silent cause as thumper out of bambi said "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all"

I sound really horrible but shes bout 20+ outfits of tigger, i'm thinking of taking a few back to exchange them she wont even know, i'm grateful for every little bit of help but shes acting like baby is hers when hes mine, shes even tried naming him and is planning on taking him away on holiday for a week next year when hes my baby, its really getting to me now x

haha i'm the same, people annoy me.. big time

Has anyone felt reduced movements lately? i've only had about 3/4 kicks since monday... i put doppler on and his hearts fine i think hes getting squashed now!

 

[staceymxxx]

Alsoooo... whats plan of action for after having babys?

I'm coming home and banning visitors until i'm ready to have them, OH doesn't agree with this and wants everyone there all time he loves visitors but i've put my foot down and said no point blank! Dogs have to get use to a new baby, we do and i'm breastfeeding so want to get hang of that without everyone passing baby round like pass the parcel!

 

[zephyr]

After the birth we just won't be announcing or anything until I feel rested. Whether that's a day or 3 days I don't care.
I'm having a home birth and I dont like getting visitors till I'm ready at the hospital so to me its no different.
The inlaws will want to be round right after birth......in fact im pretty sure they think they will be here for the birth :/ we havnt told them otherwise and hubby told them at the start they could but Ive changed my mind.
So we are just going to keep low for a few days.

I'm irritated at little things too, I think its normal.

It has been stupidly hard finding a name this time. It wasn't exactly easy last time. We had 2 names we liked and stupidly gave them both to my eldest!

After looking through literally over 1000 names (I did 1100 in one sitting) and a lot of whinging at DH to actually think about names we are down to 2. Joshua or Toby. I'm still not certain DH is 100% sure on them but he's had his chance to find something else. My absolute favourite name is actually Quinn but DH will not even consider it

 

[lauraemily17]

I appear to have missed 2 pages of posts!!

Yes lots of things annoy me, particularly comments from my mil! I should warn you ladies having your first, I found it got even worse after the baby arrived. Suddenly my mil who I never had an issue with as we only really socialised with, didn't need help or advice from, had an opinion and influence on my life, which I didn't & still don't really like. But we have quite different opinions on parenting techniques.

Surely my Step-MIL can't be any worse then she is now, she tried picking babys name!!!! and told me she "hated" the name we've chosen...and MIL well she thinks we'll be spending all our time down there including xmas day, i don't think so!!! Please tell me normal mother in laws are like this and its just not mine lol!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

MILs are just irritating. Mine feels a need to give her opinion on how I choose to bring up my son. Make remarks about his habits. He is not a great eater and she said to him you need to go spend time with your cousin so he can teach you to eat!
