Flyingduster- yuk to having to do nappies my sons are always pretty gross! Fortunately DH works from home some days so I can shout up to him to change them whilst I hide. With my last pregnancy ms was so bad I'd change ds1 nappy with his potty next to me which I'd, more often than not, vomit into whilst changing it! Ugh that was not fun!
In NZ what are the levels is it 4-7 like UK? Or in the 100s?
We do the 4-7 sorta range here. With GD last time they wanted me under 5.0 before every meal, but so far I have only been below 5.2 once, often more like 5.7. I have been so paranoid it was GD kicking my ass already, but my diabetes team has replied to me to say nope, they're happy with my numbers and my A1C and to just carry on eating well and keeping half an eye on my blood sugars. But they weren't at all concerned and said just wait till an early GTT at 16 weeks. So whew!
I wish I were that brace! If we announced it too early and had a miscarriage, people wouldn't believe it were unplanned as we'd be trying again straight afterwards, and they may believe one 'accident' but certainly not two!😜 My family were shocked when we had our third child (I come from a small family with no aunts, uncles, grandparents...and my sister only has one child) and we've struggled for money since moving to australia so they'd think we were crazy and would have little sympathy for any future money problems if we'd deliberately enlarged our family...
Yeah, we haven't hid our intentions of a third so I can see if you're faking an accidental pregnancy, telling early wouldn't work!! Haha!
I did go rather agro at my dad who's first words in the reply email were "oh, I'd have thought two were enough, you already have no money and now you're adding another mouth to feed" omg I was FUMING! Well, and absolutely sobbing too. I'm not cost to my dad, but he's still my dad and while I didn't expect him to jump for joy, I was expecting a cursory congratulations or something..... We had a great big bitch fest at each other through emails, vented lots of old wounds (him and my mum split when I was five) and have come through it, apologised, hugged, and we are in a better place and closer than we were before. He was an ignorant idiot and I was a hormonal mamma, but we are good now haha
Annnnnyway, sorta commiserate at the family and money and more kids thing... Xx
I love seeing all the scans!
To whoever asked about a facebook group, we don't have one yet. I'm honestly not sure how to create a secret group. I would hate to make one and think it is secret and then start adding people and other people be able to see who joined lol. I don't want to out any pregnant ladies! Haha. If anyone knows how to make one, or can point me in the right direction, I'm all for it!
Wrinkly...I might have just missed it but what is your due date so I can add you to our list?
Ok, so to make a secret Facebook group it is 100% secret. Closed, can be found, but secret CAN NOT be found by anyone looking. You can even know it exists, and try to find the group, search it's name, search it's members, and you will NOT be able to find it. You can't even find it to join it, you can't see posts or members or the name of it or anything. Any posts you make in there are hidden, they won't show up on your friends walls, nor will the group show up as a recommended group or anything.
To be added in to a secret group you HAVE to be invited by a fb friend. There is no other way. You can find out who the admin is in here and send them a friend request on fb, then they can accept your friend request and then add you in to the group and unfriend you again. Once you're in, you're in. YOU will see posts on your wall if you follow the group but none of your friends. Unless they logged in as you! Lol.
Just be careful, a CLOSED Facebook group can be searched and found. The posts will not show up at all, but it will show up to your friends that you are a member. So stick to "secret" and you are safe.
