Good luck for the gender scans everyone...so exciting! But me, I don't want to know it, I want a surprise!
Thanks for the helpful words about my (likely) MIL to be.. Wow, cinnamongirl, yours sounds a lot worse than mine! Sorry about her (and the husband!!!). Still, I bet she misses you now, haha!
Today she has not been too bad. Apart from telling me that I should learn to cook more proper Polish food otherwise we will lose our culture. And a small session of "Oh, woe is me, how could this happen to my only son, etc etc." (my boyfriend offered to give her a biological explanation, which didn't go down too well!!!)
The thing I hate most is she keeps on mentioning that I'm overweight, and I feel bad enough about that already, first cos I'm worried that it's not good for baby and second because I feel fat and unattractive anyway! I know that I can't help it and it's just that I am (unfortunately) one of those woman who stores fat when pregnant (all the women in my family are the same!). But it doesn't really make me feel good to have my OH's mum critisising all the time how much weight I have put on. (btw I feel the same about "revealing" clothes, I am not going to go around dressed in a sack as she would prefer just because I've gone up 3 cup sizes, ok, I might look huge but she doesn't have to look if she doesn;t like it!)
At least my boyf is being the sweetest guy in the whole world and told me that I am still beautiful to him etc etc. I am lucky to have such a guy, for that, I can put up with his mother!
