Okay I haven't had a rant in a while, and I think it is about time I did. Several different things.

Size of my belly:

I have a reasonably sized bump for 31wks; not huge, but a nice size. Do other people recognise this fact? No, because apparently it is 'too small' or 'thats hardly a baby'. It drives me insane! The problem I think, is that they think some of my belly is fluid or something when in reality it is ALL BABY. I cannot poke one part of my belly and not feel Kezzy. Some people have been really nice, until I posted my 31wk baby bump on facebook and of all people, my sister, dear concerned loving sister told me there was hardly anything there! What right do these people have to tell me whether my belly is good enough? Most of the people judging me haven't even been pregnant!

Heartburn:

Yeah yeah, we all get it, I know. Last night though I was in tears for hours because of it, I ended up scolling that much water that I had to vomit (which actually helped a little bit) anyway DF had the wonderful idea of googling natural therapies (because we are stone broke) and found several websites suggesting raw potato, so out to the kitchen DF went and peeled and cleaned me a potato. Now you may not believe this, but within 3mins I had almost no acid, it popped up again a little when I layed down but took only seconds to go away. Thankgod for potatos and google!

FIL:

He is still here, it's been like 4months and he is still here! Driving me insane, all he does is puts in $120 into rent and expects to eat our food, smoke our smokes etc. Currently we have a $900+ electricity bill, a $2000+ phone/internet bill, rent is $360 a fortnight and every two months we have to buy a gas bottle which can cost anywhere between $150 and $200! Not only that he thinks it is within his right to discipline our pets, thinks he can eat everything (we are having to get food vouchers all the time because he eats so much!) also he wastes most of his pay on grog and we are left starving. It's so F*cked up!

On a lighter note we got two adorable kittens, Dexter and Tilly, they are nearly 5wks old; we've had to wean them ourselves. I tell you what though, having kittens winge at you at ungodly hours of the night (not so bad now but a week ago they were!) is good training for a baby waking me up all hours. I shall attach piccies so you can see them :) I shall also attach picture of baby bump and you can be the judge of the 'too small' stigma!
Hmm... Our two puppies are getting so big now, 10months old! We are renting the house for an extra 12months which means I don't have to worry about accomodation when bub is born. This is the stuff for bub I have so far!

  • Wooden Cot
  • Pram
  • Baby Car Seat
  • Bassinet
  • Clothes
  • Bottles
  • Dummies
  • Booties/socks
  • Cloth nappies/newborn nappies
  • Nappy Bag
  • Toys

So yay :)

Ok piccies

I don't think your bump is too small at all! Its perfectly sized!

I'm with you on belly size comments. I apparently look like a great blue whale, because people have been asking me when I'm due since 26 weeks (and giving too much sympathy when I tell them December). I'm measuring smack on my dates, so I am trying to just ignore them, but it does get really irritating. Its all about how baby is sitting in there and how strong your abdominal muscles are anyway!

I feel your pain with the heartburn. I'm on medicine for mine, I simply couldn't handle it. :dohh:
 
Your bump looks perfect and those kittens are freaking adorable!

People wreally do need to learn when to keep their mouths shut aye?
Thankyou, I'm glad someone thinks it is a good size! Yeah the heartburn is horrible, though I don't normallhy cry over it, last night was just 'one of those nights' so to speak when I already felft like crap and I think I might have strangled myself to get rid of the pain if DF hadn't been there.

Thanks for the reply :hugs:

They really are, the ginger is Dexter and the tortoishell (though is the pic she looks black) is Tilly. Funnily enough Tilly is from the new Underbelly Razor that is on Aus tv, and Dexter, well its from dexter and both names represent killer psyco people xD.
 
Your bump will start getting massive any minute that is what mine did-32 weeks and bam there he was! It beats hearing about how many donuts, pies, pasties etc you've clearly over indulged on, I'm at the point someone will receive an almighty fo tablet.

Your fil needs to go stand on his own two feet, you have enough to deal with and he doesnt even cover his living costs to be there!

Gorgeous kitties :) sounds like you have had a wonderful bonding experience with them!
 
your bump is totally fine! its very neat! your kittens are sooooo cute as well!
in the heartburn, i find drinking water makes it worse, drink milk to counteract the ph of the acid or get some over the counter antacid stuff like gaviscon if you have it over there. xxx
 
Oh my God those kittens are gorgeous! I'm a sucker for cute little kittens!
I honestly don't know how you're putting up with you FIL being there that long and being such a drain on your finances. I think I would have snapped long before and told him to get out! You've got much more patience than I have. Is there no word of when he's going to be leaving?
Why do people always have to comment on how big/small someone is? I actually get both comments, from different people :dohh: It annoyes me cos there are a couple of people in my life who love my bump, and say things like 'you've got such a gorgeous bump!' which makes me feel really good (hope it's true and they're not just humouring me :haha:) - why can't people just say it's a nice bump and leave it at that, if they want to comment?
 
For the drinking milk thing; I'm not supposed to haha. Lactose intolerent. Yes Dexter and Tilly are so gorgeous :) FIL is supposed to be out when he gets his tax back but who knows when that is going to be!

Thanks girlies :)
 
oh no you cant live without milk with heart burn ha ha!! can you not have lactose free milk? dont know if it'll work same or not. i had worse heart burn with imogen its not as bad (yet) this time! xx
