UK SMOG Wannabes APRIL

Gosh, know how you feel pinga ((hugs))

Just popping in quickly just to say that I'm still here!

Charlie- how was the wedding? Hope the relax day was good.

I'm pretty grumpy at the moment, Dh been poorly and weather crap. Had a nice b'day party for friend of ds1 yesterday though, NO girls there and just boy mums so NO stupid, annoying comments (I'm still getting so many and it is just BORING! 'well the next one will be a girl' 'my girl (after 2boys) is worth her weight in gold' etc etc ugh). So glad I can vent a bit to you girls, it really does wind me up, I just can't believe how thoughtless people can be.

Love to you all

((hugs)) i'm so sorry you still have to suffer through the comments..
please post a bump pic for us to see

Feeling a bit better today. Really trying to enjoy this pregnancy knowing it will most probably be my last, just hard some days with the incessant comments. Deaks, like you said, hopefully we have got through the most and worst of the comments now . I love that you and the others on here know exactly what I'm talking about, it really helps

I have never taken a bump pic....might try one and will post for you girls!

Anyone watching BGT? I got hooked this series for some reason and enjoying this week of shows.

Love to you all, will catch up soon.

Got a lovely photo of Dave smiling today - it's all going too fast.

Is there one swayer left? I would like to hear about the LE diet - sounds very un yummy! I can't stand food now. Another reason to not love BFing. Puts me off food. Really fancy going out on the town and getting steaming drunk as haven't drunk in a year now (not a big drinker anyway).

MIL hell is in full swing again, she said she would NEVER come back! Now she asked when she could stay. We said a week but again she wants six weeks! Why she asked i cant imagine, it was never up for discussion. She is so manipulative. Her ruining six weeks of maternity leave fills me with dread. Anyone fancy a live in nanny for six weeks?

Indigo not seen much BGT but loving the voice. Also watching the series on great olmond street. I cried before the opening credits, so very sad. Watched a old horrizon last night at 1am for the last feed. It was about the make up of the earths core, how it effects the poles and deflects protons from the solar winds. Before kids i would have found it fasinating. Now my iq is too low and it gave me a nightmare lol! Another reason to love being a mummy. if the conversation gets above nappy contents of volumes of sick my head explodes!

Maybe - I totally agree on motherhood disintegrating IQ. I used to like Arty films and now I'm always saying to DH... oh no... I'd rather watch something something brainless Oh and your MIL sounds like a right royal pain!

Wishing (I think you are the one swaying) - When is your attempt - you might have said - can't remember

Indigo - I've been enjoying the pregnancy overall because it really is an amazing thing... but I feel as though there is a little black cloud over me that never quite goes away. Another friend just announced that she is expecting a little girl (after 2 boys).

Well - my BP has started its usual up and down. Almost had to stay at the hospital for fetal monitoring yesterday (4 hours). Had 2 insane children with me and wasn't keen. But luckily the doc just rushed through bloods and urine tests for pre-eclampsia. She said she didn't think I had it so was happy to just look at the tests. I always get up and down BP at the end of pregnancy.

Deaks - these last few weeks are DRAAAAGGING!!!!!

[maybebabythree]

Oh no pinga! Once they drag you in for bp tests you get stressed and it goes up more. I am still on my meds for my bp

when do they think you can come off them? have you started weaning of the meds yet?

Sunset - I've used the hammock for all my babies (so it's about 6 years old now!). It's an Amby Nature's Nest and it's fab. You can use them up to around 12 months but I tend to take mine out at 4-6 months and move them to their cot then. They've all slept great as newborns so I'm hoping this baby will follow the same trend!

Sorry for the lack of personals, I'm so knackered! I was hoping I might be nesting by now but I just want to be sleeping The midwife wasn't sure which way up the baby was this morning so I'm going for a presentation scan on Wednesday. The same thing happened at the end of my last pregnancy and he was head down with a boney bum so I'm hoping it'll be the same. I do think she's turned back to back though - again, usual for me!

[deaks66]

So beat this for the worst ever morning of reactions to boy number 3. A friend of a friend asked me if i knew what i was having and i said at 14 weeks the sonog was pretty confident it is a boy. She literally grimaced!! I was so taken aback. Then a few mintues later i bumped into someone else i know and when she asked and i told her she said oh well i'll be all right. OMG what is wrong with all these anti-boy people!!!!!! I had a really crap day yesterday as my parents left me feeling drained after they had stayed for 3 days. Their relationship with each other and mine with my dad is pretty crap and just takes me back to my childhood of feeling miserable. Anyway i woke up this morning feeling much brighter and then the comments start so i was back to square one!

Anyway sorry for the me me me, hope you are all well, just needed a vent! Love to you all, the babies and the bumps X
