Afternoon ladies
Just wanted to say that in this months November pegnancy and birth magazine they have a free baby whisperer book its says exclusive to sainsburys.

I tried to follow the Baby Whisperer routine thing when I had dd I ended up wanting to ring the woman who wrote it and give her a piece of my mind. Other people may find these helpful but I'm not going to be tempted by the "manuals" this time around.

CONGRATS Squishy - yay for you xxxx

Helen - chuck some energy vibes this way, please??

GISI - you're pregnant - don't stress about the tears <HUGS>

I have done sweet FA today tidying wise and I just want to sleep now I went to aquanatal, did some volunteer work (I help an elderly man with his finances and am trying to get as much sorted before B-Day) plus made a couple of calls I needed to make re our finances. I am due to play darts tonight so can someone give me an energy boost please??

I'm feeling really crap now and have started crying - how crap am I? Feel well disappointed in myself for doing so little today, should go and do something now but just want to sleep

Age isn't important when it comes to who's a good parent. And I've yet to meet anyone on here who didn't give every indication that they would be fab!

GISI sorry you're so fed up. Let us know if there's anything we can do.

I'm feeling generally angry today! I'm still annoyed that DH kept me awake half the night, especially when I find it so hard to sleep as it is. Now I'm annoyed that he's just sitting around all day doing nothing. I'm not doing anything but I did go to work this morning and I'm home becasue I'm not well. Now he's gone to asda for some stuff for his lunch (even tho we have plenty in that he could have if he bothered looking, and we have no money just now cos he's lost loads of work so I'm trying to limit the spending).

Sorry, rant over

Not even looked at it but it was free, Most problay not going to rely on "manuals" either. I will either talk to my mum,aunt or nan between them they have quite a few children. Also i must admit i am sure that some of these books end up making you feel quite quilty for not following them to the letter, but I am a sucker for a free book

CONGRATULATIONS SQUISHY!

Where's Csh's news?!

Am sat here in the office with ipod on, trying to chill out before I kill someone. Somni - so empathise with you on stress at work, I do have a lazy !!!!! deskjob but the not sleeping thinking about work is oh so familiar - was awake from half 3 for a good couple of hours last night. You'll see the light at the end of the tunnel before you know it, I can't believe I finish 2 weeks today argh, before I forget, congrats on team pink

we have 32 week scan in the morning to see how little one is growing, he's wriggling lots and my belly seems to be bigger by the day so am not too worried.

back to the work tedium now, what joy :rolleyes:

Oh no, I hope I haven't passed on the crying-ness!

I don't actually feel particularly crappy or down, just keep crying

Karen- I think it sounds like you've done loads today so don't beat yourself up about it. Could you go and have a nice bath or something now to see if that perks you up a bit?

lou - I must be missing something because I can't find a voucher!! (got a free copy of the mag today at the hospital...they had like 10 copies and the receptionist said I could take one!!)

karen1907

GISI - definitely not your fault - but the bath recommendation is definitely a good idea, I am going to run it now
