My dad rang....

Oh dear

classic comments including 'I thought you were over-sensitive of late'

'How will you cope?'

'How will we all cope?'

'I keep my fingers crossed for viability'

sami, neither of them said congratulations They are in many ways good people and good parents, but my news is their news if you see what I mean. It's all about what they feel about it rather than what I feel about it.

I'm sure they are happy it will just take awhile for it to sink in - it was probably the last thing they imagined you telling them.

I pooed myself telling my dad that I was pregnant - bearing in mind I was 25, have a fab job, have been with OH for almost 10 years and own my own house (well mortgaged) - he was very blaise about it and said 'can you afford it?' 'will u go back to work' etc etc. Within 2 days, I was getting texts asking how I was? Was I looking after his grandchild by eating properly? etc. Anyone that knows my Dad knows this is completely out of character - seeing his face when he met Jack the other week was priceless he was so proud and chuffed and I get daily texts asking for updates.

Give them time to let it settle in and I;m sure they'll come around

Carla - is there any more news about your friend and her baby?
.

got chatting to here very very briefyl this afternoon, after 12 hours labour, and bein 10 cm dialated, pre-eclampsia start to set in which is the reason fro c-setion. she is sore tody and very upset. Baby Isaac was in theatre when OH was talking to his friend at approx 5pmish. His oesophagus (sp!?) isnt properly attached to his stomach, so when he was swallowing it was going down half way then back up and he was choking and gagging on it. However, horrific as it sounds, it is apparently quite a common thing, so a routinely procedure, altho the lo does have to be cut open for it!!! god bless him.
My friend is being transferred to same hospital as him tomorrow, wont be on same ward, but at least in same hospital. Offered to go see her tonight, have a chat, but she has her family coming over and has asked me to leave it until tomorrow afternoon/evening when there may not be someone there.
She sent me a pic of Isaac and he looks so gorgeous. got lotsa dark black hair and def looks like his daddy!! hehe. He was 5' 4oz and 52 cms - same length as my boy, but a good 2 1/2 lb lighter!!

I was tempted to put 5ml in Caitlin's (dosage is 2.5ml for 2-3 month olds and 2.5ml-5ml for three months plus) as she'll be 13 weeks on Sun and three months date-wise on Mon but then thought I'd better not.

whats difference is a couple days going to make!??

Does this sound too cheeky ??

Hi, I am sorry that these items cost you extra to post, however it is the sellers responsibility to ensure that the correct postage is listed for the sale. Northern Ireland does not cost extra for 1st class postage. I do not feel that I need to pay for a seller mistake.
Thank You

very cheeky MM!!!! lol. OJ. Congrats on good physio today too MM!! happy times. :T

Aww honey! :grouphug: Its crap when people aren't excited isn't it, the IL's were far from excited when I was expecting Chris :rolleyes: I just wanted to shake them!
We're excited for you!

any consolation weezl - same happened me when i announced i was pregnant with Christopher (Katie had just turned one!). no congratulations, just same phrases as your parents. however, i also got "you havent hd a chance to get to know katie properly, then the rest sounded like blah blah blah blah blah......"
they came round to the idea after a while, and now complain if they dont see him every few days!!
i guess they are just worried about you too.....???

I know that's why I came straight on here to say about the phone call I know I really should tell the other thread as it's more PG related, but I feel more able to be open about feelings with you guys cos I feel like I've known you for ages.

Glam, I agree they'll come round and they are very loving to Fergie. Just stings a bit at the time y'know? :D

edit: thanks Carla, sorry it happened to you too

It's so funny isn't it, you imagine it being one of life's magic moments where everyone says the most touching wonderful things.... And then..... life smacks you in the chops with a wet kipper :rotfl:

I was 20 and had just bought a house with Chris, so was really scared I wouldnt be able to cope, all I wanted was my mum and dad to say everything would be OK and congratulations :rolleyes:
Funny though, mum never said congrats, but the day I told her, she came round to my house with a set of Christie towels for the baby Think that was her way of being there
