Thanks Chakani :A

I have just sent this E Mail to my boss =

After talking with my Midwife on Friday and getting more info from many sites & HR friend.
I am thinking I may start my Maternity Leave at the end of October.
I am aware that I will have my holiday to use for 2011 (15 days & 7 Bank Holidays = 22 Days) and feel that I may be better (If agreed) to tag some holiday onto the end of my leave in 2011 rather than let myself get stressed and worked up by working so close to me due date.
I will understand if maybe you need me or would like me to return to work before I start to take some leave or if I will be allowed to carry any leave over into 2012.
Just trying to get sorted as I am aware that I will need to formally write to you (Parkers) with my leave dates, as my employer from 19th August when I will be 25 weeks pregnant.
Thanks

Think it reads ok???? I got a bit of a lecture Shock reaction from my midwife on Friday when I said that I was planning on finishing work at the end of November!!! I finished that late with my daughter (13 years ago) but in reality given how I feel and how huge I feel I know that I am far better to finish work earlier and use me holiday to extent the end of my leave as I work 3 days a week that gives me an extra 7 weeks PAID leave!!!!

Do you think that is ok? Or am I being really cheeky????

Hi everyone, could you pm me the facebook friend please too. Not long back from town. I met my old lecturer and bumped in to someone i used to go to college with, she had a baby girl in february, was her fourth so we all went for coffee it was nice. My old lecture had bought me some sleepsuits, was very nice of her.

My friend from college said that when she was pregnant with one of her girls she was told she was having a boy. Thats worrying me a bit now as we have been told we are having a boy and i think it was pigpen who said that she was told one of her daughters was going to be a boy. I wouldn't mind, its only worrying me because we have bought lots of boys clothes and boys things.

Im fed up of it raining her, everytime i seem to peg the washing out it seems to rain. Also im having to go to the toilet every two hours now, and by the time it has been two hours since i last had a wee, my bladder hurts.

moneysaver im worrying about that aswell, ive heard of lots of people who have been told the wrong sex. ive mainly bought unisex stuff, but anything that isnt unisex im keeping the tags on until bubs arrives so i can exchnge if necessary.

Will shops take things back ok dreambirdie, we have bought lots of clothes from 0-3 months uptill 12 months, more 0-3 and 3-6. A lot of it was in the sales, i still have receipts and have kept the tags on. I think that if it did happen sleepsuits and vests would be ok. Jeans would be ok as they tend to be unisex.

dreambirdie

im not sure about refunds but if the tags are still on stuff they are bound to let you exchange them, but dont quote me on that because im not 100% if the worst happens the baby wont notice what colour they are wearing lol

im craving beef sausages with supernoodles. normally i hate beef sausages il only eat the pork ones

moneysaver12

Thanks dreambirdie, i think i will stop buying clothes for now. Beef sausages sound nice, i like supernoodles too. I have had different cravings throughout this pregnancey, have craved cheese a lot. Craved indian food a lot, its my fave food through. Have craved pasta sometimes.

My dh says that he saw the babys bits on the scan and the sonographer (sp) said he was pretty certain it was a boy. We shall see through when he is born

Just had a call to say my health visitor is visiting Wednesday.. What do they do on visits? She seemed v shocked I was still working! Strange!

Pigpen.. I've heard you mention how lovely Royce bras are recently, is there any particular ones you would recommend? Am thinking of getting one but there seems so many!
