    Hugs Gin xx My MIL is ok now, took almost 10 yrs to get to that point tho! And living 200 miles away helps a bit ;) My Nan however is a totally diff story! My Mum died when i just turned 18, so nan has looked out for me since then. Spoke to her on the phone last night, said about blood pressure etc and she was then trying to arrange to come up next week and stay until the baby is born (40days!!) I was like, NO WAY!!! Hahaah! Bless her, its a long was for a 76yr old to come anyway, but i just dont think i could cope! Will be bad enough once the baby is here, all of our friends and family live down south, so will have to stay when they visit, and its gonna be a bit full on i think :(
    Hope ur both ok Happydays and Lisa! xx
    Off to be a good Mummy in a bit and go to the schools PTA meeting! I hope u all remember these tasks when ur lil ones are finally at school ;) haha! xxx

    Thank you girls. I just got home, really didn't want to even come in. Got upstairs, into my pjs and into bed. He made something for dinner, but I don't even want to look at food. I just want a good cry.

    He came a few minutes ago and i said I want to be alone. I think he got upset, but I can't cope with his emotions now. I just need some time alone.

    Take care ladies of yourselves! I think i am off for now.

    I have no idea how to find my uterus!? My bump goes pretty much up to under my boobs, would that be it?

    No laura, that woud probably not be very accurate, my midwife had to have a good feel wround to find the top of the uterus. Mine was only just above my belly button still!

    emsbet - my birthday is 16th September, it's a great day to be born! :D

    ((hugs)) ginvzt, sounds like you're having a crappy day :( If I were you, and bearing in mind the subject has been raised several times before without him doing anything, I would just book a cleaner, and tell him you've done it. It's not fair for you to have to do everything, and it will only get worse once the babies are here. As for his mum....she sounds like a bit of a nightmare, but I agree with the others, you need to be firm starting now. Don't wait til she's really upset you, leading to an angry/snappy/ill-thought out reaction from you - set some boundaries asap! Your OH should be on your side, too, and support your wishes where she is concerned (just make sure when you talk to him about it you don't sound irrational/petty towards her)

    Exciting 4nnabella! Hope to hear some news from you soon! :)

    I'm shattered, been on a training course all day today with a long drive each way. Luckily tomorrow is a short day at work.

    19 weeks today :)

    Fredula - take care.

    BB you have the most popular birthday :p

    Gin Do what I do, leave it. Do what you have to do for yourself, clothes for work, make your own dinners, and leave him to it. That's what I've done now, as when baby comes I won't be able to do it all on my own. I got sick of asking nicely, and then moaning about it and then it came to nagging, so when he leaves his clothes strewn on the floor, I let him. It is very difficult to live with and I really have to force myself to cope with it, but if he wants to live like a pig he can, but I won't with my things. We don't even like the same foods, so I used to do 2 lunch/dinners every day, but I've stopped it all. Even my batch cooking is all suited to me. General cleaning I do try and keep a lid on it, and just do a bit every day, even wiping the mirror in the bathroom down and wiping round the sink, so on the whole it looks clean. I am the most uncomfortable I've ever been at the moment though so it's difficult.


    Hello ladies and bumps, back from the in laws, and having such bad cramping, it is honestly so sore :( don't even think it's that start of anything so I'm just being tortured I think :( Got a load of blankets and sheets picked up tonight so I know I've enough now to make up his wee crib :o Hurry up baby G!!
