I am becoming more and more unsociable queen_b can not even pretend now, i am a awful mood and can not hide it. I started to think yesterday, fine my SIL and BIL( who i like very much) have never rang or texted me about my pregnancy so they can get stuffed when baby is born. I will not have them over for a week or two and only will let them come at the same time that other friends come. I will not do the whole, it is family, they can come first. I know BIl is Oh only brother and Oh will not be happy.
Also i banned Oh from putting pics of baby on facebook until i make sure my family see pics of the baby first( they havent got fb).
I think i am about to pop, i am so hormonal is unreal, i never thought of myself like such a horrible, miserable cow.

I think it's common to become crabby and moody when we get so close to the end, is it too early to start behaving like this at 35 weeks? :rotfl: Patience and tolerance is zero and I'm fed up of feeling like a heffalump with a constantly sore back.

It's very quiet on here today, labour vibes to all the boldies.

Have stuffed myself with mandarin cheesecake tonight, got ante natal relaxation class tomorrow, naughty DH is trying to get out of coming, no chance mate!

Evening ladies
Hope you're all keeping safe and warm.

I really hate the snow it stresses me out so much. I've decided I'm staying home tomorrow and will do work here at home instead of risking going in; this is our third pregnancy but will be our first baby and I'd never forgive myself if something happened because I fell or was in an accident; my commute is 27 miles one way and though it is mainly motorway, my village isn't gritted and neither are the local roads near my work base. Saying that, my sister-in-law was in an accident on the motorway this afternoon so they aren't necessarily that much safer!

Fingers crossed it stops snowing and melts soon! I really do miss SA at times like this!

On a brighter note, we set up the nursery furniture this weekend and I decorated the room with the wall stickers I bought - I'm really, really pleased with it. Just waiting on the bedding coming, expecting it at the end of this week, and then I can take some pics.
Now just need to get some non-bio detergent and then can wash all the bits for baby and get them packed away and pack our hospital bags... early but being prepared makes me feel calmer, which I figure is good to help keep my BP stable

Sending labour vibes to all those who're wanting them and hope you all keep safe

How we all doing this morning ladies?

I sent my manager a text this morning just before my start time saying I'd not be in but was happy to speak to her later - my start time is a few hours before hers. She just rang and is happy I've work to get on with and also looking at other projects I can work on from home. Feel very lucky and somewhat relieved that she's being supportive as she isn't always!

OK, back to work - just wanted to share that.... Am looking forward to going on mat leave all the same, only 7weeks to go all being well!

Saf - where I am we have only had a tiny amount of snow but I am not setting foot outside, probably OTT but my balance is rubbish as it is, I trip over my own feet in the house so god knows what I would be like on the ice and snow. Is your SIL ok after her accident?

I'm glad to hear you've got a supportive manager. I am so glad I have already finished work, there is quite a bit of snow there and would hate to have the stress of either having to try and get there or sort something else out, they are not very good at letting people work from home.

Not up to much today, doing some washing, may do another load of baby stuff later on. Hope everyone else is having a good day!

I'm not a boldie any more

Baby girl came saturday morning at 1:18 am weighing 7lb 8oz. Still no name yet though.

We got to the hospital at 12:59, so we nearly didn't make it in time :eek:

I had a OBEM moment when my waters broke with some force right as the 2 midwives and nurse were peering at my nether regions. I soaked all 3 of them!

All doing well at home, if a little tired.

Saffagal

Congratulations hngrymummy! Glad you're both home too x

Queen_b, yes thank you, my SIL is ok - seems she had a lucky escape with whiplash only!
Usually there isn't much work that I can do at home as my job role is patient facing and due to the age group video linking wouldn't work! But as I've been training a locum up to cover my full job role when I go on leave (not just the patient part of it) I have been given projects that are needed for service progression/ development/ commissioning to do alongside this - the projects I can work on at home provided I've brought a work laptop home... which at any hint of snow, I do.

I can't wait to get onto washing baby's things, but need to get out first to get some non-bio detergent... must practice patience!

congratulations hngrymummy, hope everything is ok :j

had a bit of a panic attack yesterday, was in the bath and was freaking myself out just with the thought of having three children, im soo not like that at all either im very laid back and take things as they come, whats going on.
i did go out in the morning yesterday and brought a oyster pram yesterday, so maybe somethings kicking in, as i know im pregnant , i just cant get my head around having another child at the moment, i cant get motivated into baby shopping , if it wasnt for my husband i dread to think, Does this sound awful ? has ne one else felt like this? im feeling really confused with myself.

sorry to go on, i just need to get it out.

Hello ladies still snowing here, hasn't stopped since friday, we are now really deep. Just back from the school run - not fun when 29 weeks pregnant! :eek: Made it there and back with no falls so that was a bonus - am not sure I would have been able to get up if I had - my coat is just about doing up but it doesn't give me much flexibility lol.

helen4891 - I have calmed down now, I did have a few moments at the beginning when I kept thinking what have I done :eek: especially when nearly everyone kept saying I must be mad because I will have 3 under 5 years and a teenager. I now just politely point out I can do the maths and will manage fine You will cope and I find they just slot in when they arrive :rotfl:. I think I panicked more with number 3 than I have with this one for some reason. I am much more tired but I think that is to be expected. And no I have not bought everything, have only a few bits but need to get a wriggle on or at least pretend I am organised when people ask

My Maternity Allowance starts this Friday so will make a concerted effort to buy a few bits then :T

Congratulations hngrymummy!!!

Baby brain is still not helping with the studying unfortunately :mad: I have got to do a 4000 word outline for my Dissertation which is due in the 26th February. It is a 20,000 word dissertation (MA) and I can't even make my mind up what I want to do it on, let alone a blinking outline :rotfl: I am sure I wasn't this bad when I wasn't pregnant!

Yey for the nursery Saffagal ! I love Hungry caterpillar - I bought my 2 littlest Hungry Caterpillar PJ's not long ago and a very cute 3 piece set for baby from Tesco - that will be his coming home outfit (providing I get to the hospital to give birth...)

As for giving birth alone - I would happily do it. My DH says I just sort of zone out and go completely silent when I am in labour, so he says he is not much use to me anyway Its just the way I cope with pain and I hate being fussed around so its nice to have him there but I don't really notice if you know what I mean??

Here is to the snow disappearing soon - I am not a happy bunny going out in it... Although its very pretty I have had enough now....:p

Helen, I think more than anything else it is the hormones at the moment that are affecting you, and I really believe that you will be absolutely with three little ones.

chonorla; what is your MA in? (apologies if you have said in the past few months but I can't remember). My manager keeps "encouraging" me to do one but I am just not interested at this point in my life.

I'm also with you on the snow disappearing... I don't even think it is very pretty when seeing it in person. Photo's are plenty close enough for my liking!

Hope we've all had a good day ladies

helen4891

thanks for your reply saffagal and chonorla,
it probly is my hormones, i proper snaped at my husband this morning aswell, i think his learning though just to keep more quiet when i get in to one of those moods, i feel like im always worse when my period should be roughly due( if that make sense)

chonorla , my coat is the same lol, but i really dont want to buy another coat im usually a size 10 and this coat was the MIL and is a size 14.
not long til friday, i bet your so glad its only a few more days away!!

saffagal, i love and hate the snow, i love it coz the kids love it soo much and they have such great fun in it, but i hate walking around in it incase i fall over and hurt myself. a lady 2 doors up the road from my brother walked out side her house , slip over and broke her arm( im not sure where) and had to have a metal plate put in the other day.
