dougggie

Hello to the new edd-ers, congrats on the new arrivals and sorry to see you go Jo, hope you'll be back soon. I remember how horrible it was hanging around on the ttc list right back when the original thread first started but there was light at the end of the tunnel!

Chutzpah, another couple of books we got were http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dadlands-Alternative-Handbook-New-Fathers/dp/1841126799/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201471404&sr=1-13
and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blokes-Guide-Pregnancy-Jon-Smith/dp/140190288X/ref=pd_sbs_b_1_img?ie=UTF8&qid=1201440155&sr=8-1 but to be honest, my husband was never that interested in what he "should" be feeling, he was busy getting unsolicited advice from mates and work colleagues and expected me to let him know all the important stuff.

One website which may prove interesting is http://www.paternityangel.com/

I'm 35 wks today and still able to wear all my leisure gear from pre pregnancy...one of the joys of buying clothes big enough to fit my massive hips! Workwear was another matter, but even still, i can still wear trousers one size up from normal. All depends on how your baby decides to sprout and in what position!

Got to go for an appointment with a cardiologist tomorrow evening which i'm not looking forward to - got referred a few months back when i was having real stress probs and racing pulse/irregular heartbeat. Still got the irregular heartbeat, but don't want them coming up with any excuse for me not to have a homebirth!
Can't wait to finish work middle of next week. Think this week might be stressful, but will have one day off during it if i can agree which one with my boss. Was supposed to be tomorrow but that went out the window on friday. Can't wait to sit with my feet up for a few weeks, so i suppose that fits in with the theory of my LO arriving early huh? :eek:

Have tried another update as i think Aggiev was supposed to be july not jan...

hello girls congrats to all the newbies

well has the title says Erin Grace arrived on thursday 24th at 5:45pm weighing 6pound 2ounces shes a little bit early but fine. the labour was fantastic only lasting three hours so it was a bit of a shock for me and no time for pain relief but she is worth it.

i'm not sure how to update the list so if its ok i'll leave that for someone in the know.

arghhh somebody save me from my self im beating my self up over money again.

i decided i wud face my debts on the debt free wanabe forums and after doing the math somehow im spending £75 a week on nothing and i mean nothing i just cant think where its going and its making me feel like a complete fraud now asking for help when it seems as we have tons of money and i swear we dont so i feel awful.
worse im the kind of person that feels guilty over nothing what so ever

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

miss_be

Dougggie - I hope your cardiologist app goes well. I was just wondering if you drink tea or coffee or anything with caffeine in it for that matter. I'm only asking as I went to the cardiologist as I have having irregular irregular heart beats which scared the poo out of me and went on for hours and it turned out I was drinking too much tea. As soon as I switched to Red bush tea then all my palpitations stopped. I hope this helps you.

honeybe21 - don't feel awful about the money. At least you have looked at your expenses and you know where you are. From there you can work out a plan. I'm sure if you collected all your receipts for a week and then looked back on them you'd be able to see what's going on. If not then maybe there's a miscalculation somewhere. It's all sortable outable so fret not - please.

Congratulations Liley 9. I hope you settle and your little one settle in easily. I've just noticed that you're one above me on the list. I've got too much to do before Ember turns up - she can't come early!!

Jo101 - I hope things all work out for you.

honeybe21, have you tried a spending diary? I kept one for a couple of months and was appalled at where my money was frittered away. www.spendingdiary.com is good for keeping track online and it will compile a weekly or monthly report for you. Haven't seen your posts over on DFW but will take a look. That board was responsible for getting us debt free so it is a good help to post there - I would have been lost without my debt diary!

Congrats Liley 9!!xx
