Thread: Abi's sleepless diary :D - introducing isobel :D

we had it in the garden on a deck this summer Was lovely! Though after a while I ws too cold after getting out as got the shivers would you believe! lol had a rubbish summer though weather wise.

it'll go away till spring now

can you not heat the water up in it? i would have thought sitting in it in cold weather with hot water in it would be lovely... although getting out would be nasty. is that what you are referring to?

well today i bought my first baby things. i got a little red top with 'daddy's little star' on it and a fluffy red coat with ears on the hood, both from next. i just wanted something to make things seem more real

then i took them down to the supervisors at work expecting them to go ooooh and things and just let me enjoy my excitement. instead i got 'well they aren't going to fit when you want them too, what if you have a really big baby (if anything they're going to be too big as i overjudged the ages for when i want them), i wouldn't have bought anything yet. yadda yadda and totally killed my buzz. i made some joke about they should just smile, say they were very happy for me and then be quiet. and that i was going to leave if they were going to rain on my parade like that. and then try not to cry all the way down the office i think i may be hormonal. but come on. i told them i was excited. it's more for me than the baby. even if they don't fit, i have gotten some joy out of it and they could have let me have it

Aww fab stuff on the purchases - funny how we do that eh! I have a sleepsuit in red saying 'santa's little helper' for my LO.. bought it at about your stage. Hoping she's here in time to wear it xmas eve! lol either way it'll be cute! lol

Don't let work kill the buzz hun!! ((Hugs)) often it's jealousy and often people just make S*** comments without thinking! ((Hugs))

Be happy! Just remember they're too rubbish to join in on it!

well they said it's because they are old fashioned. but surely they must have bought something before their babies and grandchildren were born or they'd have a hell of a time clothing the poor wee thing. hmph.

still. i'm sure OH will let me be excited. so there.

lol that's the spirit! lol So there following a hmph! you're gonna make a GREAT mum! Enjoy celebrating with your OH!

ha. i'm obviously unaware of the indicators of so theres after hmphs. but thanks. i hope so

lol you have to get thick skin I think to fend off the comments or the opinions you disagree with
I remember sitting in shock at a work colleague who said 'but they're LAST YEARS'.. to a bunch of baby clothes I'd bought from Gap in their 70% sale! lol Like my baby would CARE!!! lol My chin was on the floor I must admit! lol
then there will be those who disagree with how your holding baby, feeding baby, picking baby up when he / she cries.. etc etc etc..
yep.. thick skin grows in pregnancy I think! lol

ha. i've already had to deal with 'well i don't agree with breastfeeding' etc. i've managed very well at just saying it's what i want. but i am becoming a bit nervy about saying anything about what i want when asked because it always gets a reaction. when i work the evening shift there are some lovely women that work here. one of them was here when the supervisors crushed me earlier and couldn't believe what she heard and they all loved the little things i'd bought and made me very happy again. so that's ok. but it is my first proper hormonal day since i was very very early on. i've been in bad moods etc, but today i feel like anything would make me bawl my eyes out...

Aww Abz it's one of those things.. you choose carefully and just sit on the fence when you don't want to tell someone! lol
I have a neighbour who trys to give me advice.. bearing in mind I've fostered babies for 5 years.. and there she is telling me how to wean.. at 4 weeks old she's proud she started weaning her daughter!!
Needless to say I don't tell her much at all! lol Also the mums at school - there is a 'click' that doesn't often talk to me, but who had kids at my LO's birthday party recently.. Almost gave me a full on grilling but I side stepped pretty much everything.. much to DH's surprise as I love nothing better than talking babies / kids whatever. But not with them.. as I wasn't comfortable with them and they're not friends. I've been going to that school for 2 years but knew there would be a % who would only chat because of bump etc and I was right.

Anyway.. I'll shut up my rambling ((Hugs)) I'm glad you've got someone at work to natter to - you've just learned a lesson today on who that is.

Night hun x

hey everyone. thanks for your lovely comments. sorry i've been absent. my shifts have been strange this week and i usually check minis at work, ha.

am doing fine. am 16 weeks today, woohoo. i managed to eat the most incredibly huge carvery dinner yesterday lunchtime and could barely move for some time afterwards. can usually only eat about a quarter of what i think i can at the mo so this was some achievement, and i'm sure i ate far far more than everyone else, most was veg of course, ha. i have a thing for roast dinners at the moment

oh, and ice lollies. i made my mouth sore eating those so have had to have a few days off. but it's all better now

unfortunately satsumas seem to be making me sick. i am in denial about this as i love them, but so far, every time i've eaten them i've felt awful... waargh. best fruit in the world

thomas showed my mil the little things we bought last night and she loved them, ha. the only superstition she has is not making the bed before the baby comes home. it can be built and the mattress etc put in but the sheet can't be put on the bed until the baby comes home. i said i think i could manage that one for her, ha.

oh, and in a basket full of christmas things a family friend bought us they put in a tiny pair of booties hee. she laughed and said she couldn't resist. so it seems we aren't the only ones

A little late but congratulations
