Kim's diary of being a new mum

[Kim26]

Yeah I quite like Linc too...he's a bit more my type than Michael (rough and ready lol) but Michael is a sweetheart.

Oh bless you hun x I think that seems to be the norm round about now. I kept waking up in the night feeling sick too - I think due to hunger but I didn't want to get up and get anything otherwise it would be murder trying to get back off to sleep. Really should have done as I feel pretty nauseous today too And that's after having yoghurt and an apple today x

Hope you feel better hun xxx

I have a box of biscuits in the drawer by my bed that i have had to dip in to a couple of times recently in the middle of the night. I sort of wish i had of done that last night as it may have taken the edge off - still feeling queasy now even after i managed to eat some cereal and i've eaten my lunch. Now i think i've got HB as have a burny/acidy/yucky feeling at the back of my throat that nothing seems to be getting rid of it. Trying a plainish yogurt now to see if that helps... if not a glass of milk will follow shortly.
Think i may have to buy some gaviscon or rennies just in case.....it seems to be happening more frequently now...even though i am still not 100% sure it is hb - but certainly seems like it is. There just isn't any pain which everyone suggests there should be.

Ooh yea I like Linc too. But he's more affair naterial. Whereas Michael is marriage material.

Ha I told J last night "one of the girls on minis ha started watching Michael" He says "rally? That's mad. Prison break was years ago" ha ha
He knew exactly what I meant without even having to think

Must have been more obvious about my crush than I realised lol

We are a little slow on the uptake! I've never really got in to series of shows.... tend to forget to watch and then get too far behind. Mike got me watching Dexter and it's given me the bug and we saw prison break on netflix and decided to try it!

I love that he knew you were talking about prison break but you said michael lol.

Feeling really tearful tonight and not sure why. Had a complete breakdown over what to cook for dinner!!! Ended up with scrambled egg on toast as I just couldn't think what to cook and felt so overwhelmed by having to make that decision.... what on earth is that about?! Feel really bad as poor Mike doesn't feel well and had to deal with me being an emotional cow bag having a meltdown over dinner. I guess falling asleep on the sofa after work wasnt a good idea!

Awww bless you x pregnancy has a lot to answer for sometimes. I wouldn't worry - we've all had our fair share of tears and tantrums the last 8-9 months hun - including me!!!! I threw a wobbly the other day because John didn't make me a hot chocolate!!!

Hope you feel better xx tomorrow is a new day big hugs xx

Well was still feeling pretty sad this morning - in fact wrote a post and it was so "woe is me" that i just closed my browser because i felt i had to man up and get over it and didn't want you girls thinking i was as pathetic as i felt.

Feeling happier after lunch, and i think it's helped that i've spoken to Mike about a couple of things that were playing on my mind and contributing to how i felt. So hoping that the tearful, overwhelmed and generally pathetic feeling has gone and i can be happier again.

I went to lunch with my sister and we just went to the pub for drink (non-alcoholic of course!), well we went to leave and i stood up and OMG the pain of a full bladder and baby pressing on it. I hobbled to the toilets and had to go down 2 tiny steps to get in to the toilets and it HURT so bad. Must remember to never leave it when i think i need a wee!

Oh Kim.. You poor love.. We (I) would never think you letting out how you feel on here as you being pathetic at all.. There is nothing pathetic about how any person feels at any given time as we can't help those emotions.. They just are.. And its always better to let it out.. I hope you being able to type it out and get it on paper (screen) helped you feel somewhat better at least?

Yea never wait to pee.. Its just not worth it!!!!

Hope you enjoyed lunch and your time with your sister.. xxx

Not pathetic at all, in fact it's totally normal to feel like that at times! I still do now and I'm not even pregnant. We're all here to listen so don't feel like you can't say things if it would help you feel better to get it all out. Big hugs xxx

Thanks hun, i know you girls probably wouldn't think badly of how i felt, but i felt awful for actually admitting to how i felt (as well as being sad i felt quite angry about things and some of it was relating to losing my dad and once it was written it felt like it was just a bit too much post, if you know what i mean?) So instead i sort of vented a few bits to Mike as i know he wouldn't think badly of me and would hopefully understand how i'm feeling. I think it helped writing it out even if i didn't post it, although i did have to keep popping to the toilets for a little cry but maybe that was what was needed.

As i say feeling better this afternoon so something helped kick the mood

Not very impressed - as i mentioned last week i ordered the bedding from mothercare and haven't received the order nor any further communication from them. So i have emailed them and they are "looking in to it", but the bedding set is now no longer on their website i will be really annoyed if i end up not being able to have it as it was exactly what i wanted and i've planned the room around the bedding so i'll be back to square one! grrrr to mothercare!

Thanks missy, i know it's normal and i am sure hormones have a lot to answer for, i've had a couple of weeks of feeling OK (not random bouts of crying etc) so i guess it was bound to catch up on me. xxx

I can relate Hun and I'm
Sure all of us on here can!
I've had numerous emotional outbursts of late and most of the time I can't work out why.
We're always here for you on here and nobody bares any judgement! Xxx

I don't think there's a single one of us on here that hasn't written a 'woe is me' type post. That's what we're all here for and we've all been there, in one way or another. Pregnancy hormones have a LOT to answer for!!! And, like Sarah said, so do post pregnancy hormones. I was mad at Tom the other night for being asleep when id TOLD him to go to sleep because he was working the next day. Completely irrational but it mattered to me at the time. Tom doesn't know this though, it went away as quick as it came so I forgot to tell him.

Glad you had a nice time with your sister and that you feel better xx

I write at least one a day!

 

[Kim26]

Grrr I'm so angry! I'm back to square one on the nursery theme. Just heard back from Mothercare who inform me that they never had the bedding in stock and it won't be back in stock! So now I've got a sodding cot mobile and no bedding to go with it. Grrrrrrr so angry that bedding was perfect and I had the room all planned based on it

Aw, that's rubbish! I would definitely complain about that, they shouldn't be advertising it if they don't have it. Which bedding was it, I've been looking at cot bedding myself so better make sure I don't order it too! xxx

 

[MrsLmc]

My god if you've only thought of doing 1 woe is me post you are doing well!! My whole thread was woe is me lol..

Sorry your bedding fell through :-( hopefully you'll find something better xx

 

[PrincessPeach]

Hi hun x

Hope you're ok?

Whatever is on your mind you know you can talk to us lot x No one will judge or think "cheer up woman!" God, I've had soo many "down" posts over the last few months what with one thing or another - sometimes it's just good to write it all down. Minis can be quite therapeutic at times I think. I know I post to help me get it all out - even if no one replied, I'd still feel better just by writing down how I'm feeling. So I hope you're ok? Big hugs.

And so sorry to hear about Mothercare. It's a shame as I've never had a bad word to say about them, but I have known others to be completely let down by them It's not on at all. Especially when preparing for a baby can be stressful, you'd expect them to be reliable. xxx

Missy its no longer on their website but was the little circus set. The annoying thing is I bought the mobile off eBay so now I have the mobile and no bedding! Typical!

I got some of the Little Circus stuff in the summer but from an outlet store because they told me they were discontinuing it. Can't believe they still had it on the website. I'd definitely be complaining. We kind of mismatched ours though so we've got the mobile, crib sheet and blanket and rug. But we've bought other circus type things from other places. Still doesn't help when you want a theme and they've stopped it.

Thanks girls, you're all so lovely xxx
next time I'll hit submit and won't be concerned that you girls will think I'm a blubbering, emotional wreck!

Good thing is I think just writing it out helped so feeling happier this evening. Even if I am angry at Mothercare and my nursery ideas being set back to square one. I guess it's good baby doesn't need the nursery from day 1 as it's not going to get done prior to arrival at this rate!
