Re: New Mommies to be May, June & July 2011

Karienh, I have been a sahm for the past 7 years. (Since I got married) I worked once for 7 months, but it wasnt for me letting someone else raise my kids!

My story: Its getting to me! I dont have a maid. I do everything myself. I am starting to think of myself as a maid! And it feels like no one respects me. I have a 4 and 5 y old, and the house is a disaster all the time! And I have to clean it.
I have NO friends! I am at home all day. The only time I get out is when I go to the shop, and on weekends. Its frustrating me A LOT! All my friends are in other towns. We live in a small town. I had a friend in town, but she ended up backstabbing me! And the most ladies over here are snobs! Ok, I had to get all that out of my system!

Just cause thats how it is form me, is not to say it will be so for you! My advice: Surround yourself with friends! My biggest problem is we moved here when my lg was 4mnths old. I guess I will make friends next year from my lb Gr. R class.

You dont perhaps know of a way I can earn from home? Get my 'self respect' back!

Ok, long post. Sorry.
Ms is back today!

karienh, i still want to work once the baby is here, but maybe only part time. And i am also lucky i can work from home if i wish.
I think if you get into a routine to go out every day it shoudl be ok. and join a baby playgroup or something.

MsDee - I think it's perfectly normal. I was very worried at the beginning because he was not excited at all but after every scan it's gotten better. He now greets the baby everyday when he gets home - but my tummy is pretty big so I think that makes it a bit more real for him as well. I think it might get more real for him the closer to the time it gets.

I have a question as well. Are any of you stay at home moms? I do freelance work from home at the moment, but will be doing a bit less once the baby is here. And I'm getting nervous about being at home with a baby all day. What do you do to get out? Where do you meet other moms? I'm used to being on my own a lot but am suddenly scared that I'll get cabin fever if I'm home with a baby all day.

Phillipa, so sorry to hear that your MS is still going strong Hope it gets better soon.

Hi Ladies,

MsDee, I think your DH might not realise that you are really pregnant? For us it i sso much different, so i understand why it takes them awhile.

My DH is more excited than me though, he wanted to start with children much sooner than I wanted. HE is reading all these baby books and keeps asking me if i have this and that kind of symptom. Very sweet.

Karienh i love the link, very funny

We are not going on holiday, we just came back from the Canary Islands 2 weeks ago, so we will just stay home which is also nice.

Esamri, the spotting is gone. but i keep going to the toilet to check every few mins. Cant wait for the scan on Monday! I am both scared and excited.
