Ok, Week 15 :eek:

http://www.pregnancyguideonline.com/wk15.htm

Chuff me the weeks are flying by!!

We had a busy weekend, my Wife's sister and husband came up for the weekend, with Little Lawson in tow, he is 5.5 months old and is a lovely little boy, I view his as my own son and treat him as such. My Brother in law is my best friend and we get on far to well, I always love seeing them 👍

Having Lawson here gave The wife and I some practice time with Nappies (Diapers) feeding, bathing ect and getting him to sleep. I think I done really well, and I was especially proud of the nappy change.....right up until it was pointed out it was on back-to-front :grumpy:

Lawson did kick off big time on sunday morning though, his teeth are coming through and he was making his discomfort known to the universe! This was taxing and did test my patience, but I kept cool (after 3 hours of solid screaming in my ear) and he finally stopped...it has made me realise I am going to need to develop extra patience :lol:

My thoughts this week have, i'm ashamed to say, been dark.
I suffer from anxiety problems and have for a couple of years, when I'm having bad days all I can think about is bad things happening to the people I love and how I can help them if something bad does happen...Also I hear my own voice telling me its my fault these things happen ect.

Anyway, that's all very negative and I want this to be a happy Thread, so here is to a better week!

:cheers:
 
Thanks mate! It was bloody terrifying and exciting all at the same time, I did my best to remain calm but inside I could feel the nervous excitement bubbling over. I just kept thinking to myself, wow, I finally get to meet my daughter - an incredible feeling!

It was a bit of a comedown when we both realised it wasn't going to happen but at the very least it was a great drill and I feel more prepared than ever for that frantic-calm drive to the hospital :D

If anything, it's cranked my excitement level about the birth up to eleven.
 
I think we should just have a GTP baby thread with all different updates and (nobody take this the wrong way :lol: ) pictures :)

We won't as I imagine taking a laptop and GTP into a hospital and then being on it while your child is being born is not something they'd do. :lol:
 
Still waiting it out here and ready to go whenever. I guess she will come when she's ready :D

Hope all goes good for you and Famine, MC and of course your little one!

Week 16

http://www.pregnancyguideonline.com/wk16.htm

Another week has gone by, so, what's new?

Well Mrs Mad has like Zero appetite, which means I am cooking dinner for one most of the time. I worry that she isn't getting enough food in her, she needs to for both her own sake and that of our baby.
We went shopping together on sunday, and just walking around the store looking at fresh veg/fruit was making her feel sick, she looked green and I honestly thought she was going to hurl, so she went back and sat in the car while I finished the shop.

Mrs Mad thinks she has felt the baby move, and seeing the excitement on her face was heart warming. She isn't entirely sure as this is our first child but its different to anything she has felt before and keeps feeling it, so it is most likely she can feel our little one!

I made my first big sacrifice for the baby today....I put my beloved Alfa Romeo up for sale...arghh I hate having to part with her but we will need something cheaper to run with a child on the way, any penny we can save must be saved which means.... :grumpy:
Although something weird happened this morning, I was looking out the window at the Alfa feeling quite frankly gutted, then turned to leave the room and looked into the empty Cot...I felt a smile on my face thinking about having a tiny me in that Cot and trying to picture my babys smile, and suddenly the Alfa didn't matter. I know I will do anything for my baby now and this thought makes me mad happy. :lol:

That is all.
 
I wouldn't worry too much about what the missus eats as long as she's taking the colic acid and vitamins, the baby will take everything it needs from her regardless of what she eats. Also good to hear your not feeling too hard done to getting rid if the Alfa, it's not always easy making these kind of changes, even though they pale into insignificance once the baby arrives, so you're doing well.

Just wait until you can feel the baby kick, it's amazing...if a little freaky!
 
Outline of a foot is always cool - for you, obviously quite uncomfortable for the ladies. :guilty:

What Alfa is it? If feel for you there, I had to give up my red 'grale Evo1 back in the 90's because my first wife wanted kids and we'd need something 'different'! We never had kids and then divorced... :grumpy: God I loved that car. :lol:

Still it does always work out for the best and now I have kids with the bestest Mrs T and I can start dreaming again of getting a car to love... other than a MPV. ;)
 
Still waiting over here. The never ending wait.

Maybe she just doesn't want to come out? Maybe she's been listening in on my other half and I's proposals for names and just isn't having any of it.

I hope she comes soon, the wait is murder!

Still! wow she is taking her time, this means she will be late for everything for the rest of her life :lol:

Good luck and keep us posted 👍
 
I was three weeks late. :ouch: I was due on the 1st of January and they eventually gave my mum a C-section on the 23rd of January.
 
Had another midwife appointment this morning and she is amazed that bump hasn't appeared yet. My other half was awake from two thirty in the morning last night, so I am starting to get a taste of what the sleepless nights are going to be like. Maybe today will be the day?

24 hour Nurburgring endurance events have got nothin' on having a child when it comes to endurance.

Picked up Skyrim to while away the time :)

I have so much sympathy for you.
 
Strange how a thread about a happy moment (by the way congrats to the Mad family) turns into one about giving up cars on GTPlanet.
 
Well, not that strange. MadMike was just saying how he'd be selling his Alfa and myself and others were sympathising with him. We've had kids and been there. :)
