Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

[abz]

it's always a good thing, ha. although i think this baby is going to end up dressed like a demon most of the time at this rate

 

[Smiley Bon]

Heeeeee I hadn't thought of it like that, awwww bless her, I am sure her temperament won't match

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I'm also not a big fan of pink & its incredibly hard to find things that aren't... its also amazing how quick a little girl can decide that everything she wants has to be pink!

 

[coachnomad]

Hi Abz, hope you are keeping well. I'm definitely with you on the pink thing, I don't like it either.

 

[abz]

well i figure as long as she can't demand things then i can keep the pink things down... ha. i'm sure when the time comes i will submit gracefully... kinda

i wouldn't mind it so much but EVERYTHING is pink. i mean, the entire next girls collection is pink. it's just silly. am hoping asda and tesco, which are far more in my price range, will be more sensible...

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Ebay... has become my one stop shop... a range of colours & designs!! My sister's due the same time as you Abz... if she has another boy your more than welcome to our non-pink girly bits!!

 

[abz]

ha. thanks linz. how are things going with you? haven't heard from you in a while. it's grand to have you back

 

[clarri]

Dont forget Primark, they have fantastic baby stuff for great value. And i agree with everyone, dont go mad, with your first, everyone will be buying you loads. xxx

 

[abz]

yup. my best mate has two so i've become quite well versed in where to get bargains i'll let everyone else buy the pricey stuff, ha.

 

[Gemstone]

I used to buy the pretty girly stuff for my mates little girl but I preferred the pink trimmed chambray to the pink froth x

Jim - enjoy the cuddly one x

 

[wannabslim]

Ahh yes Primark stuff is fab - so cute! And dirt cheap doesn't matter that it doesn't last long as your littl'un will grow out of it quicker than it can wear out! xx

You'll come round to pink in the end!! My sister was determined to have no pink for my niece (your namesake) Abigail & banned me & my Mum from buying anything even remotely pinkish but Abigail (who'll be 4 in 16 days) loves everything pink and my sister even wears it herself now!!! You'll see!! x

Pink is a thing people often have a "thing" about. It's all about being conditioned to being a girl, part of the sytem of keeping us in our place - "Oh is it a boy or a girl? Ah... a little girl - put her in pink - never mind, perhaps you'll have a boy next time". All about having a son to carry on the family name, the family business (........ and son), the father's machine in the factory. Daughters were destined to make sons for other families and defining that role early in life was important for some. For others it was no more than getting rid of that moment when you say "What a cute little baby - is it a girl or a boy?" If it's a pink one, it's a girl - simples!

Whatever you decide Abz it will be right for your baby and she will be the most important person in your world - and let's face it pink or not these days it can be a girls world too if you have the fight to go out and get it. Give her courage and determination and above all self belief and it won't matter what she wears x

Been hibernating Abz... just lurking but not posting. Have finally realised why I've been feeling so pants recently... got diagnosed with diabetes on New Years Eve... kind of a blessing in a weird way as at least I know what I'm dealing with!

Are you getting kicks yet? can't remember when that kicks in (no pun intended)... I always thought I would miss that hugely when they were born but funnily enough them being around was a huge distraction! xxx

 

[Gemstone]

I loved being pregnant and loved having babies so I know what you mean. I had 3 but the youngest is nearly 30 now - Gosh I'm old x

 

[abz]

i'm being booted something chronic. what i thought were kicks before were obviously before she got her boots on... and i'm a little apprehensive as to how hard she's going to hit me when she's bigger!! ha. i think it might be rather uncomfortable...

 

[Gemstone]

Ah.... Abz - I'm so jealous!

 

[clarri]

Me too, that was the one thing about pregnancy that i loved, that feeling of life. How exciting for you Abz. xxx

 

[Gemstone]

Ahhh..... (sighs deeply) The only eggs I've got left now are the hens eggs in the fridge so that's my preggers days done x

 

[Jim]

Morning abz, how are you this morning love.
