Going to be an uncle

[unsure_about_this]

Now my sister had her first/second scan, it does show a baby. we don't know whether it is a girl or a boy yet still to early to tell.

I am suffering badly with my health anxiety my sister does not know this. I can thinking every symptom/sign is cancer.

I'm not down for babysitting or nappy changing duties. poo

[BikerMatt]

Congratulations to you and your family:yahoo:

[unsure_about_this]

Thanks my niece or nephew will get spoilt rotten from me, and hopefully will not pick up my ha

[lior]

Congrats!!

By the time the baby is old enough to be picking up on specific kinds of anxieties, you will have sorted yourself out :) you won't pass it on, keep working on yourself :)

As for babysitting etc - you might be ok to be babysitting in a few months. So much can change over this time.

You don't have to tell your sister why you won't babysit, but depending on your relationship, it might help you grow closer to tell her, and she might be more understanding of your hesitance to babysit.

Baby poo is ridiculously nothing-y when they're really little - you might not be as freaked out about it as you think you might be.

[unsure_about_this]

It is due in sometime in October, so still got plenty of time. I don't think we will see much of the baby as we live 60 miles from where my sister live, so train journey. I will be scared to drop the baby when it is born,
I am saving up for the 1st birthday, sometime nice for the birth and baby first christmas, spoilt them rotten.
I hope I can get myself sorted out I had ha 6 years and have diagonsed myself with at least 200 cancers including more worrying the ones women can only get. The only thing I got right is a tooth abscess.

I probably be down for babysitting duties once it is older enough to wipe it bum itself. and toilet trained.

She has plenty of friends to help out as well,

Thanks I am still very worried about health still, which I keep thinking in the big c.

[unsure_about_this]

We have talked about me holding the baby, my sister says you will be fine when bambino is born. someone will sit by the side of you so the baby head does not jerk which I am worried about. I warned my sister and brother in law I am handing it back if its fills it nappy or be sick on me.

[BikerMatt]

Be afraid, be very afriad of the projectile vomit!!!!:roflmao:

[pulisa]

Or the "scrambled egg" nappy!:D

That's if most of doesn't end up down the inside of their legs, or half way up their back!!! How the hell it get's up there is beyond me:shrug:

[unsure_about_this]

My mum says if I keep it up I won't see my niece or nephew as I sent myself to an early grave for worrying about my health. I said I would live to 420 years, she said 420 days because I will sent myself an early grave.

Your Mum really isn't helping you with this comment. Absolutely the worst thing to say. I think she should apologise to you because this shows she has no understanding of how HA affects you.

She already said sorry. I don't like all the idoms like sending myself to an early grave. I seem to remember when I was younger she used to say to me and my siter we wont reach our 6th birthday when we were bad.

[unsure_about_this]

Not longer to we found out whether I am having a niece or nephew, looking forward to taking it to the first football match, looking forward to buying its first Sheffield Wednesday bib. start it on the right track.

[unsure_about_this]

Still getting closer now


I am suffering badly with my ha, and it causing friction, my mum said I wont be here next year if I keep it up as I would work myself to an early grave :weep: worrying.

[pulisa]

Very unhelpful and thoughtless comment from your Mum. Don't take it literally-she's just frustrated because you are stuck in an HA mindset. It's not your fault but you do need help from a specialist mental health team who are trained to deliver therapy to people with your disability.

[unsure_about_this]

So I found out I have a niece now, still very anxiety about my pains and aches thinking this is still cancer, ms (even though my bloods both sets were clear) I am scared I have big c (even though it is unlikely) and it is too late to cure if it is cancer. The GPS says wear and tear and normal aches and pains as you get older, but I keep thinking this is cancer alll the time.

[Phuzella]

Congratulations on becoming an uncle :)

[pulisa]

Congratulations from me too!

[unsure_about_this]

thanks Baby not due to October, but from the scans it is a girl. was right three times for my uncle and once for my sister. usually can predict the sex, you don't need to waste money on scans.

[unsure_about_this]

Well it getting nearly, and stilll not better with my anxiety :(

[unsure_about_this]

Still not born yet, my sister is overdue, me and my sister were overdue.

[pulisa]

It's quite common for first babies to be overdue, Phil. You'll soon be an uncle now!

[Roseessa]

Being an Aunt or Uncle is best because when they start to cry or do something in their nappy you can give them back. hahah

[pulisa]

Your little niece won't worry about your HA-just enjoy being an Uncle, Phil. You've done so well to seek help.

[unsure_about_this]

Well she finally arrived last night.


I have already said I am handing it back if does something in its nappy, if it cries I might be the only one who can stop it from crying.

CONGRATULATIONS:yesyes::yesyes::yesyes:

Well, just be aware of the projectile vomit, it gives zero warning. The nappy filling normally comes with a poo push face which always made me chuckle, but gives you time to pass baby back.

Thanks no idea when we will go and see her,

[pulisa]

Congratulations, Uncle Phil!

Sorry that Wednesday had such a dismal result today though...Your little niece's arrival will steer them back onto winning ways!

[unsure_about_this]

Thanks



I went to the match today and I think she would have scored the chances we missed today.


Hopefully we wont get another bad performance, we got our neighbours next week which I am not going to (as I don't do away matches, ) I been to the Lane three times not to watch the derbies matches, just when my Dad used to work sponser the matches and I got taken to my 8th birthday to watch the Blades.

[pulisa]

You can't beat the Steel City derbies!
Watch it on TV instead? Wonder whether your manager will last until then?!!

No idea know who we will bring in. Being a Friday night match the local pubs near us are mainly Wednesday



I am ready to teach my niece Wednesday songs of course the clean ones.

[unsure_about_this]

We went up to see her on Monday, my brother in law made sure i could handle her (he knows I have problems with my disability) my niece was a big girl even at 3 days old and did not cry, was sick on me or fill her nappy.

[pulisa]

Glad that you have met her and even got to hold her! That can be quite daunting for a newbie uncle! It will be lovely for you visiting her and watching her develop skills and then handing her back if she plays up!

Maybe your niece could be something to focus on in the hard times when your HA is making you feel down and very anxious? Do you get on well with your sister?

She will be giving me plenty to focus on, in fact she only played up a little before we left, at least she was not sick on me or my parents or filled her nappy.


I get on with my sister most the time.


My sister and baby were released from hospital last night.


My brother in law brother and partner have yet to meet her, both will probably be scared to hold her.


I think will probably go and and visit in a few weeks time just to help my sister when my brother in law goes back to work (his work are good and will give him more than the 2 weeks off if needed as he can work from home)

[unsure_about_this]

A few weeks ago, I push my niece in the pram, she loves bumpy pavements

Looking forward to seeing her over Christmas, I got my ear plugs ready.

[unsure_about_this]

Well my niece has been, she was a very good and did not wake me and my parents up, she was sick on me a bit on Christmas Eve, she a good screaming fit whilst my brother in law and sister went out for a quick pint at the local pub.

The usually joke when I was nursing her quick everyone grab their coats, at seven weeks old I can't look after my niece on my own.

Santa did not bring her any coal. I asked her what she hoping santa would bring her on Christmas Eve got no answer

[pulisa]

Looks like she may be getting Steve Bruce as her new manager though?

[unsure_about_this]

Yes that will be good, my sister told us she did a properly poo on Christmas Day not a egg messy one.

We already bought her a book ready for next Christmas,

my niece won't like tomorrow as she getting her first jabs,

[pulisa]

Calpol at the ready but hopefully no side effects. A very good thing to have done though.

Thanks I think my sister and brother in law got plenty of that, my uncle and his wife (and three kids) got the joys of seeing my niece tomorrow for the first time.

[unsure_about_this]

My niece spoilt me for Christmas a box of jelly babies and some other bits, she even managed to tell my sister and brother in law what to write in my Christmas Card (with her babbling) and birthday card early this month.

Not bad for a 8 week old baby, who not going a lot of money in her bank account,

I am starting to look for books for her next Christmas, birthday and Easter thinking of Spot books or Tiger came for tea maybe when she is about 3.

[pulisa]

Or Steve Bruce's autobiography?:D

My sister has already started reading her the Harry Potter books, I think I buy her that for Easter.

Thanks

Been a while since I updated about my niece, can't believe in November she be a year old,

She can crawl backwards but not forwards

She is very mischievous and her smile will get her out of trouble or into trouble.

[unsure_about_this]

Well my niece has mastered crawling forwards, she also loves calcuators (to add her money up) watches and mobile phones, my mum gave her one which does not work.

she also loves zips for some reason, was very interesting to try to put my zips from my track suit bottoms legs last week.

[unsure_about_this]

I can't believe my niece is one (was one on Saturday)

Me and her other uncle are both looking forward to she is 18 so she can take us to the pub.

[unsure_about_this]

We had my niece over a few days over christmas as well as my sister and brother in law.

I spent hours playing with her, as she got plenty of new toys. a nice wooden bus, and I bought her one of those musical books which plays incy wincy spider, my niece knows how to press the button. she is getting more mischevious by the day.

Her new game is posting items underneath the sofa, for safe keeping.

She gave me a surprise on Saturday came and woke me up with my Mum (luckly I was not naked under the covers)

[unsure_about_this]

My niece can now walk very well, she also have a new game she hates taking her shoes off.

She loves climbing on me,

We think her first word was poo. I did not teach her that.

[unsure_about_this]

My niece is growing up far too fast, she just had her 3rd birthday, and my parents, me, my brother in law and sister took her to have breakfast with Santa today.

[pulisa]

How lovely for her and for you all! What does she want for Christmas?

[unsure_about_this]

How lovely for her and for you all! What does she want for Christmas?

She told us what she wanted for her 3rd birthday , which was a big girls pram to push her baby doll in.

The person who did Santa was very good , she is going to see Santa again and have tea with him in a few weeks time with my brother in law and sister

Thankfully the selection box all the kids had were given out after breakfast , as my niece would have not eaten her breakfast. as chocolate is a treat for her

[unsure_about_this]

My auntie and uncle will be in tomorrow on the 26th December, as my niece is getting a sweet shop toy set, with real sweets, and those pick and mix bags

[unsure_about_this]

My niece is now 5, we did not see them over Christmas this year, as it was their turn to go down, to see my brother in law Mum parents and co, not very good as some of them finished up throwing up etc. we don't whether it was a viral airborne infection or something they ate.

Hopefully we will see them in the new year
