Mother of 5 Boys Says She's Afraid to Tell Her Family She's Pregnant Again Because Last Time Her Mom ‘Rolled Her Eyes'
A Mumsnet user, who has five boys, is having another baby She revealed that she's afraid to tell her family about her pregnancy news because of a possible negative reaction She said her mom "rolled her eyes" at her previous pregnancyA mom of five is expecting another baby — and bracing for her family's reaction to her pregnancy news. The expectant woman, who has five boys, turned to the popular U.K. forum Mumsnet to explain how she's apprehensive about sharing the news. 'I feel like everyone thinks I'm a joke. haven't even told half the fam cos i know what they'll say,' she wrote. 'Last time i told my mum i was preg she rolled her eyes n said 'again?''The woman said it wasn't an 'ideal' time for her to be pregnant again but she was still happy. 'I just want to be happy bout it. i love my kids loads even if life's a bit hectic,' she wrote. Despite her happiness, she's been overwhelmed with the demands of motherhood and life. 'I'm knackered n got sickness bad but still doin school runs n sortin all the meals n tantrums. nursery called again yday bout my 4yo n i just cried in the loo after,' she posted. She wanted to know if other users had 'got a biggish family n feel like ppl look down on you,' and wanted to feel 'less alone.'

Another commented, 'Honestly, the thing that sticks out in your post is 'I know it's not ideal but it's happened now' — so this pregnancy was unplanned? Or more than one? That sounds deeply irresponsible to me.' Others offered the woman well wishes on her new baby. 'Congratulations! Babies bring their own joy. As long as you look after them and love them then ignore what anyone else says. It's your life and no one else's. If you don't want any more then ask your other half to get the snip, mine had it done and it's really not that bad at all apparently,' one wrote.

Baby Cheetah Named Taylor Swift Meets Her Love Match in Another Orphaned Cub Named Travis Kelce
A cheetah cub named Taylor Swift has made a new friend — a cub named Travis Kelce The two cubs met at the Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre in Somaliland "Not only is [cub Taylor Swift] thriving, it looks like we have a little Love Story unfolding on the savannah," the center's staff said in a statementCheetah cub Taylor Swift was named for the music superstar after the baby animal was rescued from the illegal wildlife pet trade. Now, she's made a friend with a familiar name! In April, the Cheetah Conservation Fund saved the orphaned cub and moved her to its Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre in Somaliland. Taylor Swift, who only weighed three pounds when she arrived, adapted well to the safe, new home. Now, things have gotten even cozier at Taylor's new abode. The Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre recently welcomed four new cubs, all siblings. Fellow orphans from the illegal wildlife trade, the new cubs on the block were introduced to Taylor Swift shortly after they settled in. Taylor made fast friends with the cubs, including forming an especially close bond with one of the males of the inseparable group. Once the cheetah center noticed the bond between Taylor and the 5-month-old newcomer, it decided to name the male cheetah cub Travis Kelce. According to the center, Travis Kelce, the cheetah, is "playful, confident, and has a winning streak," like his namesake. "Not only is [cub Taylor Swift] thriving, it looks like we have a little Love Story unfolding on the savannah," the centre's staff said in a statement, adding, "The two have become nearly inseparable—grooming each other, napping side by side, and occasionally partaking in friendly roughhousing." The male cub's "rookie stats," per the statement, include a sitting height of about 50 cm, a length of about 90 cm, and the special skills of "climbing trees, running fast [and] scarfing down snacks."

The young male cheetah is also "fiercely protective of the things he likes most," including Taylor Swift, the cheetah cub. Read the original article on People
