Aaw fab news. New babies always make me smile

Woohoo!! two babywearers on The Fat Fighters!!!

Congrats to your friend Jet!!

Really?! Is it on catch up somewhere?!

More exciting news! My friend asked me to be Godmother! I've had a quick cuddle already - he's gorgeous, 9lbs 8oz! Am so broody now, have to stop myself flushing my pills away
William wanted to know if the baby would be at nursery today, bless!

In other news, SIL is pregnant again, after losing her baby in June at 15 weeks. All is going well, at 15 weeks now, has had 2 scans and no probs identified thus far.

Strart of new term wasn't so bad after all.

Loopy - quite possibly! HERE is the link to the series - not sure if it's on 4oD yet tho, but i'm sure it will be in a few hours. Not sure what carriers they were using but they were either SSCs or MTs for deffo!!

Jet - fingers crossed for SIL! Hope everything goes ok this time.

Getting broody myself here but keep reminding myself that i do actually like sleep filled nights these days and i am getting on a bit so best not to reproduce anymore. I'll be 44 in about 2 weeks!!

I know what you mean about the sleep. My friend said her son was waking hourly last night! I'm not sure how I would cope with that with 2 other kids to deal with in the day too.

William actually drew a person yesterday. It was a stickman drawing and recognisably a person, whereas before they were cicles with about 11 limbs So proud!

Aaw jet that is so lovely being asked to be Godmother!! But yes, the sleep thing... Mine "only" woke 4-5 times last night... At practically eight months old I could really do with moving on from this stage and bluntly it's no wonder I now have PND . ADs have kicked in now, I think, ladies, so life looks a little brighter. Just need to get rid of my parents and see how we get on on our own again.

DD3 is a little sod ATM. She simply WILL NOT get on and do anything she has been asked to do, and we have tears 600 times a day. Doing my head in!

Went to build a bear yesterday for DD1s birthday. OK it's expensive, but they did really look after the kids, who all loved it. DDs bear was £36 but that was because she spent some of her birthday money on accessories on top of the £25 I'd budgeted. Glad it's out of the way now, I think that as of tomorrow we can finally resume ops normal for which I am grateful. Struggling this weekend

Hello loopy how are you doing today?

Bad day

Loopy , is there anything we can help with?

Thanks but the demons are all in my head. A little better now after a good howl with a lovely friend who has stayed to help with the girls tonight. Just struggling to believe I feel this crap again in my life.

It helps just knowing you're all there

Well on Friday my demon was my 4 year old! He locked my phone to the extent that I could not get into it at all. After extensive research I discovered that the only way I could get it working again was to upgrade the system meaning I lost anything saved onto the phone, but the memory card was ok. I was not impressed, though it's like having a new phone now as everything is updated. I've lost some numbers which I must have saved onto the phone, but have others, all the apps are gone, which has its plus side as William is no longer interested in going near the phone!

I was in a foul mood when I finally got home after waiting to see the doctor for over an hour, as the chemists couldn't fill my prescription as there are manufacturing problems and had to wait until today for a new one. I took it all out on William and made him cry by threatening to throw away his favourite game before bursting into tears myself after DH told me off! Not my finest hour, I'll admit.

Loopy, we are always here for you. Standard.

Jet - Ah poor you, i have days like that too and get so worked up!! I'm convinced the entire world is out to get me!!

Thanks guys <<teary hug>>

Extra hug for jet. You are normally so calm and placid, I can hardly imagine you bawling him out.

Slightly better day here, but still feeling quite desolate. Spoke to HV yesterday and today, thank goodness I have a lovely one!!!!!

How are we all today?

Well, I remain meh but hope the rest of you are better than that!!

Hi all, good weekend?

Hi Loopy

Not bad thanx. Not very eventful but pleasant all the same. How are you?

In a very black place my sense of responsibility towards the children has been starting to leave me on occasion over the last 36 hours. I am frightened of what I may do if it goes have just explained all this (and more) to HV so I am being looked after. But I don't want to be here

Been honest with GP today as well. It's good the right people know, but they still can't take it away and I have to get though this somehow

Loopy - Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes. I have some understanding how crushingly frightening this is. Sounds like you are accessing support and doing everything you can. Loads of love x

Thanks. So difficult right now. DH has nt been great so far either, practically fab but emotionally dreadful. Taking everything personally and making his own judgements about symptom/cause. I feel really bad about him and older girls, but when lucid I think this must be symptom. But he has taken it on wholeheartedly as cause. Have tried and tried and tried to make him understand but not sure he is there yet. Not sure what point is if he isn't

Hi guys. Hope you are all well. January is always a bloody horrible month, I wish I could hibernate (on a warm beach!) and wake up in Spring. Having said that, had a lovely walk today and that perked me up a bit and hopefully knackered the LO out.

Loopy - glad you have a nice HV and GP and thank god you feel able to talk to people and let them know what is going on for you, even if they do not always get it completely. How are you today? Are friends coming round?

Jet - I have had a few days like that myself recently, shrieking like a banshee over a chocolate milkshake incident earlier! Tiredness is the thing with me, after a good night's sleep I feel like I can sort the world out but for some bizarre reason I keep going to bed later and later!

Not much to report here, handed in my first MEd essay this week and passed my exam so I am relieved that the first module is out of the way. Just realised that I don't think I have been on here since xmas. Had a lovely xmas but new year was - big family (inlaws) argument on new year's eve!! Made me very glad to get back to our little quiet house in our boring suburb! Looking at skiing hols for next new year - of we win the lottery.
