That's lovely Steph. Must have been a really happy occasion! Smile

LuluJakey1 · 17/08/2014 19:52

I think I would probably notice Cupcake and Ducky, although if I didn't have my contact lenses in it might take me a while. Grin

Seems DH is pretty run of the mill in comparison with lots of other DHs. I won't tell him because he has spent the time since friends left periodically saying 'You see, you are soooooo lucky to have me'. I have been smiling tolerantly and agreeing with him.

He is making mugs of tea and getting me some of his chocolate brownies he made yesterday! I am not swopping him, 'specially while he is on this baking lark. Grin

Hi Ladies!

My DH does half of the housework, but we always does it together. For example, when I cook, he empty the dishwasher, or when I wash the clothes, he cleans the house, etc. Before moving together, I told him that neither of us liked to do the cleaning, therefore we should do it together, to be fair. Now, we've invented the "cleaning thursday". We clean the house together every thursday
for one hour, and then we order a pizza and eat it with a DVD :) I love thursday now :)

I had all my family today, and we offered them the customized bottles! It was funny, because all my sisters understood the label immediately and started to congratulate us, but my parents only understood it a few minutes later... my mother was really emotional (3 grandchildrens in 3 years, a lot of emotions!!), it was really fun to told them :) Next week, it will be my FIL turns!! ;)

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 19:24

Lol I meant to say if he puts washing on, I put it out lol!! Grin

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 19:23

DH and I share the chores out around the house so it's pretty 50/50 when I wash up, he wipes, if he puts washing on, he puts it out, if he strips the bed, I make us a nice new fresh bed.... I love how things work in our house (except for FIFA time... But then again I get to watch all the rom coms on Netflix so it's really a win win lol) Grin xx

poppet85 · 17/08/2014 18:30

Mine does alllll the cooking and food shopping ( online and then checks with me !) , deals with the car & mows the lawn . Hes started to do more general cleaning does the kitchen at least once a week . I do all the laundry/hoovering/ gardening and clean bathroom/bedrooms/lounge I dont think it even registers with him they need cleaning!! He came home from work early and I was doing housework and was shockex up until then he thought faries do it

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2014 17:58

Perfect idea Ducky Grin

Ducky23 · 17/08/2014 17:42

Maybe if we put both our dh's at Lulu's she'd be too distracted to notice hers is missing Grin

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2014 17:41

Hahhahhaaaa Ducky!!!! Grin !!
Ull have to be quick! As I might do a quick swap too ! :p

My DH does nothing also.

Ducky23 · 17/08/2014 17:37

I wonder if lulu would notice if I snook in and swapped dh's Grin

iamdivergent · 17/08/2014 17:34

Mine does loads considering he works ft too. I'd say it's 50/50 housework and we always go do the food shop together and he always calls before he comes home to check we don't need anything. His downfall is the xbox but he doesn't go out so it doesn't bother me as I have an unhealthy sim 3 addiction so spend ages on the pc when the dds are in bed.

LOL!!!

DH does nothing.

LuluJakey1 · 17/08/2014 16:50

We have had friends here for Sunday lunch. DH did most of the cooking and tidying up. They are old friends of ours and she came in the kitchen while I was loading the dishwasher (dishwasher loading and DH are not a good combination) and commented on how much he does and asked if that is because I am pregnant that he is helping out more.

I said no, that is what he is usually like and she was amazed. Said her DH does hardly anything. I would say DH does more than half the housework, at least half of the cooking and seeing to the cats. He likes to do the shopping but I usually have to go shopping again a few days later because he comes back with what he wants rather than at we need. He uses the washer and irons badly but who cares

If I asked I can't think of anything he would not willingly do except keep books tidy and his side of the bedroom tidy and put his shoes away rather than taking them off in the hall or kitchen and leaving them, and stop piling up papers to shred and then not shredding them for months

She said her DH will occasionally hoover, never goes near the washer or iron or dishwasher. He cooks but 'chefy cooking' and she cleans up after him. Never tidies or cleans kitchen or bathroom. Will shop but is like my DH. Says he sees to the car and the garden and organises things that need doing to the house.

When baby comes he is being FF. DH has already said he wants to do alternate nights feeding.

How much does your DH do? What will he and won't he do?

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 16:46

Thanks Ducky.... I honestly believe that AF is just around the corner (as it always is) and DH and I would have lucked out this cycle... I'd love to be one of those women who 'just know' and not be soooo symptom spotting - it's soooooo hard not to be though - but truth be told... I fear I don't know my body as well as I thought I did.... Oh well... I'll have to wait and see I suppose lol xx

Ducky23 · 17/08/2014 16:18

Kirsty tbh before I got my BFP I had no symptoms! Someone on here will probably be more help but I just felt like AF was going to come!

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 15:49

I'm a little confused.... Some of the Symptoms I've been having for the past week and a half could be attributed to hormones and my body preparing for AF.... But how do you explain putting my flip flops in the freezer and forgetting how to turn our kitchen tap off when i had only just put it on and I put a plastic container full of left over pasta back in the oven instead of the fridge?!? My forehead feels itchy also.... Just laying in wait for AF but was just wondering if anyone heard alarm bells ringing too at silly things like this? I really want to believe I am but after months of disappointment I can't get my hopes up! Hmm

iamdivergent · 17/08/2014 13:20

It's a good movie, funny in parts. It's on Netflix if you have it Smile

when I was pg both times I couldn't have anything with milk in, no cereal or tea the whole time it just made me sick. I was so healthy though!

I haven't been able to eat anything today, except a bowl of cornflakes at 8 this morning.
I haven't seen what to expect... But I'd like to. I might download it this eve.
DP playing batman again Hmm

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 12:04

Ducky I'll wait to see if AF shows up and if she's not here by Friday I think I'll test then but doubt I'll be able to wait that long! (AF due weds) also I have no tests in the house so I'll have to wait until I can get some lol!

I'm hungry all the time too, have been for the last week.... Might just be AF on her way though... I'm always snacking! Lol Grin xx

Ducky23 · 17/08/2014 11:39

I just had an ice cream for breakfast!

Ha Grin

I can't wait either! Will be a great experience! Smile Hopefully it goes smoothly though, have heard some right horror stories about induction!

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2014 11:37

I love labour! Haha!!
Can't wait to do it again :)

My scan is on 28th. So not this Thursday but next Thursday.

Ducky23 · 17/08/2014 11:24

Hi Kirsty! Fingers crossed for your BFP! When will you be testing?

I would upload a pic but I have no idea how! I'm on the app so not sure if you can? But I am massive Blush I'm the size I was with dd at the end, possibly bigger Blush

What date is your scan cupcake?

Have we got any more scans coming up?

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 11:20

Ps I second more bump pictures! Smile

KirstyLeigh87 · 17/08/2014 11:12

I watched OBEM too and cannot wait until it's our turn to have a baby, I don't exactly know what I'm expecting pregnancy to be like although I'm wanting it to be completely amazing but I think I'll end up being like the woman who owns the baby store in what to expect when your expecting... Who else has seen that film? lol xxx Grin
