April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

I have felt sad today- so many bad things happening to people. It is scary. DH has been worried about me. Not one of those moodies I had when I was pregnant; have just felt sad.

I have had bouts of depression since I was 18. I recognise the symptoms now and know when to see the Dr ad get some medication for a few months. Am keeping a eye on it. Could just be a bad day.

I have the stand wedged up a bit so it's tilted, will tht be enough do you think cupcake? Was ds sick in the night? It's so scary!

Lulu it's so lovely that you get on with your mil I would love that.

I've never seen ds smile so much! Dm keeps sending me pictures of him with massive smiles!!!

He sleeps right next to me in his Moses basket I'm just worried incase i don't wake up or I wake up too late I do have an angel care monitor but I have been told not to use them in Moses baskets, I don't know why.

Mil has been more awful than usual with me since ds is here!

Cupcake I have a pb cross, I have had him since he was a puppy (he was taken from his mother too early ) and I know he is as soft as anything but I also know they are very unpredictable no matter how well people think they know them. Je has been brought up around babies
and small children but under very VERY close supervision and proper training. He is kept in the kitchen with the door shut and baby gate locked and ds is never in any situation where thy can get to him even when supervised. It's awful that they let them around your ds if you are uncomfortable with it mine can sense people who are uncomfortable and that is the one thng that can make him act a bit loopy. (He hasn't been aggressive towards anyone but would focus all his attention on that person, causing them to be more uncomfortable )

Just seen your post Ducky. Glad he's had such a lovely day with DM! is he sleeping in the same room as you? If you hear him coughing maybe it'll wake you up and you can check on him? Or could you prop him so he's sleeping on his side in case he's sick? I don't know about putting babies to bed

Yes siarie, I'm having to try very hard not to fall out with MIL because our personalities clash terribly and I've already had one bust up with her! But I'd hate there to be a divide in the family, and it would cause so much stress if we fell out and put a lot of pressure on mine and DP's relationship. I'm very nervous about how she'll be when the baby arrives
DP was very nice though, we didn't have a row and he put the furniture back as soon as she'd gone! I think he's beginning to realise how badly she pushes my buttons!!
Ducky I remember you talking about your MIL before, she sounds like a witch!! How's she been with the duckling?
Cupcake your GIL sounds horrendous! That would make me so mad! dogs like that are really unpredictable, especially with young children. And as for telling you you have to do everything for DH, how dare she?! What century does she think it is?!!! Bloody in-laws eh?
How's duckling, Ducky? I hope he's getting better.

He had a lovely time with dm today, plenty of smiles!!!

He's still got a cough and apparently that can last for a few weeks

The thing I'm worried about is if he eats a little bit too much (he's on reduced feeds) it squashes his insides and he coughs more and is sick I'm so terrified he will be sick in the night and could choke

Hope you have had some sleep Ducky and that DS behaved himself with your mum. How is he today?

My MIL is lovely. She has been great with me right from the start. She treats me like someone she likes very much- chooses to spend time with me, discusses things with me, offers help but doesn't interfere, supports me. And on top of that loves me as her DIL and thinks DH being with me is very good for him. I know how lucky I am. She and FIL are eccentric in their own ways but I get on very well with both of them.

We are going down there for a couple of days this week and she has bought tickets to the theatre for me, SIL and her as a treat and we are having a meal at an Italian restaurant beforehand. DH and FIL are babysitting.

Ooohhh lil that would piss me right off

I can't stand my mil and avoid me and ds seeing her wherever possible! I don't want him around her! She's poisonous!

I don't think you are over reacting lil. It's up to you and your DP where things go in your own home. If it were me I would have spoken up while your MIL was there though, I know if you were posting in AIBU people would say your DP is the "issue" but men just don't tend to think about things in the way women do (in my experience anyway).

But also I would try and keep things amicable between you and MIL, because you never know how long people will be here.

Just realised how stupid that sounds. I've got a real problem with not being in control of where things go in the house, as well as tidiness and cleanliness. DP has just been up and thinks I'm overreacting. I hope he doesn't tell MIL!

I've got a feeling that I'll be the same when our little one is born. And I'm dreading MIL being interfering. She's come over today to see the new house and told us all the ways that we've laid out the furniture wrong in the living room and bedroom. She's the most opinionated and interfering woman I've ever met, and if course DP takes everything she says as gospel! They've just moved the furniture around in the living room without asking me what I thought, despite the fact that when we first moved in me and DP discussed at length where things should go and he knows I didn't want to sofa in the window which is where they've put it. I've had to pretend that I'm very tired and go to bed because I'm so angry! I know we'll end up rowing about it when she's gone and it makes me so mad because he knows how I feel about her interfering and how stressed out I get at the moment. I've had to take a diazepam which I really hate doing now I'm pregnant but I don't want the baby to feel my stress

I hope DS is getting better Ducky

It's strange cus I'm completely fine with my mom having him but no one else

Glad to hear it's not just me being weird cupcake!

Where do these strange posts come from!?!?

Tbh cupcake I prefer it that way!

I don't trust him with ds, I don't think he would sterilise and things properly and Everytime he has a fag it ends in an argument because I tell him to wash his hands before touching ds

They wanted him in for observations incase they had to put the tube in to feed him I went up at midnight and got back at 3am then he wouldn't settle and was just screaming so I had to get up and the only thing that would settle him was skin to skin so I did that then he just had another feed and threw tht up because he was coughing so I haven't slept at all and barely slept the past two nights in hospital.

H is going to mil today. I said we wouldn't go so dm will take ds for a bit today
