Thanks everyone, I was do relieved!
Swimming sounds good Bears! I think DS would enjoy it because he loves having a bath. I don't know how to take a baby swimming though! Do they have some kind of buoyancy aid attached to them?
Cupcake that's rubbish about the physio appt! Would it be worth paying to go to a private one?! My SPD definitely got better when I started sitting on a birthing ball instead of the sofa - have you got one?
DS was very fussy and hungry all day yesterday. I think he might have been a but poorly because he's got a little cough and a bit if a snotty nose poor thing. But maybe because he wore himself out being so cross yesterday, last night he slept from 11pm until 5am!!! Smile
I won't get too excited because I expect it's a one off, but it was great to get that big chunk of sleep for once!

Ducky23 · 09/06/2015 19:10

Oh no cupcake, hosp appts take ages Hmm hopefully it will be worth it though!

Well ds now sleeps from 7/8 until 4/5am when he has a feed then sleeps until 7ish, this morning I slept in until 7.45! I woke up and ds was just talking to himself in his cot. I don't remember the last time I slept in until after 7am!

I got them quite early with ds cupcake, can't remember how early because I didn't really know what they were! I definitely had them at 24ish weeks.

Called my doctors to chase up my physio and they said it went through the afternoon of the day I had my appointment, but because it's hospital based could take up to 4 weeks!! :O how is that supposed to be an urgent referral? I'll be 22 weeks then, I was almost 18 weeks when I went to be referred!
They are so slow sorting things out :/ and I'm in pain everyday which doesn't help.

On a brighter note :) DS and I slept in today! He woke at 4am as he had a bit of a nightmare then fell asleep in my bed and we didn't get up till about 9:30am!! It's been a very long time since I got up that late Grin

How early did everyone notice they were getting braxton hicks?

Cupcake92 · 09/06/2015 10:37

Waiting to see if it comes in post today if not I'll call up :) I'm at home all day so I will remember to do it Grin

Ducky23 · 09/06/2015 08:40

I bet my ds would love swimming too, he loves the water! I need to take him soon. Grin

Did you chase up your physio appt cupcake?

Cupcake92 · 08/06/2015 22:21

Oo that's good Lill! Glad u got em back! :)
I was the same I can't rele remember much of DS 's birth I was too drugged up!

Bears glad DS loved swimming! I've took DS since he was about 12 weeks old and he loves the water. It's good exercise for us moms too!

I'm so tired tonight ! In bed with a chocolate muffin now! Haha!! :D hope everyone is okay!

Bearsinmotion · 08/06/2015 21:57

So pleased you have the photos back lil!

We took DSL swimming for the first time today! He seemed go like it - we took DD from a similar age and she's always been very confident in the water. He slept for 3 solid hours after Grin.

Ducky23 · 08/06/2015 20:48

The pics are on DP's laptop! Phew! I've emailed them to myself as well now and I'll have them all printed when I can afford it.
Really hope your physio appt is soon cupcake!

Ducky23 · 08/06/2015 08:03

Like the others said lil, I'm sure their on your sisters comp (you have to put them on the comp before you upload them anywhere don't you?) if not, they will be on the file sharing site, you just might have to pay a fee to rejoin.

Sounds like you had a nice time cupcake Smile I bet ds really enjoyed it and it sounds like he's loving his new bed! Hope you sort your physio appt out!

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 08/06/2015 07:54

Glad the party went wel Ducky! :) sounds like it was lots of fun!

Don't worry Lill ull get the photos back as Lulu said I'm sure they will still be on the share thing but u may have to pay.
And DS look so adorable on that photo Lill!

Lulu oh dear at ur DH getting a hangover! I've not had one of them in years! Forgot what they feel like but I'm sure 1st trimester was a lot like a hangover Grin

I'm back off my holiday and I'm exhausted!!!
I have work today as well :( I need to leave in about 40 minutes and DS is STILL asleep in bed! The weekend purely worn him out!
His breakfast and milk is sat here waiting for him but I think he may have to take it with him Grin
Whitby was okay, just wasn't impressed at the price of fish and chips!! Stupidly expensive it was! Shock my mom and everyone went on a boat ride, me and DS watched. I'm terrified of boats so I never went on haha. It was a rele nice weekend. So much walking tho, so my pelvis is very achy and stiff now! Need to call doctors to see where my physio appt is!

Lillamyy1 · 07/06/2015 19:53

I'll have to wait until DP gets home so he can check. He's working until 9 tonight.
Glad the party went well Ducky Smile
Poor DS has been very cross with his sore tummy this evening, poor little chap. I've put him over my knee which has calmed him down a lot.

LuluJakey1 · 07/06/2015 15:57

I bet they are still in the online thing Lill. You might have to pay but I bet they are still there. If his sister saved them on her computer they will still be there as well- might take a techie to retrieve them if she deleted them but they will still be there.

It is not even as if DH gets properly drunk or drinks anything. 99% of men probably wouldn't know they had had three drinks. And it never does any more than makes him soppy and ready to sleep. It is that he knows he feels crap the next day and we have to put up with it- that 'we' is me and DS. And like most. men, if he feels a bit off he is 'ill'. He is trying to tonvince himself- and me - it could be the start of 'summer flu' (hmm) wimp

Lillamyy1 · 07/06/2015 14:08

Lulu I don't like it when DP gets drunk either. If he complains of feeling rubbish I tell him it's his own fault!
V annoying about the builders!

Lillamyy1 · 07/06/2015 14:06

They were on DP's camera but the memory card belonged to his sister's friend - so he gave the memory card to his sister who uploaded them onto some file share online thing then deleted them from the card an have it back to her friend. Now the file share thing has expired?? I don't understand exactly what that was Confused
His sister says she thinks she's got them on her computer but isn't at home to check right now. I'm really worried Sad

LuluJakey1 · 07/06/2015 13:55

Oh no Lil! How has he lost them?

Sounds like the party was a good one Ducky.

The bloody man next door is doing DIY and hammering on and drilling.mI am going to take DS for a walk.

DH has a hangover- he had 3 cans last night. I really don't know why he bothers. We had the usual palaver of him feeling all silly and sexy (singing a daft song called 'Cowboy Dreams' and getting soppy) and then falling asleep as soon as he got into bed. He woke with a headache and is grumpy. He has books to mark and wants to go to sleep. The noise next door is driving him mad. He has never been able to drink anything! Why doesn't he learn???? Grrr!

Ducky23 · 07/06/2015 12:38

Oh no lil Hmm where we're they? Printed photos/phone/camera etc?

OP posts:
Lillamyy1 · 07/06/2015 12:20

I've just found out DP has lost the photos he took when DS had just been born Sad I can't even remember his birth properly, and I can't remember seeing him for the first time because I was so drugged up - those photos were all I had Sad

Ducky23 · 07/06/2015 11:41

Because of ds lulu, he doesn't like loud noise and crowds.

I bet x mas is expensive lil Shock 6!!

It went great last night. I stayed for an hour and a half but it went on til 2 am! Dm had a great time Smile

Sounds like everyone's having a nice wkend / holidays! We can't afford a proper holiday this year but in September we're going to stay in a big self-catering farmhouse in the Peak District with quite a few friends, just for a weekend.
We had a bit of a family gathering yesterday at my niece's house. She had a baby girl a couple of weeks before DS was born an this was the first time I've made it over to see her. My DM and DSis were there and DSis's other kids - she's got six, between the ages of 2 to 25 Shock Xmas is very expensive

LuluJakey1 · 06/06/2015 18:40

Why aren't you staying for your mum's party Ducky? I hope it goes really well.

DH is having his friend round to watch the match. He's got beer and crisps! I have offered to make BLTs for them. I will be in the other room reading or watching tv on my ipad or mnetting. DS will be with me and then n bed. He is tired tonight. Just going to bath him.

Ducky23 · 06/06/2015 17:30

Hope you have a nice time cupcake! Grin

ANd sounds like you had a nice day lulu!

Hopefully that will mean you will get better sleep tonight tori! Fingers crossed!

Ds just had fish and mushy peas for dinner.

I'm off to go get ready! I will go help with decorating/setting up, dm will get there at 8 and I will leave slightly after. Gutted I won't be able to stay longer to see the party I have been planning for months!

LuluJakey1 · 06/06/2015 16:02

We had lunch at the italien restaurant we went to a few weeks ago. DS had some baby rice and then a plate with sliced green beans and some sliced ripe avocado. He loved it. Had some of DH's mashed potato too then some mushed up strawberries.

LuluJakey1 · 06/06/2015 15:56

We are back- walked both ways. All 3 of us are having a lie down. DH and DS are in our room on the bed and I am downstairs on the sofa with the cats. Grin

Have a lovely time in Whitby Cupcake. I like Whitby- great fish and chips but banky! SandsEnd is nce too- have an 'auntie' lives there. They have a farm.
Nice cafes there.
