April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

Started getting painful contractions so started getting excited, they're slowing down again now

Hiii

Feeling a bit fed up had a pessary and started contrActing, then everything stopped, on the monitors after a few hours it all started up again so they said I could go to labor ward to have my waters broke. Waited hours because apparently there was no room but there's been a shift change now and these are saying I can't go down yet so have had another pessary and have to wait til 9amish to be examined again.

I'm sore, having on off painful contractions and missing ds so generally fed up!

Thank you

Can't sleep at the moment as I'm a bit nervous. I have never been away from ds for that long before. He will come with dm to drop me outside the hospital tomorrow and will leave as he gets upset seeing me in there and leaving

Glad you have your counselling appointment cupcake, shame you have had to wait until then for it.

Lulu, I'm sure my ds would rather have a biscuit too bet he will love his new brother or sister!

So that's a duck, beer and a biscuit but not a baby.

We asked DS tonight again if he would like a baby and he said 'No, biscuit pease'.

Good luck tomorrow Ducky. Hope it goes well - fast and pain-free. Keep us posted if you can.

It's lovely lulu, although I'm a bit worried about it all being carpeted, apart from the kitchen and bathroom. Ds can be so mucky! It's all on one level too so safe for the dc to play.

Haha ds wanting beer already has he met any babies at all? I'm a bit worried about my ds being rough with dd2 he thinks he is helping though.

I'm going in Thursday to be induced they don't let me get to 40 weeks as they don't know for sure what went wrong with dd1 so they do it as a precaution. Was hoping I'd go naturally this time.... still a day to go I suppose!

Cupcake when is your counselling? Have you had any before? Really hope it gets you feeling better again.

Should hear tomorrow if I can pick up the keys tomorrow afternoon or if dm will get them Thursday

He then said something unintelligible and got really upset when we couldn't understand. He goes from a few clear words to trying really hard and saying nothing clearly.

Then he escaped the nappy change and ran round naked for about 10 minutes until he got cold.

Eventually he did go to bed and fell asleep.

DS tonight 'Not go to bed' shaking his head viorously
DH 'Why do you not want to go to bed ? Do you want some milk?'
DS 'Me want beer'

Can I just say he has never had even a sip!
DH couldn't stop laughing. DS was very pleased with himself.

That is great news Ducky- your own house! Hurrah! A new start! What is it like?

Are you having a cesaerian?

Have you spoke to the midwife cupcake?

I hadn't heard about the erection lulu!! I wonder where his penis went

Had the most amazing news. I got the house hopefully getting the keys Thursday. Dm will take ds with her while I'm in hospital and get them and start moving things.

Will be on my own there most the time but I could do with a break! ds gets upset seeing me in hospital so will have try and avoid him being there too much.

Hope the house application goes well Ducky. If that goes well and the divorce papers go off to the solicitor, you will be well on the way to being settled.

That is such good news about your dog Cupcake. You must have been so relieved.
Depression is a chemical thing. It can strike anyone. If it happens at a time when things are tough it makes things even more hard to deal with. I would ask for medication and tell them exactly how tough things are and how much you are on your own. It is hard having a baby with a DH around . They change your life and it can feel very lonely. DS keeps me busy but whole days go past where I only speak to an adult when DH gets home. If he wasn't so nice and caring about me, and was selfish all the time (rather than occasionally ) I could feel invisible. I am a servant to DS- everything revolves around him. Being pregnant again is tiring. I sleep when DS has his nap. You must be exhausted .
DS has been in bed since 7 so we have had a quiet night. DH was so fed up after his day in the garage. But he had a bath and enjoyed his tea and cheered up. He is reading about Tutankhamun as I am writing this. Apparently he was mummified with an erection. Why would anyone do that? Now his penis has disappeared.

Hope dh managed to get enough stuff done

Cupcake I really hope your midwife can help. It's awful you have been left feeling like that. Can stbxh have both the ds for a day to give you a break?

Pains have been on and off midwife said it's normal and just he cervix getting ready. Ideally I need dd to hang on until Thursday because hopefully I should have at least a moving date then if all goes to plan.

Have received draft letters from my solicitor for the divorce. I need to approve them to be sent tomorrow. Scary stuff.

Depression is awful Cupcake I would not wish it on anyone.

How is your dog? What did her test results show? I hope it wasn't cancer.

Yes Ducky, we do see her. She is amazng really. She is almost completely independent. DH takes her shopping for big stuff but she likes to potter round the supermarket herself and talks to all the staff. He calls in for a cup of tea with her. She came for her tea the other weekend.

He is sorting the garage out today. We have a small skip that lots of rubbish is going in. He is not a happy man. It's cold up here and wet and he's got the doors open into the garden. He's got a coat, woolly hat and gloves on.And there are spiders. DS was 'helping' but has had to come in because he's a hindrance more than anything. He and I are going to have a walk round to see SIL to get him out of the way, then I am going to cook a nice Sunday dinner for later.

Hope you get the house and that this week goes well. By next Sunday you'll be a new mum again!
