April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

Am 37+3 now lulu gone so fast! Ds still set on his duck then haha. Do you still see the old lady you used to see? If that makes any sense!

Cupcake, I hope you get something sorted very soon. They must be able to offer you something else. I don't know much about the effects of ad's during pregnancy at all but I'm sure I've seen threads on here of people on them. Hope your feeling a bit better today

I get what your GP is saying Cupcake but at your stage of pregnancy the increased risk of any effects on the baby are less than 1% so if you really needed them you could have them. I am very prone to depression and walking really helps me keep it at bay and feel positive. I walk DS miles in his buggy along the seafront- sometimes 5-8 miles a day. Just the fresh air and the being out and doing something physical makes a big difference. Easier said than done with two small children I imagine (although I'll be finding out)
We told PIL today. They came up for the day. They were over the moon. Honestly, you would have thought DH had performed some amazing feat! He was hugged and kissed and MIL actually said 'Well done!'
I was hugged too but he is just Goldenballs as far as they are concerned.

They asked Ds if he wants a brother or a sister and he said it again 'I want a duck'.
We took them to see the house we are buying - just the outside- and they thought it was lovely.

Ducky, I hadn't realsed you were so near the birth. What a few weeks you're having! Hope it all starts soon and is quick and painless

How are you doing Cupcake?

DS woke us up this morning by shouting 'Is wake up time'. When DH went in he was standing in his cot with his hands in the air shouting 'Hurrah Daddy'.

It's a lovely lovely house. Very small but absolutely perfect to get me on my feet.

There was one other person viewing it.

I have got the forms to send off first thing Monday and hope to hear back by mid week.

Fingers tightly crossed!!

It felt so cosy and safe. Sounds silly but it did, it had a very relaxing atmosphere.

It stopped again! I was reading about it online and apparently this part can go on for hours... days... or even weeks!

Going to view this house today.. keep your fingers crossed for me!

Starting to get pains again now but I don't trust them!

I hope ds is ok cupcake! How does ds2 get on with stbxh? Will he be there for the birth of ds3?

Haha oh no lulu a duck?!
Not long for the move then! Are you excited?

So I thought I went into labor tonight. Regular contractions, was timing them, lasted 2 hours. Got all my hospital bags ready, contacted the midwife, then all of a sudden they slowed, then stopped false alarm.... a long one! Induction Thursday if nothing before then.

We told SIL and BIL tonight about me being pregnant.They were lovely. If they are having trouble conceivng it didn't show in their reaction. We will tell PIL on Saturday.

Looks like moving date should be 3 weeks tomorrow if everything goes well. I actually did some packng this afternoon. I packed two boxes n the spare room - of my shoes and bags. Sealed up and labelled.It's a start. DS was having a sleep.

We asked him tonight if he would like a baby brother or sister and he shook his head and said 'No, I like a duck.'

Hope you sorted your mug situation cupcake! Tea is very important!

I'm struggling at the moment, ds has most definitely reached the terrible twos. He constantly throws awful tantrums if things don't go his way and I don't really know how to deal with it.

I'm wound up because stbxh is playing dad of the year on social media, I don't know what he's told people but he only sees him 1 to 2 hours 3 days a week, and then he doesn't do much with him. He doesn't have to deal with the epic tantrums and things.

And my solicitor has done absolutely nothing so far despite me paying the start of last week for her to do a few things.

I know! Have had lower back pain on and off all day, so not sure if things are starting or not. I know she's back to back at the moment, and so was ds and the pain I got is like when I went into labor with ds.

Am viewing the house on Friday, just hope I get it, although this late it's unlikely that I will get it to go to after I have dd, there will probably be a delay.

Bet they will be over the moon lulu! Are you working again now for your friend?

Cupcake that is awful! Surely there's something you can take! Will this other dr give a second opinion? Or maybe speak to your midwife? I know when I was pregnant with ds I was offered a specialist mental health midwife if I wanted one.

Had my last scan today. All went well was meant to be viewing a house but the estate agents have had to rearrange.

He is showing his true colours now Ducky. You are well rid. Let him see a solicitor- he will find himself paying support.

No moving date - hopefully in the next 4 weeks if it all goes well.

I am almost 15 weeks. Not really showing when I am dressed. Have had two scans. Both fine. No sickness but I have been very tired. It has worn off a bit but not completely.

We have still not told anyone. PIL are coming up for the day on Saturday and we are going to tell them then.

Does your brother work - if he does that might help you get a place.

Oh wow how exciting lulu!! Do you have a moving date? How many weeks are you now?

Yes I'm still looking with my brother, although I would prefer to be on my own, it's cheaper with someone else.

I don't know if I mentioned, I found out h hAd been messaging other girls. I confronted him as he had been trying to make me feel awful about what happened and he obviously didn't care! He said he was lonely, then he got nasty talking about solicitors

Hello Ducky. I am fine. Have just been really busy. We are moving house and it has all happened very unexpectedly and quickly. We are just moving to the other side of the park into a bigger house. I was passing with DS and the sign was going up. Went straght to estate agent and we saw it that night, put an offer in, they accepted it and we were about to put ours on the market and Sil and Bil offered us the asking price . They have sold theirs to a first time buyer. The people we are buying from are going to Aberdeen to live and are not buying yet so no chain at our end. Surveys have been done so it should be in the next 4 weeks
It has just happened, we were not even thinking of moving but we have always liked these houses. It has everything I want in a house (a normal house anyway, not thinking of country house type houses).
DS will love it- big back garden and a decent front garden that opens into the park. There is no road, so cats will love it - just a track that leads to the 6 houses.
Not packing yet- if it fell through we would extend ours. Whatever we do, it means us having a mortgage again but not a big one.

You two sound like you are both having tough times but I am glad you left DH- you will be better off emotionally but hope you get sorted with somewhere to live. Is your brother still looking with you?
Cupcake, ask for an appointment as a priority with your GP. You can take lots of anti-depressants when you are pregnant. Don't just suffer it. It is an illness like any other and there is medication to help you.

Yes speak to your GP, I hope they can sort something for you.

Have you booked it yet? Need to get ds some new wellies and hat and scarf, it says it's very cold! Can't beleive I'll have dd then too!

Have you spoke to your midwife cupcake? Or your GP? Maybe there's something safe you can take to help you? I can't imagine how hard it is looking after 2 alone whilst being pregnant.

I'm pretty angry... went h earlier to pick some stuff up. He wasn't in but had left his phone.... I looked through it. There were so many messages, I read the first two (I know I'm awful). One was to a girl we know, it was sent very shortly after I left him telling her how sexy he thinks she is. The other one I read he was messaging his mate having a laugh that he's now single and how he has the house because he knows I can't afford it. This whole time he has been laughing behind my back.

Did you go to winter wonderland at the snow dome the other year cupcake? Have booked it for ds birthday

Hope everything is going ok lulu.
