April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

Oooh the voucher sounds good! use it wiseley!!! When is your gender scan again cupcake? Ds has been on the absenol today too! He has four teeth coming through just right about to break through.

Let me know if it works, the poor thing. Was the only thing that did with ds, and if I remember you can re apply after 20 mins.... but check that!

I'm just desperate for this house now, I'll be so so gutted if I don't get one soon. I can't take it much longer and my anxiety is back with a vengeance :-( I still feel bad for him but I just can't go on like it.

Oooohhh happy birthday cupcake!!! You doing anything nice? Had any nice presents? It's my birthday Sunday too!

Hi, I'm so sorry to jump I your thread but I was really bored and started looking at the active threads and had a little flick through. I noticed that lulu must come from my neck of the woods as you mentioned RVI in Newcastle, and that you are having next baby at new hospital - which I'm assuming is cramlington (NSEC)?

I just wanted to let you know that I had DD2 there in May and the consultants and midwives were all brilliant. Own room felt like a luxury, although be aware the "bed" for DH is actually just a very uncomfy reclining chair!!

I had DD1 in RVI and was due to have DD2 there as well but I changed to Cramlington when I was 36 weeks (very late in the day I know but it was to do with after care).

Cramlington in far superior to RVI in my opinion, having experienced both.

Best of luck, and congratulations!

Definitely try it cupcake, ds was really bad and it's the only thing that works at all on him.

Things are still rubbish. H is still oblivious.

They're still waiting for the keys back but it is due any time now, the owner went to look it over today apparently.

I looked on h's phone praying to find evidence of an affair or something but all there was were messages to his friend showing off about how much he'd drank within a few mins of me dropping him off. He's also told them he's going to 'persuade' me to let him have a party at the end of October, and I will 'send ds to her moms for the night'. Baring in. Mind it will be less than 2 weeks to my induction. We're also struggling for money and he spend at least. £50 on his little outing the other week, at the very least

That's great news about ds1 enjoying himself, but poor ds2 have you tried absenol? (I think that's it!).

Oooh fingers crossed you get your vbac this time!!

Is your house far from the sea lulu? Sounds lovely

Yep he went out, I text him once I think but he didn't reply. From what has been put on Facebook by other people he was only with two other people and one left half way through. He got back around 5pm the next day.

I didn't sleep in the bed lulu as he never changes the sheets and I won't be doing it for him!

I had physio today and have been in so much pain they suggested crutches and a support thing, they said they don't offer the proper belts anymore I think I'll have to buy one as its been so bad today.

Sorry if this posts multiple times, my phone keeps freezing

I am lying in the sofa with my feet up. Am just exhausted. I took DS to the beach this afternoon and pushing him home just wore me out. DH has gone out for a run along the sea front. I might have a bath and go to bed.

Ducky- did you mean your DH went out drinking for nearly 24 hours and would not tell you where he was going? I hope you took the opportunity to sleep in the bed.

I don't have a clue how I used to stay up past 10 lulu! Ha. Yep, h is completely oblivious. He's gone out tonight drinking and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. Every time I ask who he's with he changes the subject.

I have had a take away

Yes, we want to know the sex. It is an early Scan- I think I will be about 8-9 weeks.
I can't believe your DH Ducky. He must be oblivious to it all! You must be exhausted not getting enough rest.
Hope you have a lovely holiday Cupcake - whete are you off to?
I am in bed already. DH is just locking up and feeding the cats then he's coming up. We are both tired. When I think just three years ago we went out every Friday night until late and came back and went a bit mad in bed, had a lie in on Saturday morning and then just had a nice lazy day. We are like two old people now

Oooh where you off to cupcake?

Dd2 could have the sans birthday as your brother then! But I'm hoping she comes at 37 weeks I'll be scoffing pineapple and on my birthing ball hoping to get things moving!

That's wicked news about the maternity pay!!! You looking forward to starting?

Id go for a toddler bed at the moment! I miss a real bed so so much! I just can't wait to have my own place without his mess and smells, that seems like a dream at the moment. I'm a bit worried about ds though, he doesn't like change to his routine and also he's used to having me in his room, I don't know how hell react to having me in a different room.

Still no news on the house tho

Will you be finding out the sex this fine lulu? Or a surprise? How many weeks were you when your waters went with ds?

I have been sleeping on the floor for a long long time now, then we split up, then when we were trying to 'work things out' I spent a few weeks on the floor and then moved into the bedroom for a week or so, then I got pregnant and things started to get bad again. When I was about 6 weeks I moved back into ds room with a blow up camping bed thing. It's not comfortable, is noisy when I move and is getting increasingly difficult to get myself up! But I just can't bring myself to share a bed with him.

He still thinks everything is rosy, and I will be moving back into the bedroom soon. It messes with my head so much! Surely there's something wrong with him it he thinks things are fine when I think it's this bad

No. I had a couple of weeks of feeling sick with DS and then it stopped. I am just tired, not sick.

Why are you sleeping on a floor Ducky? If you don't want to sleep with DH could you not get a single bed at least or a mattress or sleep on the sofa. The floor must be really uncomfortable and can't be good for you. Does DH let you sleep on a floor? You are definitely making the right decision.

The 10th November isn't far off at all! That has gone very quickly.

Were you very sick with ds lulu? I can't remember.

Cupcake what is the difference between nursery and pre school? This stuff really confuses me! I really need to find out more about it all. How is the job going?

I haven't moved out yet, the estate agents are still waiting for all the keys to the new properties coming up. Have got a few more to try though so fingers crossed.

I feel awful still, h has actually been quite nice to me recently, although he's slipped straight back into doing nothing in the house. But no way I can stay. I'm not happy here and can't stay miserable just for his happiness! And also I can't wait to sleep in a bed!!! I have been sleeping on ds floor since becoming pregnant and it's starting to get v difficult.

I have been given an induction date for 10th Nov when I'll be 38 weeks but am hoping to evict her as soon as I get to 37

When does Ds1 start pre-school Cupcake? Is he excited?

Well I have been to see GP and I have to have Consultant Led Care again. But this time it will be at the new district hospital where the facilities are all lovely apparently- everyone has their own room and it has a bed for DH too.

Anyway, I am having a scan in 2 weeks and seeing the consultant- who might only see me twice the GP said.

DS came with me to the appt and he was very good.

I don't mind if it is a boy or a girl nor does DH- hopefully just a healthy baby will be lovely.

Hope you are right
DH is tired but fine- start of term is always hectic. He is excited about all the new stuff he is doing though.
I am just tired Cupcake.SIL took DS out this afternoon from nursery this morning and I had a lie down and slept for 2 hours. It was bliss.
DHnhas been on the internet again, he tells me our baby is the size of a small pea. It has been named Peapod
