April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

Hope it goes well tomorrow Ducky. I am sure it will.

That is just the door from the sitting room to the conservatory- which as you can see is full of his toys including a stupid car DH bought which he is not big enough for but loves and it takes up loads of room.

DS likes to take everything out of the toy box and then put it all back- he can entertain himself for ages doing that.

Lulu your lounge is spotless compared to how mine is in the day ds likes everything out!

Took ds to the zoo today with a friend, he absolutely loved it. He was running around and squealing but then he had his worst fall to date I felt awful he ran and slipped backwards and his head thumped the floor he was upset for quite a long time. Poor thing.

got my 20 week scan tomorrow and I'm very nervous.

We are thinking if I get pregnant October/ November the baby would be born next summer and Ds would be about 2 1/2 or nearer 3. I would like him to have 2 summers to himself with lots of attention before he has to share us

This is the state of our house after Ds returned from Nursery.

DH has been on strike today, we had a lovely day together- lunch and a lng walk, peace and quiet. He said 'This is what our life used to be like all the time.'

It did. And then DS came home!

lulu bird bath water is a firm favourite here too! And dog bowl water! How much of a gap are you hoping for between ds1 and another baby?

Oh wow, 3 already cupcake! That's mad! And ds2 is already 8 months, it all seems to have gone so quick! It's good that exh pays like that. I can see me having troubles when it comes to that stuff. How many weeks are you now?

Yes, I am up for having DC2 but DH thinks 3 or 4 and I am so not having 3 or 4.

DS has eaten only weetabix and fruit today - refused everything else. Today's sobbing tantrum was because I would not let him drink the water from the bird bath.

It is good that your ex H pays without fuss for the boys- will he do the same for DC 3? Fancy DS1 being almost 3. It is more than 2 years since we all met on this thread- it was April I think of 2014.

I can't imagine managing 3 children that little Cupcake, and a cat and a dog - you must be a saint.

I hope your ex is going to pay up and do his bit. Does he pay for DS1 and 2? He should be supporting you.

DH says we are going to TTC as soon as his holidays start. I don't know why he thinks it is his decision. He says we'll never have number 3 if we don't get on with it. We aren't having 3!

DS had a wailing tantrum today because we wouldn't let him eat sand on the beach

Sorry to hear DH isn't behaving himself Ducky. I think they just have a default setting.

Stupid exh why on earth would you make it up?! It only takes once!

How old is ds2 now?

How exciting

I think my due date is something like 24th November, but they said they want baby out by 38 weeks at the latest. I think they have changed the rules by me for if you've had a previous stillbirth because before it was optional, this time they said they really don't want me going over 38 weeks. Im hoping it happens naturally as I really don't want another induction and couldn't be away from ds for that long.

Do you have to have another section now? Or do you have the option of vb if everything is ok?

Cupcake!!!! how do you feel about it all!? What does exh say? What kind of terms are you on now? Are you back together?

Lulu, glad you and h are on better terms now. I'm sure ds food thing is just a phase, my ds often does it. Although he's still teething, he's been quite bad with it the past few days. Poor bugger!

Sorry I have been awol, my phone broke it's still not right but just about working. Bloody annoyed me because I have only just brought it (2nd hand but still expensive).

I'm 19 weeks now, will be 20 on Thursday. Having a bit of anxiety creep back, still no movement, haven't seen midwife since 10 weeks and my consultant is off I have my 20 week scan Thursday so hoping for good news.

Unfortunately I have found that these past few weeks h has been reverting to exactly how he was before. I have tried talking to him on a daily basis but he never listens. We're now in separate rooms (I'm sharing with ds) and I am looking for somewhere else to live. H is refusing to accept it so I'm just letting him live in his fantasy world where everything is rosy.

Oh Cupcake! What a shock!
What are you going to do? Have you told him? Are you upset or pleased?

Yes, exams are over and DH is more relaxed. Winding down to the end of term. He is off on a field trip to the Roman Wall 2 days running next week- hope it isn't raining!

DS has been funny about food all week- has refused everything except bananas, strawberries, weetabix and cheese on toast. I have let him get on with it. He's as fit as a flea.

We are off on holiday to France in 3 weeks and I can't wait.

A jumper and books Ducky and some beer from me.

Ds has said No all day today. 'No', 'No Mama' 'No Daddy' 'No me' 'No' said with shaking of the head and beaming smiles to everything.

Sounds nice and relaxing lulu! What did dh get from ds?

Cupcake, it's been horrible by me! We didn't do much on Father's Day. But I brought ds some wellies the other day after he spotted some and fell in love with them. He had them on from the moment we got back and refused to take them off all day. We went to soft play and I usually have a hard time getting him to come out, this time I just had to hold his wellies up and he came running

I did Ducky - peace and quiet.

DH and SIL went down to see their folks for the weekend - FIL is not too well at the moment. They took DS. BIL and I stayed up here.
I spent the whole weekend alne- gardened, shopped, sat in my lovely quiet, tidy house and chilled. Bliss!

I made DH a nice meal to come back to. He took his presents from Ds and his card with him.

Ha mine too cupcake! Hope you had a nice meal!

Did you have a nice day lulu?

Oh no! Were they ok about it?

That's wicked news about the job!

Omg cupcake! What happened? Did you reverse into something? Hope the new ones kick in asap.
