I love the thought of your DS runnng round shouting babieeeeeee. Grin

LuluJakey1 · 30/05/2016 18:43

His work is stressful Ducky but lots of people do his job without going on like he does at the minute. I did it and I didn't behave like him. It is bringing out the side of DH I like least.

Once DH feels badly done to and his ego is damaged he gets really selfish. The job is really testing him and he is scared he isn't good at it and he feels under too much pressure. In his head he won't be able to stand anyone thinking he isn't good at it. That is why we are having all of this selfishness- it is a kind of egotistical fear.

He wanted me and DS to go with him but I just wanted a quiet weekend at home. Me and DS took the camper van up to the country park and have been there hours. We walked round the big lake, fed the ducks and geese, played on the beach, had a picnic in the camper and then walked around the back of the dunes on the track through the reed beds and the fields. The sun was out. It was really quiet and we had a lovely time.

He is ready for bed now but not looking sleepy! Tomorrow I am taking him on a boat trip to the Farne Islands to see the birds and seals. It will take us all day and we'll take the camper.

Is it all the exam stress still lulu? still, he shouldn't be taking it out on you and ds, and should want to spend his time off with you two!

I'm excited but nervous, it seems there's so many similarities between this pregnancy and with dd. Ds doesn't really understand at the moment but he does keep running around squealing 'babieeeeeee'. Which is a bit Confused as I have been trying to keep it quiet!

LuluJakey1 · 29/05/2016 21:13

Hi Ducky. Yes he has rang and messages when I haven't answered. I have replied by text. Just a bit sick of him really.

I haven't been working, I wanted to make things as easy as possible at home while it is exam season- knowing he would be under pressure. That's why I am annoyed he has gone to Yorkshire. He'll be at work the rest of the week so half term will have gone. He has whinged on about everything being so hard and DS could not be an easier baby. Honestly, me and DS have a lovely stress free time without him.

Anyway, never mind him. You are almost 4 months! That has gone so quickly! Before you know it, you'll have a new baby! Are you excited? Have you told DS yet?

duckyisback · 29/05/2016 20:28

I thought everyone had left!

Sorry dh is giving you a tough time at the moment lulu, have you heard off him since he went? Hope he snaps out of it asap!

How's work going lulu? Is ds1 keeping up the good sleeping?

I'm still waiting to feel movement! Am starting to get a bump already though and am back in maternity clothes! 14+4 now. Have a private gender scan coming up soon to confirm if my last scan was right.

i had a miscarriage 2 years ago, and only now i get a chance to become pregnant again but i think im having again a mc. my last day of period was april 19 and on may 22 i had a pregnancy test and its positive, i make 2 test though the line is faint but still visible. i made a test again 23 and same faint line.by those days i feel cramping and lower abdominal pain. on 28 in the morning i feel dizzy and got spotting. light brown. and in evening it became red. this morning its not a spotting anymore. its bleeding already. just like light period. and having serious cramps and lower abdominal pain. i went to doctor and go for ultrasound. she found a sack round forming but cannot determine if there is baby. because its still early to see. they make blood test and my hcg level is 24.something. and bleeding still continues and become more heavy. after 2 days i need to to blood test again and if hcg level becomes low then it is miscarriage. but if its become high maybe its ectopic.
but im still hoping as there are forums here i read which they also got heavy bleeding but still delivered normal..

may God help me coz i have been waiting for so long for a baby to come.

LuluJakey1 · 29/05/2016 11:16

Your puppy looks lovely Cupcake. What have you called her? How has Ziggy taken to her?

I am ok. I am fed up with DH and his self-obsession. It feels like everything is about things being as easy for him as possible at the moment- what he wants to do and what he doesn't, what he complains makes his life hard, what he would prefer to happen.

He wanted to go to see his parents this weekend in Yorkshire so I told him to go but me and DS were staying here. Resulted in row but I did not go. He won't be back until Tuesday. (Hurrah!)

Am having a nice time with DS. Life is much nicer when it is just us. We went for a lovely walk yesterday on the beach and he found another little boy to be friends with and I chatted to his dad- it was nice to have someone not grumpy to talk to.

Today we are going up to the country park, duck feeding and for a walk.

Hope you are ok.

Cupcake92 · 25/05/2016 22:48

That's great news ducky!! :)
And don't worry about the placenta n just go see ur midwife any time ur worried :)

She's really good atm!! And the boys love her! Ds1 has been constantly playing with her and he's been that tired he's slept through the night and not woken up at all!

OP posts:
duckyisback · 19/05/2016 19:32

Omg so cute!!! Grin is she well behaved? Do the boys play nice with her?

Went for my scan, they put me forward to 13 weeks. They think it's a girl but couldn't be too sure at the moment, they said I have an anterior placenta again which has worried me as that's what I had with dd and I get so anxious about movements. They said she came from my right ovary. Grin

Cupcake92 · 19/05/2016 13:39

Picture attached Grin

Good luck ducky! Sure all will be fine :) let us know how it goes Flowers

I was in the kitchen this afternoon and I heard DS giggling. I turned round to find him putting his face in the cats' water bowl . It is a big pottery bowl- to stop them shoving it round the floor- and he was soaked. He must have drank some of it. Hmm Didn't like having his faced washed!

He has been playing with his little football with DH in the garden.

Cupcake92 · 13/05/2016 09:29

It went okay thanks ducky. Just feel like the new person again lol

I got my belt through physio
:)

duckyisback · 12/05/2016 21:30

How did it go back at work cupcake?

With your support belt with ds2, did you get it via physio? Or did you have to buy it? It's confusing me so much!

Cupcake92 · 12/05/2016 19:43

Done 2 days of work.

I'm exhausted Grin
Who knew having 2 kids and working would be so tiring lol!!!

That's great news cupcake! I was starting to worry! Good luck tomorrow, try and enjoy it (if you can!)

I was so surprised lulu, I was expecting him to be a bit hesitant/worried but he dived right on in and had an ace time!

LuluJakey1 · 10/05/2016 20:41

That is good news Cupcake, I was worried about you.

I hope work goes well in the morning.

DS loves swimming too Ducky. He just loves the water. He goes with DH and they have a great time. They go to the cafe afterwards and have a snack!

Cupcake92 · 10/05/2016 20:07

Hello! Sorry it's so hetic here atm, I went to exh's grandads funeral on Monday. He cried. I've never seen him like that so I just comforted him then took the boys to the wake afterwards. We talked so much, and I actually think he may slowly be growing up a bit!

Thankfully the doctors have said everything was normal!!! But my pill (cerezette) was causing my irregular bleeding so advised me to come off it and see if my bleeding normalises. And if it does then to choose a different contraception.

Ur poor dh lulu, he works very hard doesn't he.
Aw! Lucky ur ds wasn't stung! Grin my ds runs away from them lol!!

That's good ds liked swimming ducky! :) it's nice to go swimming.

I just can't believe how busy I've been. Now I'm starting work in the morning! Shock

Cupcakkkeee?

duckyisback · 10/05/2016 12:15

Quite a long time then for dh. Is he having to work long hours? Shock at the bee not stinging, that's lucky!

Any news cupcake?

I finally got round to taking ds swimming today. He absolutely loved it. Had a bit of a strop coming out though. I paid for my ticket to the car park and found someone had parked so close I had to get ds in the other side and climb over! Then found out the barriers were broke so I didn't need to pay for my ticket anyway! Am hoping we can go for free next week as they charged me for ds when they shouldn't have.

LuluJakey1 · 09/05/2016 21:41

Any news Cupcake? Was thinking about you today and hoping you have been ok.

Mid-June Ducky. I will be relieved. Poor DH is having a tough time at the moment.

DS picked up a bee today! Amazingly it didn't sting him- it was exhausted I think. We gave it some sugar water and it had a little rest and flew off.

duckyisback · 09/05/2016 19:31

Hope everything went ok today cupcake CakeWine have been thinking of you.
And hope your rent is sorted too!

That sounds handy with your job lulu. When will this exam time be over? Bet you can't wait!
