Oh my god cupcake, sorry to hear that. Had he been poorly? Hope exh is as OK as can be. How lovely of him to leave the ds' something though.

I'm so exhausted today.

Ds is on his first night with a quilt and his pillow out of his sheets. He looks so comfy!

Hello!

Glad ds is feeling better ducky Flowers

ExH's grandad passed away over the weekend :( he called round and was pretty upset. Ds1 doesn't rele understand it. ExH and both dc's are in his will. He was a very very wealthy man. And there is quite a fair bit of money in the will.
ExH said he went to the hospital and watched him pass. It just sounds so awful and sad :(

I'm so so so tired tonight Grin

Go ds1 with toilet training! That's really good! Did you manage to book a Drs appointment?

I might try ds with a quilt lulu but I worry about him turning upside down which he does most nights!

Ds is almost better now. Phew! They gave me a numbing spray for his throat that worked really well. He's still a bit under the weather but no where near what he was like.

LuluJakey1 · 17/04/2016 08:35

Yes Ducky, he has a quilt. He starts off every night with it over him and often ends up with it pushed to the side or him on top of it. Smile

He has just gone swimming with DH so I am having a bit of peace and a cup of tea in bed.

Hope DS feels better today.

Oh poor ds ducky :( tonsillitis is awful! I get it often. I'm even about to book an appt at the doctors as I have blisters on my tonsils atm!
I want them to take them out!
I hope ds gets better very quick :(
Poor thing.
Yes my ds is good with the toilet in the day, he doesn't have accidents in the day at all. He was dry last night tho :)

Lulu ur ds is lucky :) he's got a good immune system! Ds2 is the same, he even managed to miss out on chicken pox when ds1 had them!
Funny u say about snowing lulu, it sort of snowed here too but as it was snowing it was lovely and sunny! :s very strange!
I used to let the cat sleep in my bedroom until he decided to wee in the corner of the room ! So since then I don't let him in Grin

Ducky u mentioned blood tests, funny enough 2 years ago today according to my timehop app ds was in hospital having tests because he was so ill for so long!

Does your ds sleep with a quilt now lulu? I think ds would like a quilt but he wriggles so much in his sleep.

He hardly slept last night, poor thing. I hope he feels better because they said if be isn't better by Monday they want him in the hospital for blood tests Sad

LuluJakey1 · 16/04/2016 22:35

And now it is tipping down again. DH is at the local and will have to walk half a mile home in this. It is bouncing off the garden path.

LuluJakey1 · 16/04/2016 20:13

Ds regularly gets really hot at night and kicks his duvet off. He sleeps in little cotton pyjamas now and they are often damp but he's fine. I think he is quite a tough little thing, he rarely gets a cold or is ill. A few weeks ago just about everyone at nursery had a cold and he never got one.
The weather been very strange today here. DS woke about half six and I got up and brought him back to our bed with his milk. It was blue skies and sunny then. By 7 it was raining heavily and grey clouds and by 8 it was snowing - great big flakes drifting across the garden. That turned to rain and heavy black clouds and it poured for a couple of hours then the sun got out and it has been blue skies and very spring- like again.
Our cats do that Cupcake. They love to get cuddled in between me and DH. One of them likes to sleep on top of him to keep warm.

duckyisback · 16/04/2016 14:37

Oh no! Good that that's the first time though, is he good with the toilet in the day?

Ds woke up after a few mins kip absolutely screaming the house down and nothing would settle him, I called 111 and they gave him an appt at the hospital, took him up there and they said he's got tonsillitis. Sad

Yes the cat calmed down in the end Grin had to give him attention first lol!
Ds woke up around 3am as he had wet himself and the bed and his teddy !! Blush first time he's done that! So it was a shove in the bath and wack everything in the washing machine kind of night Grin
Bless him he kept saying 'sorry teddy! Oh no teddy wet! Sorry teddy!' Grin didn't care about himself or his bed just his teddy Grin

Ducky does ds sweat? My ds is hot most nights and sweats. No temp and his room isn't hot but he does it most nights lol apparently it's normal?

duckyisback · 16/04/2016 10:19

How did he sleep cupcake? Did the cat calm down?

He's excited lulu! Think ds will love being a big brother but he can be a tad rough at times Hmm hopefully he will get better though the next few months.

Ds has been sleeping badly again, after a couple of good nights. He keeps waking up and he's boiling hot, but with no temp. Any ideas what it could be?

LuluJakey1 · 16/04/2016 07:16

Congratulations Ducky- that's lovely news.
Is DH excited- you haven't said?
I bet DS will be when it arrives.

I hope it is too for u! :)

The cat is normally out at night as he hates being inside at night for some reason! But tonight it's chucking it down with rain and it's freezing! So obviously the cat is inside as he doesn't want to go out in the rain but he's being a right pain!!!
Scratching at my bedroom door then at ds's door then he's down stairs scratching away at the stairs ! Hmm he's driving me insane cuz I can just put him outside!

And I rele don't want ds to wake up as I'd like a couple of hours having the bed to myself! Grin

7+4 with a heartbeat Grin they were really lovely in the epu as well. I worked out that gives me an edd of 28th Nov. But if I have an induction it will be 14th which would be good, leaving some space between ds 2nd birthday.

Have my booking in appt Tuesday too.

LuluJakey1 · 15/04/2016 18:29

Oo yes I might go and have a look at that one :)

Yea they get on so so well. I didn't think they would but ds1 is rele kind to ds2 there's been a few occasions where he's hit ds2 but felt bad after and cried and said sorry to ds2 Grin Honestly ducky its turns out better than u expect :)

I've just had a call and I've got an opportunity to be on the THREE DAY NANNY tv show Confused rele not sure if I should do it or not?
Ds1 has got a lot better, he still doesn't fall asleep in his own bed but he's only wakes up once now.
Dunno what to do Confused

Don't know if that link works but I think I'll get that monitor, it's a moterola video monitor. Got good reviews and is quite cheap Smile

Does ds1 get on with ds2 ok? Is he gentle with him? I worry about ds with small babies and I have no idea how he will be with one in the house Hmm

Cupcake92 · 13/04/2016 09:19

Oo yeah I really want a video monitor. Don't know which is good tho? What one do you think you'll get?
Yeah it basically has straps that u put round the slats/bars of ur bed to secure it. I would recommend them ducky it's been amazing and I honestly think it's helped ds2 sleep better at night. It's made life so much easier!! Along with the perfect prep machine Grin

Don't worry urself ducky, remember every pregnancy is different. I'm sure all is fine, try not to worry urself.

Aww no poor ds :( awful when they hurt themselves. Hope he's okay Flowers
