April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

I recon ds would have slept through if it wasn't for his monitor!!! It has a sensor on it and it kept going off because he was using his pillow. Am off today to buy a new monitor I think. Going to get a video one I recon.

Is that a crib that just attaches to the bed cupcake? How does it stick on? Iyswim? I've seen pictures of one that goes next to the bed that you can rent for a one off payment for as long as you like and didn't know whether to try that next time... That's if everything goes ok.

All my symptoms have completely gone now. Don't feel pregnant at all and its worrying.

Ds fell over on concrete yesterday. He was running ahead of me and tripped, he's hot a big bruise on his head and cheek, a cut on his nose and a black eye poor guy.

Hope dh has calmed down lulu! Is he still stressed about work load?

Cupcake that is wicked! Go ds!! Is ds2 in your room too?

My ds has been awful at sleeping recently, trying a new tactic tonight! I've only let him have one short nap today even though he was exhausted. We shall see how it goes!

Well DS and I have had a nice day together today- been shopping, to soft play, he had a snooze and I tidied up. House clean, tea made.
DH came home in a right grump - had had a tiring day and had a headache. Would like some 'quiet'. Honestly! So DS is expected to be quiet? I don't think so. I told DH to take some paracetemol and go for a walk. He is in the huff big deal

Sierra Nevada beer- small bottles because DH can't cope otherwise

Poor DS. That sounds awful - really uncomfortable.

What you drinking lulu? I'm in bed now, I'm so rock and roll

He was having the runs really bad that in the end he was screaming the place down when I was trying to clean him as he was so sore. I read somewhere about reaction poos being more acidic and making the skin sore, don't know how true that is but his bum was very sore, then he has stomach ache so bad he didn't know what to do with himself he was just crying inconsolably and rubbing his tummy, calpol wouldn't touch it. And he got the sweats, which is a new one. That's the reason I called them as he hasn't had that before.

Poor DspS Ducky. What happens when he has a bad reaction? Do you know what it was too this time?

DS is asleep now in his room. We are having a drink and DH is wating for Graham Norton to start. Life is so exciting. I remember when we used to go out every Friday night.

Hahah I have a picture in my head of him now lulu in a proper barbers getting a shave! Ds went to the hairdressers for the first time last week for a trim, my mom had done it before but it was getting a bit out of control. he sat ever so well.

Hope there's sleep for you soon!

We've had a bad night, ds has had a bad reaction. Had been on the phone to 111 for ages. Poor little guy was so upset. They booked an appt at hospital for me but he fell asleep as they did it so it's been cancelled and just need to take him in if he gets worse. Feel so sorry for him.

Cupcake, Ds does have his haircut, little trims by my hairdresser. She is a friend and comes round and does it. None of these buzzing machines shaving his neck like in DH's place he goes. He has baby soft hair and little flicks of curls. He doesn't need machines on it.

He is still up too, sitting with DH on the sofa with his milk and a piece of bread and butter.

Sorry, DH likes a barber's shave, not DS DS would be terrified by a barber's shave. I dread to think what havoc he would cause.

I think you'll be fine Ducky. It all sounds very normal - mind you what would I know, I didn't realise until I was about 8 weeks.

DH has taken DS to the barbers with him. I told him not to but he said DS should get used to things like that. FFS, he is 15 months old, it's not like he is going to be going for hair cuts and shaves anytime soon- DS likes a barber's shave occasionally with hot towels and proper stuff.

Anyway, as predicated DS didn't like it and made a fuss and I got a phone call saying would I come and get him because it was havoc. By the time I got there he was standing on DH's knee in the barber's chair combing the front of his hair and nearly putting DH' s eye out with the comb. He didn't want to come home and there was lots of shrieking and wriggling.

Why don't men listen?

DH has come home with his beard shaved off completely and a very short cut . He has really thick hair and it looks very grey - and sexy actually . He had his glasses on and DS looked at him really suspiciously. I don't think he recognised him until he spoke to him.

Yep my scan is a week on Friday. I've had very bad nausea, that seems to start around 6pm up to about 9pm most nights as well as quite badly in the mornings and a bit in the afternoons but today I only felt a little bit sick in the morning. I'm reading far too much into everything. What will be will be.

Problem is I'm a carer for my gd, he doesn't know I'm pg and he has an App at the same hospital an hour and a half after me. So I got to hope I can get seen, rush back to pick him up then go back to the hospital with him!

Cupcake, you can get your revenge when he is a teenager

Lulu I wouldn't let the jumper thing drop that's hilarious how was your camper trip?

This two weeks waiting for the scan seems to be going so so slow. I have been getting very bad nausea on and off all day but not actually been sick. I'm hungry but too nauseous to eat.

Yes Cupcake. Got into bed and said, 'It's cold tonight. Let's have a cuddle up'. I said airily 'Oh just put a jumper on DH, you don't always need to cuddle-up you know'. He swore and laughed. He did admit he had realised how pompous and how much like his dad he had sounded. He'll be collecting string and elastic bands next (one of FILs little hobbies). He said am I going to make fun of him by saying the 'Oh just put a jumper on' thing any chance I get for the next 50 years and I said yes, absolutely.

Ducky, DS is a good sleeper usually. We don't often get interrupted nights but we sometimes get a little run of them. He slept through last night. I am worried that if we have another baby it will be a bad sleeper. I am useless without sleep. I don't know how you cope. I get really snappy and then cry easily and just become pathetic and don't function properly. When you and Cupcake describe the nights you have it puts me off another baby.

Hope you both have a good day. We are going out in the camper - across to Allendale and the Durham Dales. Hoping it's nicer weather there.

Ahh no cupcake! Hope ds1 sleeping gets better, it scares me knowing they can still be like that at that age! How is ds2 sleeping?

Lulu, I think it's a man thing, no matter how cold it is h will never put the heating on! Is ds still sleeping well? What time does he go to bed?

We didn't make it swimming, ds fell asleep and it was my only opportunity to get him to nap! Was going to go today but am meeting a friend and taking dc to soft play instead.

Cupcake, I am waiting for him to get into bed and complain he is cold- which he does regularly even though he gives off enough heat to melt a polar ice cap. Next time he says it and goes to cuddle up to me I'll tell him to just put a jumper on.

DS has run round and round tonight playing with a little wooden car. He was exhausted and over-tired when he went to bed. He has been to soft play and walked on the prom at the lighthouse. I can't believe how much energy he has. I think he'll sleep tonight.

DS and I have just come in. We've been out all day. It is cold up here today and wet. Walked home from SIL in the rain. House is feezing. DH working at dining room table, barely looks up.

I ask if the heating us broken and he says 'No, I've just put a jumper on. You don't always need to put the heating on you know.'
I went upstairs and put it on, leaving DS asleep in his pushchair.

DH took one look as I came downstairs and said ' Have you put it on?' as if he couldn't believe it. I said 'Yes' nothing else.

Have made myself a cup of tea and am sitting next to the radiator. Grr! He is turning into his dad.

Well have a nice time swimming. I get awful when I am really tired. Hope he has a sleep and you can have a snooze too.

DS has had his milk and is in the shower with DH. I am having some tea and toast and 15 minutes peace and quiet before they come down for breakfast.

I am takng him out today so DH can do some work. Am going to soft play then meeting SIL for something to eat. Then we are going up to the country park and back to hers.
