I'm trying to see if I can get a little job at home so I can have a bit longer off cuz I can't afford to not earn any money at all otherwise I'd take the 12 months off.

Oo I hope ur scan goes well ducky! How far along do u think u might be?

Can you have any longer off cupcake? Would you be able to afford any unpaid time? Or add any holidays onto the end of your leave?

My gp messed up my referral so I had been on the phone to the hospital all day yesterday trying to sort it. My referral only got sent yesterday, it got sent to the wrong place and said I knew my dates. I then found out the consultant I really wanted to see was on long term sick so I won't get to see her.

The consultant secretary was very helpful and managed to sort everything out for me and I have a scan a week today. Am feeling very nervous though.

How old is he now? My ds3 will be 3 months on sat. Can't believe it. Also means I'm only nine months away from going back to work lol

Cupcake92 · 22/03/2016 08:38

How is everyone doing?

I tried ds2 with baby rice last night but he just couldn't eat it Grin he wasn't interested at all bless him Grin

Cute pic. Lol to the not being able to say conjunctivitis

duckyisback · 21/03/2016 03:29

Thank you sunny. Hope your all feeling better soon!

That's a lovely pic cupcake.

Cupcake92 · 20/03/2016 22:36

Haha I said smile to him and that was what he decided to do Grin
He asked for a picture with ds2 so I think he was trying to be funny.
But yes ds2 is a little chunk :)

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 20/03/2016 20:49

Ds2 is very smiley there but DS1 looks like he might be about to complain! Did he?
Isn't DS2 big?

Cupcake92 · 20/03/2016 20:37

A little nervous about coming off them tbh ducky, but the doctor said I should be okay. And yes !! My stress is so much easier to deal with and I don't feel like I can't breath anymore, which I thought were mini panic attacks, they've gone. :)
My 2 have 2 years and 2 months between them, I've attached a pic of them from today :)

Hey sunny! Oh no conjunctivitis is awful! Hope it all clears up quick! I can not for the life of me physically say the word 'conjunctivitis' out loud Grin my mouth just doesn't let me say it properly Grin

Lulu, it's been nice here and sunny, yes I have a garden we were out in it today, DS1 was playing football and ds2 was in the swing :) it was lovely being out in the garden today.

Well done Cupcake's DS! He has managed it really quickly.

There will be other houses- there always are. Your house always sounds nice and you have a garden now don't you?

It has been very cold here today; sunny but cold. We took DS for a walk and he had a trot along the beach and played with a ball with DH.

sunny825 · 20/03/2016 13:47

Congratulations ducky that's lovely news. You always said you wanted your kiddies to have same dad so that's good. Hope you're not feeling to ill with it. We have had conjunctivitis in our household and it's been bloody awful. Baby seems to be blinking funny so got a feeling he may have it now.

duckyisback · 20/03/2016 05:40

That is great of ds with his toilet training!!! How do you feel about coming off the anti depressants? Have they been helping?

I have no idea when the baby would be due but it all goes well I'm guessing October/November so ds will be around 22/23 months. Isn't that the same age gap as yours? Tbh I feel excited but I am so Ill Sad I'm exhausted and I have a really bad cough/cold/sore throat that's been waking me up at night and I can't sleep Sad

Cupcake92 · 19/03/2016 21:32

Yay ducky is back! :p hehe. Glad I have ur old name back!
How do u feel about the whole pregnancy thing?
How old would DS be when this baby is born ? It's nice having them so close my 2 are already the best of friends it's lovely to see :)
Will we get another labour story??! Grin

Lulu, I went to see the house and it just wasn't what I expected :( it was a dining room, it was just a big kitchen that someone has squashed a table into and called it 'dining space' and the lounge was so small :( so I didn't take it. I'm still looking daily for a house.

DS is getting on amazing with potty training!!! I'm so proud! This morning he woke up with a dry nappy and asked to go downstairs so he could use the potty! Then tonight he was in bed and he asked to use the toilet! Even tho he has a nappy on at night! So I took him to the toilet and he actually went! So proud :)

The gps went fine, but got to go back in a couple of weeks as I've been constantly bleeding for about 5 weeks now and she said if it continues I need to go back and have a blood test as it could make me anaemic. It all started when I started my antidepressants.
I'm coming off the antidepressants after 6 months the doctor said :s

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 19/03/2016 14:53

Cupcake- how did you get on with the house? Are you going to move?

How is DS getting on with his potty training?

Hope it went ok at the GPs.

duckyisback · 18/03/2016 18:44

I had no idea my name has changed Confused have changed back to ducky to save confusion.

Yes the following day we spent the whole day talking things out and discussing what needs to happen. Things have been pretty much great since it all happened now. He is well aware of the fact that if anything happens from now it is the end. I stayed at my moms for a bit then came home when I saw he was making a real effort. He has kept it up so far so we will see how it goes.

As for the pregnancy, it's very confusing, a few times I have had a bit too much to drink and things happened. I had been unwell the past few days then I suddenly thought I could be so took a test and it came up straight away. I'm still in shock tbh. I think it's still very early days though.

It's been freezing here too! Can't wait for summer!

LuluJakey1 · 18/03/2016 18:33

Do you mean you have gone back in the last couple of weeks and got pregnant Ducky? So just a few days?
That is all very unexpected. Hope you feel better than you did. Things sounded so awful by the time you left and he behaved so oddly then- pulling curtain rails down, stabbing work surfaces with the knife, trying to hang himself. Are you sure it is safe for you and DS?

You have changed your name again too. I didn't realise it was you until I read the post.

It is freezing here tonight. DH is making tea- prawns and vegetable rice. DS had scrambled egg and toast and is ready for bed. He has had a very busy day and is looking tired Smile

famousmonsters · 18/03/2016 05:54

Sounds like you have a busy day cupcake! And woo to ds in his pants!

We weren't intimate but once we had talked things through and made up it happened Confused we have been together 10 years, I think our relationship just got put on the back burner and left and just went.... I don't know, we shall see what happens, he knows that if I get unhappy I will leave and he has accepted that.

The pregnancy came as a huge shock to me, I only found out yesterday and feel a bit lost as I don't know what going on in terms of the hospital etc. I think it's very early days so you never know what will happen. I'm very worried ds will be upset Sad

Cupcake92 · 17/03/2016 23:16

Wait... What?
May sound strange but how? Thought u and h weren't intimate?

Please just be certain about what u wanna do. U seemed so sure before about h. Make sure u are truly happy okay?
I'm kinda jealous! Grin ds2 is such a good baby I wish I could have another as always wanted 3 Grin

If I get this house I'll move on 14th may. Fingers crossed!

Oh and yes lulu he's so proud!
He went to nursery in pants today as he refused his nappy but he had lots of accidents!

My day is so busy tomorrow, doctors at 8am as apparently I need a check up before I'm allowed more of my contraceptive pill Hmm I've run out so had none all week and I've started bleeding again after finally stopping 4 weeks of constant bleeding! So im not impressed Hmm then I've got mine and ds1's hair cut at 9:30am and I've got to help my mom out as she's hurt her back quite badly, then the house viewing at 1pm!
I'm tired thinking about it all Grin

I'm back!!!

My internet went completely down and I run out of data on my phone so couldn't get on the Internet at all! It was awful.

When are you moving cupcake?

I have come back home. Me and h had a VERY long talk, it made me realise that there was so much he did that pissed me off that I wouldn't talk to him about, I'd just keep it inside and get angrier and angrier.

I was moaning about the house constantly being a tip and being cluttered and dark, when I came back he had re decorated the whole place and threw out bags and bag fills of junk. He now tidies without being asked and even told me off for being messy Blush I hope he keeps it up.

And in even bigger news. I had been v I'll the last few days.... I'm pregnant Blush no idea how far I am. Am waiting for q call from the dr now and I guess I'll be sent for an early scan.

LuluJakey1 · 16/03/2016 22:45

It is just a semi Cupcake- nothing flash about our house.

Is DS proud of himself?

Cupcake92 · 16/03/2016 21:19

Well Lulu he's gone and earnt himself all 5 stars today! He stayed in pants from 12:30 till bedtime with no accidents and now he gets to have a trip to the shop tomorrow after he's been to his dad's to pick what prize he wants :) so proud of him!!

It's available from 14th may :) which is nice as it gives me plenty of time to pack everything up!
I think Lulu it's nice to move but sometimes it's easier to stay put as u say! It sounds beautiful where u live tho :)

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 16/03/2016 20:23

That is excellent of DS, Cupcake. It sounds like he is going to do it easily now. Wish DS was ready. He can poop for England.

The house sounds lovely. When could you move?

Sometimes I would like to move out into the country but everything is so easy living here. It's a nice street, safe for DS and the cats, lovely walks, places to play and trees, a park. We're staying put at the moment.

Cupcake92 · 16/03/2016 06:57

It's got a good sized kitchen and big dining area so I can put a table and have DS's toys in there. It's got a good sized garden with a shed which is good. And it's on a lovely little culdesac right near the school i want DS to go to plus it's only a 5 min walk to his nursery from there. Yes very safe for ziggy it's away from the main road so nice and quiet :)

Oh I've got to start potty training DS on Friday! I've brought him 25 pairs of pants Grin he's already been on his potty twice by choice and earned himself 2 stars. I've told him once he gets to 5 stars we can go to the shop and he can pick a prize. He's got a lovely reward chart up on the door :)
