April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

Hi guys. I would just like to say that, like Sunny, I have been reading this thread for a long time! I started TTC around the April 2014 and got pregnant and miscarried around the similar time that Tori did. I was also TTC a lot of the same time you were Cupcake. And now my DD is a similar age to your DS2- she is 16 weeks. I have loved keeping up to date with your journeys. Lulu you seem to be really chilled out with your DS and he's getting on really well and you have a lovely little family! Ducky I really feel for you with DSs sleep problems, I am struggling with naps for DD but thankfully she is currently sleeping ok at night. I don't know how you do it without your DHs support. And Cupcake you seem like superwoman looking after two by yourself! I couldn't!! Just wanted to say Hi

Gosh it's flown by! Will you be/are you doing blw cupcake? Or purees? Or both? About the housing benefit, go onto entitled2 (I think), or turn2us websites. They have benefit calculators and will tell you how much hb you would be entitled to. I have been trying to figure out what I would get: I found a flat I could go to temporary that's by family and the right price, I rang them but it had been taken this morning.

Lulu, ttc again, how exciting. Hopefully you will get pg quick again this time. Are you bothered about having a girl or boy? How's the job going?

Hi sunny! Hope your gettin on ok and managing to get some sleep

I know what you mean cupcake he doesn't even feel like a newborn, he's already got his own little personality and because we are not having any more just want to cherish all the precious little baby times. Funny how a second and third child slots so easily into family life.

Hi all. Sorry to hear you have been having problems ducky but I am sure that now you have done what you wanted to all this time things will only get better for you and ds. I know it must be hard right now but in a few months you will no doubt be in a much better place. It's not nice to wonder what mood your partner will be in or if they are going to help. Once you know you're doing it on your own you can just get on with it rather than resenting his lack of involvement from the start. Fingers crossed he just stays with his mum, I bet she's happy now!
I can't believe how fast time flies. My ds3 is already 2 months old!

Perhaps start TTC in the summer Cupcake. DH is keen to start now but then we want DS to have us to himself for a bit. If I get pregnant around Christmas (thinking it might take a but longer this time) DS would have next summer to himself and the baby would be born next autumn when he was almost 3. Although we would be 38 then so that would probably be an end to babies. DH is still on the idea of 3.

I know DH is a good'un but as I have said to you both before, I kissed lots of bastard frogs, believe me and I know if I had met him 10 years earlier he would have been one of them.

He didn't grow up until his late 20s and spent many a happy year footballing, womanising and drinking until he was about 26 when he started to get a bit of focus- or so he and his family have told me.

You'll meet a good one Ducky, you both will. You are much younger than me. I could be Cupcake's mum. I am 37 this year.

I want a dh like yours one day lulu sounds like you had a lovely day.

Poor ds cupcake, my ds is the same, he has a cold at the mo.

Ds has been very attached to me since it all happened, he usually is but even more so. It's lovely though. He keeps hugging and kissing me constantly. I just hope he's ok.

Your DS1 has been poorly a lot recently Cupcake. Is he ok? Do you think he is run down?

I think DS would be terrible if we were not with DH. They just love each other to bits. I think he would miss DH more than he would miss me TBH. And DH would miss him more than he would miss me.

We are discussing TTC again- humming and hawwing. Probably wait a while.

We have been out for lunch and a walk. It has been sunny and warm. DS has been running on the beach and playing with DH and a ball. They had a lovely time.

I have made DH's favourite tea while he is putting DS to bed and reading to him. He's been fantastic this weekend (DH not DS - he was a horror yesterday).

I am not working this week which is a nice treat. Going to meet PIL in Northallerton for lunch at Betty's and a wander round. It is half way between us.

Don't give in now Ducky. I shouldn't say that really because it is up to you and only you know what it's really like, but the way he has reacted is awful. And this is a man you never kiss, don't have sex with and who is very mean with money.

Don't feel sorry for him. Look after you, DS and the dog.

I'm fine. My heads all a bit messed up. Feeling very confused.

His behaviour is pathetic. How completely ridiculous! You are well rid Ducky. What are you going to do? Have you got your dog away from him?

I feel awful for him, but his behaviour was unacceptable. And I just can't be with him anymore.

He's turned up at my moms. He's got a driving ban. He just keeps saying sorry and he was upset

I have come to dm's. I have one pair of trousers. Two tops and two pairs of underwear. I just rammed things into a bag.

His getting out now, his mom is going to pick him up.
