The Wagon has got plenty of new arrivals, a few more on the way and still waiting for a honk or 2

[McKayz]

Here we go a nice new thread!!

Saying a big Wagon Hello to little Aoife. Ses She is beautiful.

Come on Baby McKayz!!!!!

I need a cry

DD was awake almost all night so I am shattered. Then I twisted my ankle again this morning and had to sit on a wall in York for almost an hour as I couldn't put weight on it. Then the bloody car failed it's MOT. We can't afford to fix it or buy a new one. DH is going to see if we can part exchange it for a cheap crappy thing until we get his bonus in January.

kayz

Hope you can sort something, money worries are the worst, we got into Debt when the head gasket went on our old car.
Hope DD sleeps tonight.

I have had a better day, although its very sad to say i am now convinced i hate my job. Its not a bad place but i dislike
The traffic ( other location was under 5 mins drive), and i just fin the job monotonous and boring. When i started the manager said he was fine with me taking a ver short lunch to leave early, however you know when you get the sense that that isnt truly the case? All I can think is please dont sack me!! Just let me get to maternity leave!
Ho hum

Ohh almost forgot to say, I booked another private scan today and my mummy dearest (haha) has arranged wedding dress tryings on for thursday..

Morning all

Kayz. Sorry for money worries hope you had a better night with dd.

Hi Bb. Hooray for scan. How many weeks will you be?

Hi think and everyone else.

Ah bloody hell!! I ordered a dress from dorothy perkins yesterday for DDs christening. Only £16 so a bargain. Only today they have a special 20% off all dresses. So it would have been £12.80. Tis not fair!!

But I have managed to talk Vodafone into letting me upgrade to the new iPhone and I don't have to pay for the phone.

DD slept much better last night. Still can't get her in the basket though. She seems to sleep in everything but the moses basket.

The car is going to another garage today so they can give us a price for the work as the price we got from the garage yesterday was ridiculous. One of the things that failed was a headlight not working on dipped but DH and my step dad checked and they all work.

kay - money worries r horrid!!

i will be on my 11 week of work this fri probation period is 12 weeks!
still abit anxious hope they take me on permantley
so need this job for the money and really enjoying it

Tink sure they will

kayz bloody sods law on dress! Garage sound dodgy!

Ginger hows you? Will be 18 weeks on the nose at the private so should find out sex, but scan is more for reassurance, feel so different this time that I'm paranoid! NHS scan is 21-8, so not too long between them, although after that i will possibly have 18 weeks without one which will be weird!
Did you get the all clear on GD?
My first test is on the 7th and I think i will be heading that way! Ive got docs tomorrow as i have had a headache for weeks, and been so tired I want my iron checked as i am taking iron and its bot helping. Strangely i'll actually be happy to have GD again as I know how to deal with it and would know why i felt rubbish!

Wave to any lurkers Hope all are well

Well the original garage quoted £479 for all the work. Other garage says £220. Plus the rear tires failed but new garage says they are legal.

So it's getting fixed next week. So we'll have a few days without the car as the mot doesn't actually run out until Sunday.

Thats a relief kayz altho annoying that the other garage tried to screw you! Some people have no morals!

I have bitten the bullet and tried the dresses! Eek!

BB - eek! :) Hope you had fun trying on the dresses!

Kayz - it really bugs me how some garages will try and get away with overcharging and saying more needs doing than is true. Well done on getting a solution sorted.

tink - that 11 weeks has gone quickly! I'm sure you will be taken on permanently

Ginger - how's the SPD?

Hello everyone else - hope you're all ok. LBOT, Star, Rugby, Gruff, Diege, Cant and anyone else I've forgotten or is lurking

Aoife gave me over 5.5hrs of solid sleep last night and has weighed in at 10lb10 today so really pleased with how she's doing.

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday and the Olympic torch goes down my parents' road so we're heading off there for the afternoon. I'm hoping that the rain doesn't put in an appearance.

There was just a couple in a car on the main road outside my house making out!! Well a little more than that really. Lots of groping!! On a main road!!

I must be getting old!! I feel shocked.

ses for sleep it really makes a difference! Hope torch was good.

kayz im nosey so id of stared really obviously an offputtingly

We've had an odd morning, we went swimming as usual but DP feel out with life guard! Even braved AIBU with it!

Hoping our weather lasts we've got whisper sun!

Well from my mood earlier ive just spent the last two hours in tears someone tell me this is normal?

Ive suddenly felt panicked at filling 5 days again, felt like i have no friends..
Rationally i think that people who've left my life (a few recently) needed to go, as do a few who are on their way out, but im fearful of having to make new ones i think.

Probably rational and have made plans with other friends, so im obviously not as bad as i think, but hormones are not my friend today!

Grrr! DH and I are annoying each other at the moment.
Probably aggravated by the fact that we're both tired and I had a tough day with the DC yesterday.
I just started typing out a bit of detail around it but it all seems so petty (from both sides) I can only hope that it doesn't continue into today!

DS has just made us both laugh as I type this though. He pointed out that DH is wearing a top with brown and pink stripes on today (does look better than it sounds!) and O said "Daddy you've got pink and brown. You're a girlboy!"

Oh and BB I read your other thread and YANBU - they really should take that seriously!

Ses O is funny, it must be hard being so sleep deprived / interrupted, im not looking forward to that!
Glad you saw situation as serious too, i was quite horrified really.

Ive decided yesterdays blub fest was a hormone surge as this morning i was violently sick, sorry if TMI but its the worst I've been, really feeling my acid heartburn which became so familiar with A. Have sent DP out for the shopping including rennies or similar, but am going to call the doctors monday for some maalox or similar. In a strange way its reassuring, both from babys point of view and my moods!

We are off to the park after lunch today make the most of this yellow thing gracing the sky! Im extra pleased for it as a friend is getting married today

bb - grr to hormones !!
ur wknd sounds nice

ses- it is so hard when u r lacking with sleep arguments do happen

booked paralympics tickets yest
going in sept with dd1 she is very excited

Ses, I hope you didn't have any more arguments. Lack of sleep is awful. DH ended up staying awake last night holding DD so I could sleep.

BB, hormones suck!! For what it's worth I think your DH is completely right. What would have happened if no one got there in time?

We're going to Immingham Port open day. Exciting I know but FIL is there with his stand so we're going to see him. The boys will enjoy it.

Tink paras sound fab! Hope works been good!

Kayz day out sounds nice

We've had beautiful weather this weekend so have been out in it, walked miles today as we decided to take DS on a bus "adventure"! makes me so content but dreading silly work tomorrow!

Ive worked out that I've an appointment a week for the next three! Blood test tomorrow midwife finally week after then private scan after that! Busy busy!

Hope everyone is well

Hi bb and kay
Work gd hv been there 11weeks now
Probation is 12 weeks
Don't know what to expect next week
Whether i will hv a meeting with boss etc

Hi everyone

sorry for absence, things so massively busy I just dont really get any time to post on MN these days.

I am very sorry in advance but need to have rant.

I'm utterly fed up with work and my fuckwit (sorry for language at this time of the morning) of a boss.

She is totally ignoring my issues with SPD and instead just piled on more pressure, criticising everything I do and so making me so edgy I am now fucking everything up- so she is in turn bullying me further about my work. SPD is v painful a the moment and so its hard to be focused at work with the pain.

I've spoken to a number of people at work and have support regarding her behaviour so I can turn to them if I need to.This morning I've come into yet more criticism of my work via email- I dont mind that- its the tone implied. Like I am useless....

I really dont want to get signed off yet because there is stuff I need to get done before I go- but this work is for her and I know she will beat me up all the way through it and it will never be good enough.

Im sat here alone in the office this morning practically crying because I feel so down about it. I dont mind giving it effort despite the pain etc when its worth while but right now I dont know what to do.

My head says - get the occupational health assessment done now and let that guide the outcome. But my heart (which drives my work- which I usually enjoy) says - dont let her push you over and give it all you can.. I know i'd regret it if I was sititng about on leave from now.

I am/ was actually wondering if I've got antenatal depression which is behind all this. I looked it up and I am not sure- I am really excited about the baby and being pregnant- Im struggling with mixing it with work but things like the olympics and other nice stuff is just making me edgy and miserable...

Rant over. better make a drink and do some work.
Thanks for reading if you are still with me.

Aww ginger big (((hug))) firstly! Work sounds horrid and SPD is a nightmare and your boss sounds unbelievably inconsiderate! Do u think she resents you having another child? If she is acting deliberately I think you need to address this with her but perhaps via HR, explaining that you feel Undermined and bullied?

Re antenatal depression I do not know the ins and outs but if it helps whilst im ecstatic to be pregnant, i dont fixate on this pregnancy as much. Ive been thinking about the practicalities and things but not so much the little person? With second pregnancies i wonder if thats normal as your life is already busy? Last night was te first time ive felt pure excitement rather than excitement and anxiety, as baby was having a wiggle.

Hope you get things sorted at the end of the day your boss has no right to be so discriminatory x
