April 07 - role call for the hormonally unstable !!

[AndAKaty44InAPearTree]

Thanks Chilli

Good evening all - we have managed no shouting day but still have to do bedtime! DS1 had a bit of w obbly earlier about a picture I drew for him which wasn't quite how he wanted it...but apart from that have been fine. Bedtime soon - dh working late - may miss him tonight as completely knackered - i'm already in my pyjamas!

1b3 - where do you get all your energy from for shopping? I need to go to Sanisburys at some point but just cannot face it! Must go or will all starve soon...or live on beans on toast!

Next week will be really busy but will try to check in everyday! Happy christmas to those off to family xoxoxoxx

Hi all, hope you have all had a good day. Dd is looking much better, but because she is her normal self, she is cimbing the walls at not being able to mix with other kids. We did go to the theatre this afternoon to see The Owl who was afraid of the dark which was v good. So, we have been out, but the rest of the time in. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired, I could literally fall asleep at the table.
Have another day of it tomorrow too. Managed to persuade dh to work from home on Friday, as I work and not sure about dd going back to preschool. It will have been well over 48 hours since she started the antibiotics, so we should be ok, but you never know!

Anyway, better head - having some lovely strawberries and pear - yummy!!!

No shouting has failed - ds2 just filled ballon with water and threw across lounge! Time for bed...

evening lovelies

Sorry to hear about all the impetigo SORL. my friend's ds and dd gets that, but my friend gets it so thinks that's how it passed on. Always seems to come up in winter and when run down and tired. hope your lo gets over it in time for xmas.

Yvie - I had anti-d at around 9 wks coz of bleeding and then they did bloods to test again at 18 and I needed top-up. Am due to be tested again around 29wks. I only got the test coz I went in and asked the hospital. The mw seemed to think she only sorted routine anti-d. If you're concerned I would ask mw or doc to have another bloodtest to check that you're covered. I was quite surprised how I could have slipped through the net.

Well I've had a lovely day. Had a couple of girls pop round who used to be in my youthgroup. It's great to see them growing into really lovely young women (esp after seeing them through the spotty/hormonal years!)

And then, it seems I've ended up with a p/t job. ! Have been acting as a consultant for the local council about doing detached work with young people who hang round the streets and they want to run a pilot project for 6months. They know I can only do until the baby comes, but want me to start it off! I'm soooooo pleased. It means an extra £150/week, which is great. And the hours are flexible. The only issue is hanging round on the streets pregnant through winter! I'm sure it will be fine though. Starting some time in Jan. Hurrah

Any body about?
I have just had a huge fight with DH, he is such a pirck sometimes.

He decided to tell me on sunday that his N was coming down on monday this week instead of tuesday and then he was going back on wednesday.

So from that funnily enough I thought that that was it for the week so only got a little bit of food in for the week, I think I would have remembered if he said that N was coming back on thursday, wouldn't have I?

So DH drove his N back to Wales today and I stayed here with DD, who from 6 this evening on not seeing her daddy has been in a fucking MOOD and a half!
She is still screaming in bed which is just pissing me off even more.

Dh told me N was coming back with him tommrow and I said no, which I feel I have every right to say and that just kicked of a huge argument which ended in DH telling me to fuck off and stop moaning and hanging up on me. and now I just feel like complete shit.
I know it is just the hormones and tommrow I will wonder what all the fuss was about, but right now I just can't stop crying and I am so angry!

Just need to vent sorry.

ohhhhh! 1b3! You poor thing! How stressful!! You do so so much for your dh's family. Having N back again Thurs is alot, esp as it's a really busy stressy week running up to xmas. The last thing you need is extra trips to the supermarket for supplies! Sorry to hear your dd is upset too - just upping all the stress for you!

oh lots of ((((((hugs)))))))) for you
< hands over the tissues to 1b3 and puts the kettle on for mug of tea...>

Do you mind telling DH that, he doesn't seem think that having N around is any extra work.

And he still hasn't phoned back, I'm not phoning him even though I know I will I worry about him too much I just wish he did with me.

oh honey. That's prob coz all the extra work of having N just falls on you anyway and he doesn't notice it! Grrrrrrr!!!

And gggrrrrrr at him for not phoning you back. esp when you preg and he knows you gonna be more upset than usual.

When will he be home? Tonight?

He is home tommrow evening, I have banned him from driving at night as he keeps falling asleep when he is doing it.

At least DD is asleep now, how it she knows when to be a little sod when I really don't need it.

At least I have managed to turn the water works off aswell.
I know it is all the hormones and I am most probably over reacting but why odesn't DH see that and cut me some slack.
I work bloody hard with a full time job and being a full time mum aswell the last thing I need is more to do.

W1B3Ks

(((hugs)))

Sounds like a a stressful situation all round

Of course you have every right to say no, especially if you do the lions share. Stand your ground!

I have managed the trememndous feat of getting DD to sleep in her bed. Fingers crossed she stays there nearly all night! She is 2.5 and still very attached but I need my space as she literally sleeps on me and it is not comfortable anymore

On the plus side, I have wrapped up the majority of my Christmas presents this evening, just DSs to do now!!!!

f/t job, f/t mum, preg (with twins!), and regular extra family visitors is tooooooo much! Hope you manage to make dh see that!

AND don't beat yourself up or play down how you're feeling coz of hormones! Your feelings are perfectly valid. I think someone not preg would be getting stressed out with everything you have on your plate.

I just need a day off! No DH or DD, N or SS's that would be Heaven, I think I will run away and leave DH in my shoes for a week see how he likes that! shame he can't experience being pg with DT's too!

If only.

Thanks for the support ladies, i am affraid I am going to give in and call DH...... but just to say good night to him nothing else (don't want him phoning me at silly o'clock)

Night.

night 1b3. hope it all goes ok. ((((((((hugs))))))))
xx

Never go to bed on an arguement

Call him and say you love him and good night, warm fuzzies all round

Morning everyone

Hope it went okay 1b3 and you managed to get some sleep - bug hugs xoxoxoxoxox

When dh got into bed last night he accidentally kicked me in the hip quite hard where my spd hurts - did apologise and stroked my back til went back to sleep - then this morning said I should stay on my own side of bed cheeky bugger! Pointed out that there are now three of us in the bed and we will need to reproportion the share appropriately

Have friend coming round at 10.30 then boys xmas party at 12.30 - then quick trip to recycling to get rid of all the plastic bottles and voila - we've made it another day! Need to make it another no shouting day - they seem pretty settled at the moment!

Need to go food shopping tonight before sis and nephew arrive from states tomorrow. Have ordered beef for xmas day but need to plan what we are going to eat for the weekend and boxing day.

Any thoughts on what can do to occupy us all for 4 days? Thought couple of nice walks (not me tho' with spd!), going to park, few dvds, board games... just can't think of anything really christmassy to do - any ideas appreciated.

I've been paid yiiipppppeeeeeeeee!!!!! Was down to 36p and eyeing up my credit card which can now cut up before all goes terribly wrong in the sales...I am going to avoid it at all costs as don't need anything - for me or boys and will only get stuff for baby if what was planning to buy and has been reduced e.g cotbed/changing unit. I was just about to say may go to Baby Gap in sales but remembered what had just said LOL!!!!

Boys still being good....

Morning all, dd's impetigo pretty much gone, but as it has been less than 48 hours since taking meds, she cannot go to preschool or mix with any other kids. So, another dull day! She is bored too and asking to go to school dear love!!

Hope everyone is ok. I had a real dizzy spell last night - only for about a minute, but I had to get on to the floor pdq! Not repeated again thank God - it was horrid.

Anyway, expecting my lovely mw soon so had better get on ad get dd dressed.

Have a lovely day all, and will call in later on.

Has everyone had their scans now?

xx

Wow, it's actually quite quiet here! Guess everyone is running around doing last minute things. We can't really start on that yet, as we have yet to move into, oh, yes, and decorate (at least undercoat!) the kitchen! I'm hoping people will understand that pregnancy plus the biggest building work I hope ever to have to go through in my life add up to meaning not quite as many thoughtful presents as usual!
1b3, hope you've sorted things out. I hate catching myself over-reacting to something, especially when I actually think the reaction (if not complete explosion) is justified. Good luck with making dh see that you can't just keep going in your ordinary way.
glad your daughter's getting better sorl, it's a horrid time to be sickly and away from friends.
everyone else - at least it's the weekend after tomorrow!

Glad she is feeling better SORL - hope you are too. Will she go to nursery tomorrow so you can have a morning of rest before the festive onslaught? I am being spoiled today as my friend has taken DD all day, so I can finish my work off and not have to do it in the evenings - ahhhh!

1b3 - hope you are feeling okay this morning, and that you managed to make your DH see sense about his N. Sounds like you have more that enough on your plate, and he's been down once this week . . .

SSK - don't know how old your nephew is, but how about making paper chains? Or mince pies? We hope to be doing both of those in the next few days.

I think a few haven't yet had their scans - Captain Dippy had hers booked for about now I think, and I think a couple of people had to wait till the New Year. I have all my health-worries back in proportion now I think, and am looking forward to seeing the GP tomorrow just to check that she thinks everything has been done that ought to be (bloody midwife from hospital who rang yesterday with my blood test results thought it was to check if I was anaemic, rather than to check my platelets, so I told her to make sure she had given the results to my consultant, as I don't know what the level should be anyway ) .

Have a lovely Christmas anyone who's going away . We're staying here over Christmas and New Year, but may be too weighed down on the sofa by turkey and mince pies to get near the computer!!!

Hi all, midwife just been and all in order and on target with uterus size etc. Listened to the heartbeat which dd thought was great!

Dd will go to preschool all day tomorrow hopefully as I have to work, although dh has said he will try and work from home and have her. Can't imagine him getting any work done though!!!!

Hope everyone is ok. I so feel for everyone having hoardes of people to cater for/entertain. We are going to my parents on xmas eve and I can't bloody wait!!

Anyway, dd doing some painting so had better go - ensure she is not painting the furniture!

See you later. xxxx

Glad to hear that your DD is on the mend SORL, i hate it when my DD is ill it's heart breaking.

After I logged off last night I phoned DH who told me that he was driving back from wales!
Had more tears as I hate him driving at night as he gets up at 5am most mornings and can't stay awake past 9pm. So him driving for 2 and a half hours at 10.30 did nothing for my nerves.

Sat and watched a flim phoned him every half an hour to make sure he was still alive, when he finally got in at nearly 1.30 I knackered and feeling like shit, had a really sore jaw as i had sat there the whole time with it clenched and not realised it, he in his own crazy mind said that he ha driven back because he loves me, (if he had any sense he would have phoned me back and said sorry and stayed the night so I didn't have to get all stressed out)

Anyway he has agreed that having N back was a silly idea and has even said that next week we can have the whole week without him next week so I can have some much needed time off!

My eyes are still puffy and sore but I feel happier.

Ahhhh 1b3 - that's great news!

Hi everyone

Ds is much better now - but has very kindly decided to "share" his chest infection with his mummy. Lovely. Have been feeling like crap the past few days. Did see the doc though (even though I know there's nothing I can take) because the last time I felt like this, I was pregnant with ds, and it turned into pneumonia and a week in hospital. By strange coincidence I was 24 wks when that happened. Does this mean I'm having another boy

1b3 - so glad everything things have been sorted out. If I'd have known your dh was in cardiff, I could've visited him to tell him off

Good luck to all those doing Christmas dinner. Admire you very much. Mum and dad are taking me, dh, ds and my sister out for Christmas lunch. Very much looking forward to it

My SPD seems to be under control at the moment, although I can feel (and sometimes hear) a clicking noise most of the time(sorry tmi) But got physio in new year.

Hope everyone is well/feels better soon/not too stressed. I know its not very personal, but I was only going to write a quick message

Take Care all, and if I don't get on here before the big day -

HAVEAVERYMERRYCHRISTMAS Love from everyone in the runnyhabbit house
