Ok have been making notes for past 2 days but not had time to post so here goes
Maveta - Really good news on GTT results, yay for chocolate! I had ds in a moses basket/crib (had a crib by the bed but if he'd fallen asleep in moses basket downstairs would carry it up and sit it inside crib so he at bed height) by my bed for at least first 6 months as he was still breast feeding and was easier and more relaxed and comfortable for me to just lift him out and into bed next to me for a feed but then i am supremely lazy! Then moved him into cot in his room around 6/7 months so cot side bed for me would have been lovely if i had a big enough room. Its one of those things you dont really know until you're doing it! Sorry thats no help at all!
1b3 - moved ds into big bed at about 16/17 months when he started climbing out of his cot I had bed guard on the bed cos he was so little and he had a pillow but didnt get proper duvet til he was 2, just had cot sheets til then. And stair gate on his bedroom was essential, although it wasn't long before he started climbing over that too but it did at least slow him down abit!
And correct me if im wrong but with premature babies dont they tend to grow and develop at the same times as if they'd been born on their EDD anyway as any weeks before the EDD they're still developing as they would have in womb. I know ive not siad that clearly hopefully you know what I mean. So even if they are born earlier wouldnt say 6 month landmarks still be reached at same time as if they were born in april? So you really should stay with us, whenever they're born
GMM - loved your rant! Well done you
Claricebean - sorry you seem top be having a rough time of it lately, chicken pox is a PITA when dd had it she moaned and itched but still enough energy left to be naughty and get bored! Think I also need to make a trip over to you to see if ds will get it, he was not quite 1 i think when dd had it but never caught it, dont know if he had immunity from breast milk still or if he has natural immunity like dp seems to as he's never had it either. But would like him to get it while sooner rather than later, I think the older they are the worse it is.
WO - still trying to sort out bed for dd, wrote them a very arsey email so waiting to see if they gonna actually do anything or just say tough luck! So haven't told her she cant have that bed yet, will wait till i can say look you can have this one instead!! Glad your and appointment helped your dp. Im exactly the same and never really tell mine how im feeling properly, i just shout at him! Have to admit I was supposed to go and see someone at psychiatric place on thurs but cancelled, couldn't face it as i really dont like talking to people at best of times but at the mo im focusing on scan next tues and then my pre registration child minding thing on thurs, dont need anything else to think about at mo! Plus its at same place my mum made me go when i was teenager and i hated the lot of them and the way they sat there with these long silences thinking id cave and talk just to fill them but i wouldn't. I think that rather than talk to me and just be nice they were trying to 'figure me out' and analyse me and i hate that. Sure it would be different now but not ready to find out just yet!
Have had crappy weekend so far. Dp asked me earlier in week if i minded if he went out tonight, i said no long as he came back here for night as we only get 2 nights a week together now he's working nights. This morning he found out footballs cancelled so im thinking oh thats nice we finally get a chance to spend a sat together as a family, turns out he's thinking he can go and watch the reserve team play instead and drink all afternoon aswell as evening. So in the end he stayed til half 3 but spent the last hour sat there looking miserable not talking so really may as well not been here. Dunno if he coming back tonight or not now and don't really care. He texted at half9 saying 'yeah you' but ive just ignored him! Yesterday he pissed me off picking us up from school, when i got in car i said 'you drove straight past us' in a 'what a numpty' jokey sort of way and he started shouting saying there was a car up his fucking arse what was he meant to do i said dont shout and he said well dont treat him like a twat so i just got out the car (we were stopped at a junction, i didnt just jump and roll ) and walked the 15mins home i was fuming. And he just says sorry he's tired.
And ive had a letter telling me ive got a meeting with the compliance officer at the job centre on mon 29th. And he is the guy i saw before after someone reported to dss that dp was living here so presumably must be same thing again. He told me last time if they had a 2nd complaint they would start surveillance so dunno if they been doing that, if they have recently then they cant have a prob with dp staying here too much cos he working nights ffs. He was here alot at christmas but that was fucking christmas! Im so pissed off why do people have to stick there nose and cause trouble. Its the whole school gate bitching bollocks cos the only people it could be is one of the other mums for no other reason than they got sad little lives with nothing better to think about. So now i got that to worry about too.
But feeling better for my rant
