Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
ataraxis · 17/08/2008 20:10

Hi guys,
Got a question - have had the smallest amount of bright red spotting over the last couple of hours. Am curently on a 'wait and see' - LO has been moving so am sure it is all ok - just looking for reassurances really...

dizzydixies · 17/08/2008 20:12

I stuffed myself into a pair of my 'fat' trousers but all I did was hurt my scar so back on with the old faithful matty ones for a wee while

no1 same old story, drove me demented by doing feck all as usual, coming bogged down with presents for the kids and throwing sweeties and money at them leaving me with spoilt hyper brats - I just wish they would actually bother to spend some farking time with them rather than disappearing off into town and not turning up here till after 2pm - they were only over for 3 days

I know I know, I sound like an ungrateful miserable wench and I'm sorry but really - they see the girls about 3 or 4 times and year and don't spend any time with them when they are here

sazzles thats lovely, are you sure they were for you this time

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 17/08/2008 20:17

You dont sound ungrateful Dizzy I never understand that.
My friends mum just turns up with stuff or offers to pay for things, but doesnt spend any time with the children. Then gets upset when they dont acknowledge her.
You would have thought they could have took them out for you, to give you some time.

dizzydixies · 17/08/2008 20:20

dh sent them to the park with dd1 and dd2 when they finally arrived yesterday, they came home with their pockets full of sweeties and eating ice lollies which were duely trapsed all over my upstairs carpet

this was all after phoning at 2pm to get collected from town as they were in buying presents for their other grandkids [grrrrrrrr]

we only have on car now so dh took them and the eldest 2 to a near by farm this morning to let me feed Dylan, they sat in the cafe (AGAIN) whilst dh ran about after the 2 of them

I'd hidden the remote control by the time they'd come home, needless to say FIL was NOT amused

poor dh - even he was frustrated with them this time

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 17/08/2008 20:22

Lol at hiding the remote. Nice one

dizzydixies · 17/08/2008 20:24

dd2 has now started climbing out of her cot over and over tonight - could have done without it this evening as am pooped and was just happy to have my house back for the evening - there goes my night of mning - looks like I'll be chasing her about upstairs for the forseeable

dizzydixies · 17/08/2008 20:26

ataraxis sorry!!! inbetween all my whinging I missed you there

if you're feeling lots of movement I'd say all fine, things are beginning to shift and move now you're this far on so spotting could be the first sign of a show - if you're concerned phone triage

Ataraxis, bright red blood.....I'd phone MW just to see what she says. All I've gotten thus far is brown type mixed with mucus.

dizzy what a pain your ILs are but like Sazzles says, at least it's over now and they've farked off. Take some advice from Depeche Mode and enjoy the silence

sorry TS been out in the shed looking for a nail gun as dd2 decided to take it upon herself to continue to climb out of her cot tonight

cyteen the worst of it is they are REALLY nice, generous people - I jus t don't understand it. I mean, I think they come over here to see the girls and spend time with them but infact, every single time, they feck off into town and don't bother doing anything with the girls unless I physically drag them there - at which point they'll find a cafe or gift shop to disappear into?!?!?

ataraxis · 17/08/2008 20:46

Thanks for the messages. Seems to have stopped so will keep an eye and ring midwife if anything else happens.
LOL @ Team TS!!

TwilightSurfer · 17/08/2008 20:46

Okay.

Everyone sounds in good spirits this evening. Must be nice to have babies to hold and worry over. OH WO IS ME.

Dizzy how are you going to use the nail gun to keep her in bed?? Just curious as it sounds .....

Sazzles, agreed my team sounds much more exciting.

alittlebitshy · 17/08/2008 20:47

cavey - the ladoes go gooey over babies don;t they? despite me hopes that he wouldn#t be passed around I actually wasn;t too worried at coffee before church and let a few women have a cuddle. He was wide awake and happy to be cuddled, so.....

lol i think dh just been wee-ed at again by the sounds of the "oh henry" coming from upstairs!!!!

sazzles our friends were doing splendisly with hr 2!! I may be doing them an injustice, but I think the fact that their ds is having bottles in the eves (after 5pm) and at night (and when they're out) makes life a bit easier - she doesn;t have to sit feeding him for 40 mins every hour or two so is a bit freer to pay attention to their 22month old. Whatever helps i say!! My bil and sil will have teh 22 month gap in a month or so so it was interesting for me to see what the gap looked like if that makes sense. Thier dd loved our dd and vice versa and the babies just slept and ignored the world (of course henry fed too, him being him)
