[tinkisfourtyweeks]

hi ladies a new thread hopefully it will bring me my baby

Morning everyone

Kay- we are moving to Oregon on the west coast above California. This is where DH is from and all his family live there. He has 2 Great grandmas still alive so the Girls and DC3 will have 2 Great great grandmas!!!! plus two great grandmas and great grandpas.
Sorry that you had a bad night with DS1 and DH it sounds like They go through phases of not sleeping i found with both mine, it is really hard espacially if they have previously been good sleepers, but it will get better. He has been doing well sleeping in his own bed.

Astarte- don't feel very organised got lists coming out of my ears. Think we have been planning it for so long 12 months now that slowly things are getting ticked off the list! CD sounds good, will have to let us know how you get on. My book has a CD with it but admit i haven't opened the covers yet! Hoping it will help with relaxation as imagine i might be very stressed by then!

GYO- hi

Hi everyone, not really about, just posting over here at the moment.

Congrats Tink, look forward to seeing pictures, just can't get on FB right now.

Hope all are well, hopefully I'll be back soon.

Hi Latour- I had seen your other thread, sounds like a really difficult time for you and your family..

Come back for a sit on the Wagon sofa, a brownie and a cup of tea whenever you need a rest...

We are thinking of you

Take care

LaTour, Look after yourself, we're all here for you.

Morning!

Kay - sorry to hear you had a bad night and the BF isn't going so well atm. I wish I had some experience to be able to help. I would say though that is only mid morning... What makes you say he's being fussy? How's his latch?

tink - good to have you and Bracken home!!

2BG - really good to hear from you. Well done on your catch up!

GYo - how's you today??

I didn't get home from my meeting til 10.30 last night. Slept fairly well but think my hormones are making me get things out of control this morning...
Didn't get off to a great start with DH this morning and feel like phoning him at work and sounding off at him but I'm restraining myself. (I don't think he feels we didn't get off to a great start!)
Can I offload???

I can???

Well basically, DH got up and went to work whilst I was still in bed this morning. The only conversation we had was him moaning about all the mess everywhere and then saying that 6% of it was his mess, 80% mine and the rest joint mess. Then as he left the bedroom, I called out to him as the baby was moving and he still hasn't felt it. He came back in the bedroom and asked what I wanted and I said that the baby was moving and I wondered whether he might feel it but by that point I couldn't feel any more movements and he just said that he had to go to work and went.

I guess I was disappointed that he didn't hang around to see whether the baby started moving again but also this "mess discussion" keeps happening. Now neither me nor DH are the tidiest of people but he always thinks I'm more messy than him. I've tried to tell him before that he just doesn't see his mess.
I am bad at leaving clothes on the floor in the bedroom and if I cook the evening meal,I do expect DH to clear up afterwards (and he normally does). But I come downstairs this morning and there's a pair of his shoes lying in the lounge together with an empty coke can, crumbs all over the coffee table and his things from his dinner last night (as I was out) are still in the kitchen.
I feel like shouting "We are as bad as eaach other!! Let's stop moaning about it and get the balance between trying to be better but accepting that we're both a bit messy!!!"

I'm also the only one that cleans and sweeps the floors, washes the bedding, cleans the fridge out, does the shopping...

Surely the mess will only get worse once the baby is here??!

Ooh I'm really sorry that was waaay longer than I planned but it's kind of helped to get it out...

Because of my v selfish post, I have now x-posted with loads of you.

LaTour - I'm really sorry for what you and your family are going through. I'll be thinking of you.

(I feel my hormones are put in perspective. )

Ses, he keeps latching on, coming off and latching on again. He's been doing that for about an hour now. With small 5 minute naps every now and again.

Also me and DH are like that too. We aren't hugely tidy people. It could be tidier but it also could be a lot worse.

Hi Ses
Sorry to hear about falling out with DH. Think hormones have huge amount to do with it and maybe he is also worrying about what will happen when the baby is here re state of house etc- if he is anything like my DH he might be getting himself silently worked up about it and then being cross...

I know what you mean about it not feeling fair- sometimes point of row is so unjust it makes me want to scream. Hopefully it will blow over during the day.... but I understand your frustration.

BTW, about baby moving, WHENEVER mine moved early ish on, I called DH and it stopped. Im sure he used to think I was making it up for attention

Im good thanks for asking (apart from usual list of late preg symptoms that we all have . Amusingly, preg hormones are so all over the place my book made me cry on train this morning. So not only am I sitting in 1st class (free ticket thing), Im only woman, Im only pregnant person, and Im sitting blubbing. Roll on maternity leave!

LaTour I'm so sorry. Hoping that your Nan is peaceful and that you can get up and see her. I think the worst part is feeling like there's nothing you can do. But I suppose there isn't much that you can - besides support your mum and grandad. thinking of you {{{hugs}}}

Hi 2BG [smile} How are you doing? Things are fine here and seem to be progressing normally (touch wood) Good luck with your move and as always do let me know if you have any questions. It's a great time to be moving to the US - well, despite the economy collapsing! - lots of hope and a positive feeling everywhere! In fact, I think our baby might've been conceived on election night!

Kay so sorry for the bad night. Hopefully it's just a blip!

Ses I know just how you feel - neither Dh or I are particularly neat - but each of us has our tidy streaks that seem to highlight the mess the other is making. I think you need to have a chat with yours when you're both home tonight and if you need to, come up with some rules/apportion chores. Mine also seems disinterested in the baby sometimes too. I think it's just so much more real for us than for them.

Tink Well done and glad you're all home and doing well.

Kooky Yay for details on the list!!! You're doing so well, congrats!

Hello Astarte GYO and Glask

SES- it happens!! and yes the mess will get worse after the baby arrives- but you become blind to the mess Men can never see their own mess... DH does it all the time- he'll come in, leave his shoes in the middle of the hallway, or living room, eat his tea, put the plates on the side- even when its his 'turn' to wash i end up doing them the next morning!! Then he'll have a brew and use a brand new clean cup instead of rinsing the one he used an hour ago- instead that one will stay on the shelf/fire/PC desk until I decided to finally clear his mess- i find myself leaving his mess to see if he notices it and tidies up, but it never happens!! Then in an evening if he snacks on anything the wrapper/plate from it always hangs around somewhere instead of going in the bin. THATS MEN!!! sorry luv but you'll have to learn to live with the moaning about your mess... or trade him in for a robot- i'm still looking forward to mine- i'm thinking a dishwasher might do a better job!!

Have just requested FB wagon group admission!! need to see Tinks princess and she's not yet my FB friend so i can't see yet!!

I was ill this morning so DS isn't at nursery for the second day running- hopefully i'll be fighting fit tomorrow and able to hobble there and drop him off!! Have just ordered my food shopping to come a week tomorrow, so an prepared on food etc. DD's clothing came from Uttam yesterday, its lovely, but they've charged me wrong i think- was supposed to be in 3 for 2 so i worked it out at just under £22 and they've charged me £26.85.... should I email them asking for the difference refunded??

Hi Glask- I'd give them a ring or email. Doesnt seem fair if the amount of order isnt right.

You sound v organised today despite being ill. Are you still sufferning with MS or is this SPD pain?

My MS died off a few weeks ago really, only sick once a week or so now which is ok.... The SPD pain is constant, i'm learning to live with it i suppose, some days its worse than others (ie yesterday hence my mega moan in the morning!!) but i think i've just got a bit of a bug today, DS seemed like he was run down with something yesterday, think i may have got it!!

right i'm off now... still feeling a bit sick- so gonna veg out on the sofa and watch some TV while the kids are behaving!!

BF has gone to pot. He just keeps crying and I can hear his tummy rumbling. So I made him a bottle. I am annoyed with myself but I have realised it is for the best. We're planning a third so maybe I will get it right then.

I might have a break from MN(I doubt it though) I find myself comparing myself to the Dec 08 ladies as they all seem to be BF so amazingly.

I refer to my Dh as 'Pig-pen', it's the little boy off Charlie Brown who wanders around with a dirty dust cloud constantly around him

He is slowly getting better but only since this pg when I was put on bedrest, as he had to take some time off to do everything and I think was driven nuts by the kids dropping stuff all over.
I nearly died with shock when he uttered those immortal words "can we just tidy up after ourselves, as we go" .

I think I agree with Glask, they don't really get any better.

I hope mine doesn't revert after the baby comes along, I've got used to the extra help

LaTour I'm so sorry, have posted on the other thread. Hope your Dh and Ds are okay without you.

Hello! Have just finsihed sending a load of marked essays back electronically to work, so feel wiped out! DD1 off school sick too (had to collect her at lunch yesterday)so pretty snowed under but wanted to say hi!
KAYZ, sorry for rubbish night. I nearly posted at beginning of week when things were going well that it may get worse before it gets better (assume you're doing some form of controlled crying)as that's the way it seems to work for me. Hold on in there - you're doing great, esp with a newborn too
SES, know what you mean about the mess! dh's thing is leaving his clothes on floor wherever they get taken off . Apart from that though, we pretty much share things oput, though has been a slow process getting there. Think it's good if you both acknowledge you're messy, and that for practica reasons something gets sorted. Good luck!
GLASK, would def contact UTTAM as while the 3 for 2 didn;t show up for me on computer page, it did on paperwork sent with goods. Stupid question, but is everything you ordered from Clearance? Think this is only section that applies to 3 for 2. My stuff also arrived and is lovely
LATOUR, so sorry to read what you're going through. Ny thoughts are with you Take care xxx
Hello to everyone else - sure I've missed loads

Ooh I could just eat a Creme Egg. Just thought I'd share that nugget of info.

Hi Diege, not long for your scan now is it?
