lol at the "dry humping"

Pempe · 23/01/2009 18:18

I KNEW you'd go before me MS!!!! Sounds promising.....(with my non-existent knowledge of childbirth)

MarkStretch · 23/01/2009 18:20

I am going to wash up, hang over the birthing ball and get dd ready for bed.

I will be back later when they have stopped and we will all be very disappointed.

nkweto · 23/01/2009 18:22

MS... sounds pretty positive !

TBM - left a note on your AIBU thread, but good luck hope all is ok..

Dinky - will try and join you in the great hospital bag pack tonight.. LOL at THOM coming to beat of my aunties.. think I need it.. i suspect i will get belly bandited again !!

Laidback.. I too was very overdue last time and no real twinges now. I have told myself that if i go overdue, i dont mind if get to 09/02/09.. as i think it is a cool date !

Littlesez - yes enjoy every minute of your maternity leave !

littleboyblue · 23/01/2009 18:22

Right, have had a read through to catch up. Sorry to hear of the high BP's. MrsY I hope you don't have to be admitted until delivery either.
cats glad dd seems to be on the mend
TBM will pop onto AIBU to look at your thread there.

Hope everyone else ok, can't fully remember what I've read, but no one's had any babies so not missed anything too exciting.
Pempe Gutted, thought you were next, but now maybe MS.....

I had a moment (again) where I thought it was starting earlier, had lots of pain in bump and back and seemed to be coming in waves but I'm just wishful thinking.
Docs was fine, didn't do or say much as I'm with consultant on mon anyway, she wrote out a prescription for enough AB's to see me through 2 weeks but told me to wait to see what consultant says about it before I hand it in.
Took ds to playgroup earlier and what a nightmare. he was being quite rough with the toys and wouldn't let any of the other children touch what he was playing with so I had to keep telling him to share and raising voice which I hate doing in these last weeks, I feel so guilty, but need to at least try to keep the consistancy of what he can/can't do, so in the end we were at play group both in tears!

thehouseofmirth · 23/01/2009 18:23

MS hope it is the real thing but it does sound exactly the same as me the other week. Though mine weren't as close as 4 mins...

idontbelieveit · 23/01/2009 18:24

am going to have a curry tonight, last feast before healthy eating for breastfeeding and weightloss ensues!

MS come back and let us know, i want an update every 30mins!

littleboyblue · 23/01/2009 18:25

Hope you ok MS I'm having an early night as didn't sleep at all last night, dp got in about 3:30am just as I was dropping off, but then started telling him about how pissed off I was so the crying started and then couldn't get comfortable and now I feel well and truely fked!! MS* If it all starts and I miss it, good luck!!!!!!

nkweto · 23/01/2009 18:27

lbb.. i have been having very similar issues with my DS.. he is clingy, demanding and i dont have the energy to keep up. When he goes to nursery he is lovely and perfect and a little monster with me.. have been reduced to tears more than once..!

Dont feel guilty though... he just knows change is coming...

littleboyblue · 23/01/2009 18:27

idbi I want curry now! We're having meatballs, pasta and garlic bread.
Think we need to stop telling each other what we're all having for dinner

littleboyblue · 23/01/2009 18:29

Thanx nkweto I know it must be tough on him, although he only 17m, he must know something's happening and I suppose it's his instinctive way to let me know that he still needs me and to make sure I don't forget him which of course I never would but his survival instincts must be kicking in.....

nkweto · 23/01/2009 18:30

lbb.. i think that is exactly it, and of course we wont forget about them but they just want mama love and attention (which is fair enough)

idontbelieveit · 23/01/2009 18:32

LBB and nkweto i have been in tears with dd today as well. She had an almighty tantrum because i tried to make her swap sides while i was feeding her, she hit and kicked me and raged for about 45 mins. Left her alone to calm down in the end and have told her no dvds until tomorrow. She's been an angel all afternoon so i'm hoping it's sunk in. It's making me really worried about the whole tandem feeding thing though.

mmmm, garlic bread, mmmmm might have to get a garlic nan

nkweto · 23/01/2009 18:37

idontbelievetit... i am sure you can find lots on tandem feeding here. I cannot help as sadly DS refused the breast fairly early on...

But yes 'tantrum DS' has appeared here as well...

to think i have been worrying just about feeding one.. and keeping DS entertained.. he will not be impressed.. in the proces of buying lots of jigsaws at the moment at he loves those and they settle him down

littleboyblue · 23/01/2009 18:38

Sounds like we've all had a shit day then. I can't believe I cried at play group, thank god I'm pregnant and can blame hormones rather than just being pathetic!!
idbi..sure tandem feeding will work out, like everything else though imagine it'll take time.

What happens when both lo's are in a foul mood?

thehouseofmirth · 23/01/2009 18:45

I shouted at DS for accidentally dropping cheese on the floor...

idbi how old is dd? DS is still feeding but he's 3.5 so w're abe to talk about it and h understands he'll hav to share. Hav you read Adventures in Tandem Feeding orlooked at teh Tandem feedding info on th ekellymom site?

Just about to tuck into a second bowl of rice pudding. Yum.

thehouseofmirth · 23/01/2009 18:46

My typing's getting worse, isn't it?!

swampster · 23/01/2009 19:03

MarkStretch, focus on your wee stretchy man! Beehinds are on their way to me now...

KT1983 · 23/01/2009 19:03

How exciting MS!!

littlesez · 23/01/2009 19:04

i cried today because my hubby bought me a cd? will we have another baby today?

idontbelieveit · 23/01/2009 19:13

THOM she's 2.8 so she's not really into sharing yet although she does understand the concept. She's happy to share milk but she says baby can't share my lap, maybe the rugby hold will work out!
She pretty uch stopped feeding in November but in the last 2 weeks she's fed every day and fed to sleep the last 2 nights which she hasn't done since she was about 20 months. I think she definitely knows change is afoot cos she's been saying she wasnts to be a baby and she hates being praised if we try to praise her for anything she gets really cross. The tantrums were awful just after christmas then last week she was great but this week has been a mixture, i can't imagine my stress with ECV appointment has helped.
I keep meaning to read that book but not gettin around to it. Will have a browse of Kellymom in a bit.

idontbelieveit · 23/01/2009 19:14

i cried at neighbours

PinkTulips · 23/01/2009 19:24

ooooo MS, sounds like things are kicking off for you, regular is good.... keep moving and ball bouncing and i bet we'll have a birth announcement from you tomorrow

it was dd's playschool party today, had to drop her and her cakes there, dash into town and do the food shop (which was great fun with the supermarket car park frozen like an ice rink), then back to playschool to do party, toddler group, back home with shopping, unpack all shopping single handedly as usual because dp 'doesn't know where it all goes' (funnily enough he knows where to find it all when he wants to eat ), out into the frozen wasteland that is our garden to pick up loads of rubbish as that fecking dog has been at our bin bags again, into another town to do butchers, lidl and other random bits... in the pouring rain, back home to unpack it all and do the other 200 jobs dp could have been doing rather than sitting on his arse, then cook dinner because apparently a fry up is too complex for him too .

this is the first time i've sat down in hours and i think i've actually torn something between my legs this time as it's agonising

was having mild contractions last night but they died off again after a few hours so am joining lbb in having the ump now!

catstar, so sorry you lo is so sick with her eczema.... dp suffers badly too and i've found the trigger with him seemed to be the detergents we use... he still has to use steroid cream constantly though to avoid a flare up

MarkStretch · 23/01/2009 19:29

They have slowed right down.

Nowhere near as regular as they were.

Fucksticks.

littleboyblue · 23/01/2009 19:57

Welcome to the constantly pissed off club then PT
MS what a shame, was really excited for you (although a bit jealous).

Just quickly back to the todds playing up, (I was halfway through a message when the terror turned comp off) I think I wouldn't feel anywhere near as bad/guilty if I knew how much he understood. Atm I think he looks at me and just thinks 'mummy's shouting at me and I don't know why' poor little love.
