I can't wait until we start ttc again. I think there are about 4 of us. It's quite sad that the last baby is here. It'll be BFP's soon.

IDOBisamummy · 06/12/2009 12:43

CONGRATULATIONS MOOS

Looking forward to seeing some pics of Felicity (love the name BTW).

Sorry, dashing today, will catch up with everyone else later.

essenceofSES · 06/12/2009 13:07

YAY!!!! Moos!!!
Congratulations!!

Really pleased for you and I also love the name Felicity

We'll have to decide whether our next thread will be under conception or post-natal as I don't think we're ante natal (at the moment!)

Kayzr · 06/12/2009 13:19

Yeah we should have the next thread in post natal.

DS1 is really poorly. He has a cough and a cold. DS2 is coming down with it too. DS1 keeps having an hour or so where he is fine and he is running about but then is really bad. I really can't get it as I have a real busy week!!

bumpsnowjustplump · 06/12/2009 16:48

Congratulations Moos!! Lovely name. Sounds like it went smoothly, hope it did too. Our last wagon baby (for now) - ooh, am feeling all emotional. How amazing that it's nearly a year between the first and last and that we've all been talking for so long. Did anyone actually wait 'til their planned date to start ttc, or did everyone fall off the wagon early? I know I did, but that was only because I had to. Bet it won't be too long before we get our next honk...

Diege, if you're lurking, hope you're settled into new house well.

Can't - did you end up taking DD1 back to A&E for her leg today? Hope she is getting better.

Tink - well done on finding the outfit for DD1, can't be easy as everything seems to be in bright colours in the shops.

Can't remember anything else I've read, off to bed soon, had a great Christmas party at ours yesterday afternoon, but DC were late to bed and that did not bode well for a good night, so hoping tonight is better. Monday tomorrow again already and only 5 weeks of mat leave left My mindset says it all - am going back to a 6-month project role and will see how it goes and already plotting to see what I could do to bring money in yet be at home more...

Hope everyone had good weekends.

Kayzr · 06/12/2009 22:01

I didn't wait. I was going to TTC from September and actually started in Febuary!!! I so blame the wagon for being a bad influence on me.

IWroteOffLightningMcQueen · 07/12/2009 03:28

Morning, well at least I think it's morning!!

Moosy, huge congratulations!!! Gorgeous name, hope you are both doing well and settling down.

Am feeling rather broody myself (didn't think I'd ever say that again!) think it must be all these new babies! Everywhere they are!

We had DS2's bday yesterday, even though it's actually today, friend came over from Accy with her kids, so they had a little tea party of sorts, she is TCC'ing so lot's of baby talk, obviously my sister's twin's were born so have been talking babies all week with mum and various sister's, and now the final wagon baby, of this generation at least! Can't believe I am broody though, thought M's pregnancy was enough to put me off for life, it's taken a year but that craving for that newborn smell and the actual giving birth is back. If I could just do the giving birth and the first few days and then send them off to someone else I'd do it at least once a week, problem is, I end up sort of liking them, and then I keep them, and then I end up with children, not babies, everywhere, and they're not half as lovely!!

Actually, they're not too bad, my gorgeous first born did something so sweet yesterday, I was welling up big style, I got two 'Happy Birthday Brother' cards, one Bob the Builder, one Roary the Racing Car, I asked DS1 to choose which one he wanted, and to write them out one from him and one from Mikey, so he picked the Roary one for himself, he wrote on it, with no prompting or clues, "To George, You're my number one star, Love Thomas" and a load of kisses, I just thought it was so damn cute. (Those of you not familar with Roary, it's a telly programme, and the song goes "Rrrrroooary the racing carrrr, Rrrrooary the number one star.....")

Bloody hell, I really should go to bed, thing is, I got a leeetle teeny tiny bit tipsy, just a little bit(!!) and fell asleep so have had a night's sleep, came down at 1.30, emptied the dishwasher and filled it back up, cleaned the kitchen sides down, swept and moped the floor, cleared up all the new toys and put them away, done some xmas shopping online, and am still wide awake. And now wondering just how we'd work as a family of 6...! God if my DH read this he'd drop down dead after a massive heart attack and then be quick footing it to re-arrange his snip!! LOL have visions of a dead guy running so fast to the hospital he's leaving smoke behind him, with his trousers round his ankles, shouting "quick, chop it off, nowwwwwww!"

And I really shouldn't think about getting pregnant, it seems to be all it takes to get pregnant for me! And as much as I would love to give birth again, if I were to actually get pregnant I would be absolutely shitting it, to put it mildly!

Am really rambling now, wondering just how much I had to drink, I can't still be drunk, don't feel it! I am starving, haven't eaten anything except a few twiglets since Saturday night, but other than more twiglets and other fattening snacks we've nothing I can just go and grab, have lost nearly a stone since we moved, am not risking putting 2st back on for the sake of some marmite coated sticks! And am far too lazy to make a sarnie or something! It's nearly half three in the morning, am not in the mood for a sarnie anyway!

Think I shall save all of your eyes and do some more shopping or something, Moosy again huge congrats chick, can't wait for more details, (can I borrow her for a couple of days please, I'll give her back!)

cantmummyhaveabreak · 07/12/2009 07:56

Morning...

Just popping in before the school run.

DD1's leg seemed much better from saturday and she walked to the shops and back near my sisters house!! So i'm gonna walk her to nursery and back today, gonna set off a tad early to give her time but she will be walking it!!

Was really ill all sat night and yesterday, still dont feel too good but school calls. DH is off again tomorrow though so that should be alright.

Kayzr · 07/12/2009 08:28

Morning.

I am seriously considering divoricing H. He is doing my fucking head in at the minute. I could honestly kill him and bury him under the bloody patio.

Will be back later when he is at work.

Hope you are all ok.

IWroteOffLightningMcQueen · 07/12/2009 10:14

Morning, again! Am shattered now, have been awake since 1.30.

What's he done Kayz? (Thanks for the text BTW!)

essenceofSES · 07/12/2009 10:24

DS slept for over 6 hours last night for the first time ever!!! He was asleep from about 6.50pm-1.05am!!!

Kay - what's happened?
How's DS1 doing?

Lightning - Any chance of a nap for you today?

I'm def starting to get broody but trying to ignore it as I just don't know how I'd cope with a) being pg with O or b) having 2 of them to cope with!

Waiting in this morning for the chimney sweep. He was meant to come last Wed but got delayed so hoping he's nice and prompt today.

DH wants to know what I want for Christmas. I don't know!!

Kayzr · 07/12/2009 10:24

He is always in a grump. Always having a go at me and the kids and I am sick of it. He has seen the GP loads, been seeing a pysciatric(sp) nurse and they all say it is just stress. But he says he doesn't feel stressed. He yelled at me because I did the washing up this morning just because he said he would do it later and I wanted it done now.

I've told him if he yells at me and the kids again he will be leaving on the 1st January.

essenceofSES · 07/12/2009 10:38

That sounds rough Kay. Does he have anything in particular to be stressed about or do you think it may be depression?
I think you're right to tell him he needs to do something about it if it carries on.

Kayzr · 07/12/2009 11:04

I don't think he has much to be stressed about. Plus he says he doesn't feel stressed. The GP has said he isn't depressed and DH doesn't think he is depressed. The nurse he was seeing thinks it is because this is how his parents were so he sees constant rowing as normal.

IWroteOffLightningMcQueen · 07/12/2009 11:26

Bloody hell Kayz, I thought you were saying it a bit TIC, didn't realise you were serious, sorry.

How long has he been like this for? Do you really want him to leave? I was faced with it earlier this year and it isn't a nice place to be, but we have got over it (mostly - he's still working on the rest, but he is trying, and that is good enough for me for now) You have to do what is right for you.

IWroteOffLightningMcQueen · 07/12/2009 11:28

Sorry Ses, no, no chance of sleep, DS2 and 3 are still poorly, wouldn't trust myself to wake up!

Am still starving though! I really should eat at some point today!

Kayzr · 07/12/2009 11:52

He has always been a bit grumpy. Like 99% of the men I know. But he has been a lot worse since he lost his job in January and had to go back to his old job. He complains that he doesn't feel like he supports us. He keeps lookng for other jobs but there is nothing.

tinkerbellstinkerbells · 07/12/2009 11:56

hi kay soz crossed posts - the job situation must be hard for your dh - cant be easy losing a job and having to go back to an old one!!
my dh gets very stressed i dont work so he feels even more pressure to support us doesnt help that i spend

OP posts:
cantmummyhaveabreak · 07/12/2009 14:37

Hi Kayz- sorry to hear things are a bit strained. Do you think he's worrying about money/xmas etc... it is common for people to start feeling down if things aren't as they'd like them to be... xmas is one of them times when he may have an 'ideal' of what it should be like...?? dunno really- just brainstorming and it's something that came to mind. I know you say sometimes that money is a little tight...

Anyway- both DD's are fast asleep and i have to go get Ds in half an hour... really dont wanna wake DD1 but she'll be half asleep if i dont bite the bullet soon!! PLUS- she's walking!!!! she walked to and from nursery today!! Wuhoo!! No big bus of a double pram!! Gonna stick it on freecycle mid-week i think just to get it shifted!!

Kayzr · 07/12/2009 15:30

He hates Xmas. He says his parents always rowed really badly over Xmas so he really struggles to act excited for the kids. I'm not bothered about a present but he refuses to not buy me one.

I don't wan him to leave at all but at the same time I refuse to let the boys grow up in the same environment that DH did so they end up like him.

The boys are still not 100%. DS1 was fine this morning but is now feeling ill again. DS2 fell asleep on me earlier which was so nice. He hasn't done that since like august when we started doing GF on him.

I hope Diege has got moved well.

tinkerbellstinkerbells · 07/12/2009 18:17

i bought bracken first shoes so cute

OP posts:
essenceofSES · 07/12/2009 20:56

Kay - I can relate to parents rowing a lot as mine did. Seems to have sent me the other way though as I hate arguing. Sometimes I think it makes me a bit of a pushover. I'm sure there's a happy medium.

Tink - yay for shoes!

Cant - must be a relief to have DD1 walking again!

Lightning - hope you got something to eat!

Chimney sweep came and reckons we've got the "Rolls Royce of fireplaces"!!!!???!

My mum went for check up at optician's today. Apparently they reckon she's got the start of cataracts! She never manages to come back from any kind of medical appointment with everything ok!

Hope Diege's move has all gone ok.
