4ever I saw that about the little girl in Croydon. Horrific. When I saw it in the paper I couldn't believe how close to the road their flat was.

I don't watch obem any more, it might make me broody (too late as dh had the snip 2 weeks ago!) but yes there was a thread on here last night about the episode.

So I'm in hospital with ds, of course I am, we are supposed to be going on holiday tomorrow! I brought him in to a&e at 6 this morning as he'd been having breathing difficulties all night due to a chest infection. He's had a few nebulisers & is sleeping now so fingers crossed we get out later.

Oh gosh mls your poor Ds! Shock Hope your both home now and he's made a speedy recovery for your trip away? Am i remembering rightly you suffer with bad asthma yourself? Is that what's triggered this for Ds... Poor things... Sad

Still in hospital! They have wheeled over a camp-bed & dh brought my jim-jams & a few other bits & pieces. Well remembered about my asthma 4ever. Unfortunately I have probably destined my poor children to lifetimes of wheeziness, what with my knackered old lungs. Ah well I'm sure there will be better treatment for this kind of thing when they get older & actually I am thanking my lucky stars. There are some poor kids in this children's unit with far worse things.

Hoping we may be able to catch a later ferry tomorrow.

Thanks 4ever. She's had a wonderful day and the cake was a success- Phew! Wink

MLS Hope DS is ok and you're all on holiday now .

MummysLittleSunbeams · 29/03/2013 22:28

I'm glad she had a good birthday Neeko. I can't believe she's 3, has her behaviour improved? I think her & my dd2 are two peas in a pod. I'm hoping that by the time she's 3 in oct she will have calmed down & stopped deliberately trying to wind me up soooo bloody much! I hate that I'm such a shouty mummy with her but that girl pushes my buttons!

So we got out of hospital this morning & are now in the Isle of Wight after catching a later ferry than planned. Ds is much better but has to have 10 puffs of ventolin every four hours, even through the night. Confused Now our problem is dd2 - I was shocked when I saw her when I came home today as her skin was awful. I'd taken her to the gp on wed with increasing eczema patches & she has a stronger cream to use. This evening she looks like she's covered in hives & the skin on her face is red & patchy. Another holiday of poorly children...... ahh well.

Happy Easter everyone [busmile]

Sorry for being awol, life just so busy and now training for Race for Life on top of it all.

Quick catch up before we head to the caravan. According to my trusty i-phone its to be sunny in St Andrews all week!

neeko belated and huge happy birthday wishes to H, I'll bet you gave her a day to remember [busmile]

mls what a time you're having with the tiddlers Sad. You always sound so strong but bet you have your moments of crumpled tissues and manic worrying. Glad DS is better, hope DD2's skin gets better and you all enjoy the IOW

4ever nearly 25 weeks now [busmile]. It is such a milestone isn't it? So so Sad to read about the freak accident and your DD's friend. So cruel and random and beyond comprehension. Hope they are getting lots of support which I'm sure they are.

mrskate try and be good to yourself and remember and squeeze DS just that little bit tighter.

moon hope you're doing OK xx

rumours hope you're doing OK too honey xx

to everyone else. Better go and load the car. This family can never be filed under the banner travel lightly [bugrin]

Happy belated birthday to littleneekonumbertwo glad she had a lovely day [busmile]

moonmrs · 30/03/2013 19:53

BUNNY SMILIES! [bugrin]

Happy Easter to everyone, hope you're all enjoying a nice break. May the Easter bunny bring your little ones lots of eggs, and plenty of mini eggs for the grown ups [busmile]

Neeko · 31/03/2013 14:57

Happy Easter! Smile Smile

[buhmm] I've eaten too much chocolate!!!

littlebellsmum · 31/03/2013 19:18

Happy easter all - just spent the day at my mums 70th birthday at her twins house with the very extended family. Babybelle was a star, running around in her bunny ears and eating vast amounts of chocolate. Now on way to mil's for a few days in the frozen north.
mls so pleased you made your holiday - poor dd2. And I know what you mean about buttons - ds pushes all his dads buttons and gets such a hard time. Am hoping a few days of r&r will improve relations!

neeko good news on the cake. I'm starting to plan BB's party now and am thinking of the cake!

4ever I had heard about the buggy accident but reading the details had me in tears, that poor poor mother. Hope you've had a lovely easter with your ddddd.

rumours at our age, we shoud know when to stop eating chocolate!

Finally, we have had a bit of a chocolate disaster - come away on holiday and have forgotten the kids easter eggs! Ah well, more chocolate to eat when we get home!

Hope moon is eating all the choclate you can - pregnancy means you can get away with it, have you got a dress for that wedding yet?

And our lovely mrskate keep eating the mini eggs - they don't take the pain away but they do taste nice!

Love to everyone else

moonmrs · 31/03/2013 20:18

Its a sad day when you can't join in with Easter eggs. Since being pregnant, I have gone right off sweet stuff, I have always had a sweet tooth and its gone! I shared a little bit of dh's egg but it didn't taste very nice [bushock] My mum came over yesterday, she brought dh an egg and some beer, and me cheese and biscuits lol.

No dress for the wedding yet, am putting it off, but know I need to find something soon. Bought my first maternity top from eBay in the week, all felt a bit strange, I don't want to jinx anything, but I can't keep squeezing into my clothes for much longer now.

cupcakefairy · 31/03/2013 20:26

Hi ladies, happy easter all :)
mls I can't believe the time of it you've had ShockShock you poor thing being in hospital and still having a poorly dd on holiday :( you don't get much luck with holidays. How is her skin looking now? Hope she's still ok in herself and you can all enjoy the holiday!
I was Shock to read about your dh having the snip! Does it feel strange to know those days of charting and temping and white-coating are well and truly over?? Our resident guru hanging up her babymaking hat :)

neeko very belated happy birthday to your H (sorry!) so glad the cake went well. Show us??

lbm I can't believe you're planning dd2's birthday already! I haven't even started thinking about my two yet (both their birthdays are v close to your dd2's!) I need to get some cake ideas! I love this that I saw recently somewhere Grin

4ever what a horrible thing to have happened- I hadn't heard about it :( so sad to know you met her and your dds played together. It's just unimaginable. I also cried BUCKETS at OBEM this week. The most I've ever cried watching it :( Like neeko said, that moment they were told baby wouldn't survive and you could see the doctor holding back tears, the feeling in my chest was just horrible. Hope you're feeling ok anyway lady and not letting all these distressing things get to you too much. Keep rubbing that belly... are you seeing movements on the outside yet?

sabs how are you doing too lady? Thinking of you.

moon are you feeling any kicks yet?? I think I felt them about 14/15 weeks with ds1...oooh so exciting!!

rumours I too have eaten too much chocolate. The boys have been given so much and we don't really like them having chocolate much so dh and I will just have to eat most of it, what a nightmare eh??

We've had a lovely easter weekend though -ds1 loved his little animal hunt around the garden. And hooray, another day off tomorrow :):)

cupcakefairy · 31/03/2013 20:27

Aww moon no chocolate! Poor you! Although I have to say I do prefer savoury stuff myself so cheese and biscuits sounds lovely!! I was saying to dh while looking at our huge pile of chocolate "I wish we'd just bought loads of kettle chips instead" Grin
And well done you buying maternity clothes!

Happy Easter ladies [bugrin]

Have to say to moon am also a huge sweet tooth, but in most pregs went off choc too, except this one, so def reckon you're having a girl now!

Waves to everyone, Im beyond tired, did other older mums really have overwhelming moments of exhaustion in this stage of pregnancy? Is it harder as we get older?

OP posts:
moonmrs · 01/04/2013 19:09

4ever everyone else except me thinks I'm having a girl too! And I know I'm behind you, but my tiredness has never seemed to have improved, everyone says by 12 weeks you start to feel better, I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and still exhausted! All worth it though.

cupcake no I haven't felt movements yet, starting to get impatient! Dh maintains he's been able to feel something for the last few weeks, when I'm asleep in bed. I keep thinking maybe I've felt flutters, but then it turns out to be a gurgle or trapped wind [bublush]

Hand holds for mrskate for tomorrow, will be thinking of you lots (is it tomorrow or did I get the wrong day?)

Neeko · 01/04/2013 20:28

Moon I was coming on to wish Mrskate luck for tomorrow too, so something must have been mentioned about tomorrow. Hope you're ok Mrskate

Moon That's really interesting about the no chocolate thing. Will be waiting to see if 4ever is right.

4ever Think the exhaustion is less to do with your age and more to do with having a near three year old ball of energy to keep up with this time as opposed to flopping on the couch last time. At least that was the major difference for me!
DD2 randomly bit DD1 today and drew blood! [Sad] Totally unlike her and a very difficult one to parent.

Neeko · 01/04/2013 20:36

Cupcake How's the steal the DC's chocolate save the DC's teeth campaign going? Wink

LBM I can just imagine the look on the DC 's faces when they realised you didn't have their eggs.

Rumours Between DD2's birthday and Easter, the sweet stuff I've eaten this long weekend is ridiculous! Must stop creating a cake buffet each time we have a party especially one with guaranteed leftovers

cupcakefairy · 01/04/2013 22:13

neeko I feel sick looking at all the chocolate!! Way too much.. actually quite looking forward to it being gone so I can start dieting again! Bought some super skinny jeans at the weekend that are just a little too skinny at the moment so definitely need to lose the last few pounds!

moon 16 weeks!! So exciting! Movements won't be long now!

4ever I agree with neeko! I was a million times more tired pregnant with ds2, it's exhausting with a toddler to look after too!

MrsKate · 01/04/2013 22:14

Hi girls just popping in to say yeah scan is tomorrow at 9am, just want it over and done with so I can move on and get my head around it and get back to whatever normal is Sad

Thanks for remembering neeko and moon xxxx

Neeko · 02/04/2013 07:38

Here's my hand Mrskate and a big hug. Hope they don't keep you waiting.

Cupcake Super skinny jeans? Envy I'd settle for being able to fit into slightly thinner ones! Grin I was good yesterday though

Going to see my friend's new baby girl today at last. Can't wait for a cuddle of her happy ending.

moonmrs · 02/04/2013 08:18

Here's my hand too mrskate will be thinking of you.
