Cupcake92 · 21/10/2014 21:00

Someone get my DS to bed please! :( nightmare isn't even the word!

Siarie · 22/10/2014 08:40

I went out to the cinema last night, I hope I feel as good today (haven't got out of bed yet). I'm going to miss these lie ins. My poor husband has to wake up when its dark and I get to wake up slowly every day.

I hope this month is your month cupcake!

It was so nice to be out without feeling sick, I felt myself. My actual self and for the first day enjoyed being pregnant. I haven't felt unhindered either by nausea, vomiting, heartburn, feeling full for so long it was great!

Not long for you to go now Ducky, time seems to be speeding up as Christmas approaches!

Cupcake92 · 22/10/2014 08:46

That's good Siarie! Hope u keep feeling good!! :D
And make the most of the lie ins! As much as u can! I've not had a lie in for over a year now and I so so miss them :( especially in the winter when it's so cold and u just wanna stay in bed!
And thank u :) im keeping my fx for this month!!

Ducky23 · 22/10/2014 09:13

Cupcake did you manage to get ds to bed ok?

Siarie, good to hear your feeling better now.Smile Ms can be awful Confused I had it quite badly with dd before I knew I was pg and thought I was dying!

I know! As I'm being induced it's 6 weeks(ish) now! Am 31 weeks and think I'm going for 37 weeks as I have has v bad movement anxiety and don't know how id cope longer!

Need to rant! Have been having serious issues with h, am considering the big 'D'. Just to name a few last night he text me and told me to cook him chicken for dinner for when he gets back, so I cooked the chicken, he got back and said he didn't mean that chicken he meant the other chicken and I hadn't cooked that chicken how he liked it so he won't eat it anyway Confused then he said he needed a bath so I offered to run it for him, he said he would have it in about 20 mins so I used the hot water and told him to add cold if he needed to when e got in, he just jumped straight in then went mad at me cus it was too hot Hmm then I made him a cup of tea this morning but didn't put in enough sugar so he brought the sugar into the lounge, put some in, spat his tea every where sayig it was gross then walked out leaving everything everywhere Confused I can't bloody cope with him!

Awww Ducky as I said with cupcake before, give birth first and let the hormones sort themselves out. If you still feel the same afterwards then consider your options. I know it sounds silly but you aren't yourself right now and there's a good chance you are both grating at each other.

I'm trying to do some Christmas shopping today, were going on holiday in December so I need to send the presents off early this year. That reminds me, I also need to buy summer maternity wear Hmm that's going to be interesting.

Still feeling better today, yippee!

Cupcake I was wondering, when babies nap can you sleep? Like what happens if you sleep through them crying? I'm hoping I'll be able to sleep when the baby sleeps until the nights get longer. But what about when they start being able to walk or crawl!?

Cupcake92 · 22/10/2014 10:15

He eventually fell asleep at 10:30pm! :( lol! Can't wait for these therth to pop through!
And Ducky, I hate how much ur H sounds like my H! Think about ur decision carefully but remember u need to be happy for baby to be happy and healthy. Or u'll spiral into a depression because ur coping with his stress and stress of a newborn.

Siarie, the biggest secret to motherhood is to sleep whenever ur baby sleeps! No matter what! U will always hear them cry don't worry about that. I was such a deep sleeper before DS but now as soon as he moves that's it I'm awake.
DS is walking, as soon as he started he cut down his naps from 2 to 1 a day, now, I clean whilst he has that nap. So I only sleep at night now. Haha. But that sleep is enough for me now as I'm so used to it. But seriously u HAVE to sleep when the baby sleeps when they are newborn. Ull find its a lot easy to cope through the day and night if u do that :)

Cupcake92 · 22/10/2014 10:18

Therth??? What is therth?? I actually meant Teeth! Haha Grin

Ducky23 · 22/10/2014 10:18

I'm going to see what happens when ds is born but this has been going on for awhile now Hmm

I've almost finished my Xmas shopping! Grin Just waiting for pay day to get the last few bits.

I have a bag saying 'baby's 1st Christmas' and have stuffed it full of toys and things Grin ds won't have a clue what's going on but I can't leave him out, but once I started I couldn't stop buying things!

Ducky23 · 22/10/2014 10:19

Ducky23 · 22/10/2014 10:20

Still no lulu? Confused

OP posts:
Siarie · 22/10/2014 10:29

Hmm not sure where she is, maybe she pops on the check periodically so doesn't update as often now?

As it turns out, providing everything goes to plan and baby is born ok my babies first Christmas is going to be in Australia! My PIL phoned yesterday to say that some of our family over there have invited us over next year. We had always planned to do a big trip over in a few years as we've not seen that side of the family since they moved. So that will be interesting, not that it will remember it!

Can't wait to be able to do the big build up to it when children know what's going on.

Cupcake92 · 22/10/2014 11:00

Oh gosh I can't afford Xmas this year so Im dreding it!

Haha Ducky u said 'terth' too Grin

Oo Australia sounds nice fir next Xmas siarie :)

Again I've struggled getting DS to bed. Put him in his cot at 8pm and he screamed for an hour. Really screamed and got so worked up, hate seeing him like that. And now.... Well he's fallen asleep on my chest haha Grin he really needs to start going to bed and falling asleep in bed again.
H is on bloody Fifa so no tv for me downstairs! Angry gets me so angry as all I wanna do is sit on the sofa with a cuppa and watch my programmes and relax! I NEVER get to do that :( I'm always looking after DS ot working so I never get to just sit down and chill. And tonight DS so wanted to play with his dad and kept trying to climb up the sofa to get his attention.. Obv his dad ignored him and carried on tapping away at his stupid phone. Well I shouted 3!! Times at DH to grab DS as he was about to fall off. and I rele shouted as I couldn't get to him in time. And DS fell off of course and rele hurt his head. DH said "u shouldn't let him climb on the sofa! Can't u just play with him?"
Tried to explain DS wanted him as he hadn't seen him all day but DH said he just wanted to "rest" as it's been a long day. No offence but I never get to rest. Ever.

Sorry for the rant :)
