Yay thanks for creating the thread cupcake.

My ears are aching today so I have a hot water bottle on them. Already taken two paracetamol today which did stop the ache but I don't want to take another ideally.

DH has a cold so maybe it's part of that. This little girl is really running out of room, constantly feeling her limbs poking out of my skin now.

Siarie · 05/02/2015 17:08

Oh here's my bump picture that I do for my blog, this was Monday!

Ducky23 · 05/02/2015 17:31

Hey Smile

Have been to take dd some flowers and been for a meal and a large glass of wine Smile

Cupcake I know exactly how you feel about h making you loose confidence, I'm exactly the same. I used to be quite outgoing and confident, now I'm quite shy and quiet Blush

iamdivergent · 05/02/2015 17:43

Thanks for the new thread cupcake Thanks

Happy Birthday to your dd ducky I hope it wasn't too difficult for you and dh xx

lillamyy1 · 05/02/2015 18:22

I have exactly the same thing siarie - I keep finding a hard lump and try to work out of it's his head or bum! Also my little fella gets hiccups all the time! Like 3 times a day! I wonder if it annoys him it annoys me a bit sometimes Blush Poor little chap. When he really stretches out it feels a bit uncomfortable - it's probably going to to be very uncomfortable in a few weeks!
What's your blog about siarie?
Ducky I hope you felt a little bit better after putting some flowers for your DD.
Cupcake, it's great you treated yourself - you deserve it Grin

Ducky23 · 05/02/2015 18:29

Lil my little man always had hiccups and he's the same now!

Bearsinmotion · 05/02/2015 18:39

Hello :)

Cupcake92 · 05/02/2015 18:44

Ducky that's lovely u went and gave her flowers Flowers and I think u deserve that meal and wine!! :)
I hate how H has took away my confidence. I can't even eat Infront of him without feeling horrible cuz he always makes a comment about how much I eat or what ive got to eat or how I eat it etc. :( I don't get him. He's horrible and disgusting to me one minute then the next he's being lovely to me.
I had a lovely ex boyfriend. We only split because he moved away, if he'd stayed I know id still be with him now. He was so different to DH and so so so lovely and actually loved me for me.

Wow Siarie! That's a big difference from the last pic of ur bump!

Lill thanks :) DH did comment on why I'd spent so much money "for nothing" so he says. Told him I wanted to pamper myself and feel nicer. And my DS had hiccups all the time and came out and always hiccuped haha!

It's so strange how similar our H's are cupcake! Shock you wouldn't think I'm shy or anything as I'm heavily tattooed so people think il be a bit crazy but I'm not!Confused

Hi bears! How are you?

lillamyy1 · 05/02/2015 19:36

Hi Bears, what's new?
Ducky you've got loads of tattoos?! Cool! I didn't imagine you like that - don't know why though Grin it's weird how you kind of imagine what people look like (or is it just me?!) I really hope you get your confidence back Ducky Flowers it's horrible that men can affect how we feel about ourselves so strongly. Do you get to go out and do things with friends to cheer you up when you're down?

Ducky23 · 05/02/2015 19:56

Yea lil Grin I'm one of them people most mumsnetters hate :,) I have my arms, legs, stomach, back, chest, neck and hands done Blush and I formula feed! I'm a mumsnetters worst nightmare Grin

It's crazy how you picture people to be isn't it!

Unfortunately I lost all my friends when I got with h Sad tey said I shouldn't be with him and obvs I didn't listen Sad the new friends I got then were all really into partying and stuff which I don't really like and they're mutual friends so I don't really have anyone to talk to about this stuff in RL Hmm my god I sound so sad!

Cupcake92 · 05/02/2015 20:19

Ducky I love tattoos I have them all up my arms and of course I'm planning on getting more. They are addictive right?!
Have u stolen my life or something?!!??
Most of my friends stopped talking to me because of my DH!!
My bestest ever friend ive know for years and years didn't want anything to do with me all because of DH. Said he wasn't good and I shouldn't be with him. And said he would send her horrible messages to get lost and not talk to me. So she didn't want anything to do with me if I was with him :(

I only really have one friend I see often and that's the one whips getting married lol!

lillamyy1 · 05/02/2015 20:35

That's rubbish of your friends to f* you off like that! I've disapproved of friends' partners before but never let it get in the way of our friendship.
Maybe now puce got the little man you could join some mum and baby groups and meet some new people? That's what I'm planning to do Grin

Ducky23 · 05/02/2015 20:39

It's mad cupcake! It's like were the same person!!!!! That's what happened with my good friend Sad it was a guy, he told me when it all went wrong he will be there for me but I guess he got fed up after a couple of years Blush and changed his number and deleted Facebook and things Hmm

I was supposed to be on the first tattoo programme that Katie piper did (it was put to me it was going to show tattoos in a 'positive way' obviously it didn't!) but then I got pg with dd so had to pull out! Lucky I did otherwise I would look like a prat! I was going to be getting my hands done on it Grin

Bearsinmotion · 05/02/2015 21:46

Hey everyone :).

I'm doing ok, starting to struggle with work a bit now. Also DD has been ill for the past week and I have had really bad toothache so now finally on antibiotics. One more week at work then I can relax DS will definitely not arrive early.

I love tattoos too, only have two so far though Grin

Cupcake92 · 05/02/2015 23:04

Omg ducky! I watched that programme Grin it was her basically saying. "Don't do it! It looks awful! You'll ruin ur life!" Lol!! I love every one of my tattoos :) they all have a special meaning.

Hey bears! Sorry u and ur DD arent feeling too good! :( hope ur both better soon! When are u due bears?

OP posts:
lillamyy1 · 05/02/2015 23:08

Hope you and DD get better very soon Bears! Flowers

LuluJakey1 · 05/02/2015 23:37

I wouldn't criticise anyone for having tatoos- it is a personal choice, but I hate them. Have never seen one I have liked or thought looked good. But as I say, not judging anyone, just don't get it at all. Neither DH nor I have any.

Ducky, well done getting through today. Must have been a very hard day.

Siarie- that is a proper baby bump now.

AF has arrived! First time since DS.

We must have babies due now very soon.

DS slept through the night almost last night, he went from 11.30pm until 4.40am. Longest yet! DH fed him at 4.40am and changed him and put him in the bed between us for half an hour. then when he got up for work put him in his moses basket and he slept until half 9 and I had a lie in! Yaay!

Cupcake92 · 05/02/2015 23:58

Wow lulu that amazing of DS! Well done him :) and I don't say this often but, yay AF!

I know this sounds weird but..... My old old boss I have on facebook and he's just been through a really tough time so I sent him a message sort of comforting him as I know how he's feeling! And the conversation goes to my troubles and my H. And he's saying men aren't like him. And that ive been blinded by his ways so that I think there's nothing better out there than him. I guess he's right as I don't see anyone else wanting me. So I'm just sticking with DH.
I don't get why I don't listen to people haha.

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 06/02/2015 01:51

Well he is right Cupcake. Most men are not like your DH. My DH isn't. I have lived with a couple that are- who were worse in fact. But I know of many men who are great dads and DHs.

Tonight, DH came in from work and wanted to:
Feed DS
Bath DS
Sit and hold him while we had tea
Lie on the floor with DS while DS had tummy time.
Watch TV with him asleep on DH's chest.

He has also, given me a big hug and kiss, told me he loves me, discussed my day with me and his day with me, made me laugh lots, loaded the dishwasher (not his strongest point but still), ironed a shirt and trousers for tomorrow and made cups of tea.

Some men are good ones and would treat you well. They are not queuing up because you are at home with DH and they have not met you yet!

Why, why, why am I wide awake?????

LuluJakey1 · 06/02/2015 07:59

Cupcake, I have changed my mind. DH has irritated me no end this morning. If he had not gone to work, I might have throttled him. My advice today is stay in the house, lock the doors so your DH can't get back in, and avoid all men- except DS of course. Grin

Ducky23 · 06/02/2015 08:14

I still haven't has AF, I don't think Confused do you think I should be worried?

My ds is a grump this morning! He's still up 2ce a night.

Cupcake there's probably a couple of good eggs out there but I know how you feel, trapped. Hmm

Siarie · 06/02/2015 09:11

Haha come on ladies there are plenty of good eggs. People aren't without their faults but it's how you deal with them through compromise.

The men in your lives Ducky and cupcake are selfish which doesn't work for you because you see that. They too will have their perfect matches out there, ladies who love to baby and pamper their men with little or no give back. There's nothing wrong with it if people are genuinely happy, but the worst thing you can do is see the flaws, see they are compatible and try and change someone.

My dad is selfish, but my mum likes caring and catering. She might disagree with me but you can see it. She's much happier now she has two of my brothers at home to look after and the one who moved out has fallen back into being lazy (not tidying up etc).

It works for them all, what wouldn't work would be if my mum was unhappy with the arrangement lol. I hope you see what I mean?

Live is too short to spend it unhappy, you can't be happy all of the time as external factors do come in to play but in general you need more happy days than not.

I had a crappy migraine last night which wiped out the evening for me but in general things are usually pretty great. I can't control everything otherwise people wouldn't get cancer, this baby would never move into an uncomfortable position and I'd be able to eat as much as I want without feeling like I'm competing for room.

Siarie · 06/02/2015 09:12

Aren't compatible*

And Ducky no I wouldn't think you should be worried about AF yet. You may have had one and not realised when you stopped bleeding for a bit.

lillamyy1 · 06/02/2015 12:09

There are lots of good men out there (also a LOT of rubbish ones!). I agree I with the others that no one should just settle for someone who doesn't make them happy. But I understand once you have settled down with someone how difficult and daunting it is to get rid of them! But Siarie's right, it's a waste of your life being unhappy with someone. If either of you were to leave your H's, I know it would be so so hard and stressful and upsetting but in the end there is no way you wouldn't regret it!
