Ahh cupcake I can imagine!

Hi bears! Grin Hope the house move goes well!

I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open and ds has not napped at all today Hmm

Cupcake92 · 14/08/2015 19:40

Mine does that a lot Bears! It's so annoying! Must be a safari thing!
Oh wow! Hope the house move goes well! How exciting :) are u going back to work part time or full time Bears?

Oh no Ducky! :( it's so hard when they don't nap! I rele hope he sleeps well tonight for u and u get a well deserved rest!

I'm exhausted after today! My mom had DS for most of the day but I had my glucose tolerance test and it was horrible! They had to get blood from my hand as they couldn't get blood from my arms as they were bruised from my last blood test on Tuesday! I had to go all the way to the other side of the hospital to get the blood clinic to draw blood from my hand then walk all the way back to antenatal for my sugary drink!
I never got to eat till 1:45pm! I was starving Grin
Going to bed with DS at 8 and having a nice cup of coffee and a slice of cake :) DS can sit and drink his milk and hopefully drift off to sleep!
DS has hardly eaten today and had a very dodgy tummy this morning at my moms :/ hope he's not getting ill

zombiemeow · 14/08/2015 20:19

I would be evil if i couldn't eat that long Grin hope ds is feeling better.

My ds sleep from about 3.30 til 5, woke up full of beans had a huge (compared to normal) dinner and two desserts! He's had two bottles since too Shock he's just starting to drift off which is good as I'm dying for a wine

zombiemeow · 14/08/2015 20:20

I wonder if lulu is having problems logging in too

Cupcake92 · 14/08/2015 20:29

Oh Ducky I was evil! I was getting very agitated! I went to kfc and wanted those new Mediterranean bites.... They were all out of them! So I may have snapped a bit at them Grin told them I'll have to just have some hot wings instead! Haha! Grin

Oo that's good!! :) well done DS ! Oh wine! I wish I could have a glass of wine!! And a fag. Sat in the garden. :/
Tho I quit smoking when I started ttc!

zombiemeow · 14/08/2015 20:40

Ohhh I missed wine when I was pregnant!

I must admit, I have had a couple of fags these past few weeks after a few drinks Confused I feel so bad about it too Confused

Cupcake92 · 15/08/2015 08:26

I miss it a lot Grin I love red wine I could drink that by the bottle! Not that I do! Blush

Don't feel bad about the fags, I think even after u quit there's always going to be that little craving always there.
When I pg with DS I stopped for the 1st time, before that I was smoking 20 a day, and I craved one so bad, so I brought a 10 pack of menthol and said that'll be my treat after DS was born! Grin I used to bath, change and feed DS in the evenings then get him to sleep, then I'd get H to watch him whilst I went outside to have a fag. It kinda helped a bit for me cuz I was in so much pain from my csection! Helped me to relax. Grin

DS was awake most of last night :( he fell asleep at 10pm and was up by 1am! He kept constantly waking and crying. He had a bad stomach yesterday at my moms and he seemed a bit in pain last night so think he had a stomach ache. He seems better atm. I'm tired tho!

zombiemeow · 15/08/2015 10:17

Oh no cupcake Confused hope sleep goes better tonight. He was doing so well!

We had an okish night. Only about 2 or 3 wake ups but last night he had his last bottle later than usual but he woke up for a feed an hour earlier than usual Shock

We have to go see mil today Hmm once again she has decided to cook something she knows I don't like (how lovely of her) and ds can't have. I don't get why she's so horrible! She hasn't seen ds is weeks and weeks, probably a couple of months and she's not bothered. He does t like her either Confused so there will be lots of screaming. I think I said before but ds will be passed around to anyone but as soon as he sees her he just screams Confused dm thinks it's because he can sense how uneasy I am round her but I can't help it, I'm always waiting for her to have a dig at me I'm not usually waiting long for it!

zombiemeow · 15/08/2015 11:00

Crap! We have to leave in a min and I just bloody burnt ds lunch Confused

Cupcake92 · 15/08/2015 11:05

Glad ur DS had a good night Ducky! :)
Oh gosh good luck with today then!! I hope ur in and out and don't have to talk to her much Grin
N oh no! Confused chop the burnt bits off??

I'm cleaning today, but I'm exhausted already! I've only done the lounge and hoovered it :(
Can't wait to have this baby and have my energy back, it's just disappeared the past few days I have none at all. Littlest thing really wears me out.

Cupcake my energy never came back Grin is ds ok now?

Hi tori! Grin Glad to hear Ollie is doing well. The jabs at first made ds sleep loads, then one or two lots of them made him miserable! Really grumpy and feeding loads.

Mil never made many snide remarks Shock how strange!

Something strange happened though, we were walking the dogs earlier, where we walk them is a massive park (2000 acres and very easy to get lost in, we know from experience) we were walking down a long path and a little girl, maybe 4 or 5 years old, comes running down. She said hello and in my sleepless daze I smiled and said hello back and she ran off in the direction we had came from. H turned around and said 'she's a bit young to be running round alone' and I stopped and was watching her and she was completely alone. I was just watching from a distance and I saw some other kids go up to her around the same age so I thought her mom must have been there and we carried on walking. About 5 mins later some people were stood on a big bit of grass (it's all trees mainly) shouting something. I said to them 'are you looking for a little girl' they said yes so I told them where she was and felt utterly shit for not actually checking that woman was her mom or asking if she needed help and they went off looking for her. But they didn't seem in the least bit worried or anything! She was very far away by that point! I found it so strange they were acting so calm and relaxed Shock

Cupcake92 · 15/08/2015 20:21

Hi Tori!! :)
Yes thanks DS had a great birthday, he loved it!
Jabs are awful :( I hated DS having them as they always seem so poorly after or their routine flies out the window! I hope ur DS starts to feed and sleep better again.

Ducky ur joking? I need energy after this one!! Grin
Oh wow! I'm shocked mil never said any snide remarks ! Shock
As for those parents of the girl, I think I'd be pulling my hair out! Possibly having a panic attack and shouting like a crazy lady!
Oh and yes! DS seems better now, he ate better at dinner, and he had a banana afterwards! Shock he's had a bath and I'm just trying to get him to sleep now. Fx for a full nights sleep!

zombiemeow · 16/08/2015 11:24

I think ds was planning on sleeping through last night Shock we didn't have a peep off him until 3.30am when his breathing monitor went off Hmm I always go running in so fast it wakes him up Hmm but he pretty much went straight back to sleep until 6 when he had a bottle then slept til 6.30.
I don't know why it keeps going off

zombiemeow · 16/08/2015 17:27

I knew it wouldn't last Hmm h has been a fucking knob him usual self today Sad

Cupcake92 · 16/08/2015 19:08

Oh gosh Ducky! It went off again?
Do u have warranty on it ?
But that's rele good sleep for DS! :)

Uh oh what's H been doing?? Angry

DS had a late nap n woke up half an hour ago :/ he'll never sleep tonight!!

zombiemeow · 16/08/2015 19:31

He's just being an idiot. I can't get things done in the week as ds doesn't nap well and he moves around so much I have to constantly keep an eye on him so the only time I can get anything done is if h watches him at the weekend but obviously h has more important things to do (like gym and playing on his phone) then he moans if I don't get something done and moans he doesn't spend enough time with dsConfused I just don't know how to win with him!

Oh no hope he's not up too late! Make him run round the garden to wear him out Grin

Cupcake92 · 16/08/2015 20:43

I find it hard too when DS doesn't nap n I have housework to do! He follows me everywhere ! Even if I only need to nip upstairs to get one thing!
I think u need to just hand DS to him n say ' I need to do some house work, keep a eye on DS'
Then just walk away.

Well DS woke up from his nap and ate a load of wedges then I made him paint some pictures Grin
We are in bed atm, but he's just wide awake and giggling at a TV programme! It's not even funny tho! Grin

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2015 15:00

Just been told I've got gestational diabetes :(
Got to have more scans and more observation on baby.
Back to the hospital tomorrow to see a midwife and doctor to talk about it and be given a blood sugar monitor. :( feeling rele scared now!

zombiemeow · 17/08/2015 15:17

Oh no cupcake Hmm I don't really know much at all about it but at least they are keeping an eye on you. Will you have to be induced because of it?

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2015 15:47

I've no idea about it either Confused I'm guessing tomorrow they will tell me everything, I'll have a scan every 2 weeks, and yes Ducky I'll be induced but only if I'm at least 1cm dilated if I'm not I have to have a csection :( :(
So I guess at least I know I'll Deffo have the baby in October and not go over lol.

zombiemeow · 17/08/2015 15:59

I don't know how true it is cupcake but I was told if it's your second you dilate earlier? I was 1cm when I went in with ds but they said he wouldn't of come soon if I hadn't been induced. How you feeling about the possibility of another section?

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2015 17:31

If I remember right I was 1cm at 37 weeks with DS, I was that for ages! So hopefully I'll be 1cm by 37 weeks again.
And it terrifies me the fact I could have another csection again. Literally terrifies me :( my experience with csections isn't a good one, I rele rele don't want to go through that again.
I'm rele worried now tho Confused just want the baby to be okay

zombiemeow · 17/08/2015 17:37

It was an emcs last time though wasn't it? I was considering elcs with ds and from what I read they are very different from emcs. I can understand the disappointment in being told you wouldn't have a choice thoughHmm

Cupcake92 · 17/08/2015 18:12

Yeah it was an emcs, my friend had an elcs and said it wasn't too bad, but I rele want to go through labour Grin I wanted to experience contractions starting naturally.
Will have to see what the midwife says tomorrow. I'll get to see baby again on a scan very soon tho! :) i wonder how big he is already? Lol !
