Haha I have no bum either lulu!

Hopefully it is just stress and nothing more serious Smile

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I have a face mask on and am off for a shower and then some wine Grin

Cupcake92 · 13/09/2015 20:33

Aw ducky no wonder if uve had all that stress. So much in so little time. How uve coped is amazing :) honestly well done, I think uve been pretty strong. U can tackle this hair loss for sure! :)
Oo a face mask sounds lovely!!!

Is that the secret then Lulu? To walk loads? If so then I'm walking everywhere once DS2 is here!
Oh god.... Bums.....my bum has always been massive... It's awful!!

I've been over to my moms for a Sunday roast today! :) it's been so nice! Actually had a lovely time :)
She's coming over with my brother Tuesday evening for my birthday and we are having a takeaway :) can't wait. I'll be 23 years old!

I've been googling pre term labour signs this morning Grin I've felt awful today, intense bh, bunged up nose constantly, and this awful pressure when I stand up and walk!
I'm nervous about going into labour early. I'm past the point when I went with DS (32 weeks) so that a plus! :)

zombiemeow · 13/09/2015 21:30

23 Cupcake! I was working in London and having a great time. Fancy free and living it up! Happy Birthday for Tuesday. When you are my age your DS will be doing his GCSE's. I'll be 51 when my DS does his!

We have had a lovely weekend. DS was very well behaved with SIL but woke up at half 5 full of beans and I think has put them off for a while.

DH is being very cuddly and we are both really tired so we are going to have an early night and get some sleep. He'll want to be at work early.

I would love a bum. Not a huge one but just something. I think mine will be very bony when I am old. DH has a lovelyy bum. Muscley and architectural

I am ancient compared to you two. I had not met H when I was 25. I was with a fostering and adoption social worker and in my first year of teaching I think. He was hopeless as a DP, could lie for England.

Ducky, what a long time to wait for that appointment! It must be more than 18 months. What will it be about? You met them a while ago- when we were pregnant didn't you? I remember you saying. It must always be on your mind.

Aw bless u ducky :(
And yes mines Tuesday ! :) oo a September baby as well! I think September is the best month lol :p Grin
Tho birthdays seem to be extremely boring as u get older. Is it like that with u? I can't be bothered with mine.
DS is in nursery till 12:30 on my birthday so I'm going to use the morning to put my feet up, have a cup of tea and read a magazine :)
I've been having a dream that DS2 will be born on my birthday tho Grin

zombiemeow · 13/09/2015 22:10

Lulu I had the postmortem appt but I was too upset to take it in so they said they would send me a letter confirming everything. I had been chasing it up for over a year and got it a few months ago. at the appointment they said they couldn't find anything but the letter had absolutely loads in it including severe pre eclampsia. I took it to my health visitor as I was confused and she booked me this appointment, which was meant to be weeks ago Angry I have had to chase it up a few times. I don't think I can move on until it is all sorted.

No cupcake I'm not bothered any more, just trying to find ways of entertaining ds on that day Grin I'm hoping maybe dm will take ds for a few hours so I can have a birthday nap..... How boring!

Cupcake92 · 13/09/2015 22:37

Lulu I completely missed ur posts! They didn't come up on my phone.
Oh gosh I can't imagine DS doing GCSEs !
I'm not the adventurous type, I've never really been out drinking with friends and done all that teen stuff. All I've ever wanted was to work and have a family so I focused on that.
I'll be touring the world when I'm 40 and the kids have moved out tho :)
I'm glad u and DH had a good weekend! :)

Cupcake92 · 13/09/2015 22:38

Ducky a birthday nap sounds amazing!!!

LuluJakey1 · 13/09/2015 23:11

Well now we have come to bed and he is fast asleep and suddenly I am not tired. He is wrapped across me like a hot water bottle.

Ducky, you must be dreading it but wanting to know. Hope it helps to know and you start to get some peace of mind.

Cupcake, DH and I have two dream holidays were were going to do before we had children. Hiring a camper van and driving down the West Coast of America from Seattle throught the National Parks, Tahoe, Grand Canyon, Oregon, Death Valley etc is one and the second was to do the same in Australia. We had the notion they would be very romantic holidays. DS fettled that. We were planning the America one to go for 6 weeks in the summer when I got pregnant. We ended up with 5 days in Paris instead.

We'll have to wait until any children are grown up and away now and we'll be in our late 50s.

Cupcake92 · 14/09/2015 03:57

Lulu u'll still be young in ur 50's :) I'm sure ud be able to do that then!
America is one of my dream holidays too, travel down Route 66, and see Area 51 and sample all the best restaurants! :)

DS is awake, he's woken up with a very high temp in not sure why Confused hoping it's nothing. I've given him some medicine but we have had to come downstairs to the lounge as tbh it was quite hot upstairs. I'll take him back up once he's cooled down.
I wasn't asleep anyway, pregnancy insomnia is present with me. DS is low .... Very low and it's agony in my pelvis.

zombiemeow · 14/09/2015 06:48

Oh lulu that sounds amazing! I would love to go to America but I am beyond petrified of flying. I have always wanted to go to Vegas and Area 51 Grin

Hope you managed to get some sleep cupcake and ds is feeling better. He's been through the wars recently. No idea what is going on with my ds but he's been up pretty much since 2am. He would just cry and I'd give him his dummy and he'd settle.... For 10 mins, then he'd be up again. It worries me as his cot is on books one end and he stands up and shakes the bars, I worry incase he knocks it over or something.

We have a busy day today, have to go for my blood tests this morning, then we have to go into town to collect a few things, then we have to do the weekly shop.

Cupcake92 · 14/09/2015 20:06

Ducky how did the blood test go today? Do u know when u'll get the results?
Hope uve managed to sit down after ur busy day!!

My braxton hicks have now become slightly painful. :( they are so uncomfortable! The bottom of my stomach hurts when I get one. He feels so so so so low down it feels like he's going to fall out honestly!
Saw my nan today and she had brought some sugar free digestive biscuits!! They taste just the same! I'm going to buy some tomorrow as a birthday treat :) I'm also picking up a carrot cake a lady has made me which is also sugar free! I'm so happy :) I actually get a bday cake :)

zombiemeow · 14/09/2015 20:36

It was so painful Shock they usually send me to the hospital because they can never find my veins but decided to have a go. She spent about 20 mins looking for a vein then when she put a needle in she was just poking it around for ages. When I took the plaster off it was soaked in blood and now I have a bright red lump with a purple mark around it and my whole arm is aching, that's not happened before. She said I should get the results in a few days, but my vitamin thing could take a few weeks.????Have you got anything planned for tomorrow cupcake? Does your nan live close?

zombiemeow · 14/09/2015 20:37

And maybe you should get the bh checked? I was always told bh shouldn't be uncomfortable.

Cupcake92 · 14/09/2015 21:02

Oo ducky that sounds very painful!! Confused ur like me, I have awful veins! I hate when they stick a needle in and start fishing about under ur skin!
Last few blood tests I've had to have at the hospital and from my hand as my arm is impossible. I wonder why the vitamin one takes longer? Confused

Nothing planned for tomorrow, no ducky. DS is at nursery till 12:30 so I'm just gonna make the most of my morning sat eating cake and biscuits happily knowing my blood sugars aren't rising! Grin I'm actually really excited about that!Grin
Yes my nan lives close she's only the other side of the village but she's been away 2 weeks so I've not seen her.

well I've been told our oven is scrap. They are taking forever sorting it out, but they told me today that the oven is being binned and we are having a new one put in.
I was a bit concerned about how long it'll take and said I'm heavily pregnant and have a 2 year old, I could go into labour at anytime so rele it needs to be completed by the end of the week.
It's been marked 'urgent' but how fast is urgent aye!

Cupcake92 · 14/09/2015 21:02

Oh and ducky I've got a midwife appt on Friday I was just gonna ask her about the bh then Confused

Happy birthday cupcake ThanksThanksThanks????If they carry on I would get it checked because of what you went through with ds. ????Ds is up Sad he won't sleep. Desperately trying not to feed to sleep not that it works anyway

Bearsinmotion · 15/09/2015 08:43

Happy Birthday cupcake!

I think I am older than you Lulu, feel very old now!

I had a KIT day yesterday. When I went on mat leave I just supervised a student, when I go back I willhave a new student and two full time staff Shock. So went in to meet them today and talk about how we will work.

And we have exchanged!! We move into our new house on 1 October!

zombiemeow · 15/09/2015 09:04

That's great news bears! What did you do with ds when you went in? Bet it was nice to see some work friends. I do miss some of the people I used to work with!

Bearsinmotion · 15/09/2015 09:29

DS went to stay with his Aunty Linda for the day. Sounds like they had a lovely day. She is a vicar so he spent the day driving around her parish groups and being cuddled by little old ladies!

Cupcake92 · 15/09/2015 16:11

Thanks girls! :)
Had a nice day so far :) went and had my nails done whilst DS was in nursery :)

Omg that's great Bears!! Bet u can't wait to move now!!! Grin

Cupcake92 · 15/09/2015 16:16

Ducky I hope u and DS finally got some sleep!
Hope he's napped for u today.
My DS has been asleep for 1 and a half hours in nursery then has come home and been asleep since 1:30 and is still asleep now Confused
Not sure why! Hoping he's getting ill again Confused

zombiemeow · 15/09/2015 18:37

Nope he hasn't cupcake Sad I just don't know why he hates sleeping so much. I see his consultant at the beginning of October so I'm hoping he can suggest something other than sodding controlled crying. ??Sounds like you had a nice day, how did ds get on today? Did he eat? Hopefully he's just worn himself out with a busy day at nursery.
