April 2014 ttc thread - come on baby cupcake!

[zombiemeow]

Shiny new thread and this time I got the title right!

We're all waiting for baby cupcake to come along

That is lovely Cupcake- Oscar. Hope he is up with you this afernoon

Lulu will you be going back full time? I miss work a bit, I hated the job it was horrible, but I miss the interaction with people iykwim.

Cupcake that's a lovely name hope he is out nicu asap and Back with you. How are you feeling now?

I think so Ducky, at first at least. We have been round the houses a few times with different scenarios. Full-time, part time, extended leave from work for 2 years, not working at all. DH being SAHD. But I need to see how we manage if I am full-time. I am quite well-organised at work. I do miss it but if it means DS suffers well we'll have to think again.

We'll see.

What happened to the carer jobs you were going to apply for?

Well this time of year h's hours are all over the place and we wouldn't get any help with childcare so it didn't work out worth it in the end. I didn't really want to leave ds anyway but it means money will be very very tight for a while.

But me and h have gone right down hill again recently, so will see what happens.

What does he do Ducky?

I never had any pain from my c section, like maybe a small ache in the area but that was about it. I was up walking and home within hours but I'm very odd with pain I think.

Cupcake what a lovely little man you have, so pleased it's all worked out for you

Lulu he is just very lazy and argumentative. For example, yesterday he came in from work and fell asleep on the sofa, ds went up to him and was grabbing him/ hitting him trying to get attention (at this point he wasn't actually asleep) and he just blanked him. I went in the kitchen to get ds bottle and closes the stair gate as the dogs were having their dinner and ds was hysterical, h just ignored him.
When he woke up I told him I was disgusted in him for blanking ds, he said that he couldn't keep his eyes open as he is so tired, then had a massive go at me saying I constantly call him a shit person.

Any criticism at all he tells me I'm calling him a shit person and I'm horrible

It is a bit much ignoring Ds when he was actually awake. He has seemed much better since Ds was born. Is it not just a bit of a bad patch and will improve again?

Ds is shouting and laughing because DH is playing with him. DH is shouting and laughing too. I have come upstairs with the cats for some peace and quiet. I have had a bath and am lying on the bed in the dark with a headache.

I expect Cupcake has the baby from Special Care now.

I am not sure how DS would react to another baby. Not very gently I think. He is very boisterous at the moment. But also, he is quite demanding of attention at times.

I don't know lulu, i have no idea why but it just hit me aswell, he has never once got up with ds in the mornings, or looked after him while I have a nap. He has never had ds alone before other than the odd 5 mins. He says it's because 'he doesn't deal with poo' and he can't change him as he moves around too much.

Your ds (and dh) sound like they're having a great time though although I bet your cats aren't! How many do you have? My ds seems very rough with other babies in his groups too, he tends to reach out and pinch. It was quite funny last time, he went to grab a little boys hair and I said 'no be gentle', then he looked over and kissed the boy on the head :,)

Yes baby cupcake should be back and cuddling his mommy hopefully her ds1 has met him.

We have two Ducky. They are very laid back with us and used to doing as they want but they are not very sociable with other people. They like to go out- it is fields at the back and very safe. They like the back garden too because it has trees and birds. We have to warch DS with the patio because they bring us half eaten mice and voles as gifts- just a head or a bottom half. They have adapted to DS by ignoring him and finding places he does not go where they can snooze undisturbed. They still get lots of attention and cuddles from me and DH.

I think it is a shame if your DH does not spend time with DS. A) Because of his relationship with him and B) It gives you a break if he did it and C) He is his son and he should do his bloody share.

DS is a grabber at the moment and a nipper.

And he hides DH's keys.

Well that's what I think, ds is very clingy at the moment, if I go out his sight he will scream, he's starting to do it with h now. His loss.

Haha hiding dh's keys, bet that's a good game for him. Have his teeth settled now?

I can't believe it's getting on for a year since some of the DCs on our thread were born! and that we've all been talking together for a year and a half. Whre's the time gone?! It's scary.
My DS is 6 months now!

Yes, he does not seem to have any more on the way.

Sometimes in the morning when DH is about to go to work, I hear him scrabbling round looking for the keys. They are usually down the back of the TV or under a cushion on the sofa, or in DS's toy box.

DS loves DH to bits. If anything happened to me they would be asbsolutely fine. He loves me too but he is a real Daddy's boy. He shrieks for DH when he hears him come home.

Lil I know ds is 1 the first week of December scary! How is weaning going?

Ahh lulu that's lovely, ds is a mummy's boy, very much so he is also obsessed with nanny

DS is one on 30th December. Hard to think where it has gone. He is a little wonder I have discovered I like babies!

Sorry guys it's so hard to update when in this place!

Ducky that sucks about u n H :/
He should want to look after and okay with DS all the time tbh!

Righhttttt well..... My beautiful DS2 is with me on the ward!!! :D came up at about 7pm :) he's had a feed here and blood sugars taken all of which were perfect :)
Annnnnd if his sugars stay good all night we can go home tomorrow evening :)
How good is that! Phew!
Just need this pain to buggar off tho!

That is great news Cupcake. So glad everything is going well. Did DS1 see him today?

Hope you get aome sleep and feel better tomorrow.

Wicked news cupcake will you have someone available to help you at home?

Great news cupcake I'm feeling queasy after my breakfast this morning, and have already peed 3 times since I got up an hour ago!

Apparently it the size of a chocolate drop now, I have an app on my phone

Lovely news cupcake, ducky I can't believe he is still not changing nappies. What do you do when you're sick? I was sick this weekend for the first time since pregnancy and I slept from Friday until Sunday pretty much. I woke up a few times to help cook but whatever it was drained all my energy.

Dd is over six months now as well, no idea where the year is going

You got pregnant Iam! I totally missed that, congratulations.

I did! Thanks siarie

I used to love checking my app iam any more news on mw appt?

Siarie I have to just do it if I'm ill, luckily I've only had one cold and a bit of food poisoning since ds has been born. But I'm definitely feeling stronger now about the whole leaving thing... Plus my friend has just got back from travelling, I know she will give me a kick up the arse

Really happy for you cupcake. Sorry to hear that your partner is making you unhappy ducky. Hope things get better soon for you. Men always seem to think they do more than they actually do x
