He looks very composed there Cupcake. He has very heat hair, had it been brushed for bed. I love the way he is lying-completely relaxed and content. Glad to hear Ds2 is feeling a bit better. Here's hoping you get a good night's sleep.

DH was home by 11. Said the do was boring. He has had 3 pints and is feeling romantic. Grin Is in the shower at the moment- will probably fall asleep as per usual forgetting he said we were going to have sex. It is a good job I am not easily offended by him.

I have started wrapping some presents tonight. Am feeling quite organised this year.

Cupcake92 · 06/12/2015 03:32

Ducky yes it is, a Micky mouse one :) I've got a dummy clip attached to it. I took it off now tho Grin DS2 has a habit of dropping his dummy when I pick him up.

Lulu no I hadn't brushed his hair Grin it does look rather neat tho Grin
Haha aw bless ur DH. Does he not like to go out those kind of things?

Ds2 is up for his feed. Slept 11pm till 3:15pm. Hoping he sleeps till 7/8am. I'll be happy with that :)

LuluJakey1 · 06/12/2015 09:06

No, he hates work nights out. He likes a night out with a few mates but not work nights out.
The wind has stopped up here and it isn't raining, just very grey.
Did DS1 manage to kerp his toast Down Cupcake?

Hello everyone :)

Been really busy the past few weeks, back to work and DP has been away on business, and finishing off the house move. We are all in now and DP says we are Never. Moving. Again. Grin. DD loves running around everywhere (we need stair gates), having her own room and a nice spare room for guests. But she still insists she liked the old house better Hmm

DS has learnt to crawl. He is very proud of himself! Nursery suits him well, apparently he is always smiling and chatting, and loves having lunch with all the other babies. DD is very proud of her baby brother and keeps asking to go down to the baby room.

Sorry to hear about your DS cupcake :(. I've only been back at work 3 weeks and she has been sick in the car twice so we've had to come home again, but I think it's travel sickness.

zombiemeow · 06/12/2015 11:16

Hello bears! Sounds like you have been busy! Are you back full or part time?

Lulu did dh fall asleep? Grin

How are both the ds's cupcake? My ds has the same nuks because they're the only ones I found in a random shop. He's now having tommee tippee ones thank god as they're so much easier to find in shops

He didn't actually Ducky Grin Unusually for him after 3 pints he was very wide awake.

Hello Bears. Glad to hear everything is going so well.

DS has just taken his first few steps by himself. Hurrah! He went from clinging onto the sofa to DH- who had his Oleg grub- about 4 steps. Clever DS. DH was quite emotional. Seems to think it was a boys bonding moment Hmm Anyway, we were both there to see it so that was nice.

LuluJakey1 · 06/12/2015 18:02

I thought once DS took a few steps he would just start walking all the time but he isn't. He does not seem to get past 4 or 5 and then either over balances or grabs onto something or just sits down. He is very pleased with himself though. Smile

Cupcake92 · 06/12/2015 21:54

DS2 is feeling much better :) he's managed to eat some food today and started to become his normal self this evening :)

Lulu that's great DS has started taking a few steps!! :) DS1 was about 14 months when he walked.

Ducky I brought the nuk dummies for DS1 but he never used them so DS2 has them Grin his are from One Stop lol

Bears hello! I do sound busy! What's it like being back at work?
Glad ur all settled in ur new home :)

I'm dying my hair tomorrow! Only dark brown :/ but I have some hair extensions that are dark brown and I rele wanna use them so I'm gonna dye it!
How easy is it to dip dye? I'd rele like to dip dye the end of my extensions purple but dunno how to do it?

Cupcake92 · 07/12/2015 05:08

Yaaay! DS2 did it again! Last bottle at 11pm and has woke up at 5am :) 6 hours sleep! That's pretty good for a 6 week old!

zombiemeow · 07/12/2015 11:07

Lulu that's wicked!!! Was he standing on his own ok, ds will only stand holding something.

Cupcake glad ds is feeling better, ours were one stop too Grin that's wicked for ds2 to sleep that long! Hopefully he will get the hang and teach ds1. No idea about dip dying though.

I'm scared, I'm going to the hairdressers later to have a complete re style of my hair Confused it's bra strap length at the mo and I'm having it all cut above shoulder length Sad

LuluJakey1 · 07/12/2015 21:14

Yes, he trotted to DH from the sofa across the floor. He does not seem very keen to do more than 5 steps though and then sits down or grabs onto something. He is very unsteady. I suppose practice will improve that. He has been to nursery today and I have done a half day at work to start the handover of my job. He was worn out and in bed by 7pm- before DH got home. DH has had a parents' evening at work.

I am knackered too and so is DH. So we are all going to be in bed early tonight.

What is your hair like Ducky? Mine is short, layered and flicked at the moment? How did your colour go Cupcake? Mine is 'Light beige blonde'- that's what the box said anyway.

Cupcake92 · 07/12/2015 22:01

How did the hair cut go ducky? What's it like? Do u like it?
And ur right DS2 needs to give DS1 lessons in sleep Grin

How did work go Lulu ?
I need to dye it again tomorrow! Wasn't enough dye in the box so I have 2 patches of blonde Grin

LuluJakey1 · 07/12/2015 22:09

Just another day and a half and I am done - no longer a Deputy Head. Sad

DH wants me to stop taking the pill but I am not. I want DS to be at least two when another one arrives, preferably 2 1/2.

zombiemeow · 08/12/2015 06:36

I had it cut shoulder length with some layers and a choppy fringe Smile it's black at the moment, quite strange for me as I usually have it bright colours.

It's ds birthday Shock can't believe it! He woke up at 5, has opened three presents, played in his ballpit, had breakfast and has fallen asleep. Still has more presents to open which are all scattered across the floor

LuluJakey1 · 08/12/2015 06:56

Happy Birthday Duckling! Have a lovely day? Are you doing anything special Ducky?

Are you pleased with your hair? It sounds great.

zombiemeow · 08/12/2015 08:05

Thank you lulu Smile he will be going to his usual group then we're off to the sea life centre. He loves looking at fish tanks so hopefully he will have a nice day.

I'm quite pleases with if, a bit gutted as I want it long but it was so wonky before so I needed it done. It's the second time in my life I have been to a hair dressers Blush

Cupcake92 · 08/12/2015 10:43

Ooooooo happy birthday duckys DS!!!
Hope u all have a nice day :)
Gosh that years gone very fast!
Ur hair sounds nice ducky! Omg I go every 6 weeks to have mine cut Grin so does DS cuz his hair grows way too quick!

Well DS1 has gone back to nursery today :) he seems better now thank god!

Cupcake92 · 08/12/2015 22:46

Hope DS had a good bday ducky !

zombiemeow · 09/12/2015 07:41

Thanks cupcake Grin

Glad ds1 is feeling better, was he looking forward to going to nursery?

I didn't go to hairdresser as the first time I went the woman I saw was absolutely horrible to me, so dm just used to cut my hair. The one I went to the other day was quite nice though. Ds has had two hair cuts already Blushhis hair grows so quick!

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 09/12/2015 17:43

He was rele looking forward to nursery ducky! We were late this morning! All of us slept in till 8:15am! He should be at nursery for 8 Grin that's the first time ever we have slept in that late. I'm shocked at DS2 sleeping till then an all!

Oo I don't like mean hairdressers ! Makes u feel like they are going to hack away at ur hair! Confused

I feel quite down today. These baby blues are coming and going. :( feel the lowest today. Just feel a bit lonely, no one to hug and cuddle at night and to just be there when I need them :(

zombiemeow · 09/12/2015 19:56

But just remember cupcake you are an amazing mom, remember the hard times you used to have being with exh, they aren't happening now Smile

Sending you hugs (WineWineWineWine)

Thanks Ducky :) Flowers

Me and the kids slept so well last night! Not had a great sleep like that in ages!

zombiemeow · 10/12/2015 12:20

That's great Grin

Ds was up once last night which is amazing for him.

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 10/12/2015 21:04

Yay well done DS! Grin did u manage to get a good sleep then ducky?

Lulu how are u doing?

Still not been able to shift this mood I'm feeling. Just keep feeling like I want to cry. Even sitting in traffic made me want to cry lol
The health visitor asked me about how I was feeling as she came to do a 6 week check yesterday. But I lied said I felt okay :/
Is it worth talking to the HV or is gp better or what?
Don't like feeling down :(

I think exH has met someone.

zombiemeow · 10/12/2015 21:26

Maybe have words with your gp cupcake, from what I have read on here hv can be utterly useless (although there are some gooduns too!). You've had so much to deal with recently, exh, having ds2, ds2 being ill, ds1 being ill. Hope your feeling normal again soon.

what makes you think exh has met someone?
