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

loss not lost.
He is very immature.

Very immature Lulu. I wonder if he will ever grow up sometimes.

Keeping DS1 in my bed tonight as he's only just fallen asleep and I need sleep too and I think it's too risky moving him into his own bed now.
DS2 is just about to have his last bottle and hopefully if he sticks to normal routine he'll sleep till 5/5:30am fingers crossed!

Hope you all got some good sleep cupcake.

Ds slept ok which I was surprised about, only about 4 wake ups, but this morning we have been greeted by the aftermath of his reaction... Diarrhoea. Sorry I have no idea if that spelling is right

Ds2 woke at 2am ducky. He's done it again today! HV said he's due a growth spurt so I reckon it's happening now as he's wanting more milk.
I've had to up his ounce to 6oz!
Tho I can safely say DS2's growth spurts are so much better than when DS1 had them he was up every hour!
Oh no about the explosion! :( hope DS is over his reaction now.

DS1 is at nursery today! So can't wait to get up and take him haha I need a break! Tho I rele need to go into work as I said I'd come show them DS2. He's 7 weeks old now so I've late it rele late

Can u believe Christmas is next week!!!

I know cupcake, this year has gone so fast.

I have woke up with a horrible cold and sore throat

But ds has his first tooth!!! It's his top one, the next one isn't far behind either

I'm nowhere near finished getting everyone a present! N I don't have enough money this week either I have a lot of bills to pay this week.

Yay DS! I bet they will all come in one after the other now :)
Boo u for having a cold :( i hope that passes quick.

Do you have an idea what your getting everyone? I have all my shopping done although I mainly just got people little things as money is tight. Luckily I got ds things throughout the year and stashed them away so he's all sorted.

Ds has a Christmas party today

Yes I've got an idea :) mine are little things too lol
That's a good idea to grab bits and bobs throughout the year.
Oo bless him! :) I hope he has fun!
DS1 has his on Friday. Gonna be awkward as I'm the youngest parent there

It took me over half an hour to dress DS1 this morning. He just wouldn't get dressed. Had the biggest tantrum.
I finally got him to nursery and even then he wouldn't go in!
I came home and broken down.
Called the doctors, now waiting for a call back as they want to arrange a 'listen meeting' with me. But they said it may not be till after Xmas.
I hate feeling like this so much cuz I'm usually the bubbliest person going.
Need to fix it cuz I keep crying and it's getting exhausting redoing my make up all the time

What is a listen meeting cupcake?

Hope ds1 returns in better mood.

I'm just desperately trying to get ds to have a nap for a few mins before his party as he is so tired. He's not co operating at the moment tho

They said its where I can go to just talk and let out all I'm feeling to someone that I'm not so close with as apparently it's easier to talk to someone who I'm not close to.
They said I'll have a few of these and if they don't work then they will think of other options like medication etc,

I hope DS has a nap for u Ducky!

The meetings sound good cupcake, did you get your call back?
How is ds1 today? Did he go to nursery?

No call back yet ducky :( gonna call them tomorrow and see what's going on.

DS1 went to nursery but he put up a fight again! Tho when I pick him up they say he's been so good and he's even been eating his dinners !! Even the stuff he never used to touch like pasta!

He's been having some huge terrible 2 tantrums tho!

How's DS ?

Lulu how are u? Have u completely finished at ur job now?

Wow that's good! I wonder why he has played up the last two days.

Ds is ok, although we had a terrible night last night and I have a cold/cough/sore throat so am struggling. I bet he'll catch it off me and he'll be poorly again, he only just got over one cold

Yes, completely finished now Cupcake.

DS and I have been to DH's school's carol concert tonight. DS loved it and everyone was very nice. I made a bit of an effort with what I wore for DH's sake. I put a red tartan short skirt on with navy tights, boots, jumper and short navy coat I had forgotten I had. DH was pleased to see us. DS slept for part of the second half on Dh's knee.How he slept through the noise of a choir I don't know but he did.

None of us have cold at the moment but it is definitely doing the rounds. SIL has it really badly.

I can't wait for Friday when DH finishes work. It will be nice just to have some time together and he looks really tired.

I can't believe your ds would sleep like that

We had quite a good night last night, although I had a really bizzare dream I dreamt I had crazy sex with Leonard from the Big Bang theory, which is strange as I don't find him remotely attractive.

Gosh I was exhausted last night I fell to sleep so early! Have DS2 a bottle at 7:30 then DS1 fell asleep at 8:30 and I then fell to sleep as well.
Woke up at 11 to give DS2 a bottle and was straight to sleep again after.

DS2 woke at 3:30am for his next bottle and DS1 literally woke up as well at the same time! So I had both kids in bed with me we were also late to nursery again today because we overslept I had to wake the kids up at 7:30 and rush to get ready!

Lulu that's good DS slept through the noise!
Was the concert good?

Ducky that's crazy I like the Big Bang theory it's funny.

Do you feel refreshed now cupcake?

Well he had had a busy day, the lights were off in the audience, the place was warm and he was cuddled into DH so I suppose it isn't that amazing!

It was a nice concert Cupcake but there was some pretty ropey solo singing Bless them! Girls who looked like they did not really want to sing at all but had actually chosen to do it. I think it was nerves but they sort of froze and didn't smile and looked slumpy. It wasn't very 'joyful' at those points.

Are you feeling any better about things Cupcake?

Very strange dream Ducky! Wild sex does not feature in my dreams or reality I think it features in DH's dreams but he is too tired for anything like that

DS has been up since just before 5 am- playing! DH has gone to work exhausted and tetchy.

Ducky I did feel refreshed!
I went to frankie and bennies with my friend for breakfast yesterday it was amazing! So so yummy! Had pancakes, bacon and maple syrup :)

Slightly better Lulu, i feel okay when everything's calm and I've done the cleaning and I can sit down peacefully. It's when I know I need to do something and the kids are crying or refusing to get dressed etc. I just cry haha.

Gosh Lulu that's an early morning for u!
Ull need a nap soon !

DS2 was awful yesterday. He slept once the whole day!! He was also cluster feeding all evening from about 5pm. Then finally fell asleep at about 12am. He wouldn't let me lay him in his crib before this and kept wiggling and crying. I'm not sure why. I burped him and everything but nothing worked. Thankfully tho he slept 12am till 7:30am!! I was very shocked!

We got our haircut today me and DS1. The. Ds1 has his Xmas party at nursery that I have to go to :) Santa will be there. He's rele excited and has picked out his special Christmas minion top. (The minion has a Santa hat on) he loves minions, has a slight obsession with them

How is ds walking going lulu? I hope you manage to get a nap at some point.

Wow cupcake that's great for ds2 to sleep like that! Hope he enjoys his Christmas party. Ds is very unsure of Santa

Ds slept really well last night, he woke up at 4am for the day though but that is miles better than what he was like before. He has 1 tooth and 4/5 ready to cut anytime now. He's had his 1yr injections today too

Lulu do you brush your ds teeth now? I went to look yesterday but there were so many different types of tooth brush and different gadgets and toothpaste I got a bit overwhelmed and left it! Am going to try again today, might ask the pharmacist for help though

He has just gone to sleep- he's been like a little whirlygig all day. I am sitting with my feet up on DH's knee and we've both got a mug of tea. He has been home about half an hour. DS is in bed but I am not leaving him for hours or he won't sleep tonight. I'll wake him about half 4 if he is not awake.

He toddles Ducky but isn't as keen as I thought he would be. He still likes to hold onto things and toddles between things rather than always doing it. He still crawls as well. He can walk about 8-10 steps.

Yes, I brush his teeth with a small child toothbrush and a bit of fluoride toothpaste. He quite likes it most days but if he is a bit tired or grumpy it can provoke the screaming abdabs.

DH came home with two slices of chocolate malteser and caramel cake. Yumm!

DS is running round laughing and shrieking - totally excited for some reason

We are just letting him- he must wear himself out soon! DH is playing with him. The cats are sitting with me on the sofa looking disgusted.

Haha I love the way dm's cats look at ds. They have a total look of disgust in their eyes

Hope he wears himself out and sleeps well! And has a lie in!

He is asleep

DH and I have a can of Stella each.
