[Cupcake92]

New thread :)
I want to see lots of our old faces back!!
Come on girls!

We are fine Ducky. He has not been to work-which has done him good. We have had a nice time and DS has loved it.

We had had a couple of funny weeks with sex as well tbh. I had felt completely uninterested when we dtd- not like us at all. But we are all back to normal now.

One of the cats came home with a large dead rat this morning and dropped it on the kitchen floor next to her food bowl. We were both scared to pick it up incase it sprang into life. I had a brush and DH had a shovel and we manoevered onto the shovel and he put it in the bin- which was emptied today thank goodness.

How are you feeling this week? Any feelings of baby moving yet?

Ahh how lovely a dead rat present we got a cat a few weeks ago, she's pure evil but she gets on with ds and he loves her.

No movement at all yet which is starting to really worry me as I would have thought I would have had something by now.

Have my private scan Thursday so hopefully it will reassure me.

Hello!!! :)

Glad to see u and dh are getting back to normal again! :)
Not glad to hear about the dead rat

Ducky how many weeks are u now? I'm sure I didn't feel ds2 till like 20 weeks. It took ages n I was worried!
I'm sure you'll feel movements soon :)

The dc's are all better now! So am I! Woo! Had a busy week of work and ended up doing an extra day. Got ExH to have the boys for half the day in the afternoon, my auntie had them in the morning and dropped th off to him. I went to pick them up after work and all he did was moan about how difficult they have been and how ds2 wouldn't nap and just moaned! I asked if he played with him as he was probably bored. Obv he answered no as 'he's too young to want to play'

What is it with men?

Well anyway ds1 is in bed already fast asleep :) very happy! Ds2 is also just about to drop off! wine and chocolate time I think :)

Glad your all better cupcake! Sounds like you have been busy! Are you enjoying work more now?

Typical of exh, I find most men I know are like that, for some reason they just can't cope.

I will be 16 weeks on Thursday. It's just worrying as I know I was definitely feeling ds move quite a bit at 16 weeks, I even had the midwife out at 17 weeks as I thought he had stopped moving when did you feel ds1 move? Was it earlier than 20 weeks?

Works okay, back into the flow of it all now :)

Oh I know men can't cope it's like, cuz it was an extra day it's different the the other days he's had them!

I felt ds1 move around 14 weeks! I can remember it so well. But ds2 was about 20 weeks and I was worrying as I hadn't felt him move yet. I can remember asking the midwife and she said we don't need to worry.
So I'm sure you'll feel baby soon Ducky.

I think I was about 18/19 weeks when I felt DS move Ducky- I wasn't sure what it was at first.

We have booked our holiday in France. Going to a house owned by friends of PIL for a mnths. Near the coast in south-west France. We went there on honeymoon and have been a couple of times. It has a pool. Can't wait.

Thanks, really hoping the movement starts soon, not long until the scan.

Holiday sounds lovely lulu! Bet ds will love it.

I have put on so much weight already I actually don't know what to do

Been to my scan this morning, it's a girl

Congrats ducky!!!!! :) :)
Are u pleased?
How was the scan?

I'm pleased but I also have really weird feelings about it. I don't know how to explain it but I kind of feel guilty.

It was really good, the people there are so lovely, they said they couldn't get the best shot of her bits but are 99% sure, but just to be thorough I can go back next week for another scan for free

Don't feel guilty ducky
I'd Deffo go back for a free scan tho!

How are u feeling now?

I'm so tired. Work is exhausting me :( then coming home cleaning cooking sorting kids out its tiring lol!
Not to mention I've run out of my anti depressants :( Didn't realise I had none left and my prescription isn't ready till Monday! So I'm worrying myself silly incase I start feeling crap again

And i found a perfect house!!
Me and other person were due to view the house at the same time yesterday. But they decided to put down an application and deposit without viewing it as they heard I was also interested!!! I really wasn't happy as that house was perfect!

Okay forget that! I've literally just applied for my dream job!!!
They hardly ever advertise!!
I'm applied for Bank healthcare assistant! :) if I got it it would be perfect!! I get to choose my own shifts and the wage is amazing and I get to carry on my NHS pension! Annnnnd I get money towards childcare. Oh I hope I get short listed !
The job went up yesterday and it closes tomorrow!

Sounds good Cupcake. Hope you get it. When will you know?

Congratulations Ducky- lovely news. If/when we have another one I would like a girl.

DS has learned to say horse. It comes out as ossies. He was fascinated by
Trooping the Colour on TV .

Did you sort your prescription cupcake? Shame about the house, let's hope another one comes through for you. Have you heard anything about the job? Fingers crossed for you!

Lulu how are you and dh doing now?

Went for the free scan today... Had to have an internal as baby's bum was on my cervix and she wouldn't budge! Definitely a girl

Got my prescription today :)

I'm not sure when I'll hear about the job, I hope it's soon!! :)

Ducky that's great! Bet it was lovely to have an extra scan :) have u thought about names ?

Lulu, that's so cute of ds! The way kids say some words is adorable!
Ds1 is like a proper grown child now and has conversations with me. :( no more baby words :( he's grown up so much!

Hope you were ok while you didn't have them!

I haven't thought of any names yet

I thought I put this on here but it must not have sent, I had to go behind a curtain to take my clothes off/put them on after the scan. Ds didn't think I needed a curtain and wasn't happy he wasn't behind it with me. There were a few people in the room and he opened the curtain just as I was putting my undies on everyone got an eye full!

No ducky I've been feeling so weird since I've not taken them! :( for some reason I feel confused and dizzy etc, and today I've been so bad I crashed my car! :(
It's not bad only scratched at the back but still, :( I'm so not myself!
I hope they kick back in soon, going to see the doc for advice.

Oh no!!! Naughty ds ! haha!
I hope there wasn't too many people there to see ducky

Omg cupcake! What happened? Did you reverse into something? Hope the new ones kick in asap.

Yes I reversed right into the neighbours car!! he's got a very expensive Mercedes!!

But on a good note I've been shortlisted for that job I applied for and go for an interview on 5th July!! So excited!! :)

Oh no! Were they ok about it?

That's wicked news about the job!

Thankfully yes they were fine!!! Phew!!

Happy Father's Day everyone btw :) going for a meal with my mom and the kids. Cuz technically my mom has also been my dad all my life

Hope u all have a nice day!

Ha mine too cupcake! Hope you had a nice meal!

Did you have a nice day lulu?

I did Ducky - peace and quiet.

DH and SIL went down to see their folks for the weekend - FIL is not too well at the moment. They took DS. BIL and I stayed up here.
I spent the whole weekend alne- gardened, shopped, sat in my lovely quiet, tidy house and chilled. Bliss!

I made DH a nice meal to come back to. He took his presents from Ds and his card with him.

It was a great meal thanks ducky even had cake
How was ur day?

Lulu what a lovely peaceful weekend! Oo I'm jealous!
Glad you had a nice weekend :)

It's been so hot today! Took the dog for a lovely walk down to the lake and then ds1 and ds2 played outside in the afternoon whilst I hung washing out :)
I'm glad it's bedtime now tho!!

Sounds nice and relaxing lulu! What did dh get from ds?

Cupcake, it's been horrible by me! We didn't do much on Father's Day. But I brought ds some wellies the other day after he spotted some and fell in love with them. He had them on from the moment we got back and refused to take them off all day. We went to soft play and I usually have a hard time getting him to come out, this time I just had to hold his wellies up and he came running
