Lulu I was very relieved! :)
Yes it's rather exhausting with 2 of them and always being with the kids. I need some adult time with friends. I need to make friends! Think that would make me feel better.
GrinGrin lulu ur dh does read some

DS tonight 'Not go to bed' shaking his head viorously
DH 'Why do you not want to go to bed ? Do you want some milk?'
DS 'Me want beer'
Grin
Can I just say he has never had even a sip!
DH couldn't stop laughing. DS was very pleased with himself.

LuluJakey1 · 08/11/2016 21:24

He then said something unintelligible and got really upset when we couldn't understand. He goes from a few clear words to trying really hard and saying nothing clearly.

Then he escaped the nappy change and ran round naked for about 10 minutes until he got cold.

Eventually he did go to bed and fell asleep.

duckyisback · 08/11/2016 22:01

It's lovely lulu, although I'm a bit worried about it all being carpeted, apart from the kitchen and bathroom. Ds can be so mucky! It's all on one level too so safe for the dc to play.

Haha ds wanting beer already Grin has he met any babies at all? I'm a bit worried about my ds being rough with dd2Hmm he thinks he is helping though.

I'm going in Thursday to be induced Smile they don't let me get to 40 weeks as they don't know for sure what went wrong with dd1 so they do it as a precaution. Was hoping I'd go naturally this time.... still a day to go I suppose!

Cupcake when is your counselling? Have you had any before? Really hope it gets you feeling better again.

Should hear tomorrow if I can pick up the keys tomorrow afternoon or if dm will get them Thursday Grin

Cupcake92 · 09/11/2016 19:55

Haha lulu! Grin ur ds has a mature preference of beverage already!
I bet if u let him taste some he'd say 'yuck!'

Ducky my counselling is 15th December! I've never had counselling before so I hope it's good and it helps.
Are u excited for tomorrow???
Good luck u must let us know when she's here! :) so excited for u!!!

Good luck tomorrow Ducky. Hope it goes well - fast and pain-free. Keep us posted if you can.

LuluJakey1 · 09/11/2016 22:39

We asked DS tonight again if he would like a baby and he said 'No, biscuit pease'.

LuluJakey1 · 09/11/2016 22:39

So that's a duck, beer and a biscuit but not a baby.

duckyisback · 10/11/2016 04:49

Thank you Smile

Can't sleep at the moment as I'm a bit nervous. I have never been away from ds for that long before. He will come with dm to drop me outside the hospital tomorrow and will leave as he gets upset seeing me in there and leaving Sad

Glad you have your counselling appointment cupcake, shame you have had to wait until then for it.

Lulu, I'm sure my ds would rather have a biscuit too Grin bet he will love his new brother or sister!

Cupcake92 · 10/11/2016 06:56

Don't worry ducky ds will be fine. I was a bit like that when having ds2.
But he had a lot of fun without me and got spoiled so he liked it Grin try not to think about it and just keep in ur mind that he's safe and well and just concentrate on the labour :)

Good luck! I'm in hospital as well today! But for work Grin shame it's not the same hospital as u I would have come and said hi!

Lulu Grin ur ds is funny bless him! My ds1 cries when I tell him there'll be another baby soon after Christmas Grin I think it's because ds2 doesn't leave him alone and all ds1 wants to do is sit and play on his own quietly Grin

Hiii

Feeling a bit fed up Sad had a pessary and started contrActing, then everything stopped, on the monitors after a few hours it all started up again so they said I could go to labor ward to have my waters broke. Waited hours because apparently there was no room but there's been a shift change now and these are saying I can't go down yet so have had another pessary and have to wait til 9amish to be examined again.

I'm sore, having on off painful contractions and missing ds so generally fed up!

Cupcake92 · 11/11/2016 13:54

Oh bless u :(
I hope it's started to speed up ducky!!
Keep going!!

duckyisback · 11/11/2016 13:59

Started getting painful contractions so started getting excited, they're slowing down again now Sad

Cupcake92 · 11/11/2016 16:02

Come on baby ducky! Stop being so comfortable!

LuluJakey1 · 11/11/2016 19:24

Hope everything has happened and you are both resting Ducky.

duckyisback · 11/11/2016 22:40

Hello Grin

Well that was eventful..

Contractions stopped, then started again some time later and within an hour she was here ShockShock

Too fast for any kind of pain releif and they came on extremely fast and strong. I was an absolute wuss, screaming in agony. I was having contractions with no breaks Shock the staff were absolutely amazing though. They had no room on labor ward so I was in the assessment unit surrounded by other ladies for the most part! They were all very nice about my screaming too haha.

Have got some pretty bad tearing and grazes but have got plenty of pain releif now.

She is wearing her big sisters baby grow Smile

Congratulations Ducky Flowers She is beautiful. I am so glad you are both safe and well. Lovely idea about the babygro- made me feel tearful.
Hope you had some rest last night. Are you home today?
DS will be so excited.

LuluJakey1 · 12/11/2016 10:41

I am two stone lighter than I was before I had DS!

LuluJakey1 · 12/11/2016 10:42

Before I got pregnant I mean, not when I was about to give birth Grin

Cupcake92 · 12/11/2016 20:07

Cupcake92 · 13/11/2016 08:17

Wow lulu that's great! :) that's been very fast! You've got some efficient estate agents over there! I hope Friday goes well for u all :)
How u feeling pregnancy wise?

I'm starting to feel pain in my pelvis now. Especially after being asleep in bed. But I'm 23 weeks now so I've lasted a long time! I'm pleased about that! :) last time i was in agony by 17 weeks. I can't go on mat leave till I'm 35 weeks as need to pass my probationary time at work and that works out just before I'm 35 weeks. Hope I hang on till then!
