April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

[Cupcake92]

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

Was it ds2 waking for feeds waking ds1 up? Or was it ds1 poor sleeping waking ds2 up? Or both? It's so strange how similar they are cupcake!

I have got advice from mw. She has said to tell her to come over this way (mil is an hour away) and meet somewhere neutral and given her history of 'nastiness' towards me to take someone with me, dm said she would come. I don't know what mil is expecting, ds just screams and clings to me when he sees her.

I don't know if I mentioned but mw is also referring to a support worker as she said stbxh is bullying me and, in her words, 'starting to take the piss'.

Lulu that is so cute that ds quacks at the ducks! Sounds like he has settled in nicely! Is he in a bed yet? Or cot? What are you doing about potty training? I have no idea where to start weather is awful here too!

Oooh and I officially move into my home tomorrow

It's the same here lulu. Awful awful weather. But me and the dc's are going to stay in today and watch movies with a blanket!
I'll need a 3 bed at the least lulu. I was going to have ds1 in his own room and ds2 and 3 would share. Just going to keep my eye out after xmas for a 3 bed!

Ducky it was both! ds1 would wake and ask for juice or the toilet and ds2 would wake up and think it's time to get up. Or ds2 would wake for milk and ds1 would then be woken up! They are not suited to sharing a room at all tho ds1 has become great at sleeping now!

Sounds like u have a great midwife ducky!! :) and yes a meeting the mil in a mutual place is a good idea.
Good luck with moving in ducky!!! How exciting!!!

Good luck moving Ducky. Hope you are settled and snug and feel safe there.What good news for Christmas!

DS is still in his cot. We are going to decorate his new bedroom after Christmas and get him a bed. Start toilet training then as well. We went to see SIL today and he wanted to go up to his old bedroom for his afternoon nap.

Cupcake, it was horrible weather here again today. DS spent the morning playing and then we made some biscuits and iced them with snowmen and marshmallow hats. Then we went to see SIl when the rain eased off a bit.

Still awful weather here lulu! It's been non stop!
Ds1 has had his wellies on splashing in puddles at preschool today he told me

Hope ur settled in ducky!

I'm so so excited I'm going to view a house tomorrow!!! It's 3 bed, separate dining room,
All bedrooms are doubles, garage and a drive, a big garden and straight in front of the house is a big green full of trees etc! :) and the right price! I want it already

I'm also a little bit peed off tonight :/
I have a guy friend who I've know for like 7 years now, we were like best friends who would talk all the time then not speak for a bit but then as soon as we did it was like we hadn't not spoke in ages. We would always have a laugh! We haven't spoken in about a month which isn't unusual. But I had time hop of a pic from when we did relay for life for cancer research so I decided to message him...only he replied with 'sorry who's this?' I thought he was joking but I told him and said stop being stupid! But he's said his new gf isn't keen on his past so had to delete my number! And apparently it's for the best we don't speak now.
Wtf is this women?? Why she controlling him?
I feel like all my friends I have are dropping away 1 by 1! And I know it's not because of me but it feels like it :( feel like I'm a crappy person.

Well I put a deposit down on the house! The landlord accepted me. Just waiting for checks to be done etc and if I pass them all it's mine and I could move in 2 weeks! :) keeping my fingers crossed for this house!!

Hope it goes well Cupcake. It sound lovely.

Ds has been to feed the ducks today - and quack at them. He is so funny. He wants to cuddle them but they jump in the pond.

I ordered his bedroom furniture this morning - it was on sale and will arrive in January. We are makng a big thing of him having a 'big boy bed'. He can almost get out of his cot now if he tries.

The cats love the new house- lots of places to escape Ds and gardens and a park. No roads either. It has been nice today and they have been lying in the summer house on the chairs.

I am 18 weeks. You can tell a bit now. There is a bump but still easily missed when I have a dress on.

DH got home from work at 4 today and took DS for a walk. He has bathed him and put him to bed too. So I have had a laze on the bed for an hour.

Hope you two have a nice weekend. We are choosing paint and paper - probably will be a saga!

Lulu I found it scary when ds was able to climb out his cot. I worried he'd hurt himself as it was a decent drop !
Is ur ds excited to have a big boy bed?

Gosh lulu ur 18 weeks already! These pregnancies are flying by!
I'm 25 on Sunday :)

The house is looking promising!! I passed the credit check and they've taken it off the website! :) all they are waiting for is a reference from my current landlord and also confirmation from my job that I am employed! As soon as they are through the house is mine!!! :) :)
They said they want me to have the keys by the 5th December so me and the dc's will be in for xmas :) finally I'll get my bed back for a few months till baby is here!

Sorry haven't been around, not got internet yet! Just popped out and got some internet! Not got internet until 12th December!

Glad your settling in well lulu. Is ds understanding his big boy bed? I find ds sleeps much better in a bed.

Cupcake that is awesome news about the house! Hope you get them keys ASAP! Will you be able to move in straight away?

He hasn't got the bed yet Ducky - after Christmas.

Cupcake that is such good news about your house.

DH and I are gong out with some friends for a meal tonight. We haven't seen them for a while. I am so hungry! DS is staying with SIL and BIL. We left him at teatime and he never even noticed we were leaving . He is sleeping in his old room there. I am looking forward to our night out. We are walkng home round the seafront. 3 miles wrapped up in the cold- it'll be lovely.

Hey all - I've not been on here much at all since having ds in June. He is 5m next week and I can't believe how fast it's going.

Lovely to see you're all well, new babies and pregnancies and houses!

Gosh ducky! You've gotta wait a while for internet poor u!
Glad ur okay tho :)
And earliest I'd get them is 5th December they said! So only just over a week! Gonna start packing in the next few days :)

Thanks lulu :)
Have a great night out! And make sure u wrap up its freezing tonight!
Does ds enjoy staying with BIL and
SIL?

Hi Iam!! Nice to hear ur doing well and ds is 5 months already! Gosh! It's crazy how fast time goes by atm!

Cupcake, we had a lovely meal out and a good time with our friends. We did walk home and it wasn't as cold as we thought n the village but the chill off the sea got cold when we hit the sea front. But it was quiet and pretty and nice just to walk home the pair of us chatting. DH is much more himself than he was this time last year.
He is so much more relaxed about work now he's on his second year at the school. It isn't new and he knows what is expected and is more established. He isn't stressed like last year.
DS lves staying with Sil and Bil- he loves the attention and she said he was saying 'my cot' when she put him to bed. It isn't his cot but it was his old room.
Will you have lots of packing to do? I think if you are organised about it, you can make it much easier to unpack as well. Strong boxes. Mark them clearly with contents and room and it means they go in the right place when you get there- unless DH carries them in and just puts them anywhere and ignores the labels!

Aw that sounds lovely lulu! :)
Glad u enjoyed ur night out.
And it's good dh is more relaxed about his job now.

I have tons of packing to do. I'm going to pack all the things in the bedrooms and move them over to the new house 1st I'll just leave enough clothes to last a week here and just leave the beds for now.
Going to pack all the kitchen and leave a box of pans and essentials the same with the lounge.
Then I've got a van for the week after I get the keys so everything that's left will go in the van. So the actually day I move I shouldn't have much unboxing left to do!
Then everything that's left in the house will be junk so going to chuck it In the van and take it to the tip!
Well my moms husband will be driving the van and helping
I've got to book a carpet clean and end of tenancy clean the day before I have to hand keys back.
Going to be busy!

I also almost fainted at work yesterday. I felt awful! I just went very dizzy then very hot and my hearing went all muffled it was an awful experience! I quickly sat down before I went to the floor. And today I woke up feeling run down and had a slight bit of blood when I wiped I've not had anymore so I'm not sure what it was? Baby is moving normally etc but I'm now panicking I'll go into early labour .

Sounds like you might have had low blood pressure Cupcake. Just be careful standing up. If there is any more blood I would have it checked out but it is almost certainly nothing to worry about.

Ziggy and your dog will love the new house if it has gardens. It will be great for them.

People are noticing I am pregnant now. The bump must be more prominent.

I'm not back at the midwife till 20th December so I'm not quite sure on my blood pressure. I've not seen my midwife since I was 16 weeks pregnant, it's like they forget about u when ur on ur 3rd child!
Thankfully I've had no other bleeding so not sure what it was.

Oh yes lulu the animals will love it!
There's trees in front of the house and behind them is a huge field :)

Aw is it nice now it's noticeable ur pregnant lulu?

Hope ur getting on okay ducky!

Hi guys

Just checking in! Still waiting for internet

Cupcake, are you moving far? How exciting in time for Christmas I had blood with dd 2, they couldn't see where it had come from, but it was old blood not fresh. Maybe give mw a call?

Lulu, glad dh is feeling better. How many weeks are you now? How is sil pregnancy going?

19 weeks Ducky. Almost half way!

I had some bleeding with DS Cupcake but it was nothing. TBH I am not bothered about anyone noticing or not that I'm pregnant. I think you get a bit sick of people asking eventually- I do anyway. SIL seems to be fine but she has had bad morning sickness. She is hoping it stops before Christmas.

DS has been happy all day today, not a whinge out of him! All smiles and giggles.

Not moving far at all! lol only the other side of the village. Get the keys Monday! :) so excited!

Ducky I've had no bleeding but I keep feeling dizzy often so if I'm like it again tomorrow at work I think I'll call my midwife see if I can be seen sooner just to check my blood pressure etc.

I'm 26 weeks on Sunday and I'm massive. My belly is so big it's grown loads in the past week. I feel so fat

I'm so annoyed right now!
I've had to work today instead of Thursday as they needed staff more today so exH has the kids today.
Ds1 is at pre school all day so he only has ds2! Yet he's been calling me and texting me all morning saying he can't cope as he's got tooth ache (he's on antibiotics for an abscess on a tooth)
I've literally got messages saying "I can't look after ds2 I'm in too much pain" I'm at flipping work and I can't just say 'oh sorry I'm gonna have to leave all my patients as my exH is shit and can't cope with 1 child when he's got a bit of toothache'

I'm on my break now n it's worrying me cuz I don't want my child to be neglected cuz he's 'in pain'

Why does he have to be such an ass!??

Sorry for the rant!

Ffs cupcake how was it in the end?

Did the poor soldier cope,

10 days until I get internet!

I think dd has an allergy, she's been very unsettled.

Arranged to take the kids to stbxh this morning, which he wasn't happy with as 'it's too early and he needs sleep'. Arranged to take them at 9.30.... he stumbled in at 9.30 from a party he'd been at all night with one of the girls he'd been messaging. The house is filthy too.

Turns out our new shed roof leaks. DH and BIL out there replacing it with DS looking on and being unhelpful. DH has not got a clue- he is doing as he is told by BIL. I am making cheese scones as a treat with their coffee. This is what I hate about moving house - when the faults start to appear

Cupcake - what a wimp! Men!

Ducky- you are so well-rid of that one. Although, I imagine his return with a floosie was or hestrated so you would witness it, be jealous and wish he was all yours, NOT.

orchestrated, not or hestrated

Well he coped in the end! I just ignored him and said I'm at work I'll pick ds2 up early and go fetch ds1 from pre school. So instead of him having them till 6pm I had to get them at 2:30 and ds1 finished pre school at 3 stupid men.
Also found out he had put a facebook status saying 'can anyone have the kids for me? I'm in pain and can't look after them' my mom said she commented saying that I was at work and would be done soon and man up for a few more hours

Aw poor dd! Do u think it's a milk allergy like ds?

to ur stbxh! Men!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmm lulu cheese scones are yummy ! Especially home made ones eaten not long after they are out the oven all nice and warm! I hope they enjoyed them after fixing the shed roof !

Ds3 has hiccups and honestly it feel extremely low down! I'm feeling the hiccups close to my csection scar which is pretty low! I'm sure he's gonna come early.
