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

Haha lulu! That's funny! I'm glad u got the chance to say it!
Also don't let our bad nights put u off another baby! Learning from my mistakes from ds1 I got a good sleeper 2nd time round. I honestly think only letting him have milk every 3 hours from the day he was born helped him. He wasn't allowed any before or after 3 hours as he had to have his blood sugars tested. It ft him into a routine tho and slept through from 4 weeks.

Oh ducky don't worry I will Deffo get my revenge every weekend when he's off school and wants to sleep in I'll be waking him up at 6am!

Do u have another week till scan ducky?

Yep my scan is a week on Friday. I've had very bad nausea, that seems to start around 6pm up to about 9pm most nights as well as quite badly in the mornings and a bit in the afternoons but today I only felt a little bit sick in the morning. I'm reading far too much into everything. What will be will be.

Problem is I'm a carer for my gd, he doesn't know I'm pg and he has an App at the same hospital an hour and a half after me. So I got to hope I can get seen, rush back to pick him up then go back to the hospital with him!

I think you'll be fine Ducky. It all sounds very normal - mind you what would I know, I didn't realise until I was about 8 weeks.

DH has taken DS to the barbers with him. I told him not to but he said DS should get used to things like that. FFS, he is 15 months old, it's not like he is going to be going for hair cuts and shaves anytime soon- DS likes a barber's shave occasionally with hot towels and proper stuff.

Anyway, as predicated DS didn't like it and made a fuss and I got a phone call saying would I come and get him because it was havoc. By the time I got there he was standing on DH's knee in the barber's chair combing the front of his hair and nearly putting DH' s eye out with the comb. He didn't want to come home and there was lots of shrieking and wriggling.

Why don't men listen?

DH has come home with his beard shaved off completely and a very short cut . He has really thick hair and it looks very grey - and sexy actually . He had his glasses on and DS looked at him really suspiciously. I don't think he recognised him until he spoke to him.

Sorry, DH likes a barber's shave, not DS DS would be terrified by a barber's shave. I dread to think what havoc he would cause.

Don't worry ducky I'm sure all is fine :)
And oh gosh I hope u make both hospital appointment!

Lulu my ds1 started having hair cuts at 6 months old he had far too much hair!

My dc's both are still awake! No one wants to sleep

Cupcake, Ds does have his haircut, little trims by my hairdresser. She is a friend and comes round and does it. None of these buzzing machines shaving his neck like in DH's place he goes. He has baby soft hair and little flicks of curls. He doesn't need machines on it.

He is still up too, sitting with DH on the sofa with his milk and a piece of bread and butter.

Hahah I have a picture in my head of him now lulu in a proper barbers getting a shave! Ds went to the hairdressers for the first time last week for a trim, my mom had done it before but it was getting a bit out of control. he sat ever so well.

Hope there's sleep for you soon!

We've had a bad night, ds has had a bad reaction. Had been on the phone to 111 for ages. Poor little guy was so upset. They booked an appt at hospital for me but he fell asleep as they did it so it's been cancelled and just need to take him in if he gets worse. Feel so sorry for him.

Poor DspS Ducky. What happens when he has a bad reaction? Do you know what it was too this time?

DS is asleep now in his room. We are having a drink and DH is wating for Graham Norton to start. Life is so exciting. I remember when we used to go out every Friday night.

What you drinking lulu? I'm in bed now, I'm so rock and roll

He was having the runs really bad that in the end he was screaming the place down when I was trying to clean him as he was so sore. I read somewhere about reaction poos being more acidic and making the skin sore, don't know how true that is but his bum was very sore, then he has stomach ache so bad he didn't know what to do with himself he was just crying inconsolably and rubbing his tummy, calpol wouldn't touch it. And he got the sweats, which is a new one. That's the reason I called them as he hasn't had that before.

Sierra Nevada beer- small bottles because DH can't cope otherwise

Poor DS. That sounds awful - really uncomfortable.

Lulu ds has the electric shavers used on him because his hair is so thick. He sits there laughing when he has it done saying it tickles

Oh no ducky poor ds :( hope he's okay this morning?
Ds2 is a bit like then when I give him First milk. He's on anti reflux milk and is fine on it but if I ever give him First milk then he's sick and his nappies are absolutely awful and explosive
Awww ur poor ds aye :(

Well DS and I have had a nice day together today- been shopping, to soft play, he had a snooze and I tidied up. House clean, tea made.
DH came home in a right grump - had had a tiring day and had a headache. Would like some 'quiet'. Honestly! So DS is expected to be quiet? I don't think so. I told DH to take some paracetemol and go for a walk. He is in the huff big deal

Glad u and ds had a good day lulu :)
I hope ur dh's headache went in the end!

Ds refused to wear his pull-ups last night so went to bed with only his pj bottoms on!! I was panicking all night thinking he was gonna wake up because he'd wet himself. But he didn't!! :) he had a completely dry night :) very impressed with him.
Tho he woke up at 2:30am and came in my bed! So thank god he stayed dry

Hope dh has calmed down lulu! Is he still stressed about work load?

Cupcake that is wicked! Go ds!! Is ds2 in your room too?

My ds has been awful at sleeping recently, trying a new tactic tonight! I've only let him have one short nap today even though he was exhausted. We shall see how it goes!

Ducky yes ds2 is still in my room :) I've still got him in the next to me crib right by me. Tho tomorrow I'm going to put the side of his crib up so he gets used to sleeping on his own :( he'll be in his cot in ds1's room next month!' :( :( I rele don't want him to! I just want him to stay a little baby

Oo let us know how he sleeps tonight ducky! I'm hoping my ds sleeps through but I doubt it!

I recon ds would have slept through if it wasn't for his monitor!!! It has a sensor on it and it kept going off because he was using his pillow. Am off today to buy a new monitor I think. Going to get a video one I recon.

Is that a crib that just attaches to the bed cupcake? How does it stick on? Iyswim? I've seen pictures of one that goes next to the bed that you can rent for a one off payment for as long as you like and didn't know whether to try that next time... That's if everything goes ok.

All my symptoms have completely gone now. Don't feel pregnant at all and its worrying.

Ds fell over on concrete yesterday. He was running ahead of me and tripped, he's hot a big bruise on his head and cheek, a cut on his nose and a black eye poor guy.

Oo yeah I really want a video monitor. Don't know which is good tho? What one do you think you'll get?
Yeah it basically has straps that u put round the slats/bars of ur bed to secure it. I would recommend them ducky it's been amazing and I honestly think it's helped ds2 sleep better at night. It's made life so much easier!! Along with the perfect prep machine

Don't worry urself ducky, remember every pregnancy is different. I'm sure all is fine, try not to worry urself.

Aww no poor ds :( awful when they hurt themselves. Hope he's okay

Don't know if that link works but I think I'll get that monitor, it's a moterola video monitor. Got good reviews and is quite cheap

Does ds1 get on with ds2 ok? Is he gentle with him? I worry about ds with small babies and I have no idea how he will be with one in the house

Oo yes I might go and have a look at that one :)

Yea they get on so so well. I didn't think they would but ds1 is rele kind to ds2 there's been a few occasions where he's hit ds2 but felt bad after and cried and said sorry to ds2 Honestly ducky its turns out better than u expect :)

I've just had a call and I've got an opportunity to be on the THREE DAY NANNY tv show rele not sure if I should do it or not?
Ds1 has got a lot better, he still doesn't fall asleep in his own bed but he's only wakes up once now.
Dunno what to do

Omg cupcake! That's so exciting!

It's up to you, ds did get better and then got worse didn't he and you said you wished you had gone on. When do you have to make a decision by?

If you do it you'll have to tell us when your on so we can watch

Ducky I've said no to it :( too much of a wimp to do it

You've got ur scan tomorrow haven't u? What time is it at?

Yep I'm so nervous its at 1.50.

Ds has been awake since 4 with a temperature and screaming. He's in with me now with his top off and has had some calpol. I'm so tired!

Ducky how did it go?????

Hope your scan went well Ducky.

7+4 with a heartbeat they were really lovely in the epu as well. I worked out that gives me an edd of 28th Nov. But if I have an induction it will be 14th which would be good, leaving some space between ds 2nd birthday.

Have my booking in appt Tuesday too.
