Yes Neeko you all do talk that much actually!
No seriously I've had a stressful couple of days & no Mermaid I actually feel shite so there nur!!
Had massive problems getting dd to sleep on holiday. She was going to bed at 10pm & waking up at 7am & then she had to be driven around by dh during the day or else she wouldn't have her lunchtime nap. Last night was her first night home & she wailed & screamed when I put her to bed, dh went out to get a curry & dd started sounding like something out of the Exorcist screaming "MUMMMMMYYYYY" in a scary deep voice through the monitor. Anyway, I was going to let her cry for a few more minutes when I heard a massive thud, I raced upstairs to find she'd managed to throw herself out of her cot & landed on the floor, when I opened the door she was toddling towards me with her arms outstretched & she was in her grobag (like a sleeping bag for the uninitiated) & looked like she was in a shuffling sack-race. Then dh got home & I got it in the neck for not calling the doctor - then he refused to call the doctor himself saying "no it doesn't matter". She was fine but I then had two hours of trying to get her off to sleep & she didn't want to know - the untouched curry was going cold downstairs btw. THEN, dh barged in & decided to take over, so I went downstairs to catch up with mn but he followed me with dd in his arms saying "What the hell are you doing? Stop emailing your mates & help me" Arseface. She eventually fell asleep in our bed & I managed to carry her to her cot at 11.30, I was so wide awake that I went downstairs & read up on all of your posts until 1am, then was so irritated that I woke up at 5am & have only had four hours sleep. And no bloody curry! Dh was getting so narkey with both myself & dd towards the end of the holiday, I couldn't wait to come home. It's our wedding anniversary today & I feel like doing a turd in an envelope & giving it to him instead of his card!
OK rant over.
I really enjoyed reading the (blaaaardy long) thread when I got back, it was like reading a book when you had already seen the film. I wanted to keep skipping to the good bits at the end as I'd been regularly updated by Neeko (thank you) & also by GG. So, even though I had tears in my eyes reading the earlier posts I knew that Barbie was still pregnant, yay, that GG had her little bean in the right place, hurray, & that Neeko was coming back to us when the evil witch buggered off, yeee-ha!
I'm definitely going to make some of that yummy sounding soup Mermaid, that sounds right up my rue.
Jools don't forget you can buy Viapro from Superdrug!
Welcome to hoping, you are in the right place for meltdowns, we are meltdown-ahoy in these parts most weekends!
4ever sorry af got you, third time lucky for you I bet. What happens if you get pregnant & you only have a few months of protection left? Can't they give you a top-up when it runs out?
Kate hope you come back soon, men can be shits.... not that I'm anti-man or anything like that! Please don't feel guilty for spending time with us.
GG will be thinking of you tomorrow.
I have had my scan date through, not until the flippin 23rd July. I could have an early one if I were to get referred by my gp but I quite like it here with my head firmly in the sand! I weighed myself this morning & unbelievably I've lost a pound since I went on holiday - cue worrying. Shouldn't I be putting weight on at 8 weeks?? I guess I've been fussy for the last couple of weeks & I just haven't fancied eating much & when I have eaten something it had made me feel queasy.
Hope everyone is well on this sunny day. I'm off to try to get some sleep now - well it'll probably be only about 10 minutes before dd wakes up & decides to jettison herself out of her cot & across the room!
