Anon - i suggest tea + radio on + tackle that ironing!!

DS2 up at 3am for about an hour, so if not DH it's the kids disturbing my sleep! Mind you i got lots more than the night before, 9ish-3 undisturbed, yey.
And everyone up at 7

AnonymousBird · 30/03/2011 09:36

Oh I know, JKS, today is finally the day. I tend to watch utter shit some programme I've saved on Sky Plus, something that DH refuses to watch, to get me through the ironing... only way I can stand it!

FreakoidOrganisoid · 30/03/2011 11:38

The curtains I won are LOVELY! Look really good though I do need to shorten the tabs a bit. Even dd likes them which is good cos they are really for those with a y chromosome (coded as she is reading over my shoulder! damn her being able to read-got told off for typing shit earlier too)

Both she and I have conjunctivitus so she is off school. Ds seems ok so far though.

Hello Slatterns!

Finally home after the arrival of baby Thomas by planned section on Monday lunchtime. He was 9lbs 9ozs!!
We've had a stressful few days in hospital with problems with his blood sugar levels, but all ok now and he is feeding like a dream - or he is once I can get his flailing arms out of the way and get him latched on Grin
Hormones all over the place, feeling v.teary about all sorts of things including having turned DS1's life on it's head - but v.v.happy :)

My Mum is in charge of all domestic matters atm so no lists until next week Grin

Congrats Ali, on a day off (well to 6) from minding Mammy today. I had 5 mins between cleaning rooms and I said I must check in on the slatterns. Am so glad I did now when I see your wonderful news.

Congrats, love the name it is DSs 2nd name

AnonymousBird · 01/04/2011 16:17

Yey to Ali and Ali DH!!! Welcome to Thomas (a fine name, also my DS's second name!). make the most of your mum being there!!! Lovely news, congratulations.

We've broken up . Oh crap, I have no idea what I am going to do with them for 3.5 weeks! DH going away for a week, PIL's going away for the same week (great). So it's just me and them. I am on 24/7 duty even more than normal with no time at all during the day to oversee my house project/tidy the house/make the beds/get the washing done/get the fridge stocked etc etc.... Exhausted just thinking about it!

Ah well. We'll muddle through. And hopefully have a bit of fun along the way

List - abandoned for now! I need to formulate a holiday/emergency one I think!

OP posts:
JustKeepSwimming · 01/04/2011 19:07

Anon - also praying for lots of good weather here to get out and about while we can, not sure how easy it will be when baby arrives.

Had lots of kids in the garden this afternoon, they all played so nicely too, then stayed for tea. Luckily DH home early and has helped to tidy the toy chaos left behind.

Congratulations Ali! Grin (why was I expecting Thomas to be a girl???)

Glad it all went well, make the most of having your mum there!

Hello everyone else!

PlumBumMum · 01/04/2011 20:32

Congratulations Ali and welcome baby Thomas,
must say feel for you about ds1 , I had this terrible guilt thinking I had made them grow up another bit, and it happened again when I had dd2, but on a good note it does go away quickly make sure you get a good cuddle off him and you'll both be fine

sat in all day waiting for Sky plus to get connected, supposed to be here between 8 & 1 came at 20 to 3 [gggrrrrrrr]

Also my best friend had a baby girl so we are going to visit them tomorrow I am sooo excited

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 01/04/2011 22:18

Thanks everyone Grin

Have had some good cuddles with DS1 today so feeling better about all that, although he did come into our bed in the middle of the night last night, clearly feeling left out!

DH took both boys to the park this afternoon while I had a nap, was lovely watching them set off - DS1 is v.taken with the buggyboard, or his 'skateboard' as he calls it! :)
