Number four will not be happening here, either

LOL@ bonking with manflu.

Hello ibblewob Welcome.

We went swimming. A complete waste of ime After waiting 15 mins because they advertised the wrong opening tome for the teaching pool, I was told it wasn't going to open at all due to staff shortages. The dds went in the big pool with my friend, and I stood on the side and restrained squirming small boy yelling "plash" ove and over at the pool (I did try him in it but it was just too deep and cold. We will go to a differen pool tomorrow and try it again.

Well.

Tea is cooling nad the witching hour has started. So I have put Nick Junior on and it has seemed to do the trick.

Hello Ibblewob this is wear we come to do our lists and just generally be there. At 37 weeks pregnant I was not thinking about housework at all.

Ruby My DH is weird he gets ill and wants it more - swears it makes him feel better

I would love more kids, but I would be dead two. The pregnancies for the two I have got nearly killed me - not joking

I am thinking about what I can do that will fit in with term time school hours only. Think I my abition went in the incierator with the placenta TBH.

RR Gibberish tort and quite probably everybody else. I am a coward. I realised that Ed would be a singleton quite early on. I can barely cope with him without inflicting more of my spawn on society

Just settled down and I can say I have done no more FLYing since my previous post. We went to the Chinese new year thing at the children's centre (watching Ed try his hand at tai chi was bizzare) Home by 3 and I pot up the primulas into tubs round the porch. At least the house looks cheery now.

Ed is smeared in face paint. I suppose I better give him a S&S

Night all

Hi Guys, sorry I havent been around. Had work in AM and then DD2 fell down half a flight of stairs this PM. Alert and active so she's ok but now she has a raging fever which is probably down to last weeks MMR. yet again everything in chaos.

I so need a holiday in the sun at the moment

DontDreamItBeIt · 11/02/2008 19:12

Glad she is ok FGS.
Holidays in the sun are no fun with small children anyway

Can't you cook sausages from frozen, Ruby?
I agree re knowing when your family is complete. I never felt happy wih the idea of never having another baby after the dds, but now I am quite happy to be finished. Only having one is lovely. I feel like ds is a sigleton alot of the time, due o the age gap, and am loving being able to enjoy time with him. I don't regret having the dds close together, but they did miss out on this special time with mummy whaen they were tiny.

I don't think anyone would call you a coward GO

DS is in bed, and the dds are watching trash on tv pre bed. DD1 is still whinging about aching knees (she fell and badlly bruised them last week)

DP came in and gave me a bit of wood with an address on it to put in his diary. Trying to keep track of his work is a job in itself! At least my constant reminders to write things down seem to be sinking in!

TheMadHouse · 11/02/2008 20:22

Evening all

DH did the bedtime routine, while I popped to get cat litter, as we had run out - Poor Smudge.

I also called in at my mums, god she is hard work. Nothing is ever right, not a nice word to say about anyone. It can be wearing sometimes. I know she is hurting (she has arthritis) but.....

Anyway I am back and DH and I are going to settle down for a nice peaceful evening and an early night.

FGS I am sorry re DD and hope the temp drops soon. I must get DS2's MMR done - I am crap didnt want it at 13 months (Iwe left DS1 till 18 months) so put it off and forgot about it.

Groucy DS1 was going to be an only child, be fate stepped in and DS2 came along.

Dream I think we have the same gap (15 motnhs) - sometimes I think twins would have been easier.

I dont want anyone to think that I do not love my boys with every ounce of me (and there are a lot of ounces), but sometimes I want and need a child free day.

DontDreamItBeIt · 11/02/2008 20:25

It gets easier TMH But you may understand why there is a 5 1/2 year gap before ds. If you'd met dd2 as a baby you'd definitely understand!!

Where is tortoise?

TheMadHouse · 11/02/2008 20:32

I think that fate stepped in as I just shouldnt have done another pregnancy and also well DS1 as a baby was enough to put anyone off - my antenal group used to be scared of him. He cried pretty much solidly for 4 months and then got very ill and didnt sleep until the week before DS2 was born adn then DS2 well he was an angel baby, but he couldnt poo (tight arse was his nickname).

What I will say is that they are both pretty good sleepers now 7 till 7 most days and DS2 till 8 most days

DontDreamItBeIt · 11/02/2008 20:53

DD2 sounds similar. She cried for 8 months, but at least she wasn't ill. Just miserable! Luckily dd1 was the angel baby so I was quite relaxed when I was pregnant.

Looking back now, I have no idea how I coped with them both through that first year.

Did you have bad pregnancies/births them TMH?
(Feel free to tell me to mind my own, I know I'm being nosey)

Hello Everyone

I hope everyone are ok.

We have had some great sunny days here so I have been as busy as I can be. I have over done it a bit though. I was so tired by the evenings and last night I was really hurting. So today I have been lazy as I can be. In a way is was nice to have joints that hurt because I had done something rather than just hurting for the sake of it. I felt I had done loads to help my mum which made me feel good inside. I hate not being able to do things or very much these days.

Its been great to see the sun though and do some jobs and with the sun being out it has mad me feel a lot happier. We have done loads of washing, its great to be able to get it outside. Its been nearly dry so I have ironed what I could and then mum hung it over the radiators to finishing drying.

All the windows have been cleaned. The window cleaner done the outside and mum and me done inside. I did the bottom halves.

Yesterday I done loads of baking with DS2 and DD. DS1 would not join in as I would not let him go on the computer as soon as he woke up. Hes getting to be a handful again.

I hope to be back in again tomorrow, so I will read todays and the weekends posts then and hope to catch up.

Better go as DD is crying.

Night night all

I had 3 m/c before DS1 came along and a twin molar pregnany. I suffered with Hyper Emysis with both boys. DH injected me 3 times a day in the bum to try and stop the sickness. I had my gall blader removed when I was 20 weeks pregnant with DS1 as they were concerned with liver function results.

I ended up in hospital for the last weeks of my pregnancy on a drip and was induced at 38 weeks. I was in laybour for 3 days and had a crash section due to placental abrumtion.

With DS2 same sickness and stuff, but also low BP. Put on steriods and section at 37 weeks. I was really unwell after the birth, due to liver function and stuff. I ended up having loads of tests and consultant rules out any more babies, as they couldnt figure things out.

I have issues with the HCG, it doesnt leave my body very quickly, but I make stunning baby boys and they have been worth it every step of the way

DontDreamItBeIt · 12/02/2008 00:07

Wow! They are certainly pretty special, aren't they.

DontDreamItBeIt · 12/02/2008 00:08

DD2 was a crash section. I often wonder if the traumatic start had something to do with her unhappiness as a tiny baby.
