Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving it too much at the moment.

Those stereo moments with the DTs though..... they make me want to put the world on pause occasionally.

Had a fab night out dancing. Saw that IAMF filled the thread and didn't even start a new one

So here it is and if you don't like the title.... well it's almost 3 in the morning. What's a Mars to do?

Triplets:
very, very that you haven't got any stretch marks, I put on loads and turned into a right porker!!! Although like you, you couldn't tell that I was pg from behind it was just funny when I turned around and people got the shock of their life!!Ohhh, getting broody again, I am soooo tempted

F.G. F.S. Thats awful had the cough and sickness bug in our house,just got over it now. Mine weren't sick for too long, but the snuffles lasted for ages. Hope your dc's start to feel better soon.

frumpystumpy · 08/10/2007 09:54

Thank you Em. DD1 is fine (so far) but I nagged at her this morning all the way to school and she didn't deserve it. I have to practice keeping my stresses to myself, I share much too willingly!!

MarsLady · 08/10/2007 09:57

Morning!

Just popping in before I go out!

DD2 has a croupy sounding cough! So I sent her to school.

Some dodgy criminal tried to phish my account, sent me an email to tell me that there had be dodgy activity and could I tell them my full customer number, password and memorable details. Take a hike! If I was that valued you would have called me by my name NOT valued customer! They didn't even spell the bank's name correctly! Sheeeessssssssssssh!!!!!!!!!

Anyhoo.... am off to a lovely PN couple just now.

So loving you and leaving you!

Ooh Mars, identity fraud!! You could have ended up as ANYONE!!

piximon · 08/10/2007 10:01

Ah FG I'm there with you, new week, new palavers to deal with. My aunt's dog died this morning (was sick but hanging on for 2 years so no real surprise, was due to be put to sleep this morning but died before appt) so we've started the day and week feeling really sad. Apart from that it means I have no helper with the nursery run until my aunt is feeling better (she usually takes DS1 in the morning and brings DD1 home in the afternoon). DT1 woke up with an awful cold which combined with her teething has her feeling very sorry for herself. Her reflux has not got any better since she stated moving and this morning she managed to throw up over me 4 times. DT2 is a happier teether but despite a snail like appearance, covering everything including himself in slime there's no sign of a tooth yet. So I'm looking and feeling great and dreading what the rest of the week has in store.

TrickORTripletEm · 08/10/2007 10:06

Can sympathise with you on the reflux problem Piximon. Little Mo had terrible trouble when she was little. Tried everything to make it easier for her, used to go through a whole stack of bibs with her every day and make sure any visitors that were in our home were standing at least three foot away from her after every feed!! I wouldn't feed her anywhere else but at home because of the aftermath

piximon · 08/10/2007 10:16

TripEm, did you find it put people off her? I've found a real difference in the way family members treat the DTs and the only thing I can think of to blame is the reflux. DT1 is more smiley advanced and sociable than DT2 but other than DH and my mum most family members pass her on the way to get to DT2. Even if he is asleep/contented they'll leave her alone, it really upsets me.

TrickORTripletEm · 08/10/2007 11:34

I think it did make a difference in the way that my family acted towards her,such as they were more gentle and sensitive around her. If she was settled they didn't pick her up for fear of making her sick and they were more robust with my other two. I think they sat back alot more with her,mainly because she was with me alot of the time and I don't think that they wanted to or knew how to handle her problems.When she was really bad it was always Mo that was left behind as feeding was such a nightmare with her and when she was in pain she was totally unconsolable. I know how you feel,it is upsetting but don't take it personally,it's not your child people are cautious of it's just what she is going through,they obviously feel that you are totally in control of it and don't want to interfere,which I think is a huge compliment.9keep telling yourself that) The problem I have now is that everyone always,always goes for the girls because they dress alike and are advanced in their speech so are quite easy to chat with. My little man gets so frustrated and you can see him desperately trying to fit in and make himself seen,especially when people say how lovely my twins are!! I have to shove him forward and say actually they are triplets!!I think I'm going to by some T.shirts with 'yes there's three'printed on them!!
I don't know!!! You sort one problem out and another one comes along!!

TrickORTripletEm · 08/10/2007 11:42

And Piximon, rest assured it did not affect her in any way, they soon find a way of making themselves heard!!
(That's my polite way of saying she is a right little madam now and if anyone tried to ignore her they'd soon know all about it!!)

piximon · 08/10/2007 13:42

lol thanks TripEm, it does always help to hear things from someone who has experienced the same or similar. It's awful when one or other is left out so I feel for your lil fella too.

TrickORTripletEm · 08/10/2007 14:27

I don't even have the multipl birth thing going on...and yes! I do. often. I often day dream of pressing pause on everyone - work, kids, DH, and going to have a lovely bath, on my own, then a sleep. but by the time I've finished my daydream all hell has broke loose and I realise that I am not allowed to do that!

onlyjoking9329 · 08/10/2007 19:44

oh yes yes yes i often wanna stop and get off
