Ha ha you and your coffee!! Still can't stomach it. Was reading my pregnancy diary with Euey the other day and went off coffee for 4 months! I think you'd die!! I love their fruit things.

Felt a lot better sicky wise over the last few days, but returned yesterday and actually made myself sick last night before bed. I know that's not good but I just felt so sick and felt so much better afterwards! Slept with a bucket by me but thankfully no more.

Got some friends from Wales here for the weekend with their little one. They arrived yesterday afternoon, here til Sunday afternoon. Had no 'questions' yet so I don't think we'll say anything unless it comes up.
Got loads of stretching going on this morning in my belly and was up every hour last night for a wee!!
Went to asda to get some shopping yesterday afternoon before they came and almost walked out it was just making me feel so sick! First time I've been shopping since finding out, I usually just get bits from the local Sainsburys or do it online. Won't be going shopping again in a hurry!!

You got any plans? :)

H ha it's funny. I never use to be like this with coffee before I had kids!!

Plans?. Er nope. Chris is going racing this afternoon, all evening then again all day tomorrow. He keeps saying he'll take lulu with him. But she won't go while it's cold weather. And it's not lulu who's the hard work.
Tomorrow I might go to Lincoln, or meadow hall, or Nottingham,depends on weather and if I can be arsed to drag two wining kids with me. We went to the farm park a couple of weeks ago and we're going somewhere kid friendly next Sunday, so feel this Sunday is mine!

Plus Krispy Kreme have brought out a new peanut butter donut, so may have to go and test one of those out.

Choccywoccydodah · 14/03/2015 08:28

Bleugh don't mention donuts to me hurl!!

Lol with your coffee, so you need it to keep sane :)

I'd have a nice day off tomorrow too!!

Grin I'm just enjoying my coffee before kids get up. They were late to bed last night with it not being a school night, so not up yet.

Ahhhhhhh it's heaven!

Choccywoccydodah · 14/03/2015 08:33

Send a bito f heaven this way please! 7am here, the last week he's been like that after he gets up for a wee. I sent him back to bed but came in at 7.30. Friends son has JUST got up Envy

8+2, which is what I always said, they said 8w, mummy knows best!
Euey was up all night with abdo pain and constipation poor thing. Temp was 39.1 this morning so I stripped him off and he had a few spots. Took him to the dr and he has chicken pox aswell as constipation poor thing! Sachets given for his poo, just hope his pox doesn't bother him too much :(

That's brilliant!!!!, the photos I mean, not Euan being poorly!!,

Can you see it move when it's that small? It's amazing!!!

Poor Euan! Has he been like that before? Have you got all the usual meds? Boots do a cream instead of the calamine liquid, less messy than the liquid. Hope he doesn't itch too much :((

Choccywoccydodah · 17/03/2015 19:13

Didn't really move but saw a proper heartbeat :)

Euey is rarely ill and always regular with his poos so this has really knocked him for six! He's been dozing all day and just picked a spot on his head the wally!!
I'll have a look in boots for that ta x

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 18/03/2015 14:50

No I spose it's too small and doesn't have arms and legs yet to be bale to move, god Ima dick!

I wouldn't worry too much about him scarring. Lulu was 5 when she got them and scratched loads but barely scarred, in fact I don't think she has any scars at all from them. She had a huge on on the side of her face which she used to pick st but didn't scar.

I hope he's not bad for too long

Any developments on the poo front?

Choccywoccydodah · 18/03/2015 16:22

Had a poo at 12.30, was so pleased! He's not eaten the last couple of days so not expecting any more, but glad he's gone.
Loads of spots today, he's had a bath with Aveeno in and put cream on his spots. Had some piriton and cut his nails! No scratching today :)

lizandlulu · 24/03/2015 14:24

Hey girlies!

Fabby pics Choc! Bet so are so happy ??. When's your next scan? How's Euan?

How are you liz? That pic you put on facebook is so like Violet! How are Lulu and Violet?

Xx

Choccywoccydodah · 28/03/2015 18:49

Hi ladies, sorry I forgot to post! Euey went back to preschool last Tuesday as he was so bored!
I think we got away with the chicken pox not being too bad. He had about 7 or 8 spots on his face which have practically gone, but there's one under his nose that he still keeps playing with! He had about 5 on his back, 2 on his chest by his nipples that were symmetrical so it looked like he had 4 nipples!
A couple on his arms and a cluster of about 7 at the top of his leg and that was it!
Didn't scratch them which was good, and none bothered him bar one on his ear which has gone, and this nose one. I'm going to wait for him to go the sleep and put some talc on it tonight.

All good with moi and baby. Had a slight pinky red spotting bleed around midnight weds night and I got into bed crying to rob as I thought I was losing it again. Then j had nothing bar a real pale bit of brown through Thursday, then reddy pink again about 4pm.
I'd spoken to my trial MW that morning and didn't seem concerned but told me to call EPU if I got anymore. I did and they gote in for a scan yesterday.
Pleased to say all was fine and saw little ones arms and legs and even gave us a wave! Looks like a proper little baby now!
Next scan is Monday at 10 weeks+1, then another at 12 weeks and I think that may be it until 20, but I'm going to ask for one in the middle Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 28/03/2015 18:53

Sorry pressed post!

How are you both? How's the kiddiwinks?

Oooo forgot to say, Euey is now properly dry at night. We haven't lifted him before we go to bed for about 2 weeks now and no accidents! We've left a couple of potties in his room with a little light on and he gets up and goes in the night :)

Here's little one yesterday x

Oooooo you must be so relieved it was nothing to worry bout! What good news!!! ANd god yes I would press for as many as you can! Is a long time to wait from12 to 20! Wow that pic is really clear! You can totally see whats in there ;)

All good here, violets being a little sod but nothing new. Hr favourite thing to say is "but I'll be a good girl mummy" Er when??? When does this good girl thing start???

She fell backwars out a trolley last weekend, we was in Matalan and they have smaller than usual trollys, she just flipped over the side and cracked her head on the floor, a huge lump came straight up, I was so scared I even googled head injury while she was still screaming. But after a few tears she was fine. But god it did scare me!!

Well done Euan on the night time dryness!!!, such a clever boy!!! I still don't think violet is ready, maybe she would if I took her to the loo when I went to bed but I just can't face waking a sleeping child, it goes against my religion ;)

Choccywoccydodah · 29/03/2015 09:39

Ha ha with the Ill be a good girl, is that because Easter bunny is on its way?

Poor thing with falling out the trolley!! Is she ok now? Poor love.
I remember Euey fell out at homebase when he was about 18 months. He was in a baby trolley (clearly too small for him, but they didn't have the seat ones). He was sat upright and not strapped in and he fell off smack on his face! Like you I was straight on Google!! The looks I got from passers by too (were were out the front), anyone had thought I'd just thrown him on the floor!
Hope her bump isn't too bad now poor thing :( So worrying when they hit their heads!

And yes totally agree with not waking a sleeping baby! It's only because he wanted no nappies and was either that or him wake from wetting the bed at the time lol. Thankfully we've gone back to 7.45/8am starts (8.15 this morning, or you could say 9.15 ha ha!) which was nice. Those 7ams were a killer! I've got 7 months left yet!!

Wow that's another fab piccy choc! I bet you feel so reassured and happy seeing little one on the screen.
Lol at Violet saying she will be a good girl liz!
How's her bump?

Well fine at Euey be bf dry at night! So clever. Joshua isn't even dry in the day!!

Dreaded putting the kids to bed last night as they were technically going to bed an hour early but Joshua slept 8:00-8:00 and lucy 7:00-7:30 Grin

Can't remember if I told you but nick went for the snip Shock

Choccywoccydodah · 30/03/2015 21:17

Iwish, Rob said he's booking in when this ones born!! How's Nick with it? When did he have it done?
Yey with both kiddies sleeping through the clock.
Euey asked to go to bed at 8.30 (technically 7.30- he usually goes at 8) and came down at 8.40 :)
Wish they'd leave them alone now!! Love lighter nights.

Is Joshua in pants in the day with accidents or nappies? Can't believe it's nearly a year since we trained Euey! (5th April we started) Where'd that go?? Shock

OP posts:
Iwish · 30/03/2015 21:30

He was fine with it. Op is done in less than an hour then he was home. He said it was a bit tender for a couple of days but we were back to having sex after 3 days.

That was a good sleep from Euey. Wish lucy slept 12 hours every night, she's usually up at 6:00-6:30.

He's in pants but he literally leaves it until he's dancing before he goes to the potty/toilet so most of the time he dribbles in his pants or sometimes wets (almost every day and sometimes 3 times at nursery)
He's fine with poo tho. He was dry June/July/August last year but went downhill from September.

Are you doing anything over the bank holiday?

Choccywoccydodah · 31/03/2015 08:39

Aww bless him. Tbh Euey went through a stage until recently where he dribbled in his pants before he went to the loo. We still take spare pants and trousers everywhere. It's probably only since the new year he's totally stopped! But I darent go out without spares!

Lucy does well to get through to 6/6.30 :)

Blimey sex within 3 days?? Robs best friend had it done around September time, I don't think they had sex that quick! For a while he said it was like everything had slowed right down, like his wee etc but he said it's all good now.
The reason he had it done is he got divorced and had a new girlfriend for 18 months or so (still together, about 3 years now), and she had 2 kids (13 and 11 now) and he's got a coming up 10 year old. Anyway she fell pregnant mid last year and they aborted. He wanted it but she didn't, but they didn't dare tell me at the time due to everything.
Rob knew and he told me so I had a go at them for not telling me! I do understand why they didn't but it annoyed me even more them keeping something from me.
So then he had the snip. He's really excited about ours as he really did want another but his first wife had one from a previous relationship when they got together so she had 2.

Re bank hol, got friday and Friday night off, Euey's at the GPs, so hopefully do something.
Saturday I think we may pop over a few friends and telly them about baby (we're telling Euey Wednesday as scared my big mouth brother will tell Euey Friday when he's at my parents, hes a spiteful twat and he's do it on purpose and he's staying there for a couple of weeks).
Sunday friends are doing and Easter egg hunt around their street, then Monday Euey will be at other GPs as usual I think :)
What about you? Xx

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 08/04/2015 08:48

MorningG, how's things????

All ok here, me and Chris are not speaking due to bank holiday Mardy bastardness, but otherwise, all ok.

How's you two?

Choccywoccydodah · 09/04/2015 12:43

Ha ha that made me laugh liz! Hope nothing too serious!
All good here. Booking apt tomorrow, scan monday. Feeling pressure and my boobs have ballooned! Nothing else besides which is good :)
Just about to walk Euey to preschool, he's only there thursday afternoons due to Easter hol (we pay for Thursday afternoons, rest is funded so we get charged anyway).
Been a long few weeks what with him off just before with chicken pic. Looking forward to next week but my mum and dad go on hol saturday so won't have him Friday's for the next 2 weeks. How rude!

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 09/04/2015 17:55

Ha ha you should have made them take him on their hols!!! Completely unacceptable to have a child free holiday :))

It's killing me to pay full price for violet in nursery again in the half term. Plus lulu wants to go too, but that's only £20, but all adds up!!

We're going to see mr tumble tomorrow at Nottingham, violet will love it!

I'm so glad everything's ok, I think of you daily , hoping everything's good. How many weeks will you be on Monday? Send us a pic won't you.
